Hot bite and happy crew! Summer fishing in Oswego NY brought us clear conditions as we set out on the river for an evening of angling action. Anastasia and their crew joined me for a half-day float trip with Mississippi John's Guide Service. As the sun started its descent, we pushed off from 1830 Bridie Manor, ready to make the most of the prime evening hours on the water. With our gear rigged and ready, we employed a mix of techniques to cover all our bases. We started off trolling, letting our lines trail behind as we drifted along some promising stretches. When we hit spots that looked particularly fishy, we'd switch it up with some bottom fishing, dropping our baits right where the fish might be holding. Drift fishing proved to be a great way to cover water and present our offerings naturally. While we didn't land any trophies this time out, the experience of being on the river and working different techniques kept us engaged throughout the trip. We wrapped up as the day faded, having enjoyed a great time on the water with plenty of casting practice and good company.

John is an exceptional guide, known for his dedication and willingness to go the extra mile, particularly for those who are ready to explore by foot. When we planned our weekend getaway, we were aware that things might not go as planned, especially after our initially scheduled guide had to cancel. However, John not only salvaged our experience by taking us night fishing, but he also ensured our Saturday morning was filled with more angling adventures when our previous attempts fell short.
