What to Expect on the Water

Our day starts bright and early at 6:30 AM, so grab your coffee and let's hit the lake! We'll cruise out to some of Lake Ontario's prime fishing spots, where you'll have a chance to land walleye, smallmouth bass, northern pike, and yellow perch.

Techniques & Gear Rundown

We use a mix of trolling and casting techniques on our Lake Ontario charters, depending on what's biting and where. You might find yourself working a crankbait along the shoreline for smallmouth bass, or trolling deeper waters with downriggers for those trophy walleye. We provide all the gear you'll need, from rods and reels to lures and bait. Just bring your excitement and maybe a lucky hat! Don't worry if you're new to these methods – our guides are patient teachers and will have you fishing like a pro in no time.

Top Catches This Season

Lake Ontario's fishing scene is on fire right now! Anglers have been pulling in some monster walleye, with a few lucky folks landing fish over 10 pounds. The smallmouth bass action has been red-hot too, especially around rocky points and drop-offs. Northern pike have been giving anglers a run for their money, with some toothy critters pushing the 40-inch mark. And let's not forget about the tasty yellow perch – they might not be the biggest, but they're perfect for a fish fry!

Species You'll Want to Hook

Walleye: These golden-eyed beauties are the pride of Lake Ontario. They're most active during low light conditions, so our early morning start gives us a great shot at hooking into some big ones. Walleye love to hang out near bottom structure and can put up a great fight. Plus, they're delicious if you decide to keep a few for dinner!

Smallmouth Bass: Pound for pound, smallies are some of the hardest fighting fish in the lake. They love to hang around rocky areas and will smash lures with an aggression that'll have your heart racing. Fall is prime time for trophy smallmouth, as they bulk up for winter. Don't be surprised if you hook into a 5-pounder!

Northern Pike: These toothy predators are the wolves of Lake Ontario. Pike are ambush hunters, often lurking in weed beds waiting to pounce on their prey. When they hit, hold on tight! Their powerful runs and acrobatic jumps make them a favorite among anglers looking for an adrenaline rush. Just watch those teeth when unhooking them!

American Yellow Perch: Don't let their size fool you – yellow perch are a blast to catch and even better to eat. These scrappy little fighters often school up, so when you find them, it can be non-stop action. Kids especially love reeling in perch, and they're the perfect "gateway fish" to get newcomers hooked on fishing.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

There's something special about fishing Lake Ontario that keeps folks coming back year after year. Maybe it's the rush of battling a big smallmouth as it tries to wrap you around a boulder. Or the satisfying tug of a walleye hitting your lure in the early morning mist. Could be the stunning sunrises over the water, or the peaceful moments between catches when you're just soaking in the beauty of the lake. Whatever it is, one trip is rarely enough. Our guests often book their next adventure before we even hit the dock!

Learn more about the animals

American Yellow Perch

American yellow perch are the perfect fish for anglers of all skill levels. These golden-hued beauties usually run 7-10 inches, with anything over a pound considered a nice catch. You'll find them schooling up in weedy areas, often near docks or fallen trees. Spring and fall are prime seasons, but perch bite year-round - even through the ice. Light tackle is key - use 2-4 lb line and small hooks baited with worms or minnows. Perch are known for their light, tasty fillets, making them a favorite for the dinner table. They're not big fighters, but the fast action when you find a school more than makes up for it. Pro tip: if you catch one perch, drop your bait right back down. There's usually a whole school waiting below.

Northern Pike

Northern pike are the bulldogs of freshwater - all muscle and attitude. They average 2-3 feet but can top 4 feet in Lake Ontario. Look for them in cooler, weedy shallows near drop-offs. Early spring and fall are prime pike seasons when they're most active in shallow water. These predators will hit just about any lure that looks like an injured fish. Use a steel leader though, or those razor-sharp teeth will slice right through your line. Pike put up a heck of a fight and often leap clear out of the water. Anglers love the challenge and the chance at a real trophy fish. A local trick: try fishing with large, flashy spoons on overcast days. The flash imitates a wounded baitfish and can trigger some aggressive strikes.

Smallmouth Bass

The smallmouth bass, known for its fierce fight and agility, is one of the most sought-after freshwater game fish. Found in clear, rocky lakes and rivers, this species is recognized by its bronze to brown coloring and vertical bars on its sides. Smallmouth bass are powerful fighters, often leaping and diving when hooked, making them a favorite among anglers of all skill levels. They typically weigh 2–5 pounds, but trophy fish can exceed 7 pounds. On Toledo Bend and other prime waters, smallmouth bass are most active during early mornings and cooler seasons, offering an exciting challenge for any fishing trip.

Walleye

Walleye are one of the most popular freshwater game fish, celebrated for their excellent flavor and challenging catch. Recognized by their olive-gold coloring, sharp teeth, and reflective eyes, they thrive in cool, deep waters. Known for their subtle bite, walleye are often caught using trolling or drifting techniques, especially during dawn, dusk, or nighttime when they are most active.
