Our Story

Our journey began many years ago when Captain Mike Jousma, our founder and lead captain, started his guide business with a single boat and a burning desire to show clients how to have the most fun possible catching fish on the beautiful lakes in northwest Montana. Over time, Mike's fleet of boats grew as he hired some of the best and most experienced fishing captains in the lower forty-eight. Today, our team of skilled guides and captains are committed to providing top-notch fishing charters and scenic tours that create lifelong memories for our guests.
