Years on the Miramichi means Ernie reads the water like a book - tidal movement, temperature changes, current seams, and seasonal fish behavior. This is the kind of knowledge that puts you on fish consistently.
Ernie genuinely enjoys teaching new anglers. Kids, families, first-timers - everyone is welcome and everyone gets the same level of attention and patience on the boat.
All tackle is quality equipment, maintained and rigged for the conditions of the day. You're never fishing with worn-out or mismatched gear - everything is ready to perform.
Licensed, insured, certified, and a UGONB member. Safety gear aboard, weather monitoring throughout, and the trip gets rescheduled if conditions aren't right. No shortcuts.
