For more than 18 years, I have proudly guided countless successful fishing trips on Lake Ontario. However, my passion for fishing began much earlier, as I have been casting lines here since childhood. Consequently, this lifelong dedication has allowed me to learn exactly what it takes to consistently catch fish day after day.
Because fishing is not just a hobby but my full-time career, I dedicate every ounce of effort toward making each trip memorable. In fact, I have worked alongside some of the best captains on Lake Ontario, and therefore, I have gained invaluable insights from their expertise.
