Ever since he was a young boy, Captain Robert loved fishing. Growing up saltwater fishing off the coast of North Carolina, he got hooked before getting into Salmon fishing in 1987. With over 30 years of experience, it's fair to say that he's an expert in the sport, and wants to share his passion and skills with each and every customer.

    We had a great time with Captain Robert, who is very experienced and eager for his customers to catch fishes. His wide knowledge of the area is a huge advantage, and we were very happy with the amount of fishes we caught. We will do it again!

    thanks Gary. Your group did well in those 4/6 foot waves. Hopefully next year will be a little flatter water.

    Ceating Memories

    Half Day Trip • 3 adults • 1 child

    Our experience with Capt. Robert was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we stepped aboard, he made us feel welcome and ensured that everything was perfect for our day. The boat was clean, well-equipped, and comfortable, providing a great environment for both adults and kids. Capt Robert is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, with a colorful personality. He helped us learn new fishing techniques and shared exciting tips. My son and I had an unforgettable time, catching several impressive fish that we'll treasure forever. The excitement, the beautiful weather, and the stunning lake views made it a truly special adventure. This trip exceeded our expectations, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, relaxing, and memorable day outdoors with family. We can't wait to go back for another adventure!

What's biting with Time Off Charters in Newcastle

By October, the height of Newcastle's fishing season on Lake Ontario has passed. Some boats will keep running local trips, while others head east to the Bay of Quinte for trophy Walleye.
