About
Captain Craig Koepke has been fishing the waters of Lake Michigan since he was a little boy…from fishing for Perch with his father on the Michigan City pier to battling the steelhead on the family property next to Friendship Gardens. Craig’s life has revolved around fishing for most of his life.
Captain Craig decided in 2008 to take the step to become a charter Captain and share his passion for fishing with the rest of the world…
