Get to know your Guide

Bigelow's Bronzeback Guide Service started as an idea to take people fishing between my professional tournaments, but it has now become my main focus because of the enjoyment it brings me and my clients. I have recently stepped back from competitive tournament bass fishing to enhance this guiding service even farther and assist individuals in developing their skills and knowledge about bass fishing.

Having spent many years on the waters of Sturgeon Bay and Lake Michigan, I have gathered a wealth of spots that can meet your needs. Whether you’re interested in pursuing trophy smallmouth bass or just having a great time catching a variety of fish, I can accommodate that. We can also pursue both options depending on the season! I am always prepared to cater to what you’re looking for.

My mission

I look forward to not only putting you on fish but also teaching you the why and how to fish the technique we are fishing that day. No question is a dumb question as I try to grow your understanding for a species that is so close to my heart, the SMALLMOUTH BASS! I am proud to say MANY of my clients have broken their personal biggest bass with me and I look forward to having the same opportunity with you!
