We had an amazing trip and loved fishing with Captain Bob and Captain Kevin. They were kind, knowledgeable, very experienced, and worked hard to put us on the fish. Our teen boys enjoyed learning about the different fishing techniques. We can’t wait to go with them again next time!

Whether you're an expereinced angler looking to get on a good bite, or a newer angler looking to expand your skills and knowledge, St Joe Angler is the way to go. Jon has guided me on numerous occasions, teaching myself and my son how to fly fish, and getting us on fish time and time again. His knowledge of Michigan waterways is up there with the best of them, book your next trip with Jon, you will not be dissapointed!

This was my first fishing charter and let me tell you it won't be my last!! Myself and my buddy tore em up, I caught my personal best smallmouth and I wouldn't have been able to have done without our guide Matt. Matt is a very knowledgeable angler and he knows where to put you on the fish!! Give em a call and get on the water, you won't be disappointed!!
