Had a blast
Half Day Trip: Summer on August 21, 20255 adults

We caught plenty of fish and everyone had a great time. We caught some (in my opinion) big fish and we only missed one. The crew was friendly and helpful. We got an opportunity to test out our sea legs and learned some creative names for fishing equipment. All in all we had a fantastic time and now everyone won't stop asking me when we'll go again.

Reported catch:
Salmon
Rainbow Trout (Steelhead)

Top notch charter!
Half Day Trip: Summer on August 30, 20254 adults

I have fished with Captain Rich in the past and his charter service is fantastic! Unfortunately, on this trip we had real bad weather. He makes his clients safety and comfort a priority and canceled our trip. We certainly appreciated his decision and booked another weekend for next year.

Response from Captain

My clients safety is my first responsibility, if the weather is questionable, and we will not enjoy ourselves, I will not allow the trip to proceed. Unlike others that we saw go. I look fireard to seeing yoy and your crew next year!!!!

I had a Great Time with Capt. Rich DeMong!
Half Day Trip: Summer on September 3, 20241 adult

I took this charter with Capt. Rich partly because I wanted to learn as much as possible about salmon fishing Lake Ontario, as well as catch some salmon. Thanks to Capt. Rich I did! He was very generous in showing me and explaining all the different gear & tackle and techniques we used. We also did catch fish, but unfortunately didn't land any, but I don't blame him for that. Note: I didn't have access to the "head" as I thought I would, so you might want to check on that beforehand.

Reported catch:
Salmon
