    One of the better smallmouth trips

    4 Hour Trip (Mid-Morning) • 3 adults

    Our guide knew the water like the back of his hand. We left the dock, ten minutes later we were catching big bass. Guide was personable and easy to talk to.

    Reported catch:
    Smallmouth Bass

    A First-Class Experience with Waddington Bass Fishing Guide

    Rick's professionalism and knowledge of bass fishing are second to none. He took the time to explain different techniques and strategies, making sure we were equipped to target the big ones. His insight into the local waters of Waddington, as well as the best fishing spots, meant we were in the right place at the right time. The boat was well-maintained, comfortable, and fully stocked with all the gear we needed. It was clear that Rick takes pride in providing top-quality service, and it really showed in every detail. The fishing was fantastic! We managed to hook into some impressive bass throughout the day, and Rick was there to offer expert guidance, whether it was adjusting baits or helping with the cast. Beyond the fishing itself, Rick’s easygoing nature and engaging personality made the trip even more enjoyable. The conversations, combined with the stunning scenery, made the experience feel like a perfect getaway. I couldn’t recommend Waddington Bass Fishing Guide enough. If you’re looking for a fun, productive, and hassle-free day on the water, Rick Mitchell is the guy to call. I’m already looking forward to the next trip!

    Did a 4 hour trip starting 6:30 am. Rick tried to get us out on the St Lawrence but the wind was awful the week we were there. We opted for Black lake and it did not disappoint! We caught 18 fish! Smallies, large mouth and huge crappies! He pitted the girls against the guys, playfully of course, and the women came out the winners! Fun was had my all and Rick was attentive and knowledgeable. Thank you! We'd love to see you in Florida for those peacock bass!

    We did the 6 hour charter for Small and Large mouth bass with Captain Rick Mitchell out of Cape Vincent. He is a seasoned pro and took us to great spots. He had very nice equipment to use, Very nice lures to use, and outstanding electronics to navigate good fishing spots. Can't recommend him more highly. He was wonderful and we had a trip, brought home a great catch of small mouth bass, and we'll definitely do it again.

    Captain Rick is very knowledgeable of the Waddington area of the St Lawrence and he put us on top of the small mouth and large mouth which is exactly what we were looking for. Great teacher, great company and great time.

    Captain Dawson was lots of fun to work with Shared his bass knowledge with us and safely zoomed us across the St Lawrence river. We learned some new techniques as well. Sadly he said the huge bass I lost .. in the air… was the largest he’s seen! Chris

    Had a fun day fishing with CAPT Rick. He is very knowledgeable, has a great boat, and excellent gear. Although we didn’t catch any fish today, our guide tried very hard taking us to different spots and switching bait and a lures to include live bait. We had a beautiful day on the river and would jump at the opportunity to do it as again. Afternoon well spent.
