Lucky Buck Fishing Charters – Skaneateles 

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!

Buck worked hard to put us on fish, and his knowledge of the lake worked to our advantage. We hit our limit on lake trout and took a few bass and perch as well. All in all a great experience

Captain Buck hosted one of the most enjoyable fishing days my son and I have have. Captain Buck exemplifies the reasons for fishing with a guide. His knowledge of the sport, willingness to share, and especially his knowledge of the lake were the reasons for the exceptional day. My son and I plan to return in big part because of our time with Buck. We caught many fish and a variety of species. I would highly recommend a day with Captain Buck!!!

Passionate about fishing, charismatic and energetic, Lucky Buck is excellent company. He ran a terrific trip.

Great experience fishing with Captain Buck!

We primarily targeted Lake Trout, and caught many. Buck shared many effective tips which you’ll not get on You Tube. A great day on the lake!!!

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!
