    The best Trip and Captain ever!

    3/4 Dan Izlet (PM)3 adults

    The boat was incredibly well-equipped and comfortable — much better than we expected. It had everything we needed, including a working toilet on board, which was a huge plus for a full-day fishing excursion. The captain was excellent. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly very experienced. He knew exactly where to go, and we started catching fish almost immediately after leaving the dock. The action stayed strong from the beginning to the very end of the trip — we had a nonstop great time. What impressed me most was how quickly and professionally he filleted all our fish at the end of the day. If we return to the area, we will definitely book with this captain and boat again without hesitation. Excellent service, great boat, and fantastic fishing. Highly recommended from the bottom of my heart!

    Reported catch:

    Thank you so much for the review Maciej. It was a pleasure having you all on the boat. The winds were definitely in our favor being a nice calm day day on the water. Hope you enjoy the Blue Jays game and your trip to the Aquarium.

    Great Captain

    3/4 Dana Putovanje (AM)2 adults

    It was a little cold but Captain fixed us up..went to first spot and kinda slow for a bit but then he took us to deeper waters. At one point we had 4 fish on at same time. Caught our limit and we're back at Dock by 12.

    Reported catch:
    Chinook Salmon
    Response from Captain

    It was a pleasure having you and your wife on the boat Kevin. The weather and waves made it a bit difficult, but in the end we pulled it off with a nice box of fish. a little hectic when we had four fish on at once... but fun.

What's biting with FISH NV in St. Catharines

Probajte da upecate Rainbow Trout - njihova akrobacija u vazduhu pravi odličan šou kada ih zakačite. Ribolov na lososa je dobar kao i uvek.

Kids are the future of our sport.

jul 3, 2024 • St. Catharines
It's been a great season so far with kids catching some beautiful fish being the highlight. It's never too early to introduce kids to the sport of fishing. It teaches then so many things. Patience, respect for the outdoors, and so much more. I love answering all their questions and the smiles on their faces after landing a fish.

Fun For All Ages

jun 27, 2024 • St. Catharines
Aboard our boat, we have had people of all ages spend a day on the water with us. Kids as young as 6yrs old all the way up to adults in their 90's have battled and landed salmon and trout and enjoyed the calm in-between fish, and the exciting chaos when we have multiple fish on at once. Book a day on the water with us and experience everything Lake Ontario has to offer.

Lots of big fish and big smiles aboard the boat as stagging mature chinooks and plenty of other salmon and trout have been hitting the deck. There is still time to book a trip before the season ends.
