Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?
Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.
Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.
Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.
Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.
What month is best for on a artificial lure fishing trip in Lake Ontario?

My wife and I had a great time salmon fishing on Lake Ontario with Captain Jarod and his tireless mate Johnny. It was our first trip to the area and they explained the equipment and techniques and made it easy. The boat was comfortable on a cold Saturday morning. Johnny made sure we landed the fish we hooked so we came away with fish for the freezer.

Trip: Trout & Salmon Trolling
My boys andI decided to charter a King trip on Lake Ontario. We had never done this before and didn’t really know where to begin. We were able to get the trip booked through Captain Experiences. They handled date changes etc flawlessly. We booked with James in Rochester. Arrived at the dock at 6AM and the boat was running and ready to go. Captain James was amazing. He was very personable and knowledgeable. The boat was beautiful. He put us right on the fish. We hit our limit with at least an hour to spare. It was a blast, and my boys (11 and 14) LOVED it. I highly recommend Captain James and Captain Experiences!
