Fall Fishing

We use two different boats depending on the time of year and where the fishing is the best. Typically we are running the smaller boat (22 OceanPro Hewescraft) from Late March into May out of the Salmon River Lighthouse Marina, and the bigger boat (31 Tiara) out of the Port of Oswego from mid May to the end of August. Then back to the smaller boat and the Salmon River for September and early October.
The cost of a trip depends how many in your group and what boat you will be fishing on. These are private trips, it will only be you, your group and the captain on the boat on your trip. When you book you are reserving the boat and captain for that specific morning or evening of fishing. See the rates on the rates page.
If you are interested in reserving a day of fishing or would like more information on what we offer give us a CALL at 315-529-4204. Also please feel free to TEXT us at 315-529-4204 if your call is not answered. We do require a deposit of $100 a day to lock in your reservation. For your convenience you can use PayPal, Venmo or check to secure your day of fishing. We can also set up a time to talk, discuss the trip, and answer any questions you may have. I look forward to showing you and your group the best cold water fishery on the east coast!
Thanks,

Lake Ontario Trips
Summer
Fishing on Lake Ontario for king salmon normally goes from June through August. This is some of the best action of the year as the fish are big and hard fighting. The bag limit is three per person, and king salmon average around twenty pounds! We are trolling with down riggers and targeting these fish in deep water.

Lake Ontario Trips
Spring
Lake Ontario fishing typically starts early April and goes through May. This is the time for big lake brown trout near shore. We target these fish by trolling a large spread of spoons and stick bait. The action is fast; multiple hooks are sometimes the norm. These browns are some of the best eating fish, with a bag limit of three per person.
