Hello, Catmatt here. I have lived and fished on the Rock River for over 30 years. I love the river and the fish that dwell in it. Guiding is the highlight of the year for me…..Getting to see peoples reactions to there first cat….there biggest cat or there most cat’s is very, very rewarding. In a day it won’t be uncommon to go through pounds of shad, G and S cheese bait, mooneye or a variety of live baits depending on what species of catfish your after. I love Flatheads and most of my guiding is centered around them however Channel cats are very popular and we catch a ton of them as well. I am willing to do weekends, weekdays and/or night or day. I fish channel cats almost all winter as long as we can get on the river. Flatheads are usually a go from May through October.

       I run a G3 Gator Tough Jon powered by 90 horses of Yamaha power. The boat is very comfortable at over 18 feet and easily fishes 3-4 people comfortably. I will guide from 1 to 3 people at a time for an 8 hour trip you will never forget. Along the way we will discuss tips, tackle and techniques so when you return home the trip can help you become more efficient at catching cats on your home water.

     I have been fortunate to say the least with many Television appearances, our own radio show, lots of seminaring, a great website and more. But when it comes down to it, guiding takes the cake. For a great day on the water give me a call.Click Here for rates and more.
