So grab your hat and sunscreen, because we're about to hit the sweet spots where the big ones are biting.

What to Expect on the Water

Picture this: You're cruising on a spacious deck, top-notch gear in hand, waiting for that heart-pumping moment when the rods start popping. That's the Current Situation experience in a nutshell. Captain Mark and Andrew know these waters like the back of their hand, and they're all about putting you on the fish. We're not just fishing; we're on a mission to land you a wall-hanger. Whether you're a seasoned angler or it's your first time wetting a line, our crew's got you covered. They'll share tips, tell fish tales, and make sure you're in prime position to reel in the big one.

Trolling Tactics & Gear Rundown

Alright, let's talk shop. We're trolling these waters, which means we're covering ground and tempting fish with a spread of lines. It's like setting a buffet for the lake's hungriest residents. We're using downriggers, dipsy divers, and planer boards to get our lures right where the fish are hanging out. The Penn Yan's got plenty of elbow room, so you can work those rods without bumping into your buddies. And speaking of rods, we're talking quality stuff here – the kind that can handle a chunky king salmon deciding to take you for a ride. Don't sweat the details; Captain Mark and Andrew will get you dialed in on the gear and techniques. Your job? Be ready to jump when that reel starts screaming.

What Anglers Are Saying

"Mark and his crew are very good at what they do. After a little weather delay in the morning, we were able to get back to the boat. Mark and his crew were able to put us onto the fish. My crew of guys and I will be back for sure very soon...The day we had with mark and his guys, we will talk about for a very long time ." - Ralph

"Mark, and his crew, were absolutely legendary yesterday on our outing. Rough waters lead to pushing the trip back a few hours for safety reasons... But once we got out on the lake, they showed how great and knowledgeable they really are, putting fish on the lines, and having my guys and myself hammer the fish.. Hands down a great crew, and best part is his deck hands were always on top of the hectic scenario with 3 fish being landed at one time!! And a double at another time!!! Without a doubt my crew will be coming back for more!!! Mark thank you for sharing your knowledge with my crew!!!" - Mike

Species You'll Want to Hook

Let's break down the heavy hitters you'll be targeting on Lake Ontario. First up, the steelhead trout. These silver bullets are known for their acrobatics – expect some serious airtime when you hook into one. They average 5-10 pounds but can push 20. Spring and fall are prime time for steelies, but summer can produce some hefty catches too.

Next, the king of the lake – Chinook salmon. These bruisers are why many anglers lose sleep dreaming about Lake Ontario. Chinooks, or "kings," can tip the scales at over 30 pounds. They're thick-shouldered and hard-fighting, often making blistering runs that'll have your drag singing. Late summer into fall is when these bad boys really turn on, staging for their spawning run.

Don't sleep on the brown trout. These crafty fish are like the lake's secret weapons. They might not get as much press as the salmon, but hook a big brown, and you're in for a battle. Browns in the 5-15 pound range are common, with some topping 20 pounds. They're most active in spring and fall but can surprise you year-round.

Last but not least, lake trout. These deep-water dwellers are the marathon runners of the bunch. They don't jump like steelhead, but they'll test your stamina with long, powerful runs. Lakers can push past 20 pounds and are available year-round. In the warmer months, we'll find them in the cooler, deeper waters. Jigging for lakers is a blast and a nice change-up from trolling.
