My name is Richard Hajecki, and I am a fully licensed, and insured, U.S. Coast Guard Master Captain. I am not your typical Captain, and I don't charter for a living. I charter because I have a passion for Sportfishing Lake Ontario's Salmon and Trout. My father had me on the Lake at the age of 5, and that is when the addiction began. I am younger than most captains on Lake Ontario, but that doesn't mean I lack the knowledge of the sport. My willingness to change with the times, and my ability to research and understand what we are fishing for enables us to put fish in the boat on EVERY trip! My job is also to make life long memories for you and your family or friends. I have fished Lake Ontario for over 20 years chasing it's Salmon and Trout. I have targeted Bass, and fished Bass tournaments, ranging from Lake Erie in New York State to Candlewood Lake in Connecticut for more than 10 years. I feel I have accomplished a lot in the time I have been Sportfishing.


 

My name is Craig Hajecki, and I am a fully licensed, and insured, U.S. Coast Guard Master Captain. I have fished Lake Ontario for over 20 years chasing it's Salmon and Trout along side my brother Rick and our father Rich. I tend to bring an important aspect to the team and boat by sometimes going against the grain. I love to try new colors and products, and my reputation has grown around the Lake for keeping the local tackle shops in business. Although we fish as a team during tournaments my spread goes down on the starboard side.

 Credentials are important when landing a job, and I think they should be equally important when picking a Captain/Charter Boat.
