Fish On!
Fishing Guide Service
Your Guide
My fishing journey began over 35 years ago at the age of 5. I fell in love with the sport the moment I landed my first fish. From that moment on, I've feed the hunger and like a sponge, I soaked up as much knowledge as I could. Growing up in Cape Breton, I chased brook trout, brown trout, rainbow trout, Atlantic salmon, cod, mackerel, and anything else willing to bite. After moving to the mainland after university, I was introduced to other species such as smallmouth bass, chain pickerel, yellow perch, and the mighty striped bass.
In 2016 I decided to become a certified, licensed, and insured fishing guide, in order to share my passion and knowledge with others. Whether you are new to the sport, or a season angler, I can accommodate your fishing needs. Let's go fishing!
