    Had a blast

    Half Day Trip: Summer • 5 adults

    We caught plenty of fish and everyone had a great time. We caught some (in my opinion) big fish and we only missed one. The crew was friendly and helpful. We got an opportunity to test out our sea legs and learned some creative names for fishing equipment. All in all we had a fantastic time and now everyone won't stop asking me when we'll go again.

    Reported catch:
    Salmon
    Rainbow Trout (Steelhead)
    Response from Captain

    We are glad you had a great time, making memories is what I pride my business on!! It was our pleasure having you and your family onboard, and look forward to having onboard in the future!!

    I had a Great Time with Capt. Rich DeMong!

    Half Day Trip: Summer • 1 adult

    I took this charter with Capt. Rich partly because I wanted to learn as much as possible about salmon fishing Lake Ontario, as well as catch some salmon. Thanks to Capt. Rich I did! He was very generous in showing me and explaining all the different gear & tackle and techniques we used. We also did catch fish, but unfortunately didn't land any, but I don't blame him for that. Note: I didn't have access to the "head" as I thought I would, so you might want to check on that beforehand.

    Reported catch:
    Salmon

    Rich and Chris were very accommodating of my family’s needs. They worked hard to put us on fish and were super nice to my young nephew.. The fish may not have cooperated but this is a top notch charter!!! Hope to go again soon!

    Started the morning off and immediately had fish on the boat. We had two doubles and a triple! We caught a 27.5 pound king as well and a bunch of 15-18 pounders too! Best crew you’ll find for sure! They make it a lot of fun!

    Mother nature gave us cold clear water, which made the inshore fishing very tough. We were able to get a couooe browns and some atlantics in there. We moved ofdshore and found some cohos, atlantics and lakers that wanted to play!! With temps starting to rise, the fishing with really turn on!!

    My wife and I went out fishing with Captain Rich on June 16, 2018, to catch king salmon out of Oswego, NY. Capt. Rich knows his stuff and put us into fish in no time. He was a pleasure to work with and put in a lot of hard work to find the salmon and bring them into the boat. We both caught 15+ pound kings and a number of smaller ones. A really great experience we will cherish for years to come. Dick I Raleigh , NC

What's biting with NY Guide Service in Oswego

Experienced anglers should head into the Salmon River to try their luck against Steehlead. Looking to hook Walleye? There's no better fishery than Oneida Lake.
