Captain
Nate Wellman

Member since March 2022 Newaygo, United States

Background: Capt. Nate Wellman grew up fishing with his dad every chance they could, that is where the captain's love for fishing started. He looked at his dad when he was 10 and told him he wants to fish every day for the rest of his life. Capt. Nate has never looked back from there.
Techniques: Capt. Nate is a power fisherman who likes to cover lots of water and find active fish. He uses conventional tackle the most but definitely enjoys fly fishing as well.

Fishing is fantastic!!!!

Jun 3, 2025 Whitehall

The salmon fishing on Lake Michigan is definitely in full swing. It's going to be a banner summer in my opinion this year. We have some openings coming up if you want to have fun catching these amazing fish and take them home for dinner.

Salmon fishing is on ?

6 Hour Trip (AM)

4 of us did 2 morning trips. Caught fish both days, some good sizes. Taking plenty home with us. Joe was our captain each day with Jeremy as our 1st mate. Both guys got us ready to go and did great helping us land the salmon. I did 2 days last year, plan on coming back.
