Private halfday fishing adventure on Lake Ontario watersTarget walleye, pike, and bass with expert guidance providedAccommodates up to 4 guests aboard 21foot Grand Islander
Nothing beats the feeling of your rod bending with a solid fish on the line, especially when you're cruising the legendary waters of Lake Ontario. This private charter puts you and up to three fishing buddies aboard our reliable 21-foot Grand Islander for a half-day adventure that hits all the right notes. Whether you're chasing your personal best walleye or just want to escape the daily grind with some quality time on the water, we've got the local knowledge and gear to make it happen. The best part? It's your trip, your pace, and your catch.
Your day starts when we push off from the dock with everything prepped and ready to fish. The Grand Islander handles Lake Ontario's conditions like a champ, giving you a stable platform whether we're drifting structure or working the deeper channels. You'll have access to top-shelf rods, reels, and tackle that's specifically chosen for what's biting in these waters. The beauty of a private charter means we can adjust our strategy on the fly – if the walleye are being finicky in one spot, we've got backup locations that consistently produce fish. Lake Ontario's got this amazing mix of rocky drop-offs, weed lines, and deeper basins that hold different species throughout the day. The scenery doesn't hurt either, with shoreline views that remind you why fishing beats sitting in traffic any day of the week.
Lake Ontario fishing is all about reading the water and matching your approach to what the fish want. We'll typically start by checking the electronics to locate schools and structure, then set up based on what we're seeing down there. For walleye, we often work with bottom bouncers and crawler harnesses along the drop-offs, or switch to jigging presentations when they're holding tight to structure. Pike fishing might have us throwing spoons or working the weed edges with spinners, while bass respond well to both live bait presentations and artificial lures depending on the season. The boat comes equipped with downriggers, planer boards, and a full spread of rods so we can cover multiple depths and areas simultaneously. All tackle, bait, and lures are included – you just need to bring yourself and maybe a cooler for your catch. The fish finder and GPS keep us on the productive spots, and with four decades of experience on these waters, we know where to find fish when others are struggling.

Walleye are the crown jewel of Lake Ontario fishing, and for good reason. These golden beauties average 2-4 pounds but can push well over 6 pounds if you hit the right spots at the right time. Spring and fall are absolutely prime for walleye, when they move shallow and feed aggressively. During summer, they retreat to deeper, cooler water along the thermocline, usually between 40-80 feet. What makes walleye so special is their incredible table fare – there's simply no better eating fish in these waters. They're also challenging enough to keep experienced anglers engaged while being forgiving enough for newcomers to the sport. The way a walleye fights is distinctive too – that steady, head-shaking battle that tells you exactly what you've got on before you even see the fish. Lake Ontario's walleye population is healthy and well-managed, meaning you've got a real shot at both quantity and quality on any given trip.
Northern pike add serious excitement to any Lake Ontario fishing trip, especially when they come out of nowhere to slam your lure. These toothy predators can stretch well over 30 inches and provide some of the most explosive strikes you'll experience on the lake. Pike love the weed lines and shallow bays during spring and early summer, then move to deeper structure as water temperatures climb. What anglers love about pike is their pure aggression – they'll hit spoons, spinners, and live bait with reckless abandon. The fight is completely different from walleye too, with powerful runs and aerial displays that'll get your heart pumping. Pike are also excellent indicators of ecosystem health, and Lake Ontario's population has been steadily improving over the past decade. They're catch-and-release friendly when handled properly, though smaller ones make decent table fare if you don't mind dealing with the Y-bones.
Smallmouth and largemouth bass round out the primary targets, and both species offer world-class fishing in Lake Ontario's diverse habitat. Smallmouth bass are the scrappiers of the bunch, typically running 2-4 pounds but fighting like fish twice their size. They love rocky structure, drop-offs, and current breaks where they can ambush baitfish. Summer is prime time for smallies, when they're active in 15-30 feet of water and readily hit everything from tubes to topwater lures. Largemouth bass prefer the weedier bays and protected areas, growing fat on the abundant forage. Both bass species are incredibly fun on light tackle, and Lake Ontario's clear water means you can often watch the entire fight unfold. The bass fishing here flies under the radar compared to some of the more famous lakes, but that just means more fish for us and less crowded waters.
Lake Ontario delivers consistent fishing action from spring through fall, with each season offering its own unique opportunities. This private charter format gives you the flexibility to target what's hot while enjoying personalized instruction and prime fishing spots without the crowds. The 4-5 hour timeframe hits the sweet spot – long enough to explore multiple areas and techniques, but
