Member since February 2023 Muskegon, United States
Background
I grew up fishing on Lake Michigan with my father, enjoying our summers as a family chasing salmon up and down the coast love for fishing is something that has always stuck with me, and lead me to start a Charter boat, so that I can share my love for fishing with others. I get just as much joy out of seeing the smile on someone's face when they reel in a fish as I get by reeling one in myself now.
