About Your Trip

Cover a wide range of productive waters along the south shore of Lake Ontario on a multi-species trip running May 1st through September. This is a flexible, action-focused day designed to keep a rod in your hand while targeting a variety of fish based on current conditions and your goals.

You’ll have the opportunity to catch Northern Pike, Smallmouth Bass, Largemouth Bass, Walleye, Bowfin, Freshwater Drum, Crappie, and Yellow Perch, with the exact plan tailored to what’s biting best.

Trips take place across multiple fisheries between Fairhaven and Sandy Creek, including areas like Little Sodus Bay, the Oswego River and Harbor, Little Salmon River (Mexico Point), the Salmon River Estuary, Sandy Pond, and a few lesser-known spots that consistently produce. Where you fish will depend on conditions and your preferences for the day.

This is an active, hands-on trip—no sitting around waiting. You’ll be casting, working structure, and adjusting techniques throughout the day, learning how to target different species and understand how they relate to their environment.

The goal is not just to catch fish, but to help you understand how and why you’re catching them. By the end of the trip, you’ll walk away with a better feel for the techniques and patterns used to consistently put fish in the boat—and the satisfaction of knowing you earned every one of them.

Captain Michael and his team pride themselves on local knowledge and adaptability—reading water, tracking fish movement, and making real-time adjustments to stay on the bite. The goal is simple: put you in the best position to catch fish and make sure you have a solid, enjoyable day on the water.

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to thousands of quality, vetted fishing, hunting, and other outdoor sports guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.

After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
