Orca Charters is run and operated by Captain Jeff Federko. Captain Jeff has been chartering Lake Ontario out of Pulaski, NY for 35 years. His experience and knowledge is unmatched and will help put more fish in the boat on a day to day basis.

The charter season on Lake Ontario starts in May when we begin to target Brown Trout on the shores of Lake Ontario. These fish come in shallow to feed and is a great time to come out and put numbers of fish in the boat.

As we move into June and July, the Lake Trout fishing on the Eastern Basin of Lake Ontario comes to life. These trips are great for those who like an action packed day. These fish range from 5 pounds all the way to 20 pounds! This time of year there are also King Salmon present and in the mix.

Once August and September hit, it is game time for King Salmon and Coho Salmon as these fish work their way into Mexico Bay before they run up the famous Salmon River. These fish are the hardest fighting freshwater fish there are, plain and simple. Come on out and check out their shear power for yourself!

At Orca Charters, we listen to our clients wants and wishes and do our best to make them come true! We strive our best to put smiles on faces each trip. Our Lake Ontario fishery is special and we would love to share that experience with you!
