  Made The Best of It!

  Second trip on September 26, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

  The weather didnt cooperate but we made the best of it. Captain Matt is exactly what you would expect for a fishing guide. He offered a great expereince, great stories, and some great fishing, even if we didnt bag out.

  GREAT CAPTAIN . GREAT FISHING EXPERIENCE

  Second trip on August 21, 2026 • 2 adults

  Captain Matt was awesome! we had the best time walleye fishing at Lake Erie! Captain had great stories to tell, kept us safe, and fishing was perfect! He was timely and professional, and took the time to clean, fillet, freeze and deliver our fish! We will be repeat customers! Thanks Captain Matt! PS: he also took great pictures for us! 😉

  Catching Walleye, Fishing Optional

  7 Hour Trip 5AM (1-2 guests) on August 6, 2026 • 2 adults

  We had 2 great trips with Captain Matt and deckhand Charlotte! he put us right on the fish and we caight walleye on both trips pretty much straight from the lines getting to depth until we had a limit! It really was more catching than fishing. Capt Matt knows where the fish are, and knows where the big fish are too! we couldn’t have asked for a better experience and look forward to when we can go again!

  Will definitely be repeat customers

  6 Hour Trip 4PM (1-2 guests) on August 11, 2026 • 2 adults

  From start to finish our trip was perfect. Captain Matt knows the water like the back of his hand. We caught our Walleye limit with ease which was also filleted for us. I would recommend this trip to anyone!

  1sr time fishing Erie

  7 Hour Trip 5AM (1-2 guests) on June 11, 2026 • 2 adults

  This was our first time fishing Lake Erie. When we booked the thrip it stated the we would be fishing for not only Walleye , but also trout and perch. We had booked for 7 hour trip for roughly $380 and all we caught Wllawh.eye and nothing else. For the price that we had pad we should have out longer and fishing for lake trout and perch as advertised on his fishingbooker4 site. We booked for 7hrs fishing and were only out for about 2.r roe hr w h. We caigughr our limit on wallets.rhen 7aw head ime[.
