Meet Mike, a seasoned angler and valued member of the Gibbs Pro team. His journey into the world of fishing began at a tender age, guided by the wisdom and enthusiasm of his grandfather. Those early days by the river, playing the role of his grandfather's first mate in the boat fishing Lake Huron, laid the foundation for a lifelong passion.
The pivotal moment that etched fishing into Mike's heart was the exhilarating experience of reeling in his first salmon. That triumphant catch ignited a flame that has burned brightly throughout his life, evolving into a deep-seated love for the sport. As Mike traversed the landscape of his growing years, his passion for fishing matured, leading him to purchase his own boat and set sail on the expansive waters of Lake Ontario.
Taking his commitment to the next level, Mike delved into competitive fishing, participating in tournaments that tested his skill and determination. With time, he ventured into chartering, driven by a desire to share the joy of angling with others. His ultimate goal is to instill in his clients that same sense of awe and fulfillment he experienced when he hooked his first salmon, cherishing the radiant smiles on their faces as they battle a ferocious King.
Mike's expertise and success in the fishing world are highlighted by his fondness for the Gibbs paddle, particularly the O’ki Kingfisher paired with a Rhys Davis Large Teaser. This dynamic combo propelled him onto the prestigious Great Ontario Salmon board not once, but thrice in the remarkable year of 2019.
As a dedicated member of the Gibbs Pro team, Mike continues to contribute his wealth of knowledge and passion for fishing, leaving an indelible mark on the angling community. With each cast, he strives to create lasting memories for himself and those fortunate enough to share the waters with him.
