If you've never fished for Salmon before, then get ready to have your mind blown on a trip with Lake Ontario Fishing Charters! The fight of a Salmon has no comparison with any angling you have ever done, so you're in for an adrenaline rush, as well as a solid workout when going after these bad boys.

Captain Wayne McAndrew has been fishing the lake's waters for over two decades, and as a local, he's in the know of the hottest bite in the area. Your comfortable ride for the day is a 24' Thompson rigged with two 260 HP Mercruiser engines, more than capable of taking out up to 4 anglers to the most productive fishing grounds.

She's decked out with top-of-the-line fish finding equipment, has a toilet on board, as well as all rods, reels, and tackle you will need for snatching impressive sized fish. After the trip, the captain will clean the catch for you, so that you have it on the table in time for dinner.

The fishability of Lake Ontario is great from June all the way to the end of September, and depending on the season, you could go from 1-15 miles offshore to the most productive fishing grounds. Your prey for the day is Chinook (the King of Salmon) and Coho, as well as Brown Trout and Steelhead. Whether you choose a full-day or a half-day trip, you will have plenty of time on the water and Capt. Wayne will always go the extra mile to put you on the fish.

When you choose the date and duration of the trip, it's time to pick the best company. Come aboard with a few of your best friends and have a little contest to see who snatches the biggest catch for the day.

The captain also likes having families with kids aboard and showing them the angling basics like how to bait their hook and hold the rod. If you do come with your little ones, make sure to bring their favorite life vest, so that they're safe and sound while having fun.

Lake Ontario Fishing Charters invites you to an angling trip to remember in many years to come, so reserve your spot today!

    Great day on Lake Ontario with Captain Wayne!

    Half Day Trip on August 27, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    Had a great half day on the lake with Captain Wayne! My 12 year old son absolutely loves to fish and this was his first offshore trip. Captain Wayne taught him the ropes and kept things light with good conversation. Lost a tough fight to start the day and our prize got away. Our Captain wasn’t letting us leave without a catch though and we bagged 3 Coho Salmon on a slow troll back to Port. Big smiles all around, a fresh dinner on the plate, and more meals into the freezer. Highly recommend this charter!

    Captain Wayne was great 👍

    Half Day Trip on August 2, 2025 • 4 adults

    He was always concerned with how we could stand in the strong wind waves. We were obviously not experienced and he took good care of my family , helping us to setup everything and filleted the fishes we caught. Gladly recommend him to a great experience fishing 🎣

    Full day trip with captain wayne

    Full Day Trip on July 2, 2022 • 2 adults

    Capt Wayne was very helpful to answer all my questions as a new salmon fishermen. Very professional. He works with 3-4 other Captains to ensure he is getting you and your buddy's on to the fish. He worked very hard always changing gear with the changing conditions and. My buddy and I had a blast catching big salmon. Highly recommend captain wayne to any one. As an avid fisherman myself I really appreciated the hard work and knowledge Wayne has for the sport. 10/10 in my books. Thanks captain Wayne

    Half day evening trip with captain Wayne

    Half Day Trip on August 20, 2023 • 4 adults

    Very nice captain. The 24’ Thompson has high gunnels so we felt very safe but I fear that rough seas would be tough to take in a 24 footer. Very experienced fisherman with good gear. Thanks for the day Captain Wayne!

    8 hour trip with Wayne

    Full Day Trip on August 29, 2021 • 4 adults

    Excellent experienced guide, all the equipment needed to find the fish and get it in the boat. Older boat but the fish is just as good as the other guys, nice rods and reels with good line, didn't break any in 23 hard bites in a short time. Wayne knows his lake and he's awesome at teaching us everything we needed to know about catching salmon. Oh and we got our limit in nice rainbow trout also!
