Around here, fishing is famous for Walleye, Salmon, and Lake Trout, but Smallmouth Bass is world-class; as a matter of fact, it just ranked #1 in the US.
You can target these Smallmouth by spinning, trolling, drifting, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

We did the 6 hour charter for Small and Large mouth bass with Captain Rick Mitchell out of Cape Vincent. He is a seasoned pro and took us to great spots. He had very nice equipment to use, Very nice lures to use, and outstanding electronics to navigate good fishing spots. Can't recommend him more highly. He was wonderful and we had a trip, brought home a great catch of small mouth bass, and we'll definitely do it again.
Captain Dawson was lots of fun to work with Shared his bass knowledge with us and safely zoomed us across the St Lawrence river. We learned some new techniques as well. Sadly he said the huge bass I lost .. in the air… was the largest he’s seen! Chris
Had a great time fishing Black Lake with Capt. Rick. Had a nice mixed bag of largemouth, smallmouth, and walleye. Awesome 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!
We went out on a 2 day charter with Captain Rick. I've been on a lot of charters, and this was by far the best. Captain Rick was awesome! His equipment is excellent, very comfortable boat, and had us on the fish the whole time. Will definitely be booking another trip.
