What anglers said about fishing in Lake Ontario

Be prepared for varying water levels especially during low water periods. It can be difficult to navigate the river with a boat during those periods.

Easy channel to leave from. We were fishing literally in minutes after we left the dock. The marina was easy to find.

It takes time but you will have you day to shine. Today I had mine. It took 10 years to land a king. Now I feel like one.

The wind out on the river is pretty cold in October but that doesnโ€™t stop the fish from biting.

We actually went to Oswego to chase the fish, so Jared's knowledge and flexibility really helped. The salmon run is a little slow due to the lingering heat right now.

If youโ€™re in the shallows, smallmouth and largemouth bass will eat anything you can put in front of them (top water included) If youโ€™re somewhere between 14-35ft deep, walleye are getting to their peak season.

Consider a guide in the fall. The fish are spread out and itโ€™s a large body of water. Iโ€™m an experienced angler but only had success on one out of many shore fishing experiences.

Just be prepared to have fun catching Salmon or Lake trout Make sure to check the review for the Captain and boats. I have been going to Ontario Lake for the last 13 years, and the last Captain, Joe Demarco, whom I used for the last 12 trips, sold his boat and recommended Steve Coby to me. You won't be disappointed. His boat is named Chance Of a Lifetime Charter you and your family and friends won't be disappointed.

The area has many seasons targeting different species but from what Iโ€™ve seen, itโ€™s a top tier fishery for trout and salmon and any David angler should try to get out on the water here.

Go with Captain Thomas Pearse! But bring some extra storage bags if you want to split up the fish once they are done...bring a cooler to bring home fish in...our Captain had ice for us to put in our cooler, but we brought packs just in case they didn't. Don't forget your fishing license. Plan ahead on knowing what the weather would be like. We knew there would be rain, but our Captain was on top of the pattern and we stayed clear of it. Be ready to have fun.

Zach's bass boat is not for children, and for anyone not ready to fish. He doesn't have toilet facilities so the boat would have to return to the dock for bathroom breaks for women.

Book several days as the weather is always changing. While most will want to fish for only the big Kings, take the opportunity to try to catch all the other species first as they are beautiful fish and great to eat.
