Come join Captain Justin aboard Over The Rail Sportfishing's 26 foot Penn Yan fishing machine! Whether you are an avid angler or it is your first time holding a pole, Captain Justin strives to provide you with a trip of a lifetime!

Start the adventure on a 26' Penn Yan 265 Pro Hunter equipped with an autopilot with kicker motor, Garmin GPS electronics, and Okuma gear. There's enough room for 6 anglers to join, so bring your loved ones with you. The boat features a cooler, navigational electronics, and a toilet for your convenience.

Trolling is the name of the game when it comes to Lake Ontario Trout and Salmon fishing. During the months of April and May, the primary targeted species is the Brown Trout and Lake Trout. These months provide excellent angling opportunities for world-class trophy caliber fish. The warming waters of the shorelines provide quick and consistent action for a range of species. It is not uncommon to catch Walleye, Northern Pike, Lake Trout, Smallmouth Bass, or Salmon while trolling in the spring.

As the season progresses and the water warms, the action during the month of June switches to Trophy Lake Trout as all anglers await the thermocline to set up and the Salmon to follow. From July, thru September the name of the game is Salmon. Trolling with large 'spreads' of rods, and using all the latest techniques and tackle, you will not have a shortage of King Salmon, Coho Salmon, Atlantic Salmon, and Steelhead.

In September the game changes to back bay fishing in the harbors around Henderson Harbor and Chaumont Bay for Northern Pike, Pickerel, Walleye, Smallmouth Bass and Yellow Perch!

Over The Rail Sportfishing looks forward to seeing you on the water making memories and providing you with a trip or catch of a lifetime!

    Outstanding Fishing Trip with Captain Justin

    4 Hour Trip Salmon / Trout (PM) on September 5, 2026 • 6 adults • 3 children

    We had an absolutely fantastic fishing trip with Captain Justin! From the moment we got on the boat, it was clear that he was extremely knowledgeable and experienced. He worked incredibly hard to put us on fish and was constantly adjusting rod setups, changing techniques, and making adjustments to give us the best chance at a successful day. We had three boys, all around 10 years old, with us, and they had an absolute blast reeling in King Salmon. Captain Justin was patient, friendly, and made sure everyone had a great experience. Seeing the boys’ excitement as they fought those big salmon was definitely the highlight of the trip! You can tell Captain Justin genuinely cares about his customers having a successful and memorable day on the water. He was knowledgeable, hardworking, friendly, and determined to put us on fish. We would highly recommend Captain Justin to anyone looking for a great fishing experience on Lake Ontario. We will definitely be fishing with him again!

    8 Hour Trip Salmon / Trout on June 24, 2026 • 5 adults

    We booked both a half-day and a full-day trip with Captain Justin at Over the Rail Sportsfishing, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. The half-day trip was a little slow, but that’s fishing, not the captain. What impressed us was that Justin never stopped working. Then on our full-day trip, we absolutely slammed the Lake Trout, and it was obvious why. I’ve never met a captain who knows the water, the fish, and their patterns as well as Justin. His work ethic is incredible. He was constantly adjusting, changing tactics, and doing whatever it took to keep us on fish. Watching him expertly manage 12 lines in the water for our group of five guys was impressive in itself. His skill, speed, professionalism, courtesy, and knowledge are second to none. He works incredibly hard from start to finish and genuinely wants his clients to have the best possible experience. Every one of us came away saying the same thing: if you’re looking for a charter captain who will outwork just about anyone and put you in the best position to catch fish, book Captain Justin. We all highly recommend him, and we’ll definitely be back!

    Great Experience!

    4 Hour Trip Salmon / Trout (PM) on May 23, 2026 • 6 adults

    We had an excellent experience with Over the Rails! Due to weather conditions, Justin actually recommended that we come early and head out on a different boat with a partner captain. He was very accommodating, helped us get the most out of the day before high winds and rain. The captain was very knowledgeable and put our entire party onto fish. Highly recommend, would definitely book again!

    Justin made our trip the trip of a lifetime. Timely, organized, sociable, knowledgeable, honorable are just a few of the words to describe him. His fishing experience was incredible and his ability to explain what he’s doing to put our group on the fish. Amazing captain, fisherman, and gentleman. Our group is going to make this a yearly trip with Over The Rail charter. Thank you again sir.

    6 Hour Trip Salmon / Trout (PM) on July 24, 2026 • 3 adults

    Justin and staff were unbelievable. Justin made it happen. Full boat of fish for two days straight. Very pleasurable including captain Mike. I am from south Forida and an advid fisherman for 50 plus years. The knowlege these two have for guiding was unsurpassable. Proven with 50 to 60 lbs of cleaned filets. Fantastic and highly recommend the both captians for beginners to experts. total 10 out of 10 score.
