We had decided ahead of time to go out for Lake Trout in the morning with the option to switch over for Perch or maybe troll a little for rainbows if wanted. We mainly stayed in the shallower depths and Stan found the trout hanging out there. We jigged for Lakers and ended up boating 4 nice trout (one brownie) and losing 4 after they popped the hook. We ended up doing the jigging for the entire trip because Captain Stan kept us right on top of the trout and there’s no better place to fish than... More

Had a great experience fishing Lake Cayuga on the afternoon of Aug. 17, catching four keepers (three lake trout and a beautiful rainbow) and smaller rainbows and landlocked salmon.  Captain Stanley was great company, very patient guiding us through our first experience with a downrigger and full of useful information about local fishing opportunities.  Highly recommended!  Eric and Max Schaeffer, Jesse Kenworthy, visiting from Takoma Park, MD.

We had a great time with Stan and Joe on our last-minute trip on Cayuga Lake.

We had an amazing day with Captain Redbeard! We caught a slew of perch and bass, and we also enjoyed swimming off the boat. He was great with our son, and just an all around terrific guide who went out his way to make sure we were all having fun. Would recommend 100%!

Really easy going ride, but still always chasing the bite.  I liked that Stanley would let me tend my own line, but jump in if I had a tangle or something.  Hooked some really nice trout and played at perch a bit.  Really nice day, exactly what I was looking for.
