Are you ready to go on an awesome Salmon and Trout fishing trip? Then you need to book one with 716 SPORTFISHING today. Captain Matt and his crew will do everything they can to make sure you have an epic day of fishing. Capt. Matt loves seeing the smiles on people’s faces when they catch fish and he really enjoys when people become aware of the treasure they have in their own backyard. The unexpected fishing grounds are often the most fun to fish!
Hop on board and enjoy the comfortable 38’ Viking! This boat has a full walk-in cabin with a private bathroom, a kitchen, a couch, bed, and kitchen table. The deck of the boat is open, making room for you to enjoy the sun and fight fish. There is plenty of space here for all 6 anglers in your group to fish at the same time.
You’ll be targeting a range of fish during your trip, including Coho, Atlantic, and Chinook Salmon. The other species you’ll be going after are Brown, Lake, and Rainbow Trout. Whatever your skill level, there is a fish out here with your name on it!
Children older than 6 are welcome to come along on these trips and will have life vests provided for them. Any fish caught can be cleaned by the captain for you, so have a cooler waiting in the car that’s ready to take your catch home to be cooked.
Included in the price of the trip are top quality rods and reels from Shimano and Okuma. These won’t let you down when reeling in your first fish ever or even trophy catch.
You’ll need to purchase a NY State fishing license before the day of the trip. Feel free to bring along a small cooler of food and drinks for the day, too. Dress for the weather and pack a rain jacket or sun protection, and you’ll be ready for a great day of fishing.
Book a trip with 716 SPORTFISHING and you’ll soon see why so many customers come back to fish with Capt. Matt.

Full Day Trip on October 3, 2025 • 5 adults
Best charter fishing experience ever. Took our teenage grandsons on the trip and so happy we went with 716. The captain and crew worked their tails off and I can't say we were the only charter catching fish but I can say that two other charter captains called our boat to inquire if we were getting anything because the were not. Yes I believe we chose the best charter service. We went out the 1st week in October and specifically wanted to fish for salmon on Lake Ontario. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

Excellent crew and boat!!
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 23, 2025 • 3 adults
First time big lake fishing for me and my twin 20 year old sons. Captain Matt and Josh did a great job helping out 3 newbies to this kind of fishing. We didn't get a ton of bites, but we each caught a really big king salmon. Matt filleted and cleaned the fish. Overall it was a good trip. Highly recommend Matt and Josh for your fishing journey! Being from New England, the only thing I could see as a negative, is they're both Bill's fans, but we were able to overlook that! 🙂 They were both very friendly and entertaining!
Would definitely book with them again!
Thanks guys!

The best charter on Lake Ontario
Half Day Trip (AM) on April 18, 2025 • 3 adults • 1 child
The best experience that I have had with fishing charters, my kids had a blast with Matt and Josh, they felt very comfortable with them will reeling in the largest fish that they have ever had the chance to reel in. And of course I enjoyed waring myself out on reeling in some really nice trout! If you want an experience of a life time with the most professional charter then go with 716 sportsfishing, hands down the best choice!

Nephew caught his PB
Weekend half day on June 15, 2025 • 2 adults • 2 children
After a week of highly winds, the lake flipped. The day of the charter was perfect but all captains were trying to find the fish. Captain and first mate worked hard to put us on the fish. After many story’s and fisherman spirit, my 11 year old nephew hooked up on the long line 300 ft out. It was a 14 minute battle with a monster Coho that will never be forgotten. Thanks guys for a great charter!

August fishing trip
Half Day Trip (AM) on August 7, 2025 • 2 adults • 2 children
The trip we took with Capt. Matt and Josh on 716 fishing was fantastic! Our grandkids had such a great time and our grandson caught a 37 inch Atlantic salmon, probably 22 or 23 pounds. He was so excited both Matt and Josh or amiable personable and great with our grandkids. I would recommend 716 sport fishing to anyone thanks for a good day.
