Hailing from the stunning shores of Vancouver Island, BC, Mati Davis has lived and breathed fishing for as long as she can remember. Growing up surrounded by passionate anglers and fueled by a deep love for the water, Mati’s journey into fishing began early. As a child, she would even skip school to spend her days casting lines in the river—a testament to her dedication and the joy fishing brings her.
For Mati, fishing is more than just a sport—it’s a way of life. She finds serenity on the ocean, where every moment feels like a blessing. Providing food for her family through her own hard work is deeply rewarding, and sharing this skill with her boys, is a legacy she’s proud to pass on.
Mati fishes across the waters of Vancouver Island, targeting chinook, coho, and sockeye salmon. Her favorite species to chase is spring salmon, as the thrill of the fight and the rush of adrenaline are truly unmatched.
A devoted fan of Gibbs Fishing gear, Mati has relied on their products throughout her fishing journey. The Gibbs Skinny G in Herring Aid is her ultimate must-have—never leaving the dock without it. It’s a lure that’s helped turn countless fishing trips into unforgettable adventures.
For Mati, fishing isn’t just about the catch; it’s about the memories, the tradition, and the connection to the water that fuels her passion every day.
