Family History: Brothers Captains Jim and Chad Bard are Grandsons of a
commercial fisherman we have grown up on Lake Michigan fishing out of the
Port of South Haven. Our grandfather commercially fished for mostly
whitefish and chubs in the 1950's and 1960's until the lottery that ended
it. Our father and uncles turned to salmon fishing and fished in
tournaments from Michigan City to Ludington. We and multiple family
members have won and placed in many tournaments for the past 30 years and
are still very well recognized and respected on the tournament trail. Our
parents still live and have a small marina on the Black River in South
Haven so the access to the Lake continues. |
