Battling Smallmouth Blitz at Buffalo's Port Small Boat Harbor
It was a cool and partly cloudy morning when Chris and their crew joined me for a Fishing Charter Buffalo NY | Private Morning or Afternoon 4 Hour Charter on the waters of the Port of Buffalo Small Boat Harbor. May is a prime time for lake fishing in this area, as the warming waters bring the Smallmouth Bass into the shallows, making for some excellent action. We met up bright and early at the Port of Buffalo Small Boat Harbor and got our gear ready to hit the water. Despite the light rain, the conditions were shaping up nicely - the water looked great, and you could feel the fish moving underneath. We started the day drifting the shoreline, working a variety of lures and baits to see what the Smallmouth Bass were keying in on. It didn't take long before the first rod started bending, and Chris was into a feisty Smallmouth that put up a great fight. We kept at it, working different spots and finding a consistent pattern, and the group was soon reeling in Smallmouth Bass one after the other. The weather may have been a bit dreary, but the fishing was anything but. The Smallmouth were aggressive and hungry, smashing our baits with authority and giving us some excellent battles. In between catching fish, we had the chance to take in the scenic Port of Buffalo Small Boat Harbor, watching the activity on the water and enjoying the peaceful vibe. Even when the rain picked up, the fish kept biting, and we had a blast staying on them. If you're looking to experience the best Lake Erie or Niagara River fishing has to offer, book your Fishing Charter Buffalo NY | Private Morning or Afternoon 4 Hour Charter with Just Fish Guide Service. Whether you're after hard-fighting Smallmouth Bass like we found today, or want to target other species, we know these waters inside and out and will make sure you have an unforgettable day on the water. The fish are biting, the scenery is beautiful, and the company is always great - what more could you ask for?

Drifting for Trout on the Scenic Buffalo Lake
We started the day drifting with beads, targeting both Rainbow Trout and brown trout. It wasn't long before David's rod doubled over, and he was into a nice Trout that put up a spirited fight. We got that one in the boat and kept working the area, finding a few more Trout willing to hit our baits. The action stayed steady, with us adding a few more fish to the cooler throughout the morning.Even on a day when the fish aren't biting as aggressively, these creek trips are always a good time. We had great company, the scenery was beautiful, and it was just nice to be out on the water enjoying the day. That's what makes these trips special—not just the number of fish you catch, but the overall experience of being out there with good people, taking in the sights and sounds of the lake.If you're looking to experience some of the best lake fishing the Buffalo, NY area has to offer, be sure to book a Fishing Charter Buffalo NY | Private Morning or Afternoon 4 Hour Charter with Just Fish Guide Service.

The river continues to produce!
day 2 with Dave and Kelly, wind and weather kept us in the river, but the river has been fishing absolutely incredible. we boated 60 or so Quality fish, ranging from 3-6 pounds. all fish where caught on moving baits, I keep saying it but may is the best month of the year to fish for small mouth for quality and quantity. these fish are a blast to catch! limited dates avalible for the rest of the month, dont miss out on it! your pb is waiting for you.

Smallmouth beat down
smallmouth fishing in late april-may is prime time fishing, for numbers and size. Heres an example 124 fish in just 5 hours yesterday afternoon, most over 3-5 pounds. these fish are hungry and can be caught many ways, from casting moving baits, to dragging something along the bottom, most of these fish are schooled up by the hundreds this time of year. This bite will only last about another month or so, now is the time to go, i have some dates available!

Battling Trophy Smallies on the Niagara River & Lake Erie
It was a cool and cloudy morning as I headed out with David Lord for a private fishing charter on the waters of Lake Erie and the Niagara River near North Tonawanda, NY. April is a fantastic time for targeting Smallmouth Bass in these parts, as the fish become more active with the warming waters. Despite the overcast skies, the conditions were shaping up to be quite favorable for an exciting day on the water. We launched the boat and started drifting, working various sections of the lake and river using a combination of live bait and artificial lures. It didn't take long before David's rod bent over, and he set the hook into a feisty Smallmouth Bass. The fish put up a spirited fight, stripping line and making powerful runs, but David kept his cool and carefully worked it to the net. After a quick photo, we released the bass back to the water unharmed. This pattern continued throughout the morning, with David hooking into several more Smallmouths, as well as a few Rainbow Trout and Brown Trout mixed in. The action was steady, and we had a great time working the lake and river for these hard-fighting gamefish. Between the flurries of activity, we took in the scenic views and enjoyed the tranquil atmosphere. Despite the overcast skies, the rain and snow held off, making for a comfortable day on the water. It was the perfect blend of excellent fishing and simply taking in the beautiful natural surroundings. If you're looking to experience the best of Lake Erie and Niagara River fishing, I highly recommend booking a private charter with Just Fish Guide Service.

The salmon fishing continues to stay strong!
casting spoons with light line continues to get better as the days creep into October. the salmon are big and plentiful this year, catching these fish is nothing but an adrenaline rush, long runs, acrobatic and angry! It just takes one to be hooked on this bite forever. we have about 3 weeks left until the bite will start to slow down. Get here while its hot!

What’s your go to here? One of my favorite ways of fishing is flipping and feeling that THUMP! Interested in making your flipping game better? I can help with that, I can do one on one teaching or even a group to teach this once controversial technique! Our sport is constantly changing, adapt or get left behind!

Alex and crew have been always been top notch in making sure their customers have the best fishing experience. I have had some guides that go through the motion, but not Alex. His passion and effort in putting you on the best fish shows on each trip. We have even made the trip from Destin several times, because we know what we get from his trips!

My son and I had a blast with Captain Jason. I can not recommend him enough. He got us on a ton of fish, is extremely knowledgeable, and is an all-around great guy. One of the best days ive ever had on the water in my life. Do yourself a favor and book with Lock It Up charters when you’re in the key largo area. I don’t write a ton of reviews, but, trust me, youll thank me later.
