About Your Guide

My love for fishing started as a youngster in Newfoundland  fishing for trout in lakes and rivers.  

​

We moved to Nova Scotia when I was 10, and not long after that my family bought a cottage on Moodie Cove, near the mouth of Pictou Harbour.   Since then, I’ve spent my free time exploring Northern Nova Scotia's lakes, rivers and ocean waters, fishing small mouth bass, trout, mackerel, and of course the mighty Atlantic salmon.  

​

When the striped bass fishery re-opened in 2017,

I soon got hooked fishing for them on the beautiful beaches and inlets of the Northumberland Strait. 

​

Now after 29 years as a first responder, I’ve started a new adventure -  Stripers of the Strait.  As a  certified Nova Scotia fishing guide, I’ll take you to my favourite fishing spots, set you up with quality fishing gear, help you hook some stripers and maybe even tell a few fishing stories.   I'm also excited to offer walk and wade fishing for Atlantic Salmon and/or trout on the beautiful rivers in Northern Nova Scotia. 

​

So join me on a Stripers of the Strait Adventure. Whether you're a first timer or an experience angler, there’s no such thing as a bad day of fishing.
