Half Day Trip on July 30, 20252 adults1 child

Our experience with Capt. Robert was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we stepped aboard, he made us feel welcome and ensured that everything was perfect for our day. The boat was clean, well-equipped, and comfortable, providing a great environment for both adults and kids. Capt Robert is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, with a colorful personality. He helped us learn new fishing techniques and shared exciting tips. My son and I had an unforgettable time, catching several impressive fish that we'll treasure forever. The excitement, the beautiful weather, and the stunning lake views made it a truly special adventure. This trip exceeded our expectations, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, relaxing, and memorable day outdoors with family. We can't wait to go back for another adventure!

Half Day Trip on July 21, 20244 adults1 child

This Charter was the absolute best experience for our family. It takes a good Captain to be able to provide a welcoming environment that allows children, teens & adults to all be able to learn, smile, feel safe & take in such a beautiful hobby in Canada. He has such profound knowledge & experience that I would go time and time again just to spend a few hours on Lake Ontario & to have a great morning fishing with Captain Robert. He allows everyone to have a chance to get the first touch on the real & teaches/guides us to the most adrenaline racing rush of catching big King Salmons. Yes we lost a couple but we still got 6 amazing keepers! He is a great role model for the young fishers! Thanks for being such a beautiful person. See you next summer! 🇨🇦⭐️🎣 Book with “Time off Charters” !!

First charter trip more than met expectations
Half Day Trip on June 26, 20242 adults

My grandson and I take one guided fishing trip each year, and this year decided to try the big waters and big fish of Lake Ontario. We chose Captain Robert of Time Off charters and were not disappointed. His knowledge of the lake and the proper techniques was clear from the start (5 am departure!). We hooked one before the second line was fully out and before the magic hour around dawn was done, we had hooked and lost the first 4 fish. Captain Robert was patient with us neophyte bass anglers for our technique was clearly lacking! But his clear explanations and demonstrations took hold, and we landed the next six, including two respectable Chinook (15-20 lb.) and a lovely Rainbow, over our 5-hour charter. Some we released and some we kept, and the Captain was excellent with fish care and getting our C and R's back in the water quickly. He certainly understands the role of charter fishing in keeping our fish populations healthy. On the way back in, he cleaned and filleted the keepers, including removal of all the tiny bones, at no extra cost. We couldn't have asked for more, and got more than we expected. It was an amazing day, and I would recommend Captain Robert to anyone.

Reported catch:
Coho Salmon
Chinook Salmon
Rainbow Trout (Steelhead)

Great time and a great morning. Enjoy the fish.
