Blackjaw Bandit Sportfishing

Cast for rods into Lake Ontario for epic freshwater fishing aboard “Blackjaw Bandit Sportfishing”! Whether you’re a novice or a pro, Captain Jim Dennis gets you on top of Brown Trout, Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, and Rainbow Trout!

Your vessel for the day is a 33’ Trojan offshore sport fishing boat, ideal for 6 anglers who all want to fish at the same time. She’s decked out with the latest in GPS and Fish Finder technology and even has an onboard toilet so you won’t have to make any stops. The fishing platform is spacious enough for everyone to get it on the action and you’ll stay protected from the elements in the enclosed spaces.

Lake Ontario fishing is seasonal so your targets will vary based on the time of year. Head down in the early spring and it’s all about exploring those inshore waters for delicious and fun-to-catch Brown Trout. Once the waters warm up, you’ll head further out to go after delicious Chinook Salmon and Rainbow Trout.

Trolling is the name of the game on Capt. Jim’s trips and you’ll cover a large area thanks to the outriggers and downriggers. Make good use of the top-notch onboard tackle to reel in your limits!

Capt. Jim brings along a first mate who works hard to make sure you have a good time. He’ll also clean and bag your catch at the end of the trip for easy transport home. If you’re happy with how the trip goes, a 20% tip is customary.

Bring along any drinks and snacks you’d like to have on board and most importantly, don’t forget to pick up a New York State fishing license beforehand. Explore the “Lake of Shining Waters” with a talented crew aboard Blackjaw Bandit Sportfishing!

I've been fishing Lake Ontario since 1982 and in 1993, I decided to become a full-time Captain. I started working with C-Frog Charters and when it was time for Ed to retire, I took over the reins. Now my boys, have joined me in my passion and I'm proud to stay we've got three generations of fishing experience on Lake Ontario.
