About Traverse Bass: Growing up in Michigan, I spent all of my summers and free time chasing any and every fish that I could. I grew up fishing the gin-clear waters of northern Michigan for smallmouth bass, salmon, steelhead and perch. As a USCG licensed Captain, I have the experience necessary to fish these waters. As one who grew up fishing these waters, my experience can put you on fish. As a laid-back guy, we'll have lots of fun!
