Phantom Sportfishing offers top service for fishing trips on Lake Ontario and Lake Erie.

Start your adventure with a guide who’s seen it all! Captain Franky started fishing in Italy when he was a kid and continued his journey around the world with a professional crew. He decided to settle in Canada and explore the beauty of The Great Lakes. Now, he’s ready to share some of this fishing magic with you.

You'll be fishing on a 34' Pursuit offshore fishing yacht, with full amenities for families and groups of up to 8 anglers. These include a bathroom, AC and a heated cabin. Brought down from Florida to give you a full offshore fishing experience, it's the only vessel of its kind on the north shore of Lake Ontario. Why settle for anything less?

Trolling is the best way to cover large portions of water and target larger species of fish that are sure to put a smile on your face when 500 feet of line spool off a reel. Go after Coho and Chinook Salmon, Walleye, or different types of Trout - Steelhead, Brown, and Lake.

The crew will cover your fishing equipment and clean the catch. You’ll need to purchase your fishing license and prepare some snacks and drinks.

Phantom Sportfishing will do the work - you do the reeling! Join them for your next day to remember!

Beautiful day!

Captain Frank and Josh did not disappoint. We went out and the boat ride was smooth. Weather was beautiful. We have no complaints except for something they have no control over. The fish didn't want to cooperate. We did catch one though so it wasn't a loss. We learned a lot about the rods, lines and lures. Watching the fish finder kept us entertained. Would definitely love to try again.

We chartered a morning trip for our brother’s bday. Everything was great. We are mostly fishing novices and Captain Steve was great at explaining how to reel in the salmon and trout we caught. Such a fun time. Highly highly recommended.

All around an amazing experience. Captain was very knowledgeable and an all around great guy. Would definitely recommend this to anyone with fishing skills or to someone with none. He help u out and explain how to bring the fish in and then put it in your hands to see if u could land it or not. It was a good time even know I couldn't land a fish,we still had landed a couple fish but was a good experience, would go back and do it again for sure thanks Captain Franky
