Anthony Ellis, Captain at Redemption Charters

Redemption Charters, led by Captain Anthony Ellis, offers exciting fishing experiences on Lake Ontario from its base in Olcott, NY. Whether you're a novice angler, an experienced hand, or introducing your children to the joys of fishing, Redemption Charters caters to all.


Lake Ontario is a premier fishing destination, known for its diverse aquatic ecosystems and abundant populations of sought-after species such as King Salmon and Trout.


Captain Anthony Ellis, a retired firefighter and paramedic, brings decades of fishing passion and expertise to every trip. His lifelong love for fishing, starting at the age of 5, is evident in his dedication to providing memorable experiences for each customer. Assisted by his son, who serves as the first mate, Captain Ellis aims for the success and satisfaction of every angler on board.


Guests begin their fishing experiences aboard a 29’ Aquasport fishing boat, equipped with twin 350 HP engines for swift navigation to prime fishing locations. The boat's design ensures ample space for up to 6 passengers, offering a comfortable and enjoyable journey to the fishing grounds. With downriggers and outriggers in place, anglers troll behind, using dead bait to entice the sought-after fish species.


Lake Ontario is renowned for its superb Salmon fishing, and Captain Ellis specializes in targeting the prized King Salmon. Known for their robust fight and delectable flavor, these fish provide an intense challenge and a rewarding catch. As the reels screech with excitement, anglers spring into action, engaging in gripping battles with these formidable opponents.


In addition to Salmon, Redemption Charters offers opportunities for bottom fishing, targeting Trout and Steelhead in shallower waters. While not as large as Salmon, these species provide their own brand of action, putting anglers' skills and endurance to the test. At the conclusion of the trip, the crew expertly cleans and fillets the day's catch, ensuring guests can take home their bounty to enjoy fresh seafood meals. Guests need only bring an appropriate cooler to transport their fish home, leaving the rest to Redemption Charters.


With provisions for drinks and snacks, guests can maximize their enjoyment of the day-long outing with Redemption Charters. Whether seeking a challenging battle with King Salmon or a relaxing day on the water, Redemption Charters invites anglers to experience the exceptional fishing opportunities Lake Ontario has to offer.

Angling Excitement on Lake Ontario: A Thrilling Fishing Odyssey

Heading out on Lake Ontario for a day of fishing was just what we needed. It was a perfect August day, with partly cloudy skies and a light chance of rain - ideal conditions for targeting some of the lake's finest catches. My crew of three anglers and I met up bright and early at 5818 W Main St, eager to get on the water and see what the day had in store. As we launched the boat and started making our way out, I could feel the excitement building. Lake Ontario is known for its fantastic fishing, and we were determined to make the most of it. We started trolling and using some heavier tackle, hoping to hook into some big Chinook salmon. The fish were biting, and it wasn't long before one of my anglers had a solid hookup. After a spirited fight, we brought a beautiful Chinook salmon into the boat, the first of many we'd see that day. The action continued as we switched up our techniques, trying some deep-sea fishing and lighter tackle setups. Rainbow trout were hitting aggressively, and we had a blast reeling them in. Between the spectacular views of the lake and the steady stream of fish, it was shaping up to be an incredible trip. We kept at it, working different areas and adjusting our approach to find the most productive spots. By the time we wrapped up our 5-hour adventure, we had a cooler full of fantastic Lake Ontario catches and memories that will last a lifetime. This is what makes these trips so special - not just the thrill of the catch, but the camaraderie, the stunning natural surroundings, and the feeling of truly connecting with the outdoors. If you're looking to experience some of the best fishing Lake Ontario has to offer, I can't recommend the Lake Ontario Fishing Charter | 5 Hour Fishing Trip for 1 to 3 person - MAX 3 enough. Book your spot with Redemption Charters, and get ready for an unforgettable day on the water.
