Sackets and Henderson Harbors have some world-class fishing so let us take you out for some fun. This charter is geared towards families, veterans, first responders, and retirees. The cruise includes a Captain and gas so you have no surprise charges.
Nearly all of our fishing is "catch and release" so typically you will not be bringing any fish home. Bring an ice chest if you want to bring home your bass and perch.
Your Captain has fished these waters for multiple decades so it is a very rare day that we catch no fish.
Local species we target include Smallmouth Bass, Yellow Perch, and Northern Pike. We will even use worms to catch lots of 3-4 inch Gobies if you have small children and want them to have a lot of action.
You are encouraged to bring your own gear including your own rod, reel, and lures. If you have no gear, we will provide some limited light rods, reels, and lures free of charge. On the day of your trip we will likely troll the shorelines and around the islands using light tackle. We may also anchor and use live bait. We DO NOT go out 15 miles chasing Lake Trout or Salmon. There are other great charters for that type of fishing.
Our boat is a 20' Center console with capacity for 3 fishermen. We may be able to also accommodate a spectator.
Fishermen and fisherwomen aged 16 and over will need a New York State fishing license so buy that online before your cruise date. Go to the New York State Dept of Environmental Conservation (DEC) website for details. It is pretty fast and easy. You can also buy licenses at Walmart and many bait shops.
You are encouraged to bring bottled water, sunglasses, sunblock (non-aerosol). Beer and white wine is allowed in moderation. No hard liquor, red wine or glass bottles. No drugs (including marijuana) since we are always subject to stop and search by the U.S Coast Guard and they go by Federal and not State laws.
