Finhooker Charters is located in Mexico, NY, and offers to show you a memorable time in these waters.

Capt. Michael will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. This involves 6 to 12-hour trips, mainly fishing for Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout, Lake Trout, and Salmon, depending on the season and conditions on the day. On these trips you can expect to primarily troll for your targets.

Your fishing adventure starts on a 27’ Penn Yan boat that can safely take up to 6 anglers. This boat comes with a toilet and ice box.

All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. Please make sure to buy a valid fishing license ahead of time. The crew will clean and fillet your catch for you to take home at the end of the trip.

Book your trip now and hit the water with Finhooker Charters.
