Captain Mike and Nick were friendly and super professional.  I would recommend their charter to anyone!

We took a trip to Ontario to fish for coldwater species with Captain Mikey after several successful trips with him on the Hudson river. Our goal was to try to learn some things about fishing deep water trout and salmon. In just 8 hours (really more like 10 since we just kept fishing and he wasn’t paying attention to the clock) we learned more about rigging, boat speed, techniques specific to each species Ontario holds then we could have in a year reading a book. From the time the sun came up to it was time to return to the dock he didn’t stop. We had constant action. When things slowed down, Mikey changed his approach and again we would hook up. We ended the day with a beautiful box full of fresh salmon. We caught several atlantics and a steelhead and they were put back to protect the resource. Most captains would have thrown them in the box.

Hands down, Mikey is a skilled captain, a phenomenal fisherman, great educator and a all around funny guy who makes the day on a boat go by in the blink of an eye. Our arms were tired and brains full to capacity. We have another trip planned for 2018 to further hone our skills in hopes that we could one day do it ourselves like Captain Mikey showed us.

Really appreciate the lessons, Mike. Thanks for a great unforgettable trip. Your fishing ethics are spot on and I highly respect your appreciation for the resource.

Perhaps the most important quality or trait of a charter captain is that he or she loves the job.  Mike is the perfect example of this.  Not only is he a skilled fisherman and USCG certified captain, he really enjoys hosting you and your party.  Even on a slow day (which is an extremely rare outlier aboard his vessels) he will never quit.  It pays off, because he regularly produces when others fail to.  Accomodations are great aboard either of his vessels and his tackle and equipment is second to none!  Did I mention he has auto-pilot?  This feature allows the captain to spend more time teaching and assisting the clients, ensuring a great trip.  If you have already fished with him on Lake Ontario I highly reccomend you book a striped bass trip in april/may.  Likewise, if you have been fortunate enough to see him whisper the big stripers into the spread by the dozens you really need to see him in action on Lake O!  To top it off he’ll even guide you river fishing to catch that salmon/trout of a lifetime. I’ve done it all.  Folks, you can’t go wrong here… when others are slow Mikey is kicking A because he goes the extra mile.  It’s not a question of if you should book…. just when you should.  He will treat you well and truly appreciates your business.  10/10 stars all day long, 11 on sundays.  I

I’ve been on two chartered trips with Mike on Lake Ontario and both times were a great success. He has quality equipment and a clean boat. Two things I look for in fishing out on the lake. It is also nice to have working facilities on the boat. I was able to learn quite a bit going out on these trips!

Also I have fished with mike for salmon on the DSR of the salmon river. Yet another time where my arms were too sore to move the next day.
