The Keweenaw Logbook is an outdoor lifestyle publication + podcast created to highlight the grit and beauty of the Keweenaw Peninsula. We want to feature individuals that lean into the environment, whether for work or for play, in all of the elements. The end product of these projects will be a working anthology of the people and places of the Keweenaw that encompass all the qualities that make this area of the world so special.

    Travis White grew up in the U.P. and has cultivated his love for fishing from a young age. What started as a hobby has turned into Keweenaw Fishing Charters, where Travis shares his love of fishing (and extensive knowledge) with folks both living in and visiting the area. Being on the water has also led him to Captaining the Great Lakes Research Vessel based out of Michigan Tech's Great Lakes Research Center. Pretty neat. After our interview we had the pleasure of going out onto the water with Travis and his partner Jane, to see what all the hype was about for ourselves. His passion for fishing is contagious, and now we're a little bit hooked on fishing, too.
