From the Corps to the Coast

After retiring from the Marine Corps, Trevor Johnson noticed something missing in Grand Haven — a quality bait and tackle shop right in town. Instead of driving to Nunica or Spring Lake, local anglers deserved a shop of their own.

Six weeks of remodeling later, Crispy Outdoors opened its doors and has been serving the community ever since.
