Fish Moxie: Northern Michigan's Inland Lake Specialists
Experience the Thrill of the Grand Traverse Region with Capt Matty

Whether you're a seasoned angler chasing a trophy or a family looking to create lifelong memories, Fish Moxie offers a premier guided experience on Northern Michigan's most beautiful waters. Specializing in the unique techniques of the Grand Traverse area, Capt Matty combines 30+ years of local knowledge with a deep passion for the sport and a respect for the resource.

Where We Fish
We follow the bite to ensure you have the best chance at a successful day. Our primary haunts include:

Long Lake & Lake Leelanau (Walleye & Perch)

Platte Lake & Green Lake (Pike & Bass)

Grand Traverse Bay (When the Lake Trout and Cisco bites are red hot!)

The Fish Moxie Advantage
Target Your Prize: While we specialize in Walleye, Perch, Pike, Lake Trout, and Cisco, we are happy to pursue whatever species you are most excited to catch.

The Perfect Boat for the Job: We fish from a 19' open-deck Tiller-style boat. The tiller design is a game-changer—it keeps the deck wide open for maximum fishing room and allows Capt Matty to stay right next to you to provide hands-on coaching and netting.

Versatility: Our boat is fully trailered, meaning we can meet you at any lake within the Grand Traverse area to stay on top of the best fishing conditions.

Family & Group Friendly: Our vessel has a capacity for 6, though we recommend up to 3 anglers for the most comfortable and productive fishing experience.

What's Included
We provide everything you need for a professional-grade day on the water, including high-quality rods, reels, tackle, and bait.

What You Should Bring:

A valid Michigan fishing license (Required)

Your favorite snacks and refreshments

A camera for your 'hero shot' with the big one!

Book your trip with Fish Moxie today and let's get on the water!

Jessica, it was a true pleasure having you and “Fish-E” on the boat! The enthusiasm of the catch from the both of you, made it easy and exciting for me to be your guide! Great job, parenting, and keep feeding that passion! Looking forward to our next adventure!
