  Great Day on Cayuga Lake!

  4 Hour Trip – Lake Trout/Perch on September 7, 2026 • 2 adults

  Beautiful morning on the lake. Captain Steve treated us like royalty. His gear and boat were clean and organized. We headed out and caught 2 nice lake trout. He found the fish quickly and guided our execution with a lot of tips and tricks to get them hooked and in the boat. Were new to lake trout so our technique needed some help or we’d have caught more. We found Captain Steve to be friendly and had great conversations. We look forward to booking with him again next year!

  Top 10 trip!

  6 Hour Trip – Lake Trout/Perch on July 29, 2026 • 2 adults

  55 years old been fishing for at least 50 of them. l’ve had a lot of experiences but this was different. Bass fisherman that wanted to try something else. He answered a never ending line of questions while teaching a friend and I how to catch lakers. We caught many, we also fished for perch and caught a bundle using a technique that I was aware of but never tried. He is not the average guide. It was more like fishing with your brother you haven’t seen in years with above average intelligence and fishing skills. Oh yeah, he doesn’t charge to filet the fish. I could go on. Tip him well as he doesn’t charge enough for this experience… Thank you Captain Steve. see you again soon. Brad

  4 Hour Trip – Lake Trout/Perch on June 29, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

  I sent my husband and teenage son on this trip as a Birthday/ Fathers day gift for my husband. Its about 2 hours from where we live, but it was absolutely worth the effort. My husband praised the captain's professionalism, knowledge, and skill. He also said he was just generally a nice guy. Husband and son were thrilled to catch 5 beautiful, big lake trout, which were professionally cleaned by the captain and sent home on ice, so we could have a fresh fish dinner! There's nothing quite like spending a few hours on the lake with someone who clearly knows what theyre doing.

  It was a pleasure to get your son and husband on the water for the day. Continue to enjoy the fish until the next trip.
