Smallies Aboard!! in the Saint Lawrence.
Half Day Trip – Afternoon on August 11, 20262 adults

Fished an afternoon/evening and a morning trip with Zach. I've fished with other guides that fished along with me but Zach after I offered for him to join in was more interested in just guiding and getting me on some fish. River fishing is much different than lake as you have different currents to deal with. My wife came along for the ride which was nice. all in all I was able to land 13 small mouth Bass ranging from 1-1/2 to 3-1/2 or so pounds. Enjoyed the experience and may get together for some large mouth fishing in the spring.

Wonderful 4 hours of fun on a very nice boat with Zack. He did everything he could to make sure we had a good experience. We were three on the trip and we all caught fish and we all had a great time.

What a great day. Zack took us from cape vincent way out into the lake (it was a very calm day - perfect conditions) and we definitely found the fish. We probably caught 20, with several in the 5 plus range! He was very knowledgeable and took care of everything. Highly recommend Zack!

Half Day Trip – Afternoon on November 12, 20252 adults

Mid-November in Clayton, NY, served up a seriously dank windy day, but Captain Zack was unfazed! This guy is a warrior. He stayed tough and somehow put me on THE TWO BIGGEST SMALLMOUTH BASS I HAVE EVER caught by far! Smooth ride in his excellent Ranger boat with top-tier gear. If you want a guide who delivers monsters regardless of the weather, book Zack!
