Lucky Buck Fishing Charters

Chittenango, United States

25+ reviews

At the age of 21, I began fishing the Florida Keys with my own commercial boats, ranging from a 16' vessel to a 43' diesel-powered fishing machine. I've encountered a huge variety of species, including Goliath Grouper, Snowy Grouper, Black Grouper, Yellowtail Snapper, and plenty more. I then moved back to New York State to become a charter fisherman. I really enjoy taking people out on the water and teaching them my skills, while also learning some of their tricks along the way! We troll and target Trout in up to 180 feet of water, as well as other freshwater favorites such as Smallmouth Bass, Perch, and Walleye.

Why Did I Wait So Long ??
6 hour trip 1-2 person on June 20, 2026 • 2 adults
Great Day! Was too windy at the designated site and Captain Bucks experience had us meet at a different location. Good Choice. Hadn't gone fishing for Walley in decades, I caught fish. I also learned quite a bit, new techniques, lures, and equipment. It was a great day and I will certainly be booking another event with Captain Buck. Looking forward to ice fishing, same Captain, same location, and same expected great day. I seriously recommend this, it was well worth it.

Fishing was a little slow but the captain was entertaining. We did catch some nice Lake Trout and few Smallies. Silky followed us throughout the day and had a few snacks. Great day on the water!

Great time
6 Hour Trip (AM) (1-2 anglers) on June 28, 2024 • 3 adults • 1 child
Captain Buck was great; he called me up after booking to verify everything and figure out what we wanted to fish for. Day of the trip everything went smooth, we showed up, hopped on the boat and were on the water within 5 minutes. I had my 7 year old son along and Capt Buck hooked him right up with a rig that he was catching fish right off the start. Rest of the trip was a blast watching my son and father catch fish; Capt Buck moved around to keep us on the fish. Boat was a perfect setup; highly recommend!
