Captain
Bruce Shane

Member since June 2022 Elberta, United States
Background
Captain Bruce has been fishing since 5 years old. He loves the outdoors and was blessed to have a mother and father and later a wife that encouraged his fishing hobby. When Captain Bruce was little, after he, his dad, and his brother would get out of the rowboat after fishing, the captain would continue to fish from the bank the rest of the day – he was obsessed. He bought his first boat when he was 14 years old and has fished in the inland waters of Michigan, the Great Lakes, and the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
Techniques
Fishing from a boat, Captain Bruce likes casting, jigging, drifting, and trolling. For Salmon and Trout charters on Lake Michigan, he primarily trolls. For Walleye charters on Lake Erie, he uses jigging and trolling.
