Experience Adventure With Our Finger Lakes Fishing Charters
Finger Lakes Sport fishing with Frontenac Fowlers
Picture this: It’s a slightly dark, brisk Summer morning. Standing on the dock, cup of coffee in hand, you await the arrival of the vessel that is to take you on your morning fishing adventure.
You gaze over the seemingly still waters before boarding the boat. You take notice of the fishing rods…they are already pre-set for you. As you settle in, your eyes catch a glimpse of something else, a small cooler, ready and waiting for your prized fish. Determination sets in.
The safety orientation begins, you listen carefully, not wanting anything to hinder what you and your party are about to embark on. As the safety orientation draws to an end, you take one last swig of your coffee.
The boat sets sail. It’s “go-time” aboard the “Paddles Up” sport fishing fleet!

Wide Variety of Gamefish
What’s so exciting about Finger Lakes fishing is the incredible diversity of freshwater species just waiting to be caught. Depending on the time of year and location, you could hook into:
Lake Trout: Also known as Mackinaw, these are the apex predators of the deep. They are brilliant fighters that can reach 25+ pounds.
Landlocked Salmon: These are feisty fish that return to spawn each fall. Their succulent rich red flesh makes them excellent table fare.
Brown Trout: Wily and acrobatic, these mid-size trout are a classic sportfish.
Rainbow Trout: This scrappy trout is beloved by anglers of all ages. Young specimens in the 1-3 pound range abound.
Small and Largemouth Bass: Punchy topwater action awaits when you’re chasing these perennial favorites on points and weedlines.
Walleye: This prized panfish, famous for its white, flaky fillets, is best caught after dark.
Northern Pike: An ambush predator, so be sure to test your drag with toothy strikes from shadowy depths.
Pan Fish: Bluegill, pumpkinseed, perch, and crappie provide plenty of fun when numbers are biting.
And those are just the favorites! On any given day, you could encounter unusual bycatch like muskellunge, carp or catfish, too. The diversity guarantees you’ll bring home a fine supper, along with some unforgettable memories.
Guided Fishing Trips
We understand that not every angler fishes for the fight – many love enjoying nature’s beauty from the water. That’s why our Finger Lakes fishing charter service is more than just time spent fishing.
Enjoy the relaxing peace and quiet as you sail past scenic cliffs and vineyards, or pause for a while among lily pads thick with great blue herons and waterfowl. Feel free to linger and take it all in while you learn about the local ecology from your guide. Along the way, you might see bald eagles soaring, dam-building beavers, or otters playing – there’s always a surprise around the next corner in these amazing unspoiled places.
Memories to Last a Lifetime
There’s simply no better way to spend a morning, afternoon, or full-day than discovering the thrill of Finger Lakes fishing. Time on the water with family and friends lets you freshen your perspective, challenge yourself, strengthen family bonds, and more. So, what are you waiting for? Start planning your unforgettable fishing charter adventure. You’ll be glad you did!
Bounty from the Boat
Of course, every freshwater fishing fan hopes to bring home a great catch. That’s why all our fishing charter trips include an insulated cooler to keep your catches fresh until it’s time to clean and cook them. Some folks also like to keep a second cooler on board for snacks, meals, and liquid refreshments to enjoy during the outing.
Indulge in a Shore Lunch or Dinner
For an additional $50 per person, you can upgrade any charter to include a shore lunch or dinner. Picture salmon or peppered trout sandwiches with coleslaw on a sandy beach. Or savor a shoreline fry with potatoes, corn and all the fixings after a morning of battling bass and ‘eyes.
