Mike Klikus, Captain at Finhooker Charters

Set sail for an unforgettable adventure in Mexico Bay, one of the premier fishing destinations on Lake Ontario, with Finhooker Charters! Our charter is committed to providing you with a safe, comfortable, and successful experience on the water. Captain Mike Klikus' extensive experience and skills will ensure that you have an adventure of a lifetime!


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.


Get ready to have a blast aboard our 27' Penn Yan Pro Hunter Cuddy Cabin, which has plenty of space for up to six guests. Equipped with a state-of-the-art navigational system and gear, we'll find the fish in no time. And when it comes to your catch, trophy salmon and trout are up for the taking! Prepare yourselves for an action-packed and fun-filled trip that's definitely one for the books. Our fishing experience is aimed at targeting a variety of prized fish species including Brown Trout, Lake Trout, Rainbow Trout, Atlantic Salmon, Chinook Salmon, and Coho Salmon. To catch these magnificent fish, we'll be using the time-tested and proven technique of trolling. With this method, you'll be able to cover a large area of the lake, increasing your chances of catching these prized fish.


Whether you're a seasoned angler looking for a challenge or just want to relax and enjoy the scenery, Finhooker Charters has got you covered! Bring your family and friends on a spectacular day out and create lasting memories. Kids are also welcome, and Captain Mike loves to teach young anglers about fishing and the lake.


We provide everything you need for a productive day on the water, including free cleaning and filleting of your catch. Just pack some of your favorite snacks and drinks, purchase your fishing licenses ahead of time, and you're ready to go!

Don't miss out on a sensational and memorable angling adventure with Finhooker Charters. Book your trip now and get ready for an experience you'll never forget!

Lake Ontario Chinook: 40-Inch Monster Caught on 6-Hour Adventure

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!
