Thank you for inquiring about GOOD TIME CHARTERS. Let me tell you about some of the services we offer:
 


 

 

TROUT,  SALMON & WALLEYES

 

We offer traditional Lake Ontario trolling for Trout, Salmon and Walleyes. Our 24' Bayliner Hardtop carries all the equipment needed to pursue these fantastic game fish. We carry the finest tackle available, 4 downriggers, outriggers, planner boards, modern Lowrance sonar, Garmin mapping GPS, temperature sensing devices, trolling engine, VHF radio, cell phone, and of course all safety equipment. We also offer combination charters of Trout and Salmon and Smallmouth Bass/Walleye fishing. Let us help you catch that memory! We are different from most other charter services, for we can customize our services to meet your needs and desires. As a licensed charter captain for 25 years and over 50 years of boating experience, I will do my best to show you a GOOD TIME. Give us a try!

 

 

A bit of what to expect in New York and Chaumont Bay:

Fishing on Lake Ontario is truly a unique experience. For the most part, the day will be spent trolling with rods placed in rodholders attached to the vessel itself. Lines will be carefully attached to releases far off the sides of the vessel on outriggers or planing boards, or at various depths under the surface using downriggers. Four to ten lines will be run simultaneously. Advanced video sonar and temperature sensing equipment will help locate the best water and depth to fish. You'll be anxiously watching the rods for the next strike. As you briskly grab the rod and set the hook, the rest is up to you. Your battle may be over in ten minutes, or could last more than an hour. You'll get plenty of opportunity to develop or refine your skills. I'll be glad to share my experience and knowledge with you. Please feel free to ask questions. Though we catch them a lot larger and some even smaller, trout ranging from three to sixteen pounds, and salmon in the fifteen to thirty pound class are common. Trolling and drifting is the norm for Bass.  Bass range from 1-4 pounds.  Fishing can be a GREAT way to spend a day and I will try to ensure a "GOOD TIME" on the water.
