If you are looking for a fishing trip that you will remember for the rest of your life, join Captain Dave and his Reel Silver Charters. They specialize in introducing their clients to the mighty Lake Ontario and putting them on top of the hottest bite.

Explore some of the finest freshwater angling opportunities available anywhere in the world. You can hone your angling skills, try a new technique or two, and fill the cooler with some incredible catches.

The season begins in the middle of April and goes through September. Their spring starts with lots of Brown Trout with a few other species mixed in. June and early July are all about large Lake Trout with a few Steelhead, Salmon, and Brown Trout mixed in. From mid-July and on, you can expect to concentrate on Salmon only.

If it's Chinook or Coho Salmon, huge Brown Trout, Steelhead, Lake Trout, or Walleye, you have come to the right place. Capt. Dave offers shorter adventures for those who don't have too much time and full-day charters for those who want to get the water all to themselves. He operates a 27' SportCraft that can handle up to 6 anglers and is loaded with the latest electronics and tackle.

Everything needed for trolling will be available for you to use. Just bring a valid fishing license and your choice of food and drinks.

    King Salmon Fishing with Captain Dave Silver

    Full Day Trip on August 29, 2020

    I have been taking friends and family over to Reel Silver Charters for the past 5 years and every trip is just a wonderful experience. Let me say first that Captain Dave is one of the best captains i have had the pleasure of fishing with. Captain Dave wants you to catch fish and works his butt off to make sure you do. When i talk to other people in and around the Pulaski area they all say the same thing and that is, when nobody else is catching fish Captain Dave is. He has a very comfortable boat and it is set up to fish. All his equipment is top line and always kept in perfect working order. Trust me you won't find a better captain to fish with. Book a trip you won't regret it.

    Full day.

    Full Day Trip on June 10, 2020

    I have been fishing with Capt. Dave 1-3 times a year for probably 10 years. Sometimes for BIG browns, sometimes for salmon. I have limited out EVERY time. Lately I have been bringing friend’s kids with me as I enjoy watching the excitement they have, especially when they catch a fish that is so big they need to ask for help reeling it in. Some of these kids are pretty young/small. Capt Dave is very patient helping them and explaining what they need to do.

    He knows the lake!!!

    on July 3, 2020

    I’m a avid fisherman and own my own boat but I make sure to book a few trips with Dave each season. He knows the lake better then any other charter I been with. He works very hard to get you on fish. Not just taking you for a boat ride. I highly recommend Dave.

    Half day trip

    Half Day Trip (AM) on July 3, 2019 • 5 adults

    We had a blast with Dave Silver! Very friendly, sharing stories( but all broken up by catching all the fish). We kept some fish and threw some back for next year, where we will definitely book Dave again. I would highly recommend Dave to everyone. Great Trip!!! ????

Great Morning Fishing
Half Day Trip (AM) on June 19, 2025 • 2 adults

The weather did not cooperate but Captain Dave found us an area we could troll and put us on fish. My son and I did not keep fish this trip but would have caught a limit of brown trout. Capt. Dave was great to fish with and showed us how it was done on Lake Ontario.
