Lori Cecil5.0VerifiedFishing with Joseph
Half Day Morning Fishing • 2 adultsWe had an amazing time. Capt Joe was great. The communication with him before the trip was excellent and so was the conversations we had during our trip. He recommended things for us to do on our vacation to make it more memorable, and we took his advice. The fishing was so much fun and caught some really nice fish. We highly recommend using him if you want to have a good time and catch some fish!!

Walter Kichline5.0VerifiedGreat experience catching Walleye and Bass
Half Day Morning Fishing • 2 adultsWe had a good time with Captain Joe fishing the lower Niagara and Lake Ontario. We each caught more than a few nice sized fish. This was our first charter of any kind and it is definitely something we will do again. Joe made everything easy and had everything we needed.

Half Day Morning Fishing • 2 adults • 1 childCaptain Joe was amazing! Took my 11 year old son out on his first charter for some big fish and Anglers Edge did not disappoint! Captain Joe went above and beyond anything that I could have expected! He taught my son so much and we are already discussing booking again in July!

Sandy Ham4.0VerifiedNEWGreat fishing trip!
Half Day Morning Fishing • 2 adultsMy husband caught 8-10 smallmouth bass including one that weighed 5 lbs 6 oz. I was not able to bring a fish in although I hooked a couple. The technique Joe uses is very different than the way I am used to fishing. He tried very hard to explain but I just couldn't do it correctly. The trip was enjoyable and it is fun to say that we fished on Lake Ontario since we are from Texas!!

Excellent fishing continues in Lake Ontario. King Salmon and Lake Trout came to the boat today in big numbers. Surface temperature in the lake was 53.6 degrees. Winds were light out of the south which gave us calm water during our morning session. Fish are starting to push off deeper as waters warm.
