Captain
James Whitaker

Member since March 2022 Vermilion, United States
Background
Capt. James runs trips out of Vermilion aboard a 21’ North River. These waters are known for Walleye and he will show you how to catch them. With years of experience, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
Techniques
My favorite preferred method chasing walley would be trolling. I find trolling the most productive way to put fish in the boat.
