David Scipione

Member since October 2022 Lewiston, United States
Background
I've always loved to fish as far back as I can remember. My earliest memories as a child always included a net, fishing pole, and being somewhere near water! As an adult, I have never lost that incredible passion for fishing. The best part of becoming a charter captain for me is being able to share the knowledge I've gained over the years with others for entertainment AND educational purposes. Whether you are just looking to have a fun day of fishing on the water or you want to learn more about how to successfully fish our incredibly unique fishery, I am here to help you! There are not many other places on earth where freshwater fishing is this diverse and available 365 days a year! All within about 20 miles... we have two great lakes (Erie and Ontario) and two world-class rivers ( Upper and Lower Niagara). Year after year people come back because they just can't believe the size (and numbers) of freshwater fish we catch here in the Niagara region. And THAT my friends is what drives me to want to work in this business.
Techniques
If I HAD to choose a favorite method of fishing? I would have to say drift fishing the lower Niagara river. There is just something about having a med/light action rod in your hand while drifting down and enjoying the scenic beauty of the lower Niagara river when a walleye, bass, steelhead or other fish smashes your bait and starts screaming down (or up) the river! The most amazing part is, even after 30+ years, it just never gets old.
