Captain Mike Zainea |
Captain Mike Zainea has spent his entire life in the St. Clair Shores area, and has had a love for the lake since he was a young boy. At an early age, Mike was introduced to fishing by a family friend who regularly took him out on the lake on the weekends. It was love at first site for Mike, who decided right then that he would always stay near the lake so he could fish. As the years went by, Mike's love of fishing grew, and so did the size of the fish he was after! Mike caught his first muskie, and they have served as his true love ever since! He is an avid supporter of catch-and-release. Over the last several years, he has released over a thousand muskie safely back into the waters to continue to grow. Mike spends hundreds of hours every season on Lake St. Clair in search of the next big muskie, and his dedication and knowledge of muskie has helped him to become a well-respected angler among his peers and in the angling community. In the off-season, Mike is a Middle School teacher
who shares his love of the outdoors and his love of fishing with his
students. |

| In his spare time, he likes to paint muskie lures and create new patterns and other modifications to make those monsters want to hit! He has been creating custom painted muskie lures since 1998. His most recent project is the creation of the Lake St. Clair Muskie Shop, and the acquisition of his Captain's license from the U.S. Coast Guard. | |||||
