Outside of the Bayfield fishing charter season, Captain Tom works as a chef. Over the years he has been featured in local and national publications. Be sure to ask him for some of his recipe’s before departing for the day. Success is more than catching the fish, the true test is how it tastes at the end of the day!

Captain Jim Jonasen
