Went out on Deruyter reservoir with captain Buck. We had a great time and caught some nice fish. Boat was wonderful and the equipment was top notch. We caught a bunch of largemouth bass. Captain Buck kept us on fish for the whole 6 hour trip. Captain Buck is a super nice guy and very knowledgeable of the local waters. Overall, it was a 5 star experience. I would certainly book another trip with captain Buck and hope to do so soon. Highly recommend Captain Buck

Great Day! Was too windy at the designated site and Captain Bucks experience had us meet at a different location. Good Choice. Hadn’t gone fishing for Walley in decades, I caught fish. I also learned quite a bit, new techniques, lures, and equipment. It was a great day and I will certainly be booking another event with Captain Buck. Looking forward to ice fishing, same Captain, same location, and same expected great day. I seriously recommend this, it was well worth it.

fishing was pretty slow. but captain Buck never gave up. he finally got us on fish.  lots of good stories. very knowledgeable.  great time.

Captain Buck was great; he called me up after booking to verify everything and figure out what we wanted to fish for.  Day of the trip everything went smooth, we showed up, hopped on the boat and were on the water within 5 minutes.  I had my 7 year old son along and Capt Buck hooked him right up with a rig that he was catching fish right off the start.  Rest of the trip was a blast watching my son and father catch fish; Capt Buck moved around to keep us on the fish.  Boat was a perfect setup; highly recommend!

Lucky Buck gave my wife and I a very successful, entertaining, and enjoyable day of fall fishing! Buck was very flexible and generous with his time and expertise. Our trip was in late October and the early morning temperature was expected to be below or very near freezing, so we asked Buck if we could start later than the listed 6:00 AM to allow things to warm up a bit. Buck was very flexible about the start time and agreed to let us start at 9:00 AM.
When we arrived at the boat launch Buck was ready and waiting and had already been out scouting the lake. Buck had lots of nice rods and reels already rigged and ready to go, and also had plenty of live bait (minnows) and other baits/lures. He also had the boat rigged with pan-optics and used it effectively to find and put us on fish!

I had 3 goals for the trip: (1) catch a personal best (PB) smallmouth (4 lbs or more), (2) catch my first lake trout, and (3) make sure my wife caught some fish and had an enjoyable day. Buck made sure we achieved all three goals! He worked hard and kept moving to put us on fish, and gave us excellent, detailed instructions about how to present the baits. As a result, both my wife and I caught our PB smallmouth bass - see photo’s - and we both caught our first lake trout!

We really enjoyed Buck’s stories about the local area, his life, and his experiences of a lifetime of fishing in New York and Florida. Good laughs and never a dull moment. I highly recommend a charter with Lucky Buck for a successful and enjoyable fishing experience!
