Captain
Donald Lavoie

Member since June 2022 Oswego, United States
Background
Captain Donald grew up in a fishing family. Together with his wife Andrea, he makes DNA Fishing. This husband-wife team met in Key West, Florida when he was a light tackle guide and she was in the navy. They have guided hunters and fishermen for the last 26 years together. They started fishing together in Key West and then moved to northern Maine and ran a sporting camp for 19 years. They guided moose, bear, and bird hunters as well as fishermen. Capt. Donald and his wife have been fishing Lake Ontario for 12 years. They sold their lodge and bought a charter boat. For them, it’s more of a passion than just a business. They often fish tournaments in their spare time. This team enjoys getting clients involved in the setup and whatever else they'd like to learn or try.
Techniques
On Lake Ontario, this crew's method of fishing is trolling for Salmon and Trout. The captain and his wife use downriggers, leadcore line, copper line, and dipsy divers. It’s a lot of fun to see a rod bend completely over and have the drag burn out hundreds of feet.
