We had scheduled a 6 hour fishing trip out of St. Catharines for trout and salmon. Due to the excessive heat, it was recommended that we delay the fishing till later in the afternoon. We started the charter around 3:30 and didn’t get a bite for 2 hours. The activity picked up toward dinnertime when we pulled some smaller salmon in. We finally snagged some large salmon before it got dark: 25-30lbs.
There were 7 of us and not everyone got a chance to land a fish. It happens. Capt. Hardcastle knows his craft, and never stopped working to find us fish. He’s a good guy to hang with once you get to know him, and he speaks American very well. We would definitely charter again with Steve, but we’d probably do the morning trip.

Fishmaster is top notch. They really know their stuff. I was impressed by the equipment, it felt like I was a fishing pro. The staff seem like they live, breath and sleep fishing. Our day was an amazing experience for fishing on Lake Ontario. Lots of room, great tunes(play whatever you want), we ordered food and drinks which allowed us just to worry about getting on the boat. There was six of us and we all caught fish plus more. I was actually tired of catching fish by the end of the day. We started pretty early but it was worth every second and priceless memories. If you are looking to catch some big salmon and maybe a trout or two, I would give Fishmaster a call. Can’t wait for the next trip! Callin’ up the boy’s and maybe a girl or two ;) Let’s go fishin’!!!

We had a great time fishing with Steve and would highly recommend! Hoping to go back again sometime.

Great day. Awesome crew. Recomend for sure. Sooo much fish and big ones. Will be booking again

We had a great time with Captain Steve. Although the weather turned on us once we were out on the lake, 20 mph winds and the lake was rough, Steve still managed to put us on a few fish. He worked the entirety of the lake and would not give up trying to find some salmon willing to bite. He definitely gave us his best effort. I will book with him again in August for my next outing with customers.
