Trip - (5 Guests) 8-Hour Salmon Fishing Charter - Lake Ontario on July 23, 2026

6:00 AM - 2:00 PM

Quit scrolling reviews and just book the trip with Captain Kyle. Our family took a 1/2 day trip for King Salmon and from beginning to end, Kyle and his first mate went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. From fishing knowledge and experience to how they interacted with my kids, I really cant say enough.

OMG we hammered the Walleye , triple and double headers! It would take me six trips to get this much walleye in my boat! And lots of gas🚤 Capt. Kyle is awesome!

Kyle was an absolute professional and had my group at our walleye limit in no time! He knows how to find them and is a great teacher and super nice guy.

A superb day on Lake Ontario! Captain Kyle and Riley were fantastic from start to finish. We landed three beautiful salmon weighing 15, 16, and 17.5 pounds. Not only was it my personal best freshwater fish at 8 kg, but it was also my very first salmon! The boat from Randy and 1st Choice Charters was excellent, the fishing equipment was top quality, and Kyle and Riley were incredibly friendly, professional, and clearly knew exactly what they were doing. 10/10 and I would def do it again, next time walleye and muskie fishing

We had the best morning fishing with Captain Kyle. The weather cooperated. The water was pretty calm and we started catching walleyes right away. A lot of laughs, good times with my 2 boys and we limited out by 10 am. Kyle explained so much to me and made it so enjoyable! We will definitely do this again!
