    Fishing with Joseph

    Half Day Morning Fishing โ€ข 2 adults

    We 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!!

    Reported catch:
    Smallmouth Bass
    Response from Captain

    Big thanks to you both for picking me for your fishing charter on the Niagara River. Enjoy the rest of your vacation, and I wish you safe travels home. Cheers Captain Joe Srouji

    Great fishing trip!

    Half Day Morning Fishing โ€ข 2 adults

    My 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!!

    Smallmouth Bass
    Afternoon session was spent in the river targeting smallmouth bass. Seasonal restrictions are catch and release only artificial lures only. Multiple double headers and even a triple header happened today. Despite high sun and heat the bite remained consistent.

    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.

What's biting with Giant Smallmouth Bass and Walleye in Buffalo

Rainbow Trout are the main act on Lake Erie, along with some Jumbo Perch. The Musky season usually closes by the end of the month, but you can still catch plenty of Lake and Brown Trout when fishing Lake Ontario.
