Meet Captain Matt

I’ve been fishing Lake Erie for 25 years. In that time, I’ve watched this lake humble every angler who underestimates it, and reward everyone willing to learn it. It’s become a place I’m genuinely fond of — and that’s not something I say lightly. As a licensed United States Merchant Mariner Captain, with 9 years of professional captaining experience, I take the safety and quality of every trip seriously. But beyond the credentials, what drives me is simpler than that: I want you to fall in love with Lake Erie the same way I did.


Whether you’re chasing walleye at sunrise or shooting gar under the lights at midnight, my goal is the same — to make your time on the water as effective and memorable as possible, so you leave with a story worth telling. In 2019, we added Bowfishing to our lineup almost on a whim. It quickly became the most unique thing we offer — and honestly, one of the experiences people never forget. We now have guests traveling from across the country specifically for it. That still gets me every time. Come see what all the fuss is about!
