Our Captain John was a pleasure to talk to. He was also knowledgeable in his craft. The overall time was well spent my group loves fishing and this experience is definitely worth trying.

    Unforgettable 16th birthday charter!

    Half Day Trip (AM)5 adults

    We booked a charter with A Line in the Water for my son’s 16th birthday, and it was an absolutely fantastic trip! Everyone in our group had a great time, and more importantly, we all caught fish. I really loved being able to give my son an experience out on the water that I know he will treasure for years to come. Captain John was absolutely top-notch. He was exceptionally knowledgeable, attentive to everyone on board, and helped us every step of the way. I 100% recommend A Line in the Water to anyone looking to book a charter on Saratoga Lake. You will not be disappointed!

    worth the trip from California

    Full Day Trip2 adults

    What a great day! Captain John put us on fish all day. We landed more than we could count! He had everything we needed to make our vacation to New York from California rewarding and memorable. He was a good coach helping us fine tune our technique. When he tells you to cast in a particular spot, do it. How did he know there was a fish right there, in that exact location?!?! Book a day with John Ernst and you won’t be disappointed.
