Gerald Slack is a dedicated fishing guide with over four decades of experience on the water. His passion for fishing began at a young age, learning from his grandfather and quickly developing a lifelong appreciation for the sport. That early introduction sparked a journey that has taken Gerald through various stages of recreational and professional angling, including years of boat ownership and hands-on time with different fishing vessels. Today, he brings that knowledge to every charter, creating a reliable and enjoyable experience for guests on Lake Ontario.
With a calm, instructional approach, Gerald is known for making anglers feel welcome, no matter their skill level. From first-timers to seasoned pros, guests benefit from his clear communication, practical guidance, and deep understanding of fish behavior and seasonal movement. He focuses on making each outing productive and enjoyable while helping guests build their own confidence and fishing ability.
Gerald’s experience covers a wide range of techniques, including trolling, light tackle, and heavy tackle fishing. He adjusts each trip based on guest preferences and conditions on the water, whether targeting Chinook Salmon in deeper areas or running lighter gear for Rainbow Trout. His flexible style ensures every group has a chance to learn, engage, and land quality fish during their trip.
Fishing with Gerald takes place aboard his 33-foot Tiara Cruiser—restored in 2023 and powered by twin 350HP Crusader engines. This comfortable vessel cruises up to 30 knots, making it easy to reach productive fishing grounds efficiently. With space for up to six guests, the boat offers ample room, dependable equipment, and a stable platform to fish from. Outfitted with modern amenities and all necessary safety gear, Gerald’s Tiara Cruiser provides a dependable setup for a rewarding day on Lake Ontario.
