Meet the Crew

Meet the Captain

Meet the Captain, Will Smigelski. A fisherman (and avid hunter) by nature and nurture, fishing is a part of Will’s bones. He has enjoyed taking many fishing trips with his family and is excited to be able to help others enjoy his passion as well.

Captain Will Smigelski is a licensed captain by the U.S. Coast Guard, as well as CPR trained. He has navigated the waters of Northeast Lake Huron since childhood. He has been a part of many successful tournament teams over the years and looks forward to helping you make lasting memories on the water.

Meet the Boat

Meet the Boat, Betty Jane. Her name is in memory of Will’s mother, Betty Jane, who lost her battle with cancer. Will’s mother was always encouraging his love for the outdoors, so it seemed fitting to name the boat after her.

Betty Jane is a 2900 Tiara Open with an 11’ 4” beam, providing you with space to move around and enjoy the excursion.

You can feel comfortable and safe trolling and coasting in the Betty Jane as she is fully licensed, insured and DNR inspected. She is also equipped with coast guard approved water safety equipment for all on board.

Betty Jane has quality fishing equipment onboard to assist the success of your trip:

Ray Marine Auto Pilot
Ray Marine Chart Plotter/fish finder
Okuma Rod and Reels
Cannon Down Riggers
Cannon Rod Holders
Ship to Shore marine radio
Large variety of fishing tackle
