About Topp Tier Charters

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.

Jason Verbeke is a captain at Topp Tier Charters. He started fishing as a young toddler off the dock and bought his first boat before he could drive a car. His passion for fishing started in the Kawarthas at the family cottage but the 2 local great lakes Erie and Ontario provided endless opportunities for Walleye, Perch, Salmon and Trout. For the last 25 years Jason has focused on these 2 lakes putting in the time to maximize the catch.

Amazing experience talking with Matt while getting everything set up for our day on the water. We went out of port maitland with captain Jason who put us on the fish! We finished the day with 16 walleye in the cooler and smiles from ear to ear! Highly recommend. Can’t wait to get back out on the water for some fall perch.

Had the pleasure of enjoying a morning charter with Matt today. There were lots of laughs and fun as fish after fish were brought in! Matt went above and beyond to make sure fish made it into the boat. Making sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves was his top priority. This was definitely an experience that will never be forgotten by my fellow fishermen!

What an amazing bucket list walleye charter! I have hundreds of lours a big Lund and fish everywhere in Ontario. I have to say Captain Matt was amazing!! We laughed for hours. He put us on tones of fish and my wife and 10yr old daughter had an amazing time. Before you book with anyone else just talk with Matt. He has an amazing personality and really works hard. I’ve never seen lines set up so fast!! He even set us up in an air b&b right next door ! His boat is so comfortable and lake worthy and I’ve owned 32’ boats. He is the go to for many years to come! No longer bucket list, it’ll be an annual at least once per year if not 3! I’m from Georgian Bay Ontario.

Matt at Topp Tier Charters has broken the curse! We had a great time out on Lake Erie, brought in some delicious walleye and my son got to swim in the lake. All in all, a great morning out. Thanks Matt

Was finally able to get out for erie gold today after the last trip was postponed due to Mother Nature and her high winds. Captain Matt sent me message to let me know the bite was slow for his morning trip so we would try but no guarantee. Matt took us a spot where he has been successful in the past and witching 30 minute of leaving the dock we had two nice clean fish in the well. This was my step daughters first time going for walleye and she came in with a 5lb and 6lb for her two keepers. After we caught our limit we still had sone time so we tried for musky and rainbows but no such luck. Can’t wait until our perch trip end of September with guys in my wedding party. Thanks again matt
