Great Day on the Water

Fishing with Rick Mitchell was an awesome experience! He knows the Waddington area like the back of his hand and had us on bass within minutes. Super friendly, patient, and passionate about what he does. The boat was comfortable and well-equipped, and the whole trip was smooth and fun from start to finish. Highly recommend if you’re looking for big bass and a great time!

Action-Packed Day on the St. Lawrence with Capt. Rick!

Fishing with Rick Mitchell out of Cape Vincent was a fantastic experience. He put us right on the smallmouth, and the bite stayed hot from start to finish. Rick’s knowledge of the river and fish behavior made all the difference, and his easygoing style made the day even better. The boat was in great shape, and the scenery was unbeatable. A must-do trip for any bass angler!

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.

Smallmouth Slam in Chippewa Bay with Capt. Rick!

He had us on solid smallmouth action from the start, targeting rocky structures and weed edges with precision. Rick’s knowledge of the area was impressive, and he made sure we were comfortable and catching fish throughout the day. The scenery along the St. Lawrence was stunning, and the bite was hot—definitely a trip I’ll be talking about for a long time!
