Meet Captain Scott Tarnoski
Meet Top Lake Ontario Fishing Charter Captain, Scott Tarnoski, and His Boat
Captain Scott Tarnoski is the heart behind Kings Ransom Sportfishing, bringing over 20 years of on-the-water experience to every charter. A lifelong angler with a deep connection to Lake Ontario, Scott has spent decades learning its changing conditions, seasonal patterns, and most productive fishing zones. His passion for freshwater sportfishing runs deep, and his knowledge of local waters means guests are always in good hands—whether they’re chasing early spring Brown Trout or mid-summer King Salmon.
What sets Captain Scott apart is his ability to read the lake and adapt each trip to match the day’s conditions and each guest’s goals. From trolling deep waters for Lake Trout to navigating the salmon runs in late summer, Scott’s command of techniques and timing is second nature. He takes pride in helping anglers of all experience levels feel comfortable, confident, and prepared to reel in fish they’ll remember long after the trip ends.
Scott’s easygoing personality and approachable style make the experience as enjoyable as the catch itself. Guests often return year after year, not just for the fishing, but because they trust the man behind the wheel. With an emphasis on safety, sustainability, and respect for the lake, Scott is more than a guide—he’s a true steward of Lake Ontario, passionate about maintaining its health for future generations of anglers.
