Matt Willis

Member since June 2023 Lakeport, United States
Background
I have been bass fishing almost exclusively on Clear Lake for over 15 years, and as a resident of Lakeport, I have the luxury of being able to fish here regularly. In general, I have been fishing for as long as I could hold a rod. My passion is giving others the opportunity to discover our amazing fishery first-hand – there's nothing quite like it. I am also a CTA (Certified Tourism Ambassador) for Lake County and work with the Chamber of Commerce to make visiting Clear Lake an incredible experience for all.
Techniques
I utilize and teach both power and finesse techniques. My preferred methods are fast-moving reaction baits and frogging, though I am not afraid to pick up lighter tackle when necessary. While I do encourage clients to throw large swimbaits, they aren't my primary choice for those just wanting to go out and catch fish. I do not employ live bait unless it is a winter trip.
