If you are looking for a premier charter fishing operation, look no further. We operate out of Rochester NY on the Genesee River. The month of May we are located in Olcott NY at Newfane Marina.
 
Lake Ontario is a world class fishery for trophy King Salmon, Coho Salmon, occasionally an Atlantic Salmon, Steelhead, Brown Trout, and Lake Trout.

We welcome children aboard, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Don't forget to bring snacks and beverages for a boost of energy when needed!

You'll be trolling from a 31' Baha Cruiser Sportfisherman named 'MissDemeanor'. The MissD can legally take up to 6 passengers. It comes with Cannon Downriggers and all the latest and greatest in fishing electronics. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. The MissD has updated engines. The Mercruiser 383 stroker motors make for a comfortable ride and the ability to get where the fish reside.

  The MissD is loaded with the best tackle money can buy. All tackle is provided and maintained with attention to detail. You won't be fishing with junky equipment.
  There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. Mates often work for tips and it's customary to offer them a 10–20% tip.

All guests, 16 years old and older, will need to buy a NY State Fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain.
Ask about fishing derbies or tournaments. There are several throughout the summer
A few items to bring include sunscreen (non-spray), bottled water, and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
  Even though Marijuana is decriminalized in NY State, there are no THC products, or any illegal drugs allowed aboard.
  For more information, message Capt. Matt
