We had a great charter. Capt John was very knowledgeable and the boat was well equipped. It is an amazing fishery to have such easy access to world class fishing. I would highly recommend to anyone from experienced anglers to kids looking to catch a fish of a lifetime.

I don’t have enough good things to say about John and Salmon Limited. What an exceptional Experience. From the first phone call and a ton of questions, to accommodating every ask we had (there weren’t many, but he made it all easy) His fishing knowledge and knowledge of the area are fantastic and help in finding the best spots to catch fish. If you want a stress free, fun fishing charter book with John, you won’t be disappointed. Thank you for a great evening fishing. We can’t wait to go again next year.

It was a slow morning on the lake but John did his best to get us on some fish. He was always changing lures and depths. We covered a lot of water trying to find them. He worked his butt off for us. He was very knowledgeable about the lake and definitely made it a great experience! All in all a great morning on the lake. Would recommend to anyone! He was an awesome captain!

Captain John is a TRUE one of a kind fisherman. My buddy introduced me to him today and we caught 3 fish within the first hour. He KNOWS his stuff and I wouldn’t choose anybody else for charter trips. He is SUPER helpful and answers almost questions. Most importantly he treats you like family from the get go and provides all necessary equipment. His pricing is also super reasonable for the amount of stuff he offers and provides. I 10/10 recommend him hands down. We are already booked for another trip with him for May ;). If that doesn’t speak for itself, I don’t know how else to convince you.

For the past 5 years I enjoyed going out fishing with Captain John. Every trip was fun and full of excitement on his boat, nice fishing equipment with large displays and what was most important his experience getting nice results in finding trophy size salmon, lake trout or steelhead. He will explain in detail and will answer all your questions regarding fishing techniques... so overall I have to say he's the best if anyone wants to experience a fishing trip with him. Captain John thank you I will see you next year again ! 🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣

My son and I went out with John. He has great knowledge about how to fish in this area. He was very fun and honest. I emailed him thinking the weather might be bad. He honestly took time to figure out the best day to go fishing for the best experience. We ended up going out on a beautiful day and caught a lot of fish and a lot of big fish. My son and I are going to remember this trip for the rest of our lives. I’m already planing another trip.

Private Charters • Real Experiences • Time Well Spent on the Water

Join me on Lake Ontario for a Private Salmon and Trout Fishing Charter with Salmon Limited Sportfishing Niagara.

I’ll be your guide for a relaxed, hands-on trip, sharing the local knowledge and experience I’ve gained from years of fishing these waters. Whether you’re picking up a rod for the first time or returning for another season, I’ll help you feel comfortable, get involved, and make the most of your time aboard.

When a rod fires, it’s your fish to fight. From that first powerful run right to the net, I’ll be beside you with guidance and encouragement.

I look forward to welcoming you aboard.

Captain John Mastrandrea

Salmon Limited Sportfishing Niagara is built around one thing — delivering a true Lake Ontario salmon and trout trolling experience, right here in Niagara. This isn’t a mix of different fisheries or changing targets. It’s a focused approach shaped by seasons, timing, and what’s happening on the water each day.

Lake Ontario consistently produces world-class salmon and trout opportunities, and our entire season revolves around understanding when and where those fish move.

We primarily target:

• Chinook (King) Salmon
• Coho Salmon
• Lake Trout
• Brown Trout
• Rainbow Trout

Every trip stays centered on trolling for these species. Conditions guide our decisions, and if you have a goal in mind — a specific species, keeping fish for the table, or practicing catch and release — we’ll shape the day around that intention while staying true to what the lake is giving us.

This is Niagara salmon and trout fishing, done with purpose.

Rooted in Niagara — Focused on Salmon and Trout fishing on Lake Ontario
