We would like to welcome you for an outing on
beautiful Lake Ontario. This Great Lake has
produced many New York State Record fish and
also a World Record Coho Salmon. New York
State stocks over 3.5 million Salmonoids
annually into Lake Ontario and it's tributaries.
Whether you want to catch Lake Trout, Brown
Trout, Steelhead, Coho Salmon or the GIANT
Chinook "King" Salmon you will have a great
day on Lake Ontario.

Atlantic Salmon         24Lbs 15oz       4/05/97

Fishing for us on Lake Ontario usually starts in
June because we are very busy fishing for
Trophy Striped Bass on the Hudson River from
mid April until late May.

We start our season on Lake Ontario by fishing
for Brown Trout. The Browns average 6 to 10
pounds and it's not uncommon to catch them
weighing well into the teens! The Brown Trout
fishing in Mexico Bay is excellent during this
time of the season! As the season progresses we
head out to deeper water for Salmon.
Coho Salmon and Steelhead range from 5 to 20
pounds and the Lake Trout average 10 pounds
and upward. By August, HUGE numbers of
LARGE adult KING SALMON are making their
way into Mexico Bay and staging prior to their
run up the famous Salmon River. The fishing for
these BRUTES out on the Lake usually goes on
through September. We like to see our clients get
involved with the whole fishing experience but, if
you have never fished for Kings, the best advise
anyone could give you is to sit back and relax
because when that rod releases you're in for a
battle. The first run is usually the longest one,
screaming line out 100 to 200 feet and
sometimes more. These fish average 18 to 25
pounds, and it's not uncommon to catch them in
the 30 pound class. It is also not uncommon to
have multiple hook-ups, where 2 or 3 and
sometimes all of the rods are hooked up with fish
at the same time! That's when the excitement
level gets turned up a notch or two. We have
been there many times before.

We will do our best to provide you an enjoyable
and memorable fishing experience. Having the
right Electronics, Tackle and knowledge makes a
considerable difference.

Bait, Tackle and cleaning of fish are provided on
Lake Ontario trips.

Our current Boat record for Lake Ontario is a 31
pound King Salmon. During the season the up to
date boat record will be posted on the Boat, we
do not always have the time to post the most
current record to our website on a daily basis. If
you beat the most current record aboard our
Boat, you will win a
FREE 5 Hour Charter Fishing Trip!
