Meet Mat Urbanski, a seasoned angler with two decades of experience navigating the waters of both the east and west ends of Lake Ontario. As the proud owner and operator of "Bite Me Too Sportfishing", a thriving charter business based in Oakville, Ontario, Mat is a certified guide dedicated to sharing his passion for fishing with others.
Mat's love for the great outdoors and fishing is deeply rooted in his upbringing, where time spent on the water with family and friends left an indelible mark. Introduced to the world of angling by his grandfather and father at an early age, they became his first teachers, instilling in him not only a passion for the sport but also a profound respect for the fish.
Considered a steward of the remarkable fishery on the Great Lakes, Mat views his role as a privilege, allowing him to indulge in his love for fishing while sharing it with others. Committed to giving back, he actively participates in local salmon penning efforts, contributing to the preservation of the fishery for future generations.
Maintaining a close working relationship with the provincial Ministry of Natural Resources, Mat provides tangible evidence of conservation success through documented catches. Practicing "catch and release" whenever possible, he also donates tournament catches to local food banks, embodying his dedication to responsible and sustainable fishing practices.
As a certified guide, Mat finds immense reward in not only sharing his knowledge but also witnessing the excitement of others during the catch. For him, the thrill never diminishes; it only continues to grow with each expedition. "Let's go fishing!" he exclaims, inviting others to share in the joy of the sport.
When it comes to his preferred gear, Mat relies on a strategic combination of 4 blade Delta Inline flashers, with the Oki Kingfisher II being his go-to choice for Great Lakes Salmon and Trout. His favorite flasher patterns include Footloose, Glow Herring Aid, Black Onyx, and Casper Glow. Additionally, Mat achieves great success with the Gibbs Paddle in UV Lemon Lime Guide series and Herring Aid patterns. Paired with Rhys Davis Anchovy special teaser heads in various colors and never leaving home without his Rhys Davis Big Bite herring strips, Mat Urbanski is well-equipped to continue his passion for fishing and conservation.
