Salmon Fishing Trophy!

Trout and Salmon Fishing on Lake Ontario with Rodmaster Sportfishing Charters

     Lake Ontario offers some of the finest freshwater fishing in the US! Our charter fishing season begins annually on April 1st and runs until October 31st. That means there's plenty of time for you to experience the excitement of hooking into one of our Lake Ontario Trout or Salmon!

     If you're not familiar with our fishery, there are mulitple species available to us, and we often catch a nice mixed bag daily. The Trout species in Lake Ontario are Brown Trout, Lake Trout, Rainbow Trout and Steelhead (a strain of Rainbow Trout). The Salmon in Lake Ontario are Coho Salmon, an occasional Atlantic Salmon and the Chinook Salmon. The Chinook is also called a King Salmon, which, if you hook into one you will understand why they've earned the name - they put up an incredibly powerful fight!

Capt. Mike and The Premium Charter

     Our Premium Fishing Charter is fishing directly with Capt. Mike Pastore aboard his Charter Boat, the Rodmaster. This is the Ultimate Lake Ontario Charter Fishing Boat! As pictured at top, she's a 33' Trojan International Sportfishing Yacht boasting a 13' beam (width) and tons of fishing room! 

     The Premium Charter is a cut-above the other Lake Ontario Charters, and as such is priced at a Premium rate. This is the charter that most of our clients choose, and is the preference of the Discriminating Sportsman.

Meet Capt. Mike Pastore, our Premium Charter Captain, displaying a Hefty King Salmon!

     Sure, we were all handed fishing poles by our Grandfathers when we were 5 years old. But that doesn't give us the right to say that we've been fishing since that time! How long a Captain has been fishing PROFESSIONALLY is what you should be concerned with.

Capt. Mike Pastore is a USCG Federally Licensed Lake Ontario Fishing Charter Boat Captain and a NYS Licensed Outdoor Guide. He has over 35 years of actual fishing experience, and is currently celebrating his 30th year as a professional fishing guide on Lake Ontario and other inland waters of New York.

Anyone who has ever been aboard the Rodmaster can attest to the fact that Capt. Mike will work obsessively to get you on fish, get them biting and keep them biting. This is not a hobby for him - it's a full time career, unlike many charter captains. With Capt. Mike's experience, instinct and extensive knowledge he is second to none on the water!

Proven Success!

Capt. Mike and Rodmaster Sport Fishing Charters have an unmatched and well documented track record of success, including over 100 L.O.C. Derby prize winning fish! This is an unparalled accomplishment in the annual lake-wide event that we are extremely proud of.   No fish stories being told here!

Seabreeze Water and Theme Park is directly across the Bay from us, and Charlotte Beach not far beyond that with lifeguards, a beachhouse, restrooms, lockers and food vendors.

What Folks Say About Us

Capt. Mike,
   Just wanted to let you know what a great time we had last week! Bob said to tell you he'll be in touch about bringing the family up in July. Sure wish I had been the one to pull in that nice brown . . . had to listen to Gary ramble on about it the whole 5 hours home! Thanks again - you know we'll be back!
Chris Erwin


  Thanks alot for another great trip, Capt. Mike!   But now the wives have decided they are coming again next time since they found so much to do there.  We told them they should look into the wine tours - with enough wine tasting hopefully there'll be less shopping!
Ben Kraemer


Captain,
   Thanks for the great fishing! I've been on Lake Ontario with 3 other guides, and none of them worked as hard as you to keep us on fish. The boys were about ready to give up on Lake Ontario, but now we see that you get what you pay for. Lesson learned. You run a 1st rate service! All the best to you! We'll be in touch,
Carl Sanderson


Hi Capt. Mike!
   Can you please send pics of JJ's salmon asap? He's pretty upset because the kids at school don't believe him and what I took on my phone are just sun glare. He had the best time -- and so did I just watching his excitement! A memory Jody and I will always have of him! Thanks!
