GreatLakesBass.com is pleased to announce that Art Ferguson has signed on as an advertiser sponsor of the website with his Art of Fishing Guide Service and his PROvider Tackle company. Please join me in welcoming him aboard.


Art is a full-time professional bass angler and one of the longest standing, best known fully licensed bass fishing guides specializing in smallmouth bass on Lake St. Clair and the Detroit River during the summer and fall months. He also guides for big largemouth bass in the winter and spring down in Florida. I know many people who have hired him and had nothing but good things to say about their fishing experience. Art is only one of a handful of persons from Michigan to qualify for and fish the Bassmaster Classic also.

If you want a professional guide experience with someone who has decades of knowledge on Lake St. Clair and the Detroit River to catch those big smallmouth bass, check out the Art of Fishing Guide Service.

Art Ferguson also owns and operates the quality bass fishing tackle pro shop PROvider Tackle! Due to his 25 years of fishing experience on Lake St. Clair, Art came up with his own unique design of tube jig head that he feels is the best out there. Many top anglers agree and use the Performance Series tube heads.

Art continues to design and have custom made products such as his Cut'n Edge Series Swim Jigs.


And of course to compliment his Performance Series tube head Art has designed smallmouth bass catching colors in 3 sizes of tube bait to cover all smallie fishing situations - the PROvider Tackle Performance Series tube baits!


PROvider Tackle also sells his own line of high quality football jigs, finesse jigs, Shakey Heads


along with all the specialty weights and rigging supplies you would need to catch that giant smallmouth bass (or largemouth).



PROviderTackle.com - PROS choose it, WE supply it!!
