Sixhour salmon fishing adventure in pristine Ontario watersExpert Captain Connor guides trips aboard wellequipped KINGSLAYER vesselMorning and evening departure options accommodate up to six guests
Captain Connor Ivanchuk knows where the big salmon hunt in Lake Ontario, and he's ready to put you on them during this epic 6-hour charter out of Bluffers Park. Whether you're an early bird who loves the morning bite or prefer the action-packed afternoon runs, this trip delivers serious salmon fishing in some of Ontario's most productive waters. The KINGSLAYER comes loaded with professional-grade gear and everything you need to land trophy fish, so all you need to bring is your appetite for adventure and maybe a cooler for your catch.
This isn't your typical weekend fishing trip - Captain Connor runs a tight ship focused on putting fish in the boat. You'll launch from Bluffers Park and head out into Lake Ontario's prime salmon zones where these silver bullets roam in massive schools. The morning trips capitalize on the early feed when salmon are aggressively chasing baitfish near the surface, while afternoon charters take advantage of the midday structure fishing and evening bite patterns. With space for up to 6 anglers, you've got plenty of room to spread out and work different areas of the boat without getting tangled up. The KINGSLAYER is rigged specifically for Great Lakes salmon fishing, with downriggers, planer boards, and all the terminal tackle you need to get your presentations down to where the fish are holding.
Captain Connor runs a combination of trolling techniques that have proven deadly on Lake Ontario salmon. You'll be working with downriggers to get your spoons and plugs down to the thermocline where these fish cruise, typically anywhere from 40 to 120 feet depending on water temperature and bait movement. The boat carries a full spread of proven lures including silver and copper spoons, flasher-fly combinations, and diving plugs that mimic the alewives and smelt these salmon feed on. Planer boards extend your spread and let you cover more water, especially when fish are scattered or spooky. All rods are matched to the technique - medium-heavy spinning setups for the boards and conventional reels on the rigger rods that can handle the long fights these salmon are famous for. Captain Connor reads the fish finder constantly and adjusts depth and speed based on what he's seeing, so you're always fishing where the action is hottest.
"By far the best fishing excursion ever. Captain Connor was excellent. We landed 5 large salmon and lost another 5 due to our anglers' inexperience. Can't wait to do this again" - Elio
Chinook Salmon are the kings of Lake Ontario and the main target on these charters. These bruisers average 15-25 pounds but can push well over 30, making them the ultimate trophy fish in these waters. They're most active during spring and fall migrations when they move closer to shore and feed heavily before spawning runs. What makes Chinooks so special is their raw power - once hooked, they'll strip line off your reel in blistering runs and jump completely out of the water trying to throw the hooks. The fight can last 20 minutes or more on heavy tackle, and there's nothing quite like the adrenaline rush of seeing a 25-pound silver torpedo explode on the surface.
Atlantic Salmon bring a different kind of excitement to Lake Ontario fishing. These acrobatic fighters are known for their spectacular aerial displays, often jumping multiple times during a single fight. They typically run smaller than Chinooks, averaging 8-15 pounds, but what they lack in size they make up for in pure athleticism. Atlantics have been making a strong comeback in Lake Ontario thanks to stocking programs, and they're becoming increasingly common catches. They prefer cooler water and often hold deeper than other salmon species, making them prime targets for downrigger fishing. Their silver sides and distinctive black spots make them easy to identify, and their firm, pink meat is considered some of the best eating among Great Lakes salmon.
Coho Salmon are the speed demons of the salmon world, known for their aggressive strikes and lightning-fast runs. These silver bullets typically range from 5-12 pounds and are incredibly fun to catch on lighter tackle. Cohos are notorious for their surface activity, often seen jumping and crashing baitfish schools, which makes for visual fishing that gets your heart pumping. They're particularly active during morning and evening hours when they move shallow to feed, making them perfect targets for both AM and PM trips. Their aggressive nature means they'll often hit lures that other salmon ignore, and they're known for absolutely crushing spoons and plugs with violent strikes that will nearly rip the rod out of your hands.
Lake Ontario's salmon fishing is world-class, and Captain Connor's local knowledge puts you on fish when others are struggling. These 6-hour trips give you serious time on the water to dial in the bite and put multiple fish in the boat, whether you choose the productive morning hours or the exciting afternoon action. The KINGSLAYER is equipped to handle everything from beginners looking to land their first salmon to experienced anglers chasing personal bests. With Bluffers Park's convenient location and the boat's proven track record for consistent catches, this is the salmon fishing trip that Toronto-area anglers have been waiting for. Don't wait until the prime season books up - secure your spot now and get ready for some of the best salmon fishing Ontario has to offer.
The KINGSLAYER is a solid 39-foot Sea Ray 390 Express Cruiser that's been working these Lake Ontario waters since 1987. This wide-beamed fishing machine gives you plenty of room to move around while battling those feisty salmon that cruise the depths off Bluffers Park. Captain Connor has this boat rigged right for serious fishing - fish finder to mark schools, GPS to hit the productive spots, and an icebox to keep your catch fresh and drinks cold. The onboard head means no cutting trips short, and the multimedia system keeps things lively between bites. At 14 feet wide, there's space for up to 6 anglers to spread out and work their lines without getting tangled up. Whether you're pulling cranks in the early morning bite or working the evening feed, this cruiser handles Lake Ontario's conditions with confidence. The roomy layout means everyone gets their shot at the hot rod when a big king salmon decides to make a run for deeper water.
Salmo SalarThe Atlantics in Ontario waters are typically stocked fish that put up an amazing fight once hooked. Running 8-12 pounds on average, they're built like silver bullets with that classic forked tail. Unlike their Pacific cousins, these salmon can survive spawning and grow larger with each cycle. They patrol open water but often cruise structure breaks and temperature lines where baitfish concentrate. Spring through fall offers the best action, especially during low-light periods when they're actively feeding. Guests love targeting them because they're absolute acrobats - jumps, runs, and aerial shows that'll test your equipment. Their pink meat rivals any restaurant salmon you've had. My go-to technique here is trolling spoons and plugs along the thermocline, usually 40-80 feet down depending on season.
Oncorhynchus TshawytschaKnown as Kings for good reason - these are the giants of the salmon world, averaging 12-20 pounds with some pushing 30+ in Lake Ontario. They're silver-sided with distinctive black spots and that telltale black mouth. Chinooks love deep, cold water and stay near bottom during the day, which is why we focus our trolling efforts 60-100 feet down using downriggers. Early morning and evening are prime time when they move up in the water column to feed. What makes them special? That bulldogging fight combined with some of the best table fare you'll find - that rich, orange meat is restaurant quality. Pro tip: when we hook into one, let the drag do the work. These fish have soft mouths, so steady pressure beats trying to horse them in.
Oncorhynchus KisutchSilver salmon are the athletes of the bunch - pound for pound, nothing fights harder or jumps higher than a fresh Coho. They'll typically run 8-12 pounds and can literally jump 6 feet out of the water when hooked. These fish love structure and often hang around near drop-offs, points, and anywhere baitfish gather. Their dark blue-green backs and bright silver sides make them beautiful fish, and that bright orange meat tastes fantastic. Peak season runs late summer through fall when they're actively feeding before their spawning run. What makes Coho fishing fun is their unpredictability - one minute you're fighting them deep, next they're dancing on the surface. Here's my local trick: when trolling for Coho, try running your lures a bit higher in the water column than you would for Kings. They're more aggressive and will chase baits up.
5.0 out of 5.0By far the best fishing excursion ever. Captain Connor was excellent. We landed 5 large salmon and lost another 5 due to our angle...
