Lake Ontario is a massive freshwater lake that stretches across Canada and the US, offering a vast array of fishing opportunities. Mexico Bay is one of the prime fishing locations on the eastern shore of Lake Ontario, with abundant populations of trophy salmon and trout. Cayuga Lake is one of the Finger Lakes in central New York, offering excellent fishing for largemouth and smallmouth bass, northern pike, and trout. The Hudson River in New York provides opportunities for striped bass fishing and is a popular destination for anglers in the Hudson Valley region.

What a great day on the water, couldn't ask for more action! I took Dave and their crew out for a 6-hour fishing adventure on Lake Ontario this summer. We set out from Mexico, NY at the crack of dawn, launching from County Route 40 into the vast expanse of the lake. The early morning air had a slight chill, but the partly cloudy skies promised a perfect day for fishing. Lake Ontario was in fine form, offering us ideal conditions for our target species - Chinook Salmon. At Finhooker Charters, we pride ourselves on knowing these waters like the back of our hand, and today was no exception. Once the stage was set, we got down to business. We employed a mix of techniques to maximize our chances of success. Trolling was our primary method, allowing us to cover a good stretch of water. We also did some bottom fishing and used live bait to entice those big Chinooks. Our persistence paid off when we landed a monster 40-inch Chinook Salmon. That's the kind of catch that makes a trip memorable! We wrapped up with smiles all around, the weight of that impressive Chinook still fresh in our minds. Lake Ontario never disappoints when it comes to salmon fishing, and today was a prime example of why. The combination of trolling, bottom fishing, and live bait fishing proved effective, showcasing the versatility needed to succeed on these waters. It's always a thrill to see anglers connect with these powerful fish, and the 40-incher we boated today was a testament to the quality of fishing Lake Ontario offers. If you're thinking about experiencing the thrill of Lake Ontario fishing for yourself, I'd love to have you aboard Finhooker Charters for a 6-Hour Fishing Adventure in Lake Ontario. Our Private 6 Hour Lake Ontario Fishing Charter is perfect for anglers of all skill levels looking to target trophy-sized Chinook Salmon. We provide all the gear and expertise you need for a successful day on the water. Whether you're a seasoned angler or new to the sport, Lake Ontario's salmon fishery offers an exciting challenge. From the early morning launch to the potential for landing a monster Chinook, every moment on the lake is an opportunity for an unforgettable experience. Don't miss out on the chance to battle these hard-fighting fish in one of the Great Lakes' premier fishing destinations. Book your trip with us at Finhooker Charters, and let's make some fishing memories on Lake Ontario. The salmon are waiting, and there's nothing quite like the rush of reeling in your own trophy catch!
