Captain
Michael Harter

Member since December 2022 Westminster, United States
Background
Capt. Mike meets his clients at a selected boat ramp closes to where the fish are depending on the time of year. He has a 21’ Nitro Z21 bass boat for bass fishing and 22' Bennington Pontoon set up for striper fishing for up to 6 people. These waters are known for Bass/Stripers/Hybrids and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're using live bait, trolling or jigging. With great knowledge of the area and a good network of other guides, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
Techniques
Live bait, spoons and trolling for stripers. Artificial baits for large mouth and spotted bass.
