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.

It's been a great season so far with kids catching some beautiful fish being the highlight. It's never too early to introduce kids to the sport of fishing. It teaches then so many things. Patience, respect for the outdoors, and so much more. I love answering all their questions and the smiles on their faces after landing a fish.

Aboard our boat, we have had people of all ages spend a day on the water with us. Kids as young as 6yrs old all the way up to adults in their 90's have battled and landed salmon and trout and enjoyed the calm in-between fish, and the exciting chaos when we have multiple fish on at once. Book a day on the water with us and experience everything Lake Ontario has to offer.

Big Fish and Big Smiles

Lots of big fish and big smiles aboard the boat as stagging mature chinooks and plenty of other salmon and trout have been hitting the deck. There is still time to book a trip before the season ends.

Cody and his sons Dillion and Elliot had a morning to remember fishing salmon on Lake Ontario. The day started with a double header of mature chinooks and we continued to pick away at them all morning long. We saved the best for last as our final fish of the morning wheighed in at just over 25lbs. A great morning creating memories that will last a lifetime.
