Berger Ops. Fishing® 

Message me for short notice trips!😎

Schedule a trip with Captain Curtis; an Insured, New York State Licensed Fishing & Boating Guide, New York State Public Vessel, Joint Pilot & Engineer, Coast Guard Licensed Master Captain 25 Ton, and FCC Licensed Commercial Marine Radio Operator. I specialize in smallmouth bass fishing charters on the St. Lawrence River and have a deep passion for aquatic life management in general. I read the books, I study the water, I watch the fish, and I want to share what I know. There is no greater thrill for me than to put you on the fish you’ve been dreaming of.

My boat is a 2024 19ft custom built Prodigy Marsh Tough aluminum center console built to guide and fully equipped with everything you need to stay safe, catch fish, and have a good time.

You can rest assured that you’re coming aboard an extremely well equipped boat with a well educated captain who is going to provide industry leading tact, professionalism and guidance. I take a LOT of pride in making sure you learn something, have a blast of a time, and leave feeling confident that your hard earned money was well spent no matter how many fish you catch. Although a catch is never guaranteed, you should come with high expectations.
