Reel 'Em In Fishing Charters invites you to explore the bountiful open waters of Georgian Bay. Any breed of anglers will be able to enjoy a successful fishing trip – all you have to do is book a trip!

The season begins in spring and goes through fall. April through May is the best time to get a healthy dose of Lake Trout and Rainbow Trout, while mid-fall is ideal for those who want to concentrate on Rainbows only. And finally, summer months are all about Salmon.

The company is located just minutes from the Blue Mountain Village and Collingwood. The Thornbury Marina and the Beaver River are also near.

Enjoy the clean water, the thrill of fishing, and the fresh air. Get ready for a good fight with the bays monsters and come back to shore with your very own 'catch of the day.'

All of that happens aboard a 21' Starcraft aluminum fishing boat. Fully refurbished in 2017, the vessel comes powered by a 140 HP Evinrude engine. There is plenty of space for up to 6 anglers onboard – if you are in town and want to throw a party but want it to be special, this boat is ideal for you. It is fully rigged with everything from livewells, iceboxes, and top-notch electronics to a porta potty, a fighting chair, and a sleeping area. All aboard!

You will be provided with everything you need for a productive day on the water. Just bring your snacks and drinks with you!

    Great Evening fishing

    3 Hour Trip (Evening) on May 26, 2025 • 3 adults

    I had the pleasure of fishing with Reel Em In fishing on Monday May 26. We hit perfect weather no wind no waves no rain. Don't let Dave's boat fool you it's safe and solid and equiped with everything needed for a comfortable trip. I'm a retired fishing guide myself so I know how difficult this job can be and Dave kept us busy and entertained the entire time PLUS put us on fish . We enjoyed the beautiful sunset across the bay and it was like we were in wilderness no other boats no distractions just Peace. Thanks Dave we are super satisfied got fish for the smoker and pictures forever Phillip, Alexis, Alex

    Thank you Capt. Dave!

    3 Hour Trip (Evening) on July 12, 2025 • 3 adults • 1 child

    We took the 4pm slot on a summer day quite hopeful of catching some fish. Unfortunately we returned empty handed(which is understandable). But noteworthy is Capt. Dave’s company, stories and a little bit of teaching us the basics of fishing. We were completely new to this art and he did install a yearning within us to learn more about it and so we did. We did our own bit of research and got into fishing by the river the very next day😃 Thank you Capt Dave a fun experience!

    Had a great outing with Captain Dave!

    4 Hour Trip (PM) on July 22, 2025 • 4 adults

    We were staying at Blue Mountain for a few days on vacation and my son and I booked a trip with Captain Dave. It was a great day. We hooked a nice big lake trout, but couldn't get it into the boat. Not for a lack of trying on Dave's part. The marina was only a few minutes from the resort at Blue Mountain. Would definitely do it again!

    The last minute wooper!

    3 Hour Trip (AM) on July 20, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Wow what an incredible evening on the water! This was our first sunset fishing trip and it was glorious. We caught a decent size lake trout and then Dave started to bring the rods in, and massive salmon was on the another rod. My husband had quite the time bringing her in but what a fish! The kids loved every second on the boat and Dave had all the knowledge and filleted the fish for us. I would highly recommend Dave!

    Great boat ride

    3 Hour Trip (Evening) on August 13, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 children

    It was a fun evening. Ride was exciting with 1.3m wave that the boat went over easily, kids loved the rocking of the boat and they always felt safe. The sunset was amazing. Captain Dave is an interesting person worth meeting and talking to. We also did learn about the region. We highly recommend him.

    Reel em in.

    7 Hour Trip (AM) on July 9, 2024 • 5 adults

    Water was choppy, but Dave allowed some of my party to go back to shore due to motion sickness. We immediately went back out and caught a 12 lb rainbow. Trolled some more and hooked a Lake trout that managed to get away. Awesome job Dave we really enjoyed the trip and enjoyed the meal the fish provided us. Thanks again.

    Dan is the Man

    4 Hour Trip (AM) on September 29, 2024 • 4 adults

    A true lover of fishing, Dan does the chatter because he really enjoys being out on the water and catching fish. Professional and down to earth. Our group of 4 caught 2 large Lake Trout in the afternoon. Fun times all around.

    Fishing with Captain Dave was a wonderful experience. Every part of the trip was entertaining from the hospitality to the catching of the fish! We caught a large trout which was great for eating. He was very knowledgeable in catching the fish. Overall, this was very fun and would recommend to others!

Fun trip with the family

Captain Dave is very friendly and knows his business. We had a really good time and the kids (6 and 12) had a blast reeling in big trouts!
