Billy V Sportfishing

I'm your Captain, Bill Ruth. I've been fishing the waters of Lake Ontario for over 25 years and I hold a 25 ton USCG Master Captain's license. I specialize in trolling for trophy-sized trout and salmon. We're always trying new things in an effort to catch more fish; charter us for a fishing trip for a day or two and you'll most likely see a lure or technique you've not seen before. We regularly field test the very latest equipment and tackle for our sponsors and we're more than willing to share the hot set-ups and lures with you.

We're very excited about our move to the West end of the Lake in 2009. I hope you'll make plans to join us this season!

I look forward to seeing you on the water in 2009!

Wow! That's a BIG fish!

Fishing isn't just something we do. It's who we are. We live for those moments that stick with you for a lifetime. No matter if it's your first-ever fish, or a new personal-best trophy you're after, we can take you there. Whether you're after the King of a lifetime, or a whopper of a Brown, we have the knowledge, tackle, and experience to put you in position for that trophy.

We've recently decided to move our operation to the fish-rich waters of Point Breeze (Oak Orchard). We know that it's all about the fishing for you and we're committed to putting as many fish in the boat for you as we possibly can. To that end, we'll be fishing out of what we consider to be the most consistent port on the entire lake. One trip to the Oak and you'll be hooked. We're looking forward to seeing you on the West end in 2009; give us a call today to book your Lake Ontario charter!

The 2008 season produced some of the biggest Kings we've seen in recent years. We took this King off of Fair Haven while fishing the Mustad Challenge on June 28th. The 25.12lb King was the big fish of the tournament, won the Shane Zimmerman Memorial Big Fish Award, and ended up in 17th place in the 2008 Summer LOC Derby Salmon Division.

We took this 12.09 lb brown while Summer LOC Derby fishing on June 21st, 2008. When the fish hit the LOC scales it was sitting in 4th place in the brown trout division, but ended up in 20th place in the 2008 Summer LOC Brown Trout Division.

BREAKING NEWS!!

The 2008 season is behind us and we're very excited to announce that we'll be moving to the Western basin of Lake Ontario in 2009. We'll be fishing the famous Niagara Bar out of the port of Wilson in the month of May, then we'll be slipped at Oak Orchard for the remainder of the season. We'll be where the fish are in 2009. Where will you be? Give us a call today!

We're very excited to be adding this piece of equipment to the boat and we're certain that you'll be impressed with it too!
