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
Perch fishing near Plattsburgh can be incredibly rewarding, especially on Lake Champlain. These tasty panfish are abundant and readily accessible to anglers of all skill levels. The best time to target perch is during the late ice fishing season and again in the fall when they school up in large numbers. Look for them around weed beds, rocky bottoms, and drop-offs. Small jigs tipped with minnows or worms are highly effective. A simple bobber rig can also produce excellent results. Don't be afraid to experiment with different depths until you locate the fish. One local hotspot is near the Ausable River delta, where perch often congregate. Be aware of changing weather conditions on Lake Champlain, as the lake can get rough quickly. The marina in downtown Plattsburgh provides easy access and ample parking. Remember to check the local regulations regarding bag limits and size restrictions before heading out. A stringer full of Lake Champlain perch makes for a delicious meal!
