Weather to begin the morning was terrible - thunderstorms at dawn.  By the time the charter was to begin the weather had cleared from the area.  Lake Ontario was a bit choppy but settled as the day progressed.  Cloudy to start the day, but the sun came out and the day became pleasant.  Captain Kurt, his spouse, and Craig were definitely there to see that we had a productive trip.  I would have liked for the trip to have continued into the afternoon.  My sons and I were novice fishermen relative to catching King Salmon (the chosen target for the day).  Kurt knew where the fish were located and cruised to the site directly.  His wife was an excellent teacher and coach.  She gave great instructions on how to bring in each fish.  Lures were changed often to tempt the warry salmon as Kurt guided the boat through the area where the kings were located at various depths.  The captain and crew definitely knew what they were doing from many years of experience.  I would greatly enjoy another excursion in the future.

The night prior to our trip Capt. Kurt informed me he had moved the boat a few miles west of its original location in Olcott to be closer to the fish. He also suggested we leave a few hours earlier than scheduled to get in on the likelihood of better fishing. My first mate of 54 years agreed! We left promptly at 6:00am and after a short run north we saw some surface action and mate Craig set up the lines. For the next 11/2 hours we had non stop action, catching a steelhead, a rainbow, 2   coho and the rest of our limit in kings. Kurt and Craig’s attention to detail with the gear and all aspects of the trip was professional and exceeded our expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend him for your next trip.

We had to push the trip one day out due to extreme weather. It rained and flooded and had has force winds for 3 days including our scheduled trip date Capt Kurt called three days ahead and let me know he had the following day left open and so we rescheduled. It’s was a slow start to the day after that severe of a storm a Capt can’t rely on previous fish location data. The harbour was chocolate milk brown that extended a half mile out into the lake. We trolled for a couple hrs with no luck out on the fringe of the murky water and we were then hit with another small squall. The wind with this storm shifted the muddy water opening up a seam of clear water at 10’ deep about 200 yards off shore Capt Kurt got us into some nice brown trout there there I think we boated 5 and released one Atlantic salmon. After that the clouds parted and the sun came out with force so we ventured back out to 50’-75’ of water into a band that was in between not super clean and not super muddy.. just a little murky there we got into some pockets of decent lake trout and then landed the first king salmon. Each pocket produced bigger and bigger fish and more than once we were doubled and tripled up. This was me my wife and two young sons.  Tammy the captains wife grabbed a chair for my 8yr old son to sit in and fight a big laker while I was also landing one on the other side of the boat. As we started to bring in the gear starting with the shallow runners on planer boards out to the sides we hooked up on the last two fish of the day. Me and my wife side by by side fighting the two biggest fish of the day a 17.5lb king and a 16lb laker for my wife. It was an awesome day couldn’t have planned it out better. Thank you Capt Kurt and Tammy it was a fantastic trip and we look forward to booking with you guys again.

Capt Kurt and Tammy were incredible, my brother and I had an amazing 4 hour trip with them.  They showed us how each rig was set up and how to hook a fish with each one.  They happlily answered all our questions about what they were doing and why.
We started catching fish about 20 minutes into the trip, several times we each had a fish on at the same time.  We each caught a limit of King salmon and just as many lake trout.  I highly recommend Capt Kurt and Tammy, they absolutely know how to fish Lake Ontario!!!

Captain Kurt is a total pro with extensive experience and knowledge of the target species and which lures to use to catch them. He and his mate Tammy go out of their way to make sure you have a top notch trip in a safe and comfortable environment utilizing first rate equipment .Fish stalker is the only charter that I would utilize in the future while fishing Lake Ontario, and I highly recommend others looking for a first class trip to do the same
