Scott Tarnoski, Captain at Kings Ransom Sportfishing

If you’ve never fished on Lake Ontario before and you’re ready to go for an exhilarating adventure, book a trip with Kings Ransom Sportfishing. Captain Scott Tarnoski works very hard to put you on the fish to make sure you end the trip with an abundant catch no matter what skill or level you’re in!

 

Captain Scott has years of solid experience in both saltwater and fresh. He feels truly blessed to have a family who introduce him to fishing before he could walk. Fly fishing mountain streams is one of his hobbies. Pulling drag screaming King Salmon over the rail is his job and he loves nothing more than introducing families to the joy of fishing, as well as hosting seasoned anglers.

 

He had passionately put together a very well-equipped vessel built for safety and fish catching abilities. Together with his team, they’ve carefully selected the best deckhands on the water to ensure that the time you spend on this trip would be the best possible experience you can have.


You'll hop on board a 31' Tiara open with all Garmin electronics and a toilet. It is powered by 2 350HP Mercury Engine and it cruises at 30 MPH.

 

Aim to catch different species on this trip such as Brown Trout, Steelhead Trout, Coho or King Salmon and more!

This trip can be as intense or relaxed as you like. Captain Scott is always grateful for all returning clients and can't wait to cultivate new and lasting relationships with new ones.

 

From the Captain: My love for fishing began at a very young age. Throughout the years, I always new that I would do this for a living. My passion to pass on my knowledge is what drives me. I want to give everyone the opportunity to make fishing a life changing event. The Lake Ontario region I call home offers world-class fishing opportunities for Salmon and Trout. I am not here to give boat rides, I'm here to have you come back year after year.

This is our 1st time fishing with The Kings Ransome But our 3rd different Lake Ontario port and charter boat captain. Captain Scott and mate Dan were highly knowledgeable and nice guys! Fun to fish with and relaxing and willing to show and explain the ropes to you. They came highly recommended by a fellow hunter/ fisherman & I see why 😀 We had a great time although the 1st day was spotty due to Mother Nature Which is why we learned early on to book at least a 2 day trip! We had a great experience and we will be back !! Thanks so much

Went with a crew of 5, Captain Scott really knows the Lake and brought us to where we could catch some fish. Dan the ship mate is definitely the best in the business. Dan was constantly busy working all day long to be certain we all caught our limit. Both these men really know their profession and know customer service. Very enjoyable time one hell of an experience. Our crew is already booked in August for our next trip.
