If you plan on fishing in Ogdensburg, look no further than J-Rod Charters.

Come and float down the mighty Saint Lawrence River on the hunt for Walleye, Large and Small Mouth Bass, Northern Pike, and the elusive Muskellunge!

During the trip, you might be spinning, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

You're welcome to bring home any fish you catch, assuming regulations allow it. If you wish to keep your catch, cleaning will be done at the dock

Cruise and troll around on a 2019 Tracker Proguide 175 Combo outfitted with a Minkotta Talon, Minkotta trolling motor, and Lowrance GPS Fishfinder.

You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures. Live bait is included, but be sure to ask about it ahead of time so you know if you'll be catching it yourself. Anyone can bring their own gear if they would like!

You will need to gather your fishing licenses prior to the trip, which can be done online on the NYS DEC website or at the local Ogdensburg Walmart just down the road.

Don't forget to bring sunscreen (non-spray), sunglasses, and bottled water. There will be some drinks on offer, but be sure to let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. 

Many state records have been set in this water. The next one to be broken is only a cast away!

Great fishing day
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 20, 20252 adults

Had an awesome day out on the water! The boat and equipment were really clean and well-maintained. We were on the fish all day, getting tons of bites and pulled in some really nice sized walleye and smallmouth bass - we actually limited out with an hour to go. Capt Jared even cleaned our fish for us, making it super easy to take home. Definitely recommend J-Rod charters for anyone looking for a great fishing experience!

Reported catch:
Walleye

Awesome trip with a great captain!
Half Day Trip (AM) - Weekend on July 28, 20242 adults

Captain Jared was awesome! My wife and I had a great time fishing for walleye. The captain was very knowledgeable about where to go, and what to use, to target the fish that we were interested in catching. The boat was very comfortable and he had all of the fishing tackle we needed. Even though the bite was a little bit slow, we still caught a bunch of fish, including 4 walleye, a drumm, and a huge smallmouth bass. Part of the fun of the St. Lawrence is that you never know what you might hook into! We will definitely be coming back again for another trip with Captain Jared!

Walleye

Highly Recommend J-Rod Fishing Charter
Half Day Trip (AM) on June 26, 20242 adults

We had a great experience fishing with Captain Jared! He was well prepared, very knowledgeable and answered all our questions about fishing for walleye in the St. Lawrence River. Jared adjusted our trip to meet our specific objectives. We caught some walleye and smallmouth bass. We learned techniques that we can now use going forward on our own. We highly recommend a fishing trip with J-Rod.
