My 11 YO son, my father in law and I went out with Captain Matt. He was awesome and I wish we booked him both days. He was great with my son, as he’d hook a fish occasionally and hand it to him…really great guide for kids. We caught a good chunk of fish and hit a few big fish on a pretty choppy day. I would absolutely rebook with him in the future. high recommend!
Thanks Brian! such a great day on the water. Hopefully we can get back out on the water in the future! Matt
Certainly helped by great weather, but this was a fabulous day of fishing. Captain Matt was awesome! He is very knowledgeable about the Georgian Bay area, the water, and the prime fishing spots. We hooked into a 6 pounder first thing and the whole day was filled with bass and pike. Very enjoyable and a great experience!

Midland, Ontario, Canada
I am fortunate enough to have grown up with a fishing rod in hand. A strong family background that encouraged me to spend time on the water and outdoors in general. I am a teacher at heart, and love sharing my skills with others.
