Captain Willis Kerridge

Captain Willis has been charter fishing for over 40 years and is the owner of Thunderduck Sportfishing Charters. While Willis has fished many ports along Lake Michigan, his homeport is Grand Haven.

Having fished the Great Lakes for over 40 years, Captain Willis has won over 25 fishing tournaments and has plenty of knowledge on salmon fishing. He shares his fishing knowledge with the fishing community as a member of the Grand Haven Charter Boat Association, Lake Michigan Task Force, and the Michigan Charter Boat Association.

When not out on the big lake, you can find Willis at Fish On Bait & Tackle in Nunica where he is a co-owner. You can stop by to stock up on your gear & bait, ask him about the local hot spots for panfish, and meet his two yellow labs – Toebe & Gabbie.

Be sure to catch Captain Willis on 92.1FM WGHN’s daily fishing report during the Spring & Summer!
