 Team EO on the run to the fishing grounds. Fishing out of Grand Haven, with quick access to Lake Michigan and its premier salmon and trout fishery, provides a great training ground for sharpening our team's tournament skills. Professional fishing offers the opportunity and environment to leverage an Outdoor lifestyle - we don't just talk about Experiencing the Outdoors - we live it, and we live it HARD! |
Team Experience Outdoors has a fine core of motivated and experienced anglers who eat, sleep, and dream fishing. When were not fishing we are helping people learn how to fish, or researching to improve our fishing. Fishing is a way of life for us, not in the traditional sense; we're focused on community involvement, conservation, research, and sharing our knowledge to improve and continue the legacy of fishing as a sport and an enriching lifestyle.
You wont find a better or smarter team anywhere! |

 Legend has it that Jim was born with a fishing rod in his hands. From a very early age he was a diehard fishermen. His father and grandfathers knew that his pleas for just one more fish were stall tactics but they would usually give in to his passion for fishing. For the first nine years of his life, Jim was content chasing panfish, bass, pike and walleyes on Michigan's inland lakes and streams. Then one day in 1974, a trip out of Ludington on Lake Michigan after salmon with his grandfather would change his life forever. His passion for salmon fishing has only gained momentum through the years as he studied tactics and became proficient as a big water troller. |

 Rick started fishing at age 5 in a relatives private lake for bass and pan fish, his father then took him fishing for walleye and pike in Ontario, and in the Florida Keys for king fish. Rick started fishing steelhead and salmon in the mid 70s as a self described "river rat" and then caught the big lake fever bad. He made an attempt to fish some local BASS tournaments before the call of the big fish in the big pond overcame him.

 Born with the "boat gene", Tom has spent most of his life on or around the water. At the age of 5 he was taken on his first fishing trip; nailing monster perch on Hubbard Lake, near Alpena, MI and catching bass in Fletcher's Pond. By age 9 he was a veteran of numerous fishing trips to Ontario for bass, pike, and walleye. Here is a photo of Tom and his dad on one of their Canadian trips.

 Fishing has been a part of Greg's life since he can remember, and probably before then. Greg grew up on Lake St. Clair and spent large parts of each summer at the family cabin in Atlanta, MI where he had access to several natural lakes: including Brush, Hiawatha, Rush, Fletcher's, and Clear. Whether he was bobber and worm fishing for Perch and Bluegill off the dam near the cabin or trying to emulate his brother Dennis and neighbor Mark by driving them crazy in the 14' Sears flat-bottom fishing for Pike and Bass, fishing has always been something he's done.
