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.

Speckled Trout
While not as renowned as southern fisheries, Speckled Trout (also known as Spotted Seatrout) can be found in the waters around Centre Island, NY, offering a unique inshore saltwater experience. These fish are most active during the warmer months, from late spring to early fall, favoring the shallow, grassy flats and tidal creeks. Look for them in areas with structure, such as oyster beds, docks, and submerged vegetation. The key to success is using light tackle and presenting your bait or lure naturally. Small soft plastics, shrimp imitations, and topwater lures can be very effective. Consider launching a kayak from one of the local beaches for stealthy access to the shallow areas. Speckled Trout are ambush predators, so focus on areas with current breaks and cover. Local tip: Pay attention to tide changes, as they often trigger feeding activity. The Speckled Trout population here is relatively small, so practice catch and release to help preserve the fishery. Always check the current regulations for size and bag limits before fishing.
