Best Captain out there!
8- hr. Full day adventure for 2 on September 12, 20262 adults

Captain Dan was nothing short of amazing, he put us on the fish and ensured we got our limit. More importantly Dan is a genuine and awesome person, he is definitely the kindest and most down to earth captian i’ve ever gone out with. If you are going up to Ontario booking with Captian Dan is a must. Awesome guy and definitely an awesome trip. Thanks again Dan, we’ll see you again soon!

First time salmon fishing!
6- hr half day adventure for 2 on September 11, 20262 adults

Did 6:00am trip 1/2 day. Captain & Mate were very friendly, and knowledgeable. They answered any questions and helped us when pulling in the fish. Pictures were taken. We caught 3 big salmon, and Lake Trout. We had a great time, and highly recommend this duo. Thanks so much for an awesome experience we had always wanted to try. We will be back again.

Great trip!
6- hr half day adventure for 2 on October 7, 20252 adults

We arrived at the dock to find it clean and well maintained. The Captain came to greet us and I knew it was going to be a good day. Both he and his first mate were pleasant, knowledgeable and just really good people. The boat was well maintained, stocked and the perfect size for a party of 2. Our trip was cut a bit short due to rain but we did catch fish. The cherry on top of our trip was how the captain narrated different facts and interesting information about the lake, islands, and fish/wildlife. His enthusiasm for fishing and nature showed just how much Henderson means to him. I can't wait to go back.

Awesome Fishing Trip
8- hr. Full day adventure for 2 on October 4, 20252 adults

My 15 year old brother and I took a fishing trip with Captain Dan and his 1st mate Tashia…and wow did we land a lot of fish! 17 fish in an 8 hour trip! 2 nice size Walleye and 15 bass, many of the bass weighing 3-4 lbs! Captain Dan was extremely knowledgeable and very familiar with some prime fishing spots on Lake Ontario and while numerous other boats were struggling to land fish, Captain Dan helped us bag and land some monsters, including a 29” Walleye! Besides the spectacular fishing, cruising around Lake Ontario and having a lot of laughs with Captain Dan and Tashia was also a highlight…I can’t recommend them enough!!!

Excellent fishing trip
5-hr evening adventure for 2 on June 13, 20262 adults

The overall fishing experience was great! We were slow to catch fish at first but Dan and his first mate made sure we caught what we were after. The captain and Tasha were great to spend the day with and made us very comfortable. Dan was full of information on Lake Ontario and answered all of our questions. We highly recommend Dan and his charter for a small group!! We will certainly be reaching out to him to book again.
