Lake Ontario's Trout Paradise: 7-Hour Charter
Get ready for an epic day on Lake Ontario chasing some of the biggest brown and lake trout you've ever seen. This 7-hour trip with Kings Ransom Sportfishing gives you plenty of time to dial in your technique and land that trophy fish you've been dreaming about. We'll be cruising on a sweet 31' Tiara open, decked out with top-notch Garmin electronics to put us right on the fish. And don't worry, there's a toilet on board so you can stay comfortable all day long.
What to Expect on the Water
As soon as we shove off from the dock, you'll feel the excitement building. Lake Ontario is known for its monster trout, and we're going after two of the best - browns and lakers. Our seasoned crew knows these waters like the back of their hand, so we'll waste no time getting to the hotspots. Whether you're a seasoned angler or it's your first time holding a rod, we've got you covered. We'll show you the ropes and make sure you're set up for success. With 7 full hours on the water, you'll have plenty of chances to hook into something big.
Trolling Tactics & Top Gear
On this trip, we'll be focusing on trolling - one of the most effective ways to target big trout in Lake Ontario. We'll set up a spread of lines behind the boat, using a mix of downriggers, dipsy divers, and planer boards to cover different depths. Our go-to lures include spoons, stickbaits, and cut bait rigs. The key is matching the hatch and finding that perfect combo that the fish can't resist. We provide all the gear you need, top-quality stuff that can handle these hard-fighting fish. Just bring your excitement and maybe a lucky hat!
Species You'll Want to Hook
Brown Trout: These bruisers are the crown jewels of Lake Ontario. Known for their aggressive strikes and acrobatic fights, hooking into a big brown is an angler's dream. They average 5-10 pounds, but don't be surprised if you tie into a 20+ pounder. Browns love to cruise the shoreline and hang around structure, so we'll target these areas. Spring and fall are prime times, but summer can be hot too if you know where to look.
Lake Trout: Lakers are the bulldogs of the deep. These powerful fish put up a stubborn fight, often diving straight down when hooked. They can grow massive in Lake Ontario, with 15-20 pounders being common and the chance at a 30+ pound beast always there. We'll often find them suspended over deep water or hugging underwater shelves. The cooler months are best for lakers, but they can be caught year-round with the right tactics.
Why Anglers Keep Coming Back
There's something special about fishing Lake Ontario that keeps folks coming back year after year. Maybe it's the heart-pounding moment when a big brown slams your lure. Or the satisfaction of finally bringing a stubborn lake trout to the net after a long battle. Could be the stunning views of the shoreline as we cruise to our spots. Whatever it is, this lake has a way of getting under your skin. And with our knowledge and top-notch gear, you're in for one of the best days of fishing you've ever had.

Learn more about the species
Brown Trout
Brown trout are the all-stars of Lake Ontario. Typically 8-24 inches long, these fish pack a punch for their size. You'll spot them by their golden-brown backs and black spots. They're not native, but they've made themselves right at home since being introduced in the 1880s. We find browns in cool, clear waters, often near cover. They love hanging out in small streams and large rivers, anywhere with the right temp and plenty of bugs to munch on. Fall and early winter are prime times as they get ready to spawn. These fish are popular for good reason - they're smart, put up a great fight, and taste delicious. Fly fishing's a favorite method, but trolling works well too, especially on the Great Lakes. For a local trick, try night fishing in the fall. Browns feed aggressively after dark this time of year. Use streamers or small spinners under a float. And keep an eye out for deep pools or overgrown areas - that's where the big ones like to hide.
Lake Trout
Lake trout are the giants of the char family, often hitting 15-40 pounds with lengths of 2-3 feet. These cold-water lovers hang out in the deep, oxygen-rich parts of Lake Ontario. We usually find them suspended in the basin, sometimes at serious depths. They're not the fastest growers, but they make up for it in size and fight. Spring's your best bet for lakers, right after ice-out when they're in shallower water. As summer heats up, they dive deep to stay cool. Overcast days are prime time - these fish aren't fans of bright light. Jigging's the go-to method out here. Rapala Jigging Raps or anything that looks like a wounded baitfish works great. If you're new to lake trout, don't be afraid to go deep - that's where the big ones live. Folks love targeting lake trout for the challenge and the potential for a real trophy fish. Plus, they're tasty if you decide to keep one. Local tip: when jigging, use a slow, steady rhythm. These fish often hit on the drop, so stay alert!
