Background
Welcome to Smackdown Sportfishing - your gateway to the amazing and memorable experience of fishing for Salmon, Trout, Walleye, and other species on Lake Ontario, with custom fishing trips to Lake Erie/Huron. My name is Captain Vlad and I am inviting you to join me for trip of a lifetime fishing for salmon, trout and walleye. I am dedicated to providing my guests with unforgettable fishing adventure, making memories, putting smiles on their faces and fish in the boat! Should you wish, your catch will be cleaned and filleted to be cooked and served at the family dinner. I have been fishing since I was a child back in Ukraine. Though I am relatively new to Great Lakes and chartering, I am very enthusiastic and meticulous about the proper trip planning, execution and achieving results. This ensures, trip after trip, great success. All guests are automatically entered into the SCGFA Spring Salmon Derby, the GOSD Salmon Derby, and the SCGFA Fall Derby. Over the past seasons, I am proud to say that all I have won and shared over $10,000 in prizes with my guests. You will be fishing in a 26ft Albemarle 265 Fisherman Express, new for 2025 season! This boat is equipped with a very powerful 375HP Volvo Penta and a 9.9 HP Yamaha kicker. This boat is fully rigged for big water with latest electronics and it ensures a comfortable fishing experience. The charter service will cover various prime fishing locations of Lake Ontario. We generally start the season in the south shore of Lake Ontario, with trips departing from Port Dalhousie, until approximately late May. As the springs transitions into the summer, the trips will be done from Bluffers Park Marina until approximately early October. In the fall, we return to the south shore and fish from Port Dalhousie weather-permitting until the end of the season. Guests are asked to bring only their favorite snacks and drinks, fishing license. I will always call you the day before and advise on proper clothing as well for the upcoming trip. We have everything else on the boat including high-quality sunscreen that we use in our family. Whether seasoned anglers or novices eager to learn about Great Lakes fishing, I invite you to join me for an unforgettable fishing experience. Book your next adventure today and create lasting memories on the water!
