Captain
David Weil

Member since January 2019 Tilbury, Canada
Background
It all started at Capt. David Weil's grandfather's farm pond...within minutes he caught his first fish, a Largemouth Bass, and he was hooked! Since the early age of 6, Capt. David has developed and grown an extreme passion for the sport of fishing. He's been fishing the Great Lakes since his early childhood, and has had the pleasure of fishing and guiding on the Great Lakes, as well as many lakes throughout NW Ontario. He also has many hours of tournament experience fishing local tournaments, like Musky’s Canada Belle river chapter opener and closer events, Big Boys Derby, Lasalle Walleye Classic and a few others. Capt. David is driven to ensure success every time he sets sail on the water, and we ensure you that you are in good hands!
Techniques
Weil does whatever it takes to put fish in the boat. Staying on top of the fish and following feeding and migrational patterns are two major keys for success. As far as technique trolling is preferred. It gives us the best way to get as many baits out there in a timely manner and figure the bite out quicker while covering lots of territory.
