    Had a blast

    Half Day Trip: Summer on August 21, 2025 • 5 adults

    We caught plenty of fish and everyone had a great time. We caught some (in my opinion) big fish and we only missed one. The crew was friendly and helpful. We got an opportunity to test out our sea legs and learned some creative names for fishing equipment. All in all we had a fantastic time and now everyone won't stop asking me when we'll go again.

    Full Day Trip: Lake Fishing on June 28, 2025 • 4 adults

    Started the morning off and immediately had fish on the boat. We had two doubles and a triple! We caught a 27.5 pound king as well and a bunch of 15-18 pounders too! Best crew you’ll find for sure! They make it a lot of fun!

    I had a Great Time with Capt. Rich DeMong!

    Half Day Trip: Summer on September 3, 2024 • 1 adult

    I took this charter with Capt. Rich partly because I wanted to learn as much as possible about salmon fishing Lake Ontario, as well as catch some salmon. Thanks to Capt. Rich I did! He was very generous in showing me and explaining all the different gear & tackle and techniques we used. We also did catch fish, but unfortunately didn't land any, but I don't blame him for that. Note: I didn't have access to the "head" as I thought I would, so you might want to check on that beforehand.

    Top notch charter!

    Half Day Trip: Summer on August 30, 2025 • 4 adults

    I have fished with Captain Rich in the past and his charter service is fantastic! Unfortunately, on this trip we had real bad weather. He makes his clients safety and comfort a priority and canceled our trip. We certainly appreciated his decision and booked another weekend for next year.

    Great first time experience

    Half Day Trip: Summer on August 16, 2025 • 4 adults • 1 child

    Rich and Chris were very accommodating of my family’s needs. They worked hard to put us on fish and were super nice to my young nephew.. The fish may not have cooperated but this is a top notch charter!!! Hope to go again soon!

    Salmon trip with Caprain Rich DeMOng

    Half Day Trip: Spring on June 16, 2018 • 2 adults

    My wife and I went out fishing with Captain Rich on June 16, 2018, to catch king salmon out of Oswego, NY. Capt. Rich knows his stuff and put us into fish in no time. He was a pleasure to work with and put in a lot of hard work to find the salmon and bring them into the boat. We both caught 15+ pound kings and a number of smaller ones. A really great experience we will cherish for years to come. Dick I Raleigh , NC
