A. Fine morning on Cayuga Lake with a fine Captain

5 Hour Trip – Lake Trout Jigging AM4 adults1 child

Our party were four including my six-year-old grandson and his parents and myself. Stan was very agreeable to tailoring the trip to our interest. We wanted to learn how to do jigging for Lake Trout and salmon and learn something about perch fishing. We started out by trolling to locate the fish and then went back to jig for them. The fish were persnickety and didn’t go after our jigging lures and Stan was more than happy to switch back to trolling for the last hour of our trip. We got two very nice five and 6 pound fish in that last hour of fishing. And Stan made sure to show us the rig for perch fishing that he finds the best and to show us how he locates places to go after them. Stan made sure that my grandson had a good time and Stan was a great fishing, buddy. We were more than satisfied with our outing.

    Fantastic trip

    5 Hour Trip – Lake Trout Jigging AM • 3 adults • 1 child

    Booked a half day for my son, 12 year old grandson, and myself. Asked to try for lake trout, be sure my grandson caught some fish, learn about trolling, jigging, and the tech, and catch some perch if possible. Captain Stan delivered on all, patient and efficient, and explained all in detail. And was great with the 12 year old. We caught 4 nice lake trout trolling, including a 33 inch fat lunker. And we caught a delicious bag of perch jigging. A life experience for the 12 year old. Smoking the trout filets, and enjoying the salted Cayuga caviar with a martini.

    Good day

    Always a Family Bonding Experience

    5 Hour Trip – Lake Trout Jigging AM • 4 adults

    Stan was a most pleasant personality. Explained to those of my crew who have not fished much what to do, answered our questions and provided all the needed help with booking up bait when I was wimpy in the early morning cold air to get my hands wet to grab a minnow. Started with perch cause that’s what was hitting, but showed us how to troll for the Lake trout for an hour and we landed one whopper which our new fisherman in the group got to crank in. Would recommend him to anyone. He obviously does this cause he loves it and to get buy. He’s not out to price gouge anyone.

    Fun trip.

    5 Hour Trip – Lake Trout Jigging AM • 4 adults

    My family had lots of fun with Cpt Stanley. We caught lots of lake trout and a few salmon and rainbow trout. Cpt Stanley showed us several fishing techniques and let us choose what we wanted to use. He worked hard to ensure we were having a good time and catching fish. This trip is good for kids big and small. We would recommend and will look forward to fishing with Cpt Stanley again.
