Meet Captain Forrest Beacraft

USCG-Licensed Captain & Lake Ontario Sport Fishing Specialist

Forrest Beacraft grew up with a passion for the open waters of Lake Ontario, spending countless hours studying the lake's intricate currents, seasonal shifts, and deep-water fish behaviors. What began as a lifelong love for sport fishing naturally evolved into a dedicated career as a USCG-licensed captain. Over the years, Captain Forrest has earned a reputation across the regional fishing community as a patient, skilled, and highly capable expert who approaches every day on the lake with genuine enthusiasm and meticulous preparation.


Rather than relying purely on guesswork or routine, Captain Forrest brings a strategic, analytical mindset to every charter. He continually tracks changing thermoclines, bait movements, and real-time weather patterns across Lake Ontario's eastern basin to locate active schools of fish. His approach combines traditional Great Lakes fishing knowledge with modern sonar data, ensuring that whether the lake is calm or presenting tricky conditions, his guests are always positioned for a productive and rewarding experience on the water.


Above all, Captain Forrest values the relationships built on the deck and takes immense pride in creating a welcoming, stress-free environment for anglers of all skill levels. From guiding first-time families and young kids through their very first salmon hookup to helping seasoned anglers fine-tune their trolling techniques, his patient, friendly coaching style puts everyone at ease. For Captain Forrest, a successful day isn’t just measured by the weight of the catch, but by the smiles, shared laughs, and lasting memories made along the way.
