Captain
Brent Bochek

Member since June 2018 St. Catharines, Canada

Background: Brent Bochek has been fishing on Lake Ontario for Salmon and Trout for more than 30 years. His experience and personality are a great combination for a fun-filled educational day on the water. As a featured seminar speaker at Boat, Fishing And Outdoor Shows, Brent enjoys passing on his knowledge. A day in the boat with him can be your own personal fishing seminar while catching fish.
Techniques: On Lake Ontario, its all trolling from spring to fall. Spring time trolling with Planer Boards in shallow water is key. As the season progresses, add Downriggers and Divers to the mix allows for covering the whole water collum in search of fish.

Moster Salmon Hits The Deck

Jul 23, 2023 St. Catharines

When Breanna booked a trip for Alex's birthday present, they had no idea how special of a day it would be. Shortly after 10am, the starboard rigger fired. We knew it was a good fish, and after a couple of strong runs and some fancy maneuvering to keep it out of the other lines, I was blessed to slip the net under it. It was when I went to hoist it into the boat, we realize the magnitude of the fish. 40" long with a 26" girth, weighing 30.36 lbs on my digital boat scale. Congratulations Alex, thats a heck of fish.

Fishing is hot

Jul 16, 2023 St. Catharines

The fishing has been excellent the past week and should stay good. Mixed bags of chinook and coho aalmon along with rainbow trout have been hittingbthe deck.

Fishing is heating up like the weather

Jun 17, 2023 St. Catharines

The fishing has been heating up with good catches of lake trout and Chinook salmon. As we approach July, the rainbows and cohos should start showing up in greater numbers providing lots of action.

3/4 Day Trip (AM)

Brent was very knowledgeable about the lake and fishing. He was set up nicely to do variety of depths fishing. We both caught big lake trout, nice rainbow, lost some salmon, and had a great time. Would go back if in the area.

It was a pleasure having you and Vanessa out on the boat. It took a while to find the fish but once we did it was fast and furious. Hope you enjoy the rest of your vacation.

Capt Brent put us right on the fish. As soon as he dropped lines we hooked tight up… We caught some huge lake trout and nice size salmon. Great trip and well worth it…

It was a pleasure having you and your son out on the boat. It was also nice that we were able to land four different species of fish for your son to cross off his list. Hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay here in Ontario.
