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!

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!

Captain Rick did a great job working in tough conditions to try to find and catch fish. His boat is a really good fit for the river and lake with plenty of space to fish comfortably. As someone who has fished the river a long time but wanted to learn more, he openly shared techniques and spots that have worked for him that I’ll definitely try on future visits. I’d definitely go again!

Had a great time fishing Black Lake with Capt. Rick. Had a nice mixed bag of largemouth, smallmouth, and walleye. Awesome time.
