I've been fishing since I was 10 years old, and what started as a past time with friends and family quickly turned into a full-blown obsession. Growing up in West Michigan, I had some of the best water in the country right in my backyard — and I spent every chance I could on it. Over the next decade and a half, I went from chasing panfish to dialing in steelhead and salmon runs on the Grand, Muskegon River, and Manistee river, learning the nuances of each stretch of water through pure time on the water. That passion eventually led me to turn what I love into a job, founding Aqua Addicts Guide Service to share these rivers with people who are just as hooked on fishing as I am. Fishing for steelhead, smallmouth, and salmon is my passion. I love teaching people how to fish and enjoying a day on the water!
I do this because I love it. I love helping anglers elevate their game and accomplish their goals on the water. It brings me a lot of satisfaction and happiness.
I’ve fished with Carson a number of times over the years and every trip is a great time. He is great at teaching, breaking down exactly how a run should be fished, putting you in the best position to succeed. He is a great fisherman and even better guy. His rig is dialed in with a clean, comfortable boat. Always a good day on the water.

I am fortunate to have spent a few days on the water with Carson, he’s a great guide, super knowledgeable, and a HECK of an angler himself.
