With strong winds forecast for Saturday and Sunday, I combined two groups for Friday, and it turned into an outstanding day on the water.

Dave Zangari of Just One More Charters and I worked together throughout the day, making a move that truly paid off. Rather than competing with the fleet for the same troll, we trusted our instincts, thought strategically, and found open water to work. Great call, Dave.

The action was exceptional, with more than 20 rods firing throughout the day and king salmon and brown trout keeping everyone engaged. Days like this are a strong reminder that teamwork, experience, and adaptability can make all the difference.

Thank you to everyone who joined us—it was a fantastic day on Lake Ontario. Tight lines and good times!

What an incredible two days on the water with an amazing group of new friends, old friends, and family.

As I was trolling today, I found myself thinking, wow… what a life we get to live. We have the privilege of chasing some of the most sought-after game fish, but it’s about so much more than the fishing.

The friendships built on the water are truly second to none. The laughs, the teamwork, the stories, and the memories we make together are what make this lifestyle so special.
I’m grateful for everyone who has shared the deck with us. Here’s to great fishing, lifelong friendships, and many more sunrises on the water.

Tight Lines and Good Times!
A special thank you to Dave, Just One More Charters and Jason with Jay’s Sportfishing for another unforgettable couple of days. Looking forward to the next one!

Day 1 is in the books! We had an awesome three-boat group from New Hampshire on the water today, and let’s just say… it was a great start.
Big thanks to Captains Dave “Just One More Charters” and Jason “Jays Sportfishing” for the teamwork. We’re not done yet—Day 2 is tomorrow, and we can’t wait to see what Lake Ontario has in store. Stay tuned! 🎣
