Fullday walleye fishing charter on Lake Ontario watersExpert guide provides techniques for trophysized walleye catchesAccommodates up to 12 guests for comprehensive fishing experience
Picture yourself out on Lake Ontario's massive waters at first light, trolling lines set and your rod suddenly bending with the weight of a solid walleye. That's exactly what you're signing up for with Guide Rob's 8-hour walleye charter. This isn't some rushed half-day trip where you're just getting warmed up when it's time to head back. We're talking about a proper full-day adventure where you'll have plenty of time to dial in the bite, cover serious water, and put some real fish in the boat. Lake Ontario is known throughout the Great Lakes region as a walleye factory, and Rob knows exactly where these fish hang out during different times of year.
When you book this charter, you're getting access to one of the most productive walleye fisheries in North America. Rob launches early – we're talking sunrise or even before – because that's when walleye are most active. The boat accommodates up to 12 anglers, so whether you're bringing the whole crew or joining other fishing enthusiasts, there's plenty of room to spread out and work the water properly. Lake Ontario stretches for miles in every direction, giving us endless structure to explore. Rob's been running these waters for years, so he knows the drop-offs, humps, and feeding areas where walleye congregate. Don't worry about bringing tackle – everything you need is provided, from rods and reels to terminal tackle and bait. Just bring yourself, some snacks since meals aren't included, and get ready to learn why this lake produces some of the best walleye fishing in the region.
Rob runs a trolling program that's dialed in for Lake Ontario walleye. We'll be pulling boards, running downriggers, and adjusting depths based on what the fish finder is showing us. The beauty of trolling is that it lets us cover water efficiently while keeping baits in the strike zone. Typical setups include diving crankbaits in walleye-favorite colors, crawler harnesses behind bottom bouncers, and spoons that mimic the baitfish these predators are feeding on. Rob will show you how to read your rod tip for strikes, when to set the hook, and proper fighting techniques to land fish without losing them at the boat. The electronics on board help us locate schools of baitfish and mark structure, but it's Rob's local knowledge that puts you on the productive spots. Water temperature, wind direction, and time of day all play into where we'll focus our efforts, and Rob adjusts the game plan throughout the day based on what the fish are telling us.
Lake Ontario walleye are the main attraction, and for good reason. These golden-sided fighters typically run anywhere from 15 to 25 inches, with plenty of keepers in the 18 to 22-inch range that make for excellent table fare. Walleye are known for their light-biting nature – they don't slam baits like bass or pike. Instead, you'll feel a subtle weight or see your rod tip dip slightly. That's when you need to lean into them and drive the hook home. Spring through fall offers consistent action, but late spring and early summer are prime time when these fish are actively feeding after the spawn. What makes walleye so sought-after isn't just their fighting ability, but their reputation as one of the best-eating freshwater fish around. Their flaky white meat is mild and delicious, making every fish you bring to the boat a potential dinner. The population in Lake Ontario is healthy and self-sustaining, meaning you're fishing over schools that have been producing quality catches for decades. Rob knows the seasonal patterns – where they move in spring, their summer haunts in deeper water, and fall feeding areas where they bulk up before winter.
This 8-hour charter gives you the full Lake Ontario experience without rushing through prime fishing time. While shorter trips barely scratch the surface, a full day lets you adapt to changing conditions, move spots if needed, and really get into a rhythm with the fish. Rob's local expertise combined with Lake Ontario's reputation as a world-class walleye destination makes this a top-rated choice for serious anglers. Whether you're a seasoned walleye hunter or someone looking to learn from one of the area's best guides, this trip delivers the goods. The boat handles up to 12 people, making it perfect for groups, corporate outings, or solo anglers who want to fish alongside other enthusiasts. Don't wait until peak season when dates fill up fast – Lake Ontario's walleye bite stays strong for months, and Rob's calendar books quickly once word gets out about recent catches. Secure your spot now and get ready to experience why anglers travel from across the country to fish these waters.

With room for 12 anglers, there's plenty of space to work the lines without crowding each other during the action. The onboard fish finder takes the guesswork out of locating walleye schools, while the GPS keeps you on productive structures and drop-offs.
