Seneca Lake Fishing Charter Services
We are dedicated to giving our clients the best fishing possible. In order to do so, we stay with the migratory patterns of trout salmon. As water temperatures rise, bait fish move to cooler waters, while game fish (bass, perch, salmon and trout) follow to feed. What does this mean? It means, you will find us where the action is at its best, staying on top of the larger schools of sport fish throughout the entire year. Whether you're a seasoned Seneca Lake angler or a newcomer out for the first time, you will truly experience all the excitement these waters have to offer. Youngsters and women are always welcome aboard the Seneca Lake Fishing Charters Service.

Perch
For some tasty perch, Oswego can be a productive destination. Lake Ontario, near the mouth of the Oswego River, holds good numbers of yellow perch. Look for them in areas with a sandy or gravel bottom, often near weed beds or submerged structure. Fall is a particularly good time to fish for perch as they school up in larger numbers before winter. A simple perch rig with a small minnow or worm on a hook and a sinker is often all you need. Jigging small ice fishing lures can also be effective. A helpful tip: try drifting with the current to cover more ground. Breitbeck Park offers good access for shore fishing, and there are several boat launches nearby if you want to get out on the lake. Oswego perch are known for their good size and flavor, making them a popular target for anglers. Remember to check the regulations for size and creel limits before you go.
