My boss and I booked another morning trip, 1 year after our first time with Dog’s Life and this fishing excursion went even better. We were blessed with another sunny, warm and calm day.
By now we felt we knew Matt and our humor and camaraderie clicked and that was important for all the little things to make a memorable day.
We ended up catching our limit in about 1 hour and Matt had all our fish cleaned and we were leaving for home in no time.
We caught all fish with small, Dreamweaver boards and spoons fished at the correct depth. 
Matt had the fish patterned well by this time in August and this won’t be the last time we fish with Dog’s Life Sport Fishing.
Looking forward to next year.

Four of us went out and had a great time. Water was very rough but Captain really cared that we did not waste our time. Came asway with some great fish and a great time.

Captain Matt is very focused on catching fish. My daughter (she’s 24)and I went out for the 5am charter and Capt. Matt was all business. We started catching walleye instantly.  He doesn’t talk much, so if you want someone with a lot to say I don’t think Capt. Matt is your guy. He is watching lines and getting a rod in your hands that have a fish on it. He said the bite wasn’t very good but we thought 2 hours to limit out was pretty good. So if you want someone that seems like he really wants to see you catch fish ,Capt. Matt is your guy. The boat was nothing fancy. It seemed like a little bit of a heavy boat where we didn’t get beat up. That was nice. I did like that you could sit up front where it’s covered and warm for the 5am ride out. He said there was a toilet but we didn’t use it. We took a small cooler for drinks and some muffins for breakfast. Leave the big cooler in the car for when you get back with the fish. Take ziplock bags to put your filets in , Captain Matt will clean and filet for you. If you ask him to take pictures, check them out, he’s not a very good photographer. Lol. But he knows fish. There was 2 of us I wouldn’t go with more than 3 , I’m not sure what he allows but to me more than 3 people fishing would be a little tight. I will use him again if we decide to do another charter. Thinking lake trout in the spring.

This was our first time on a charter boat on Erie and it couldn’t have been a better experience.  It was a rough ride out of the marina with some real choppy waves and winds, but Captian Matt handled it like the pro he is.  The fishing started off hot and we were rolling. Great way to enjoy the day with my son and his girlfriend. Captian Matt definitely knows how to put you on the fish, plus his easy going manner and willingness to answer even the most mundane questions put us at ease and made for a really enjoyable experience.  This was the way to go! And taking home a bunch of slab filets that he took care of for us was awesome! Time for a fish fry!
