Get ready for an unforgettable fishing adventure on Lake Ontario with J&J Sportfishing Charters, based in Mexico, NY!

With over a decade of Lake Ontario fishing under their belts, the crew is dedicated to making every trip as thrilling and rewarding as possible, whether you're new to fishing or a seasoned angler.

You’ll be boarding “The Bearded Clam,” a well-equipped 27' Penn Yan sportfishing vessel with ample room for up to four passengers. This classic fishing boat is equipped with all essentials, including downriggers and high-quality rods, reels, and tackle, so you’ll have everything you need for a successful day on the water. For your convenience, there’s a clean, onboard restroom to keep you comfortable for a full day of fishing. Families are welcome, and J&J Sportfishing is a kid-friendly charter, so it’s the perfect opportunity to introduce younger anglers to the thrill of the catch. If you’re bringing kids, the crew will ensure safety and fun, even offering child-sized life vests if needed.

The fishing season with J&J Sportfishing offers plenty of variety and excitement. From March to May, enjoy the best of Brown Trout and Lake Trout fishing, ideal for early-season anglers. As the season progresses from June through September, you’ll have the chance to target King Salmon, Brown Trout, Lake Trout, Steelhead, and even Chinook and Pink Salmon if conditions are favorable. With the captain’s extensive knowledge, you’re likely to experience trolling and other effective techniques tailored to each species. Every trip is designed to maximize your chances of a big catch while creating an experience that’s both fun and educational.

Before your trip with J&J Sportfishing, be sure to get a local fishing license, as New York requires one for all anglers. The J&J team can guide you on any species restrictions. Essentials to bring include a hat, sunglasses, bottled water, non-spray sunblock, and snacks to stay energized. Alcohol is permitted in moderation, but avoid glass bottles and hard liquor for safety.

Enjoy a complete experience on Lake Ontario with a helpful First Mate who can assist and clean your catch; a 10-20% tip is customary. Ready to reel in big memories? Join J&J Sportfishing for a fantastic day on the water!
