Last Pass Sport Fishing offers guided fishing trips on Lake Ontario out of Olcott, NY, led by Captain Don Schmigel. These trips are built for anglers who want a hands-on day on the water, whether you are brand new to fishing or have years of experience. Fishing here focuses on proven local methods, seasonal patterns, and a relaxed pace that keeps the trip enjoyable from start to finish.

Captain Don’s passion for fishing began early, spending time on the water with his dad and later fishing alongside cousins who were heavily involved in the sport starting in 2007. Fourteen years ago, he purchased his own boat and took the next step by earning his captain’s license. Today, he runs small group and private trips with a strong focus on teaching, patience, and creating positive memories, especially for kids and first-time anglers.

Trips with Last Pass Sport Fishing target Walleye, Perch, and Lake Trout depending on the season and conditions. Trolling is the primary method for Walleye and Lake Trout, allowing anglers to cover productive water and learn how these fish behave throughout the day. Perch fishing is done using live bait on light tackle, keeping things interactive and perfect for families or anglers who enjoy a more hands-on approach.

Lake Ontario provides a wide range of fishing opportunities throughout the year, from spring Lake Trout to fall action that keeps rods busy. Captain Don adjusts tactics based on weather, water temperature, and fish movement to give guests the best chance at success. He enjoys helping anglers learn new skills, gain confidence, and understand why certain setups work.

All trips are run at a comfortable pace with clear instruction and attention to safety. Guests are responsible for purchasing a valid fishing license before the trip. Whether your goal is learning the basics, spending quality time with family, or enjoying a productive day on Lake Ontario, Last Pass Sport Fishing delivers a straightforward, welcoming experience focused on good fishing and great time on the water.
