REELMD Charter and Guide Service is located in Vermilion and offers to show you a memorable time in these waters. For Capt. Matt, your trip starts 2-3 days beforehand.  He spends that time pre-fishing, reviewing reports, and assessing conditions. When on board, his 3 priorities are crew safety, comfort, and fun.

Capt. Matt will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. This involves various trips tailored to your desired experience, mainly fishing for Walleye, Perch, and Smallmouth Bass depending on the season and conditions.

On these trips, you can expect to use techniques such as light tackle, trolling, fly fishing, drift fishing, jigging, and spinning.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 28' Pursuit boat that can safely take up to 5 anglers. This boat comes with a toilet and an ice-box.

All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. Please make sure to buy a valid fishing license ahead of time.

Great escape!
Learn-to-Fish on June 25, 20262 adults1 child

Captain Matt Dailey was great with families. He was patient with my 7rd old and taught us about rigging up different ways. It worked because we brought perch, freshwater drum and walleye on the boat. An excellent trip! The boat was walk on ready.

Reported catch:
Walleye
Yellow Perch

Half Day Trip with Captain Matt
on July 2, 2025

We had an absolute blast with Captain Matt! He was so easy to work with...communicated/responded well, marina was easy to find, boat was well-equipped and clean. Within minutes of being on the water we had our first fish on the line and then never went more than 15 minutes without catching another. We limited out on Walleye! Matt's a friendly and knowledgeable guy who will keep you entertained while teaching you a few things. He even had all of our fish cleaned and packaged for us...you can't beat that! If you're looking for a fun, relaxing day on the lake, I'd highly recommend Captain Matt Dailey and ReelMD Charter!

Afternoon Bite on June 7, 20254 adults1 child

We had a wonderful trip with Capt Matt. We joined Capt Matt for an afternoon trip that didn’t let us down. We had group of people with various level of experience and Capt Matt made sure everyone was able to enjoy the afternoon. We all enjoyed our time on the water and had the added bonus of leaving with a cooler full of walleye. Would highly recommend a trip with Capt Matt. We’ve already booked our trip for next year.

Well the waves were a bit rough but we were determined to make a morning of it. Caught some fish. Made a friend at the same time. Captain Matt didn’t let us done. He was a pleasure to hang out with and very informative, since we aren’t the greatest fisherman and fisherwomen. Thanks for the experience.

Ever since he was 8 years old, Captain Matt has had a fishing rod in his hand. Farm ponds, gravel pits, streams, rivers, lakes and oceans, it doesn't matter, the captain has fished them all. Captain Matt was born on the shores of Lake Erie and has lived on and around the Great Lakes his entire life. His passion has been validated by friends, family, and clients. He loves to teach people how to catch fish and he earned his captain's license in 2017.
