My wife and I booked a charter on Cayuga Lake with Captain Steve and had an incredible experience. We were visiting for the week and wanted to target some of the local speciesโespecially lake trout. Within minutes of dropping our first line, we were already catching fish!
Weโve been on charters all over the country, and I would easily place Captain Steve in the top 5%. His knowledge of the lake and the fishery was outstanding, and he was attentive to every detailโright down to letting us choose between spinning or baitcasting gear. Heโs patient, an excellent coach, and clearly passionate about what he does.
The boat, an 18-foot Lund, was comfortable and perfectly suited for this style of fishing. From the very start, it was obvious how much Captain Steve loves his work, and that energy carried through the entire day.
Highly recommended!

The two of you were a pleasure to have and made my job fun and easy. I hope you enjoy the Rainbow and Lake trout. Tight lines.
The fact that not a single fish was caught, but that I would book with Captain Steven should speak volumes of the positive experience that he provided. The weather was surprisingly miserable, windy and cold for the end of August, but Captain Steven still provided an amazing time; especially so with my 13yo son. He took the time to answer all of his questions (of which there were many) and really tried his best to make things happen, but it just wasnโt our day. Regardless, I was thrilled at the lessons that he was able to provide to my son and we had a great time on the lake nonetheless. I HIGHLY recommend booking with him if you are looking to have a great experience on the lake.

It sure was some miserable weather that day. Even thought the weather and fishing were a challenge; being able to share knowledge and get your dog and family out made it a very good day in my book.
Drove up from Kentucky to catch perch and lake trout.ย Lost count of the perch and caught a good size lake trout.ย All due to great guide services. I would and will be recommending to everyone I know.ย
Steven was very knowledgeable, having 25 years of experience fishing the finger lakes. He taught technical fishing and tackle, how to target each species, and helped me understand the fish finder better ( I just bought my own and Iโm learning it.)
Boat was nice, clean and well stocked with tackle, water and soda if needed.ย Steven was welcoming, friendly and great guide and teacher.ย Book him for a great trip!

I am happy you were able to walk away with an enjoyable experience and some more knowledge to be a better fisher.
My son and I traveled from MD to Cayuga lake near Ithaca to fish before we headed over to Cooperstown for a baseball tournament.ย Our experience was top notch with Fish Pimpin Guide Service.ย We fished a 4 hr trip and were fishing the entire time, the boat was perfect to fish any and everywhere and was comfortable to sit and cast or stand and move around.ย Steven was super knowledgeable and gave us a lot of good tips and tricks for fishing the finger lakes.ย We had a great day on the water targeting trout and perch.ย We hope to book future trips with him on our return trips to the region to fish.

You two were a pleasure to have and I am very glad I was able to get yโall on the water. I know you will do great at Cooperstown in the tournament.
Captain Steve was informative, personable, knowledgeable and helpful with the catch. We would recommend fishing with Captain Steve to anyone.
I look forward to our next trip out in the fall!
