Meet Captain Adam
My name is Adam, and I am the owner/operator of Reel Distraction Sportfishing. I've spent nearly 30 years fishing the waters of Lake Ontario, and ever since I was old enough to hold a fishing rod, I've had a passion for being on the water and learning everything this incredible fishery has to offer.
Over the years, I've gained extensive experience targeting Lake Ontario's premier sport fish, including salmon, trout, and walleye. Countless hours on the water have taught me how these fish move with the seasons, weather, and changing conditions, allowing me to consistently put clients on fish.
Whether you're an experienced angler looking for a trophy catch or introducing your family to the excitement of fishing for the first time, my goal as owner/operator of Reel Distraction Sportfishing is to provide a safe, enjoyable, and memorable day on the water. I take pride in sharing my knowledge, creating a fun atmosphere, and helping every guest experience the thrill that has kept me coming back to Lake Ontario for nearly three decades.
I look forward to welcoming you aboard Reel Distraction Sportfishing and helping you create lasting memories on one of the best fisheries in the world.

In addition to his experience on Lake Ontario, Wesley has spent time working at remote fly-in fishing camps in Northern Alberta, where he guided anglers in some of Canada's most pristine wilderness. That experience sharpened his abilities as both an angler and a guide, while reinforcing his commitment to providing exceptional customer service and unforgettable fishing adventures.

Meet Captain Apprentice Caleb
At just 16 years old, Captain Apprentice Caleb has already built an impressive fishing résumé. Having grown up on the water, fishing has been a part of his life for as long as he can remember, and his passion for the sport is evident in everything he does.
Caleb serves as the captain of his high school's fishing team and has represented it at the prestigious Bassmaster High School Tournament in the United States. His love of angling has also taken him across the globe, including an upcoming fishing adventure in Zimbabwe.
When he's not aboard the charter or fishing with his dad, there's a good chance you'll find Caleb standing in a river with a fly rod in hand, always chasing the next bite and looking for another opportunity to learn. Simply put, he eats, sleeps, and lives fishing.
As Captain Apprentice, Caleb brings an incredible work ethic, enthusiasm, and eagerness to help every guest have an unforgettable day on the water. Whether he's setting lines, netting fish, or sharing his knowledge with clients, his passion is contagious and a big part of what makes every trip memorable.
Like his dad say's, Caleb is the master of "just one last cast"
