Meet Captain Michael Flores

Captain Michael Flores grew up fishing the waters of Lake Erie, discovering early on the joy it brings to families, friends, and anglers of all skill levels. What started as a childhood hobby quickly became a lifelong passion, and over the years, Michael turned that enthusiasm into a career guiding others on the lake. His hands-on approach and deep knowledge of the local waters ensure that every outing is both educational and enjoyable.

One of Captain Michael’s most memorable guiding experiences involved three anglers who were ready to give up on Lake Erie fishing after disappointing past trips. Over a challenging two-day outing, even with rough conditions and one guest feeling ill, Michael’s expertise turned the experience around. They caught their limits both days and left amazed at the difference a knowledgeable, patient guide can make. Stories like this highlight Michael’s dedication to his guests and his ability to create memorable, successful days on the water.

What sets Captain Michael apart from other guides is his passion for the sport and his commitment to sharing it with others. His approach is supportive, educational, and engaging, whether you’re a first-time angler or a seasoned veteran. With expert knowledge of Lake Erie’s Western Basin, he navigates reefs, islands, and shallow waters to find walleye, yellow perch, and other seasonal species. Guests consistently praise his easygoing nature, patience with kids, and ability to make learning fun while delivering an authentic Lake Erie fishing experience.
