Jack AI Customer Experience Snapshot
Captain Kurt and his wife Tammy consistently deliver exceptional Lake Ontario fishing experiences, with customers regularly catching limits of King salmon, steelhead, rainbow trout, and lake trout. Kurt's expertise shows in his ability to locate fish quickly, often putting clients on productive water within 20 minutes of departure. He adjusts departure times and locations based on conditions, moving the boat closer to fish when needed. The team's attention to gear setup and lure selection keeps the action going, with multiple customers reporting simultaneous hookups and non-stop fishing for hours. Kurt and Tammy create a welcoming atmosphere that makes clients feel like they're fishing with old friends. They patiently teach proper techniques to novices while answering questions about rigging and tactics. Families especially appreciate how they engage children, helping kids successfully land fish while explaining different species and methods. Customers consistently mention the clean, well-organized boat and professional gear matched appropriately for fighting fish rather than just hauling them in.

August 11, 2025Our foursome had a great time fishing. Captain Craig was very knowledgable fishing the Ontario waters and answered our many questions. He is a very personable individual and we had great conversations. We were fortunate to catch 6 king salmon and 2 rainbow trout on our 5 hour trip. We would definitely recommend fishing with Captain Craig. Again, thank you for a great day on the water.

July 18, 2025Captain Craig is a very experienced fisherman who wonât let you go home empty handed! He runs his boat like a boss and knows what the fish want. We thought we had scheduled our trip during a rough water cycle but he didnât stop working the fish until we landed some big ones! He is so friendly and easy to get along with, I canât recommend him enough! Thank you captain Craig, and we wish you the best on the summer derby. You literally made our trip buddy! See you again soon

July 13, 2025We had 6 people and we all caught fish! Had 10 fish on in a short time out there and landed 8. Out of the 8, 6 were monsters! Would highly recommend to anyone looking to have fun and catch fish. The captian was younger 26 years old but to see a kid this young out doing the âold timersâ was shocking and impressive. My hat goes off to the captain Criag. So glad we found this charter will be going again this summer.

July 8, 2025Lots of experience in Erie but a lot of firsts getting 3 generations on a new lake. Captain Craig of Stalker was great. He got us on the Kings and was great with the kids. Great boat and equipment. Highly recommend!

September 22, 2024We arrived and were greeted by the captain, who informed us that fishing was a bit slow due to the unseasonably warm and calm weather. He mentioned that he had been in touch with other captains to discuss the best plan of action. The boat was clean, well-organized, and equipped with great gear. Once we were out on the water, the captain set up the gear with a positive attitude, and his humor kept everyone in high spiritsâwe had a lot of laughs throughout the day. The fishing picked up quickly, and we caught 3 very nice-sized steelhead and 1 smaller one. Although we hooked into two other big fish, they unfortunately got away. We also caught 4-5 smaller salmon, two of which were of legal size to keep. The captain immediately released the undersized fish. I would definitely book again and the captain suggested coming earlier in the season, as we were at the tail end of the peak fishing period.

September 6, 2024I had a great time fishing with Craig at Cranks Charters. We found fish soon after leaving the marina and successfully caught Kings and Steelhead. Craig was knowledgeable, friendly, and put in a lot of effort to make sure we had a good trip. I highly recommend booking with him.

June 20, 2024The morning began with terrible weather - thunderstorms at dawn. However, by the time our charter started, the weather had cleared. Lake Ontario was initially choppy but settled as the day progressed. It was cloudy at first, but the sun eventually came out, making for a pleasant day. Captain Kurt, his spouse, and Craig were dedicated to ensuring we had a productive trip. I wished the trip could have continued into the afternoon. My sons and I were novice fishermen when it came to catching King Salmon, our target for the day. Kurt knew exactly where the fish were and took us directly to the site. His wife was an excellent teacher and coach, providing great instructions on how to reel in each fish. They frequently changed lures to entice the wary salmon as Kurt guided the boat through various depths. The captain and crew's expertise, honed over many years, was evident. I would love to go on another excursion in the future.

June 19, 2024The night before our trip, Capt. Kurt informed me that he had moved the boat a few miles west from Olcott to be closer to the fish. He also suggested we leave a few hours earlier to take advantage of better fishing conditions. My first mate of 54 years agreed! We departed promptly at 6:00 am and, after a short run north, saw some surface action. Mate Craig set up the lines, and for the next hour and a half, we experienced non-stop action, catching a steelhead, a rainbow, two cohos, and the rest of our limit in kings. Kurt and Craig's attention to detail with the gear and all aspects of the trip was professional and exceeded our expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend them for your next trip.

June 14, 2024Had a great trip with my son. We loaded up the cooler and had lots of fun, enjoying quality time fishing together.

April 29, 2024Capt. Kurt and Tammy were incredible. My brother and I had an amazing four-hour trip with them. They showed us how each rig was set up and how to hook a fish with each one. They happily answered all our questions about what they were doing and why. We started catching fish about 20 minutes into the trip, and several times we each had a fish on simultaneously. We each caught our limit of King salmon and just as many lake trout. I highly recommend Capt. Kurt and Tammy; they absolutely know how to fish Lake Ontario!

April 26, 2024Captain Kurt was very professional and accommodating. The fishing trip exceeded our expectations. Captain Kurt was extremely knowledgeable and worked hard to get us on fish. I would highly recommend Stalker Charters to anyone. We will definitely be booking trips with Stalker Charters in the future.
