Make some memories in Homer and go fishing with Red Beard’s Finger Lakes Charters. Captain Stanley will be your guide, bringing aboard years of sportfishing experience.
Species like Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Spotted Bass, Brown Trout, Lake Trout, Yellow Perch, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), and more could be biting if you come at the right time of year. During the trip you might be light tackle fishing, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board. Snacks are also a good idea to stay fueled throughout your trip!
Capt. Stanley operates a 20’ StarCraft deck boat that holds up to 4 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but you should ask the captain whether you’ll be catching it yourself.
Before coming aboard, it will be necessary to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.
Don’t leave home without sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

5 Hour Trip – Multispecies (AM)
I recently booked a fishing charter and couldn’t be happier with the experience. We caught a variety of fish throughout the trip, which kept things exciting from start to finish. The captain was both fun and incredibly knowledgeable, sharing tips and insights that taught us a lot about fishing and the local waters. It was especially memorable spending the day with my father and father-in-law—something we’ll all be talking about for a long time. If you’re looking for a charter that’s equal parts educational and just plain fun, I highly recommend this crew.

We had an amazing day with Captain Redbeard! We caught a slew of perch and bass, and we also enjoyed swimming off the boat. He was great with our son, and just an all around terrific guide who went out his way to make sure we were all having fun. Would recommend 100%!
