- Background
- I've been fishing since I was too young to remember. As I grew up I fished in every conceivable piece of water I could reach via bicycle. As I got older I was lucky to spend tons of time on Lake Erie and Presque Isle Bay. It was my dream to be able to take people fishing for a living one day.That dream was interrupted by a 20 year career in information technology, starting a family, and building a future. In the summer of 2019 I lost my mother to cancer. In the aftermath of that experience I knew I had to make a change in my professional life. Shortly there after I refocused on my passions and Chasing Dreams Sportfishing was born. Today I'm lucky to share my love of fishing with people of all ages and skill levels.
- Techniques
- I personally love all kinds of fishing and you’re just as likely to find me catching walleye, bass and pike as you are lake trout and steelhead or throwing a bobber and jig for bluegill. I love the challenge of big fish but catch everything using many methods because it’s fun! As far as my walleye charters go... I’m primarily a western and central basin Lake Erie trolling operation. Watching a planer board disappear behind our spread makes my heart skip a beat, and when the fish are receptive to jigging it’s some of the most fun you can have.
