Methods
My guiding year is structured around the prime fishing opportunities on the Hudson River, Lake Champlain, and Lake Ontario. While the Striped Bass season on the Hudson is notably short, I'm a year-round fisherman and can accommodate your charter needs whenever you wish. This means I can offer flexibility, but it's crucial to understand that the prime time for certain species is limited. For those seeking the thrill of Striped Bass on the Hudson, we need to align with their specific season. For Lake Trout and Landlocked Salmon on Lake Champlain and Lake Ontario, we'll target the periods when these species are most active and accessible, utilizing trolling and jigging techniques to maximize your success.
