About Us
Captain Mark RapsonHello! Thank you for visiting our website. I am a fully licensed US Coast Guard Master Captain. I have been fishing the Great Lakes for over 20 years, starting at the age of 7 with my grandfather. Through his guidance and my family's support I was able to expand my fishing knowledge, especially with regards to Great Lakes salmon, trout and walleye. I fished my first tournament at the age of 18 on the Michigan Walleye Tour. Shortly thereafter, I began fishing salmon tournaments and haven't stopped since.
I will work hard to ensure you have a fun and exciting experience on Lake Michigan. I am a husband and father so don't hesitate to bring the family out. There are few things more enjoyable than helping a child land a Lake Michigan trophy. I look forward to seeing you on the water! |
