Congrats to one of my clients today on getting drafted by my hometown (and 2026 memorial cup champion) Kitchener Rangers. Going from the kid who needed the fighting belt, to the dude with the baby blue cowboy hat, to an OHL draft pick. Hope to see you between the pipes at the aud soon!

Fun Sunday with a 5 hour charter in the morning and a 4 hour in the evening. Morning was 15/15 with 1 rainbow, 2 coho, and 12 lake trout. Evening was 7/12 with all lake trout landed. Spoons were the ticket with my custom TNT Fishing Lures and a prototype Silver fox tackle taking most of the fish. The rainbow we cleaned had 10 junebugs in its stomach which I have never seen before.

Fun morning with solo client Ele. For the first hour, we couldn’t get our full set up out. It’s was steady action all morning going 15/20. 4 salmon including this tank 11lb coho, the rest were lake trout. Special note: body baits have sharp treble hooks and angry salmon like to share the hooks with you.

Solid 3 hours this morning going 10/11. 3 chinook and 8 lake trout. Silver fox tackle spoons, TNT Fishing Lures spoons, and Yaleye Fish Lures hooligan body baits were the winners today. I’ll add a video of a double header in the comments too.

We’re in the water! First boat in the marina this year. After helping some other club members do some work around the marina, dad and I went out for a little shakedown run. We stayed in shallow to see what we could find and also dial in the new Garmin. We found a couple lakers and almost had a small chinook salmon jump in the boat. Beautiful day today. Can’t wait to put more smiles on faces this season!

Getting ready to put the boat in the water this weekend and headed to Natural Sports - The Fishing Store to spool up a couple of my Shimano North America Fishing Tekota 600’s with this new Sunline “no flea” line in the 40lb test. We’ll see what it’s like in July and August when the fleas get bad on Lake Ontario.

After getting the new Garmin echomap ultra installed, I wasn’t totally satisfied with the transducer mount. It was tough for me to get the angle I needed and I didn’t like how flimsy it felt. One text to Ryan from RyTek Marine and he had me set up with a much better mount. Another local Ontario company supporting anglers and boaters worldwide. Thanks Ryan, I feel much better about my transducer mount and really like how I can adjust the angle to whatever I need

Just another reason to choose a properly trained and licensed charter or guide. Instead of hanging out with my family or going fishing, today I updated my Marine Basic First Aid. I had the pleasure of doing the course with 4 other charter captains and first mates. The ones who actually care, will always keep up to date on safety protocols and training, not just for our clients, but for ourselves too.
Only a couple more weeks until we are on the water!
