About Your Trip

If you’re ready to chase one of freshwater’s most legendary predators, Captain Travis is here to put you on the hunt. These trips focus on musky, often called “The Fish of 10,000 Casts,” and are designed for anglers who want an exciting, hands-on day on the water. Whether you’re brand new to musky fishing or already hooked on the pursuit, Travis will walk you through the techniques, equipment, and strategy needed to give you the best shot at landing one.

Trips run from June through December 15th and offer a few different options depending on how you want to fish and how long you want to stay on the water.

The 4-hour trip is a great introduction to musky fishing and focuses on trolling with heavy-duty gear and large lures. Trolling is a very productive way to cover water and locate active fish, making it perfect for beginners, families, and anglers of all experience levels looking for steady action.

The 6-hour trip gives you the choice between trolling or casting. Trolling uses the same aggressive approach with heavy equipment to cover water and trigger strikes, with space for up to three anglers. If you prefer casting, this is Travis’s favorite method and a true musky experience. You’ll work big lures through prime habitat while learning proper techniques, retrieves, and figure-eight methods right alongside the captain. Casting trips are limited to two anglers for a more focused experience.

The 10–12 hour “hardcore” trip is designed for dedicated musky anglers who want to put in the time chasing a true giant. The day focuses primarily on casting big baits with occasional trolling mixed in to cover additional water. It’s a long but rewarding pursuit that requires patience, endurance, and the right technique, making it best suited for anglers with some experience who are ready for a full day on the hunt.

All rods, reels, tackle, and bait are provided. Just bring snacks, drinks, and weather-appropriate clothing and get ready for a serious shot at one of the most sought-after freshwater fish out there. Prices are per charter, not per person.

About Your Guide

Travis

Independent Guide
Travis grew up on the Trent-Severn Waterway in Peterborough and developed a love for fishing at a young age. From chasing smallmouth and largemouth bass to landing walleye and muskie, fishing has always been a huge part of his life. Over the years, that passion turned into countless hours guiding friends, family, and now clients to unforgettable catches.

At Kawartha Fishing, Travis offers a fully guided charter, targeting Muskie, Walleye, Bass, and Panfish (Rock Bass, Sunfish, Crappie, Perch), as well
as scenic sightseeing tours of the beautiful Kawartha Lakes.

He specialize in creating a relaxed, family-friendly experience for anglers of all ages and skill levels. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or picking up a rod for the first time, the goal is simple: to help you have a great time on the water and put you on fish.

Based primarily on Chemong Lake—a hidden gem of the Trent System that’s off the main channel and lightly fished—our trips offer the chance to explore some of the most productive and peaceful waters in the region.
