MEET CAPT'N JAKE...

Capt’n Jake has been a USCG Captain since 2006. He has logged almost 1500 days on the water since purchasing his first boat over 20 years ago.

The vast majority of his time on the water has been spent fishing 8 hour tournaments in the lakes and rivers of Western Massachusetts through participation in 10 different clubs and open trails. Thriving in this format he has consistently finished in the top ranks and earned a reputation in the Western New England competitive angling community as a force to be reckoned with.

He is married to his high school sweetheart Sandi whom he met 27 years ago. Together they have a 7 year old daughter Christina Rae and 6 year old son Mason Lane.

The Captain has owned and operated his downtown business-district restaurant named “City Jakes Cafe” since 1992.

His Legal name is Ronald Alden Crochetiere which ironically means “leader of fisherman”. SO LEADING YOU TO GREAT FISHING IS IN HIS BLOOD!
