About Your Guide

Thomas Pearse

Independent Guide
Captain Tom has been obsessed with Lake Ontario fishing since he was 12 years old, spending countless hours fishing the tributaries and watching charter boats leave the harbor with dreams of one day running his own. At 18, he purchased his first boat and began fishing the Great Lakes, eventually building more than 25 years of experience on Lakes Ontario and Erie.

A lifelong educator, Captain Tom still teaches science during the school year, but his summers are spent doing what he loves most—helping anglers experience the incredible fishery of Lake Ontario. After earning his Captain's License with the support of his family, he turned a lifelong dream into reality and now spends his time introducing guests to the excitement of Great Lakes salmon and trout fishing.

Known for his enthusiasm, patience, and passion for teaching, Captain Tom enjoys sharing both his fishing knowledge and his love of the outdoors with anglers of all experience levels. Whether you're a first-time fisherman or a seasoned Great Lakes veteran, his goal is to help you learn, have fun, and create lasting memories...

About Your Trip

Experience the world-class salmon and trout fishing that has made Lake Ontario one of North America's premier freshwater destinations. Join Captain Tom for a half-day morning, half-day afternoon, or full-day adventure targeting the hard-fighting species that cruise the deep waters offshore.

Depending on the season and conditions, you'll have opportunities to target Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Steelhead, and Lake Trout while trolling productive offshore waters. These trips often venture miles offshore in search of temperature
breaks, bait concentrations, and active fish, giving anglers a true Great Lakes fishing experience.

You'll fish aboard a spacious 36' Tiara sportfishing boat that comfortably accommodates up to 6 anglers. Built for both comfort and performance, the boat features a cabin, restroom, kitchen, air conditioning, refrigerator, flybridge, and plenty of room to relax between bites. The vessel is fully equipped with premium electronics, including Simrad fish-finding technology, radar, outriggers, and downriggers to help maximize opportunities throughout the day.

All rods, reels, tackle, lures, water, and snacks are included, and your catch will be cleaned and filleted at the end of the trip so it's ready to take home. A first mate is aboard to assist throughout the day, and gratuities of 15-20% are customary for their hard work.

All you need to bring is a valid New York fishing license, weather-appropriate clothing, and a cooler for your fillets. Whether you're chasing your first King Salmon or you're a seasoned Great Lakes angler, Captain Tom is ready to help you experience everything Lake Ontario has to offer.
