Lake Erie Fishing

Come experience the finest Smallmouth Bass Fishing in the world on Lake Erie's eastern basin in western New York. You can expect 20 - 30 of these onze awlers per person with better days common. These fish average 3 - 3½ pounds, with 4-6 pound plus Trophy Smallmouth Bass common in May & June, as well as again in October and November.

There's always a shot at even bigger Smallmouths, our New York state record Smallmouth Bass is 8.4 pounds. It has been set and oken on Lake Erie several times in the past few years. Who knows? The N.Y.D.E.C. says there are bigger ones out there from their electro-shocking and net sampling analysis, maybe another state record!

The summer bass fishing is even better for those who want numbers fish in the 1 1/2 - 3 pound range with an occasional 4 pound plus Smallmouth. This is a great time to ing kids or novice anglers to make sure they stay busy learning to how to catch lots of fish. Its an Angling Adventure that will have them hooked for life after fishing with one of the best Smallmouth Bass fishing guides in western New York.
   
There are also bonus Walleyes & Steelhead around, as well as lots of Rock Bass, Sheepshead and occasional Silver Bass. I  promote a CPR policy (Catch, Photo & Release!) on my Smallmouth Bass trips to insure the future of this great fishery.
