Background
I have been fishing lake ontario and lake erie trolling for salmon ,trout ,and walleyes for 20 yrs now and decided to get my captains license becaue i enjoy fishing that much and enjoy seeing the excitement on peoples faces when they land that fish off a lifetime.It all started when i was a little kid fishing with my dad and his friends out on the big water and i have been hooked ever since .Then it went to a whole other level tournament fishing with my cousin on lake ontario .I liked the competition and hard work involved off catching and staying on fish to fill the cooler.
Techniques
My preferred methods off fishing are trolling.With the use off downriggers -dypsey divers -leadcores and copper line.
