Italo Guided Fishing Trips

Let’s get fishing together!

I have spent the last 36yrs hosting the Canadian Sportfishing TV series and most recently also hosting the “Here’s the Catch!” saltwater TV series. My life has been dedicated to helping anglers enjoy fishing to the fullest and sharing valuable tips with them.

Now I have the opportunity of guiding people and letting them experience first hand the same quality fishing as we have captured in our TV series. Teaching guests how to locate, identify the right equipment and use the right technique to catch specific fish.

The Location

Eastern Lake Ontario (Prince Edward County & the mouth of the St. Lawrence River)

For the last 47 yrs I have had the pleasure of fish & explore the Bay of Quinte, ON that stretches from Trenton, ON to Bath, ON including Wolf, Amherst Island, East & West Lake, Smith’s Bay and South Bay. In my opinion this is one of the best places in North America to catch a multitude of fish.

Fish Species

Spring: Walleye, Pike, Panfish, Longnose Gar & Lake Trout.

Summer/Fall: Walleye, Largemouth & Smallmouth Bass, Pike (incidental catches of Freshwater Drum & trophy Channel Catfish.

Late Fall: trophy Smallmouth & Largemouth Bass, Walleye, Channel Catfish, Jumbo Perch.

Fishing Machine

I can take you out in the custom outfitted 20’ ProSports Boat rigged with 150 hp Merc, twin 10’ PowerPoles, Motorguide xi5 electric trolling motor, Raymarine Element & Axiom fishfinders & Scotty Downrigger.

Or we I can do a “consulting” guiding trip in your fishing boat from our specified meeting locations below or on your home lake.

Whether you are an experiences angler or beginner, I will ensure you will be safe and enjoy an amazing day fishing and at the same time sharing with you valuable tips that will help you catch fish on your own.

Let’s make memories together that will last a lifetime.
