Spend the day with Rod Benders Sport Fishing and find out what the fishing in Point Breeze is all about! With Captain Gerald at the helm, you'll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide.

Depending on the season, you might hook into Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Lake Trout, Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), and who knows what else! On these trips, you can expect to troll using light or heavy tackle.

Capt. Gerald welcomes children aboard, so get 'em offline and onto the water! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Customers are encouraged to bring snacks to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!

Your trip begins aboard a 33' Tiara cruiser with space for 4 passengers. 2 additional passengers are welcome at an add-on price. It has downriggers and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures.

You'll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10–20% tip is customary.

Before coming aboard, it will be necessary to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain.

Don't forget to bring sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with Rod Benders Sport Fishing!

    Rookies to Anglers

    5 hour afternoon salmon trip on July 25, 2026 • 4 adults

    We had an amazing time fishing with Captain Kent and his wife. They’ve been doing this for over 20 years, and it shows. As complete rookies, we lost our first four fish, but thanks to their patient coaching and encouragement, we landed the next five. The highlight of the trip was a 26.2 pound king salmon, and we also caught a beautiful lake trout. At the end of the trip, they professionally filleted our catch and packaged everything in Ziploc bags, so it was easy to bring home. Their knowledge, professionalism, and friendly attitude made the experience unforgettable. If you’re looking for a great day on the water with a crew that truly cares, we highly recommend Captain Kent and his wife.

    Heck of an afternoon trip!

    5 hour afternoon salmon trip on August 16, 2026 • 3 adults

    The captain and first mate were great! They took time to show us the ropes and we had a great time. Caught some good salmon and trout even in the afternoon. 100% due to the captains knowledge and willingness to put in the work.

    Great time with my 2 sons

    5 hour afternoon salmon trip on July 20, 2025 • 3 adults

    Well what can I say, let’s start off by saying the fishing trip was awesome, the main reason was to spend time with my sons. The fishing was icing on the cake. Meeting up with Gerald and heading out to the lake started off great. Gerald has a ton of experience on Lake Ontario and fishing. The first mate was a very knowledgeable person and got things set every fast. The boat was great, Gerald did inform me before we went out the it might be a bumming ride, turn out to be nice. I was the first to catch a fish then my oldest and then my youngest landed one but it came off. Gerald knowledge of the lake kept us going over fish but they weren’t biting for some reason. That’s why they call it fishing and not catching. Over all it was a great experience and me and the boys had an awesome time. I will be setting up another fishing trip with Gerald later on. I highly recommend the Rod Benders boat for a great experience and a fun time. Looking forward another time out on the lake with the Captain and first mate of the Rod Benders fishing charter.

    We had a great day on the water! The weather was giving us fits, but we filled the cooler. I had never fished for salmon of any kind. So a great learning experience for me. 100% satisfied!!

    Amazing experience - highly recommend!

    4 hour trip on August 22, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    I booked the trip for my family of three, including my 9 year old. We have basically zero experience fishing except for catching small fish from a dock. Captain Gerry and First Mate Tara were incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and fun to be around. They made our first offshore fishing trip a truly memorable experience. We will definitely be rebooking again soon! I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested.

    8 Hour Trip – Salmon & Trout on August 10, 2025 • 4 adults

    We had an excellent full day charter onRod Bender charters. Beautiful boat well equipped and a hard working captian and first mate. Captian targeted king salmon as I asked and we caught some nice kings and steelhead, they really know their stuff and how to provide a good memorable trip, I highly recommend Rod Bender charters!

    Hard day to catch fish

    5 hour trip on September 6, 2025 • 4 adults

    Horrible day weather catching fish Mother Nature was cooperating . But both worked hard to find fish and to get them on the line. We ended up with fish at the end of the charter. Any day on the water is a good day! Had a great time !
