Capt Matty specializes in teaching techniques used in the Grand Traverse Region. Fish Moxie shares the passion, excitement and appreciation of prized catches while providing the education and knowledge to respect the resource.
While our specialties are Walleye, Perch, Pike, Lake Trout and Cisco, we pursue whatever fish guests would like to catch.
At Fish Moxie we spend most of our days on Long Lake, Lake Leelanau, Platte Lake or Green Lake in Interlochen. However, we can be spotted fishing the waters of Grand Traverse Bay when the bites are hot!
The boat we fish on is a 19' open deck Tiller-style boat that has a capacity of 6, but will comfortably fish up to 3 people. Our boat can be trailered to any lake within the Grand Traverse area.
Fish Moxie can provide everything needed for fishing experience. You supply a valid Michigan fishing license and any desired refreshments.
