Brent loves teaching kids and newbies all the basics of angling and instilling them with a life-long passion for fishing. If you're a seasoned fisherman chasing a new personal best, even better! You'll get to learn the tips and tricks to hooking up the local beasts from a master like Capt. Brent.

    The best Trip and Captain ever!

    3/4 Day Trip (PM) on June 2, 2026 • 3 adults

    The boat was incredibly well-equipped and comfortable — much better than we expected. It had everything we needed, including a working toilet on board, which was a huge plus for a full-day fishing excursion. The captain was excellent. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly very experienced. He knew exactly where to go, and we started catching fish almost immediately after leaving the dock. The action stayed strong from the beginning to the very end of the trip — we had a nonstop great time. What impressed me most was how quickly and professionally he filleted all our fish at the end of the day. If we return to the area, we will definitely book with this captain and boat again without hesitation. Excellent service, great boat, and fantastic fishing. Highly recommended from the bottom of my heart!

    Great day on Lake Ontario

    3/4 Day Trip (AM) on July 27, 2024 • 4 adults

    Great day on the water with Brent. First fish was in the box before all the lines were out. Four people fishing was a little crowded (had to share a seat), but there was sufficient space. Brent provided sodas in a cooler. Fishing was great, with fairly consistent action. Started at 6, only a 10 minute or so ride to where he started putting out lines for trolling. By 10 AM or so we had 7 fish in the box (maybe 4 Chinook salmon, 2 large rainbow trout, and 1 lake trout around 14 lbs). A few shakers and a couple fish that came off. Two nice salmon in the 17 lb range and we decided that was enough. Brent left the lines out as he was cleaning the fish for us, and we caught another rainbow trout and another salmon, to round off the day at 11 big fish, more than I'd ever caught on a charter before. The day before, they'd caught a 25 pounder. We are returning home with small several coolers full of fish. Brent was accommodating to our requests to save carcasses for smoking, heads (we cut off the collars ourselves later), and bellies. Weather was gorgeous. Everything you could ask for in a fishing charter. Thanks, Brent!

    13th Birthday Trip

    3/4 Day Trip (AM) on June 20, 2024 • 2 adults • 1 child

    We went out on an excursion for my son's 13th birthday. There was a bit of rain early in the morning, so captain Brent reached out and we just delayed the trip by half an hour. Communication was great. The weather cleared up and it was a nice day after that. Fishing was so much fun. My son said it was above his expectations. We came home with our limit and had lots of fun reeling them in. Especially a couple of salmon that were around 15 lb. Captain Brent is very easy going and friendly. Definitely recommend.

    Best fishing experience ever!

    3/4 Day Trip (AM) on June 18, 2024 • 4 adults • 2 children

    We have booked lots of fishing trips for my son before, but this was our most favorite ever! We caught so many fish that we decided to end our trip early because our arms were so tired from reeling in all the fish! Captain Brent was a great guide and my 10 year old son loved all the information he learned about fishing on this trip. He described this day as one of his top 5 days of his life so far. Will definitely be memories he will never forget. Thanks captain Brent for the great trip!

    Fishing with Brent

    3/4 Day Trip (PM) on August 16, 2023 • 4 adults

    This is my second trip with Captain Brent, and there is a clear reason why this is my second trip. The big wind the day before our trip has completely blown away the salmon that was supposed to be in our fishing region; Captain Brent being an experienced angler has noticed it. Every time he spots fish on the fishing finder, he rushes to the down riggers and adjusts it to the exact depth of the fish. As a result, we managed to land 9 fish, 2 kings, 1 rainbow, and 6 lake trout. This is impressive compared to the other two charters that were fishing in the same area; which only landed 1/1 and 0/0. As an angler myself, I understand that we could've caught more if it wasn't the wind just like last time I was with Brent (16/40). I believe Captain Brent deserves this review for all the hard work he put into yesterday, and I will be pleased to go out for another trip next year.

    Big Fish

    3/4 Day Trip (AM) on July 5, 2025 • 2 adults

    Brent was very knowledgeable about the lake and fishing. He was set up nicely to do variety of depths fishing. We both caught big lake trout, nice rainbow, lost some salmon, and had a great time. Would go back if in the area.

Thank you so much for the review Maciej. It was a pleasure having you all on the boat. The winds were definitely in our favor being a nice calm day day on the water. Hope you enjoy the Blue Jays game and your trip to the Aquarium.

It was a pleasure having you and your wife on the boat Kevin. The weather and waves made it a bit difficult, but in the end we pulled it off with a nice box of fish. a little hectic when we had four fish on at once... but fun.
