    When a boat Captain really knows his stuff - it shows!

    Evening trip on July 7, 2026 • 2 adults

    Captain Derek was terrific! And his boat was amazing too! Our trip out onto Lake Ontario was delighful - he and his Mate Sarah worked hard to get the boat ready for serious fishing. I loved his set-ups and his his gear. The boat is really well-equipped for great fishing. Our day went well - pretty quiet at the start. But Captain Derek was tuned in to how deep we were fishing, changed out some of our lures - and went deeper. And the fish came in! We boated a beautiful big brown trout (huge) and three salmon (in the 15 Lb range), Just fantastic fun. We talked nonstop aboiut what he was doing and why. Talked about the fish and the lake. And then he fileted our catch and we went home very happy and satisfied. It was a beautifully run fishing trip. We would go out with him anytime. Wonderful.

    Highly recommend

    Full day on October 3, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    We had a great experience on our full-day trip! We went in without very high expectations, but the captain and crew absolutely delivered. He put us on some great king salmon, and we ended up with 9 total! The captain worked hard all day to keep us on the fish and made the entire trip a great experience. We had an awesome time and would definitely recommend booking with him!

    Best charter I’ll taken.

    Evening trip on May 27, 2026 • 6 adults

    Capt Derek and his co-captain Larry were super knowledgable and a great time to hang around with, not to mention the 8 monster lake trout we caught with their killer setup. Would recommend to anyone looking for good lake fishing. Will be back when up here again.

    Amazing Trip!!!

    Half Day Trip - 12:00 PM on May 3, 2024 • 2 adults

    Captain Derek is a great captain to have for a fishing trip. It was our first time fishing on Lake Ontario and boy, Captain Derek nor the lake disappointed us. His boat is spacious and equipment used top of the line. We caught salmon and lake trout that were easily over 11 lbs. Had a blast of a good time with great tunes and conversation with Captain Derek. I would highly recommend Chasin” Silver Charter for your next fishing adventure!!

    Happy 60 th birthday

    Half Day Trip - 12:00 PM on July 5, 2024 • 4 adults

    Booked for my husband’s birthday— 85 and sunny weather. There were 4 of us total. Nice boat with tons of gear—clean with bathroom and covered area to get out of the sun. Captain was great— professional, no foul language, friendly— especially when the last fish hit late in the trip and we were 40 minutes past our time!

    Half Day Trip w/Chasin Silvers

    Half Day Trip on July 18, 2023

    We had a great trip with Derek. This was a boys fishing trip with myself, 2 sons and grandson. Captain was very professional, ready to go when we arrived at the dock, he worked hard changing presentations and locations to put us on fish. Total catch was 15, we released 8. Boat was very comfortable for our party and all equipment was new, no equipment issues. We would charter with him again in the future.

Capt. Derek runs trips out of Rochester aboard a 27' Baha Cruiser. These waters are known for Salmon and Trout and he will show you how to catch them. With years of experience, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!
