Specializing in Smallmouth Bass

Operating from Kap’s Marina on Washington Island.

Come and experience some of the finest Smallmouth bass fishing in the U.S.

Washington Island is known for both the numbers and size of its Smallmouths.  Hard-core fishermen and beginners alike are welcome.   A day on the water fishing is a fun family outing.  I enjoy teaching people to fish and children are welcome.

Charters are available from Opening Day,  July 1 through November (weather permitting).  Summer fishing is great, but it doesn’t end with Summer. Some of the largest Smallmouth are consistently caught in the Fall.
