Targeted Fish Species:
Lake Trout (April - September)
Spring is prime time for these deep, cold water loving trout. The beauty of fishing from Oswego, NY is we have quick access to deep water. Just a short boat ride from the dock and we are on prime fishing grounds. Lake Ontario consistently produces a high volume of Lake Trout every year with average sizes ranging from 25-35 inches. 40+ inch trout are not uncommon especially during the months of April and May. The months of June-September we move out to deeper water to stay on them. As the water warms, the fish migrate to find colder water sometimes as deep as 200-300 feet. Their ideal water temperature is approximately 48-52 degrees Fahrenheit. With an advanced fishhawk electronic system on board, we are able to find exactly where this temperature break is. Downriggers are an absolute must to allow us to achieve fishing these depths. Our Scotty downriggers are some of the best on the market and make getting lures down to these fish quick and effective. Spoons, spin n glo lures, and large paddle attractors are what we use to get you hooked up and put fish in the boat on a consistent basis.
Daily Limit: 2 per person
Brown Trout (April - July)
Immediately after the lake thaws, (ice out) comes excellent Brown Trout fishing. We operate out of Wrights Landing Marina in Oswego, NY. With that you'll be glad to know you are entering one of the greatest locations on all of Lake Ontario to have your chance at trophy class browns! In the spring they can be found in large numbers and sizes not far from the mouth of the Oswego River and surrounding tributaries. Charters for these fish are a great choice if you are looking to stay close to shore in shallow water. We primarily troll a variety of spoons and stick baits off planer boards and shallow riggers to optimize our spread and cover the largest amount of water possible. Brown Trout are aggressive, fun to catch on light tackle, and are sure to keep you coming back for more!
Daily Limit: 3 per person
King Salmon (June - September)
Hands down the most sought after and HARDEST FIGHTING fish in the lake! Nothing quite compares and takes people by surprise to the incredible power these fish have. When you hook up, get ready for the fight of your life! I can personally guarantee you will be smiling ear to ear after landing your first one. We target these Kings, also known as "Chinook" salmon as soon as they arrive in the waters just outside of Oswego. Every spring, the King Salmon migrate in from their wintering zones. Once established in the lake, they feed heavily on schools of baitfish all summer long before making their fall river run to spawn. Most will recognize the world famous Salmon River for this transition. June through mid august these salmon are spread out all over the lake keying in on the colder water. With their ideal water temperature being between 48 and 52 degrees it's not uncommon to catch a Lake Trout or two as an added bonus! Magnum size spoons and meat rigs with large paddle attractors are the name of the game during the summer months. Late August-end of September transitions to what is known as the "Staging Period". During this time frame King Salmon stage up in large schools much shallower to make their run up the rivers once conditions are right. They have fed heavily and are now at their largest size. September is an excellent time to have a shot at a fish of a lifetime!
Daily Limit: 3 per person
Steelhead "Rainbow Trout" (April - July)
While not as common to catch Steelhead in the numbers we do Salmon, they are a much welcomed bonus fish! Pound for pound these Steelhead have the ability to fight just as hard as a King or Coho Salmon. They are frequently found higher up in the 10-25 foot section of the water column feeding on baitfish during late spring into the summer months. We always spread out our rod setups throughout the column so if you hook into one of these beauties get ready... THEY'RE WILD!
Daily Limit: 2 per person
