What to Expect on the Water

From the moment you step aboard, you'll know you're in for a top-notch fishing experience. Captain Jerry runs a tight ship, with all the gear and know-how to make your day successful. You'll be trolling prime pike habitat, working structure and weed edges where the big girls like to hang out. This isn't a leisurely cruise – it's a focused hunt for quality fish. And when you hook into a chunky pike, get ready for an arm-wrenching battle. As a bonus, the captain will fillet your catch at the end of the day, so you can skip straight to the fish fry when you get home.

Trolling Tips & Tackle Talk

On this trip, we're all about trolling for pike. We'll be using heavy-duty gear to handle these toothy predators – think medium-heavy rods, baitcasting reels spooled with 20-30 lb test line, and a good selection of pike-sized lures. Expect to troll with diving crankbaits, big spoons, and inline spinners. Captain Jerry's a pro at reading the fish finder and adjusting our tactics based on water temp and conditions. He'll show you how to work the trolling lanes effectively, and when to speed up or slow down to trigger strikes. Don't forget your pliers and a quality set of fish grips – these pike have teeth that mean business!

Species You'll Want to Hook

Northern Pike are the star of the show on this trip, and for good reason. These aggressive predators are some of the most exciting freshwater fish you can target. Known for their lightning-fast strikes and powerful runs, pike will test your skills and your gear. In Ontario's rivers, pike can grow to impressive sizes, with fish over 40 inches not unheard of. They're ambush predators, often lurking in weedy areas or near drop-offs. As the water warms up in June, pike move to deeper, cooler areas, which is why our trolling tactics are so effective. Fall can be an excellent time to target big pike as they feed heavily before winter. When you hook into a big one, be ready for aerial acrobatics and heart-pounding runs – these fish don't go down without a fight!

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

There's something special about pike fishing in Ontario that keeps anglers coming back year after year. Maybe it's the rush of adrenaline when a big pike slams your lure. Or perhaps it's the pristine beauty of these Canadian waterways, where you can fish all day without seeing another boat. For many, it's the chance to tangle with a true river monster – a pike so big it barely fits in the net. Whatever your reason, this trip delivers the goods. With Captain Jerry's expertise and local knowledge, you're not just fishing – you're getting an insider's look at some of the best pike waters in North America.
