    Half day with Captain Barry

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 1 adult

    Very well prepared, worked hard to find the fish and was very knowledgeable. It was a great experience overall. I caught Salmon for the first time which made it a totally successful trip

    Reported catch:
    Chinook Salmon
    Response from Captain

    Thanks Roger, We shouldn't have had to work that hard to catch fish! But, we can't control the weather and what she did to the water temperature! It's hard to get back on them when the water temperature flips 2 days before and you have 40-45 degree water everywhere but the top 15-20' of water!

    This was a no catch trip.. which is always disappointing but happens, we were disappointed as we stayed the same location basically for 4 hrs and only 2 so called bites as we would of gladly loved to have tried another area for a different target of fish.. we were game for any species of fish as long as we caught and one comment that got us was well since we had no luck here my next group will definitely be more inshore.. anyways we fish alot and yes some are new species being targeted but any catch is better than no catch..

What's biting with Schultz Sportfishing Charter in Buffalo

Rainbow Trout are the main act on Lake Erie, along with some Jumbo Perch. The Musky season usually closes by the end of the month, but you can still catch plenty of Lake and Brown Trout when fishing Lake Ontario.
