Independent Guide
Shane has been chasing fish on Lake Ontario and Lake Erie since 1988 and stepped into the charter world in 1994. With decades on the water and deep roots in the Great Lakes fishing community, he brings an unmatched blend of experience, professionalism, and passion to every trip.

Over the years, Shane has worked extensively within the tackle industry as a sales consultant, product tester, and ambassador for several respected brands. He’s a familiar face at sportsmen’s shows, salmon schools, and local fishing clubs, delivering multiple seminars each year on Great Lakes techniques. His knowledge has been featured in fishing publications, and he’s earned multiple tournament wins across Lake Ontario and Lake Erie.

In 2008, Shane was invited to join the Fisheries Management Zone 20 Advisory Council, where he continues to serve—helping shape the future of the fishery he loves.

On the water, safety and professionalism are top priorities. Shane holds certifications as a Small Commercial Vessel Operator, Marine Emergency Duties, Marine First Aid, and Marine Radio Operator with DSC. He has also completed advanced boating courses through the Canadian Power Squadron.

Off the water, Shane is a husband and father of two, an active member of his community, and a Project Management Professional with a background in Geographic Information Systems and Aquaculture Technology. When he’s not guiding trips, he works with the City of Hamilton’s Public Works Department and stays involved in public speaking through Toastmasters.

Fishing with Shane means learning from someone who has dedicated his life to the Great Lakes—both on the water and behind the scenes.

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to thousands of quality, vetted fishing, hunting, and other outdoor sports guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.
We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.
Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!
In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.
Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.
After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
