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.

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.

Moster Salmon Hits The Deck
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.
