Our Story

Field-Tested Gear. Built by Guides. Trusted by Anglers.

At Out of Blue Marine Sales, we’re more than just a store — we’re anglers who live the lifestyle and know the lakes.


Founded by professional guide Eric Melvin, we’re on a
mission to make choosing the right fishing gear simple and stress-free. With over 10 years of experience guiding across 70+ lakes in Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario, we’ve seen firsthand what works — and what doesn’t — in real-world conditions.

We started this store because we were tired of seeing fellow anglers waste time and money on equipment that couldn’t handle the cold, current, or chaos of a real trip. That’s why we only stock products that we’d personally use, and often have used on guiding trips. From sonar systems and trolling motors to mounts and cold-weather gear, everything here is field-vetted, not fluff.

Whether you're fishing from a kayak on a hidden river or navigating a deep-V on Lake of the Woods, our gear is built for the job.
