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.

Matt and Josh were great. Matt mentioned the fishing had been tough the last few weeks and him and Josh literally did everything...
