A Line In The Water runs guided trips out of Saratoga Springs and offers to show you what fishing in Saratoga Lake is all about. John Ernst, your guide for the day will do his best to make sure you have a fun day on the water.

Come aboard his 23’ Skeeter SX2250 bay boat that’s powered by a 200 HP Yamaha engine, and is equipped with GPS and fishfinder equipment. It can accommodate up to 5 anglers and has an ice box for any drinks you want to bring.

John specializes in light tackle fishing, all to get you on that bite. He offers half day and full day trips, mainly fishing for Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass, as well as Walleye, depending on the season and conditions on the day.

All rods, reels and terminal tackle are included in the price, just make sure to get a valid freshwater fishing license before the trip. Keep in mind that all trips are catch and release only.
