Matt Topp is your captain here at Topp Tier Charters and has been fishing the great lakes for over 20 years. He started at a young age fishing with his father, grandfather and uncle. The family had a campsite at Byng Park in Dunnville and every chance Matt had, he would be at the end of the dock with a fishing pole in hand. As he grew the passion never stopped on how much he enjoyed being on the water and fishing.
Matt now has decided that he wants to share the passion of fishing that he holds with others and give others the experience that comes with it.
