Hey I'm Capt. Jonny, owner & operator of Random Hookups Fishing Charters. I appreciate you taking the time to check out my charter. I've grown up fishing Lake Ontario and it's tributaries. I have 8 or 9 years experience in these waters by boat. Light-tackle multi-species fishing in Irondequoit Bay is what I've grown up on, hence the fish guarantee or your trip is free. In past 6 years I dove into Salmon trolling in the lake. I hold the same fish guarantee and it's always a blast getting on those big kings. Feel free to send me a message with any questions or inquiries. Always happy to help with anything.

    Johnny will put you on the fish!!!!

    Full Day Trip • 2 adults

    Johnny is a consummate professional and an incredibly knowledgeable guide. His expertise in fish species, behavior, and local waters is impressive, and he works tirelessly to give you the best possible opportunity to target exactly what you’re hoping to catch. Beyond his knowledge, Johnny is simply a lot of fun to fish with. He keeps the day engaging by introducing different fishing techniques, exploring various locations, and adapting to the conditions to maximize success. Thanks to his guidance, we caught several different species and had an absolutely epic day on the water. If you’re looking for a guide who is hardworking, personable, and genuinely committed to helping you have a memorable fishing experience, I highly recommend Johnny. We cant wait to book with him again!!

What's biting with Random Hookups Fishing Charters in Rochester

Just like most New York ports, Rochester is all about Salmon fishing in September. It's the perfect time to catch your limit of this amazing fish and have fun doing it. The Trout bite is not slowing down either and, on longer trips, you may be able to go after both.
