Wilson harbor has a fish with your name on it, so let Rust Belt Sport Fishing help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these waters, Captain Kyle knows them forwards and back.

These waters are known for King Salmon, Steelhead, Brown Trout, Atlantic Salmon, Lake Trout, and more – with any luck, you'll hook into a few!

Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself trolling with light tackle, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Rust Belt Sport Fishing welcomes kids aboard, so feel free to make a family day out of it! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Customers are encouraged to bring snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty stomach! No Bananas…lol!

You'll be fishing aboard a 33' Chris-Craft cruiser that holds up to 6 passengers. It has downriggers, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures and any necessary bait.

Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10–20% tip is customary.

Before coming aboard, you will be required to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group over the age of 16. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain.

Some essentials to bring are sunblock (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Your trip with Rust Belt Sport Fishing is just a click away, so why not make it happen?
