Trip Summary

Our corner (Eastern Basin) of Lake Ontario has a diversity of fish that is unmatched anywhere else on the lake! One of the most reputable fish in the Eastern Basin, is the Smallmouth Bass! Its the fish that made Henderson Harbor famous and the smallies are making a tremendous comeback with not only higher volumes of "fish caught", but larger than normal smallies! Bass fishermen used to get excited over a 4-5 lb smallmouth, as they should! A 4 lb smallie is a dandy fish!...BUT, they are now what we consider to be the more "average" fish! Since the introduction of Gobys into the great lakes system, the smallmouth have taken to gorging themselves on the new food source and it has in turn created some of the finest smallmouth bass fishing in North America! Fish that tip the scales at 5-6 lbs are not uncommon, and 7 lb smallmouth are becoming more prominent and no longer the "surprise" that they once were! Our season begins this weekend, and it is a PERFECT time to hit fish that are transitioning from the shallow water spawning beds to their deeper summer haunts. Trolling and jigging are the two methods we use for these fish, and for those looking to include trout, salmon, or even pike and walleye, this is a trip that can easily be combined all in the same morning. ESPECIALLY on a "Full Day" outing...OR, you could make it a multi-day trip! Hitting the smallies and other warm water fish one day, then trolling the deep waters for Kings and Lakers the next! Whatever your "flavor" of fish, our area of Lake Ontario is a fisherman's paradise! Contact us today for more information! - Capt Ben Roggie
