3 days on the Double-D!

Full Day Trip on July 11, 2024

Amazing best describes my 3 days of fishing with Captain Dan DeGeorge on the Double-D. We limited out before 9am each day. Not only was the fishing fast and furious, you'll not meet a harder working Captain who busts his butt to put his customers on the fish. Not only a hard worker but Capt. Dan also exhibits a great style and very personable demeanor, as well. See you next July, Captain Dan. Thanks much for the best 3 days of fishing I've enjoyed over my many years!

Best fishing on Lake Ontario!

Full Day Trip on July 10, 2023

Dan has been fishing the waters of Lake Ontario his entire life. He spends more time on the water than anyone I know and he always puts us on the fish. We’ve had several successful trips with Double D and have always caught more fish that we expected. His boat is equipped with only the very best downriggers, sonar equipment, rods, reels, and tackle. He keeps everything well maintained and clean. He is known and respected in the local guide community which means he is able to share information with other guides regarding water temperature, terminal tackle the fish might be hitting that day, and other key information to keep his customers dialed in. Dan knows how to target any species you prefer to catch, and will fillet your catch for you at the end of the day. I can’t recommend Double D Sportfishing enough! Just book a trip. You’ll be glad you did.

Fantastic Fishing for Four

VERIFIED

Full Day Trip on July 8, 2024

We had two great days and caught and released 36 fish, mostly 15-20 lbs. The boat and equipment was top notch a Dan seemed to know when to help or provide direction and when to just let us fish. He worked his tail off to get us big Kings and was fun to fish with. Our group has fished all over the world and this was in the top tier of fishing experiences.
