Lake Ontario's Trophy Trout Adventure

Ready for a full day chasing big browns and lakers on Lake Ontario? This 7-hour trip with Kings Ransom Sportfishing puts you right in the action. We'll be cruising on a sweet 31' Tiara Open that's decked out with all the bells and whistles you need to put fish in the boat. Whether you're looking to fine-tune your trolling game or just want to soak up a day on the water with good company, we've got you covered. Let's break down what you can expect when you hop aboard for this extended Lake Ontario fishing charter.

What to Expect on the Water

First things first - we're talking about a solid 7 hours on the lake. That's plenty of time to really dial in your technique and get after some trophy trout. We'll be targeting brown trout and lake trout, two species that'll give you a run for your money. The 31' Tiara Open we use is a real workhorse. It's got space for 4 anglers to fish comfortably, and trust me, you'll appreciate that elbow room when you're battling a big brown. We've got top-notch Garmin electronics onboard to help us zero in on the fish. And hey, when nature calls, there's an onboard toilet - because no one wants to cut their fishing time short for a bathroom run.

Trolling Tactics 101

If you're new to trolling or just want to brush up on your skills, you're in the right spot. We'll be using a mix of techniques to entice those trout. Expect to see downriggers, planer boards, and maybe even some dipsy divers in action. We'll be running a spread of lures - spoons, stickbaits, and maybe even some cut bait if the bite calls for it. The key to trolling is covering water and finding the right depth, so we'll be constantly tweaking our setup based on what the fish are telling us. Don't worry if you're a beginner - our crew is here to show you the ropes and help you land that trophy catch.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Brown Trout: Lake Ontario's browns are the stuff of legend. These fish are known for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs. We typically see browns in the 5-15 pound range, but don't be surprised if we tangle with a 20+ pounder. They love to hang out in the nearshore areas, especially in spring and fall when the water's cooler. Browns are suckers for flashy spoons and minnow-imitating lures. When a big brown hits, hold on tight - these fish will make your drag sing!

Lake Trout: Lakers are the deep-water bruisers of Lake Ontario. These fish love the cold, so we often find them hugging the bottom in deeper water. They're not as fast as browns, but they've got stamina for days. A typical lake trout might run 8-12 pounds, but fish over 20 pounds aren't uncommon. We'll often target them with downriggers, using flashers and flies or big spoons. The fight with a lake trout is a test of endurance - they'll dive deep and use their weight to their advantage. But trust me, when you bring one of these beauties to the net, it's all worth it.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Let me tell you, there's something special about fishing Lake Ontario. It's not just the size of the fish - although that's certainly part of it. It's the whole package. You've got this massive lake that feels more like an inland sea. The water stretches as far as the eye can see, and you never know what might show up on the end of your line. Our extended trip gives you the time to really settle in and enjoy the experience. You're not rushed, so you can take the time to learn, to experiment, and to just soak in the day. Plus, with our experienced crew, you're getting access to years of local knowledge. We know where the fish are holding, what they're biting on, and how to put you on them.

Time to Book Your Spot

If you're itching to get out on Lake Ontario and tangle with some world-class trout, now's your chance. This 7-hour trip with Kings Ransom Sportfishing is the perfect way to experience the best of what the lake has to offer. Whether you're a seasoned angler looking to add some trophy fish to your list, or a newcomer wanting to learn from the pros, we've got you covered. Remember, we can only take 4 anglers per trip, so spots fill up fast - especially during peak season. Don't miss out on your chance to create some lasting memories and maybe even land the fish of a lifetime. Give us a call or book online today, and let's get you out on the water. The trout are waiting!

Learn more about the species

Brown Trout

Brown trout are a real favorite on Lake Ontario. These guys typically run 8-24 inches, but we've landed some real monsters pushing 39 inches and 9-10 pounds. They love cool, clear water and you'll often find them hanging around structure like submerged logs or rocky areas. Fall's prime time as they feed aggressively before spawning. Anglers love 'em for their fight - they'll give you a good run for your money. Plus, they're tasty if you decide to keep one for dinner. When trolling for browns, I always tell folks to vary their speeds. These fish can be finicky, so sometimes a slower troll with a flasher and fly combo does the trick. And don't forget to check those shorelines early in the morning or late evening - that's when the big ones often cruise in shallow.

Brown Trout

Lake Trout

Lake trout are the big boys of Lake Ontario. We're talking 15-40 pounders that'll test your arms and your gear. These guys like it cold and deep, so we usually target them in the main basin where they suspend in that chilly water. Spring's a great time to go after lakers, right after ice-out when they're in shallower water. They're not fans of bright light, so overcast days are perfect. What makes lake trout special is their size and the challenge of finding them. Once you hook one, you're in for a real tug-of-war. Jigging's my go-to method - I like using a Rapala Jigging Rap or a soft plastic swimbait on a jig head. Work it slow and steady near the bottom. Pro tip: watch your electronics closely. These fish often school up, so where there's one, there's usually more.
