I went out with Captain Bob along with my two sons ages 8 and 6 and we had such a fantastic experience. Captain Bob was a wonderful host who was patient, friendly, and took the time to answer all of my boys’ many fishing questions. The boat was clean, comfortable, and perfect for a family outing.

My kids had such a great time that they could not stop talking about it for days afterward. It was definitely the highlight of their week. I would absolutely book with Captain Bob again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a fun and family friendly fishing trip.

We had an amazing fishing trip with Salmon Catcher Charters in Toronto! The boat was clean, comfortable, and perfectly set up for a great day on Lake Ontario.

Captain Bob is an outstanding professional – he knows the lake inside out, quickly finds the best spots, and makes fishing both exciting and easy to enjoy. Time with him flies by so fast, and you immediately want to come back for another trip. We enjoyed the beautiful views of Toronto from the water, and had a truly unforgettable experience.

Highly recommend Captain Bob and Salmon Catcher Charters – definitely a 5-star adventure!

Captain Bob was punctual to our 6 AM put-in at Humber Bay Lake Ontario.  Excellent new boat, a very sturdy and safe Hewescraft 20 foot aluminum vessel.  We talked about how it can handle rough weather better than his previous craft.  Our party was 3, just the right amount of room.  4 would be fine, as Bob states as the maximum.

Captain Bob fulfills a unique space for small groups/families who want to charter an intimate 6 hour fishing trip for a decent price.  I searched for others, but they require larger parties and more $.

Our party was lucky to catch 3 fish during a 6 hour charter.  A storm had just passed the day before and the barometer was high, so we had still waters and hot weather.  Captain Bob used his instruments and knowledge to find feeder schools to get us some action.

Captain Bob’s job is to keep you safe on the lake and do his best to catch you fish.  He’s not a showman.  If you are interested in what he’s doing while rigging the lines, just ask and he’ll explain.  He’s a “retired” Eastern European guy, so don’t expect a ton of chit chat.  He’s a very interesting guy who’s focused on his job on the boat.  His head is constantly on a swivel which I appreciated.  While trolling is slow and no bites, talk about his former careers as an electrician or IT guy.  He really made us laugh when he asked our 9 year old if he was bored.  Our kid said yes and Bob said he likes when kids are honest.  No BS.  Fishing can be boring, enjoy the experience.

In all, Bob can’t control if the fish are biting or if the weather is good, but you can trust him to do his best for a great experience.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Best value. I do a lot of fishing off the coast of NYC, NJ and Long Island and enjoyed a great four-hours excursion with Captain Bob on the Salmon Catcher boat. He is extremely skilled on the water and willing to teach about the art of fishing from the basics to more sophisticated topics such as understanding the use of advanced technology. Safety was a priority. The boat is brand new and felt very safe. It was really cool to see how Captain Bob hand crafted the installation of the boat’s essentials, such as the fish finder, sonar screen, electronic trolling engine (very eco friendly), rod holders, and more. We even got to reel in a fish on a slow day. Overall, I enjoy a great morning on the Salmon Catcher recommend to anyone interested in fishing this area.

At first, our family didn’t have big expectations—but it turned out to be super fun and exciting! Captain Bob was amazing—he answered every single question we had and even taught us some fishing skills. We caught a 22-pound salmon along with some smaller ones. It was tough getting the big one on the boat, but Captain Bob was a huge help!

It was our first time fishing on the lake, and the whole experience was just awesome. Plus, the view of Toronto from the boat was absolutely beautiful.

Huge thanks to Captain Bob!
