    Best possible experience

    Full Day Trip on June 28, 2025 • 2 adults

    Mike was excellent to work with. Our original date was a no-go because of really bad weather, and he was very flexible in rescheduling the trip. He paid great attention to conditions before the trip, and made decisions day-of that landed us some really phenomenal catches. It was obvious from the start that he is a professional. On top of being effective, he was very friendly and made his clients feel very welcome. We would highly recommend him, and our next charter adventure will be through him.

    Excellent Experience!

    Half Day on October 10, 2024 • 2 adults

    My husband and I did a half day charter with Mike at River Born Fishing Company on the Niagara River and it was overall an awesome experience. Mike was super informative and gave us a variety of options for fish species as well as opportunities to use different fishing methods. We each caught walleye and lake trout, and were able to take the walleye home - which he filleted and bagged for us! 10/10 would recommend!

    Mike was a great guide!

    Full Day Trip on September 7, 2024 • 2 adults

    I would like to state that Mike was an amazing guide. I have to state why I rated a 4/5. IThe weather did not cooperate. However, we rate Mike a 5/5. He tried very hard to accomodate us and was very flexible. He had great communication. He was interested in not just having us catch fish but teaching us how to catch the fish. He was friendly and made good conversation. We would definitely book with him again and hope the weather cooperates next time.

    Had a great time fishing

    Full Day Trip on October 26, 2024 • 4 adults

    My brothers and I went on the lower Niagra river today with Captain Mike. Despite the wind and cold, he still put us on the fish and was very personable and patient with us while targeting certain species. I would definitely recommend a trip with Mike.

    What a nice captain

    Full Day Trip on December 10, 2023 • 2 adults

    I met a captain who is serious about fishing after a long time. And I had an experience of catching all the famous trout in America. Most of all, the captain taught me how to fish very kindly, so I could make many fish I had the experience of catching. Highly recommended
