New Vessel and Top Quality Gear,
No Old Boats, No Junk equipment!
We offer first-class, low priced Lake Champlain fishing charters on a 2019 Mako 21 foot LTS multi-species fishing vessel. It's equipped with a quiet, clean 150 horsepower four stroke Mercury outboard, and state-of-the-art Minn Kota trolling motor, Scotty downriggers and two Humminbird sonar/fishfinders (including a Solix 15, with their largest class screen). We're properly equipped to troll, jig or power fish (cast). Premium rods and reels are also provided. Unlike the competition, our prices peak at $375 for an eight hour trip. There are no confusing "rates packages", additional person add-ons, or fuel surcharges. $275 four-hour and $325 six-hour trips are also available. Our stable, 8' wide, deep V hulls can easily accommodate parties of four people, but we suggest three or fewer, for safety when casting, and for higher individual catch rates. Group rates with multiple vessels are available. Many wise clients have already reserved their dates! Don't miss your chance to fish with an experienced Captain who's on the water seven days a week.
