Make the most of your time in Niagara-on-the-Lake / Niagara region go fishing with Jig-M-Up Charters. Captain Mark will be your guide, so you'll benefit from his professional angling and coaching experience. This is real fishing! Learn to identify fish-holding structure, select the right lure(s) for the situation, set the hook, and land your fish.

Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), Salmon, Walleye, and more can be found in these waters, depending on when you go.

You'll target your catch by spinning, jigging, and bottom bouncing. We do offer center pin and fly fishing for the anglers who request this, but you may need to bring your own fly gear.

Anglers of all skill levels are welcome and will benefit from this experience. Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available; otherwise you should bring your own. Feel free to bring your own snacks to maintain your energy throughout the trip!

You'll be casting lines from an 18' Sportfishing with room for 4 passengers. It comes with everything you need for a productive day on the water.

Rods, reels, and tackle are ready for you, as well as lures. Live bait will be provided if required that day.

You are required to have a valid Ontario Fishing Licence. If fishing the Upper or Lower Niagara River, it is recommended to have both a valid New York State fishing License and a Valid Ontario Fishing License.

A few items to bring include sunglasses, a hat, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is not allowed.

How often would you rather be fishing? Go on and turn that daydream into a reality with Jig-M-Up Charters.

Incredible fishing with Captain Mark
8 Hour – Lake Trout Jigging on July 25, 2026

Captain Mark took my fishing skills to a whole new level. I came in hoping to learn advanced jigging techniques, and he refined every part of my approach. It's amazing how much of a difference the small details make. The fishing itself was an incredible experience, but the knowledge and skills I gained will stay with me for a lifetime. If you're serious about becoming a better angler and want to understand boat control, LiveScope fishing, and the finer points that consistently put fish in the boat, Captain Mark is the person to learn from. Thank you, Captain Mark, for an unforgettable day and an outstanding learning experience. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their fishing skills.

Great family fishing experience!!!
Smallmouth Niagara River Fall - 12:00 PM on October 4, 2026 • 4 adults

The fishing trip was a wonderful time with family. Captain Mark is very experieced, kind, caring and extremely knowledgeable about the waters and different types and ways to catch various species in Niagara. We pulled in some serious trophy sized smallmouth bass and my family never felt rushed or in danger. I highly recommnd booking him for your next charter while in the Niagara region. Thank you again Captain Mark!

Reported catch:
Smallmouth Bass

Thanks so much for the kind words. When you love what you do, you never work. Meeting great folks like you and the family makes my job that much more enjoyable. All the best and “tight lines” Captain Mark

Absolute blast of a time
Lake Trout Jigging on August 22, 2026 • 1 adult • 1 child

Captain Mark is fantastic! My son wanted an afternoon of fishing and he wanted to catch Walleye! Boy was he set for a treat. Captain Mark spent the time getting him prepared and confident followed with an amazing afternoon of consistent fishing. Before long we were catching walleye at a torrid pace and along the way Captain Mark taught him about conservation and responsible fishing. Without a doubt it made his summer. Highly recommend Captain Mark and his charter for anyone wanting to spend time fishing and learning the tricks of the trade.

Lake Trout Live-scope jiggin 4 hr on June 13, 2026

Booked the charter for both me and my wife and had a great time. Neither of us are experienced fishermen but we're both able to catch multiple good fish. Captain Mark did a good job teaching and getting my wife comfortable with casting techniques so she could get the most out of the day. Would recommend to anybody looking for a fun time out on the water!
