Meet Shawn, The Owner:
My first experience with fishing was in the early 80’s with my father fishing for trout on the Clyde River, Shelburne County. In my teenage years my step brothers and I enjoyed canoeing the Roseway River, fishing for trout, looking for turtles and really just enjoying the outdoors. It wasn’t until 2017 though that my true passion for fishing really grew when I met my wife and began bass fishing with her son. The time together and the bonding quickly turned from shore fishing, to purchasing a canoe then upgrading to a 18’ bass boat. Recreational fishing turned into tournament fishing and starting in 2018 it was clear I was hooked. Fishing also reunited me with an old high school friend. We began fishing together and doing tournaments together. I have made many friends in the fishing community and in 2020 took my fishing guides course and became a member of the Nova Scotia Guides Association. Currently I continue to recreational fish with family and friends and am still active in the tournament scene. I started “Get Hooked South Shore Guide Service” in 2020 with the hopes that I could provide a means for those to get out on the water, share memories and grow a passion for fishing as I did. Rather you’re new to fishing or a seasoned angler I look forward to hearing from you and helping you plan your next fishing adventure.
Thank you, Shawn Messenger

“My buddy and I went out for a day of fishing with GHSSGS. The guide, Shawn, was very knowledgeable, helpful and went out of his way to make sure we had a great experience. I caught my first chain pickerel and small mouth bass. We had a great time out on the water, learned lots and certainly will go again. Highly recommend Shawn and GHSSGS!!” ~Corey Doucette~

“Contacted GHSSGS via messenger about the possibility of my 17 year old son and his friend to go for a day of fishing. Their guide, Shawn, responded quickly and a date was set. The price was very reasonable considering there was 2 of them and the tour was for 6 hours! He chose a lake that would had a high probability of them catching something. The boys were very excited and they actually caught their first small mouth bass and chain pickerels. They returned home happy, tired and with more of a love of fishing. Shawn was very accommodating and according to the boys was very helpful … the boys loved their day on the water. I would highly recommend Shawn and GHSSGS!” ~Charlene Dunn~

“Shawn was very good about communicating with us about every aspect of our trip. He answered all my many questions, both before and during our excursion. He went above and beyond to pick us up and drop us off, so my hubby didn’t have to wait in the car while we fished. He patiently explained everything to my son, and was very easy going, but safe. Shawn gave us a great outing in the time frame that I requested and my son was able to land several small mouth bass. Made for a happy teen and Mom! We had a blast! I highly recommend setting up a trip with Shawn, you won’t regret it!” ~Caroline Peters~
