Enjoy salmon and trout fishing from one of Michigan’s top producing areas, with Captain Jack Duffy. Leland has been a focal point since the early 1970s. The main reason is because of the nearby Manitou Islands. The “Whitecap” is a 27-foot Tiara with fully interfaced, state-of-the-art electronics, with satellite and radar designed to get you where the fish are quickly and safe.
