7 Brimley Road South
Toronto, ON, Canada
Welcome to Smackdown Sportfishing - your gateway to the amazing and memorable experience fishing for Salmon, Trout, Walleye, and other species on Lake Ontario, Erie, and Huron.
My name is Captain Vlad and I am inviting you to join me for trip of a lifetime fishing for salmon, trout and walleye. I am dedicated to providing my guests with unforgettable fishing adventure, making memories, putting smiles on their faces and fish in the boat! Should you wish, your catch will be cleaned and filleted to be cooked and served at the family dinner.
You will be fishing in a 26ft Albemarle 265 Fisherman Express, new for 2025 season! This boat is equipped with a very powerful 375HP Volvo Penta and a 9.9 HP Yamaha kicker.
This boat is fully rigged for big water with latest electronics and it ensures a comfortable fishing experience.
Though I am relatively new to Great Lakes and chartering, I am very enthusiastic and meticulous about the proper trip planning, execution and achieving results. This ensures success, trip after trip, even on the toughest days on the lake.
All guests are automatically entered into the SCGFA Spring Salmon Derby, the GOSD Salmon Derby, and the SCGFA Fall Derby. Over the past seasons, I am proud to say that all I have won and shared over $10,000 in prizes with my guests.
Guests are asked to bring only their favorite snacks and drinks, fishing license. I will always call you the day before and advise on proper clothing as well for the upcoming trip. We have everything else on the boat including high-quality 60 SPF sunscreen that we use in our family.
Whether seasoned anglers or novices eager to learn about Great Lakes fishing, I invite you to join me for an unforgettable fishing experience. Book your next adventure today and create lasting memories on the water!

I want to express my huge gratitude to Vlad for organizing an unforgettable fishing experience! đ
Everything is top-notch â modern equipment that makes the process as comfortable and efficient as possible. But the most impressive thing is Vlad himself: during the entire fishing trip, he literally doesnât sit idle for a minute, always nearby, helping, guiding, and creating a great atmosphere.
You can feel that he truly puts his heart into what he does, and his main goal is to give clients amazing emotions, not just to make money. Iâve been fishing with Vlad twice, and both times it felt like a little celebration. All the friends I brought along were absolutely thrilled!
Vlad is the kind of person who turns fishing into a real adventure, and the memories last a long time. I wholeheartedly recommend him! đŁ

2nd time out, more to come!
Half Day Trip (AM) 5-6 hr (May-Oct) on July 15, 2025 ⢠3 adults
Just wrapped up my second trip with Captain Vlad, and it was even better than the first! We landed over a dozen big, hard-fighting fishânonstop action and an absolute blast from start to finish.
Captain Vlad continues to impress with his laid-back, friendly vibe that makes the whole experience enjoyable and stress-free. Heâs not only incredibly knowledgeable on the water, but also well-connected with other seasoned fishermen, which clearly plays a role in his consistent success.
If youâre looking for a captain who knows how to find fish, keep things fun, and create unforgettable memories, look no further. Iâm already looking forward to many more âSmackdown Fishingâ adventures with Captain Vlad!

Great First Time Experience !! Excellent Captain !!
Full Day Trip Noon 8 hrs (May-Oct) on July 20, 2025 ⢠1 adult
I had a great first time fishing experience in Lake Ontario and was able catch , both trout and King Salmon. Captain Vladislav Muravin is extremely skilled and knowledgeable in not just the core fishing activities but also the science and latest tech that goes into the same. He was very particular in ensuring I was able to reel in every fish and that I was happy and engaged, during entire trip.
I am looking forward towards a second trip with Captain Vlad and would recommend him to anyone looking for a safe and enjoyable experience.

SMACKDOWN!!!!!
Captain Vlad, Smackdown Sport fishing. We were out at the crack of dawn started slow but just like that fish were on! Captain Vlad made our experience joyful with professional knowledge, great stories, and all around great laughs. We have been out with many charters and Smackdown ( Captain Vlad ) by far was our favourite. If youâre looking for a reel family oriented Charter I would definitely recommend this charter.

Full Day Trip Morning 8hr (May-Oct) on April 24, 2025 ⢠2 adults
It wasnât the easiest day out on the waterâconditions made us work for itâbut every minute was worth it when we landed a stunning 15 lb King salmon! The sunrise over the lake was absolutely breathtaking, and Captain Vladâs boat was fully loaded with top-notch gear to give us the best chance at success.
Captain Vlad was professional, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what he does. His experience and calm attitude made the whole trip smooth and enjoyable. The boat setup was impressiveâclean, well-organized, and equipped for serious fishing.
Highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for an authentic and rewarding Lake Ontario fishing experience. Canât wait to be back!
