Background
I started fishing Lake Ontario when I was a child with my father. It turned into an addiction and passion. I now fish 7 days a week, 365 days a year. You won’t find another person who puts more time into catching fish than I do, and I say that with 100% confidence! I absolutely love trolling for Salmon and Trout on Lake Ontario and I do that as much as possible. When I’m not on running charters I’m always fishing for something somewhere.
