Lake Algonquin - Wells, NY Fishing Report on 8th Feb, 2025
After what seems like forever, the winds and snow died down today for the fellas from Long Island to come up and get out after some perch and pickerel! It was a slower pick on the tipups today and only had about a dozen flags and managed to land 2 small pickerel, and a 2 lb smallmouth bass! Lots of short runs and then spit the bait, and a handful of missed fish as well where they just came unglued. Jigging action however proved worthy today and the fellas managed to each jig up a few perch and learn the electronics. They kept a few of the larger ones for the grease and released all the smaller fish! Was a great time out on the water on a gorgeous day! They experienced stiff winds last year's trip so they saw what the difference weather can make! Several other groups out fishing picked at some perch and also were lacking in pickerel. Snow was fairly deep around 4-7inches and the ice was 16" thick! Snowmobiles and atvs were driving around and we did watch the schools of fish move away quickly when a few approached and stopped to chat. Tip! (Fish can and do hear when you're making a lot of noise and sometimes they move on)

Oneida Lake - Oswego, NY Fishing Report on 26th Jan, 2025
Conditions for yesterday's scheduled "walleye slaughter" on Oneida Lake for Claudio and family were less than ideal! Confronted with relentless 15-20 mph winds and blowing snow squalls we deployed our shanty in 20 foot of water and went to work. Screens looked decent on and off throughout the morning but the fish just seemed to want to "sniff" every lure we deployed. Without being able to deploy more of our program and move around we spent the morning hunkered down and was able to put a few nice walleye and a short and one perch topside! We also missed 5 fish on tipups that could've helped sweeten the day but overall they had a great day and are looking forward to a trip on Lake Ontario this summer! It was a pleasure to fish with you guys!!

Ice Trip turned into a Pickerel Slaugher!
Martin and Crew showed up to fish with me today! We ventured out after pickerel and perch. The pickerel bite proved fast and aggressive and did not disappoint! Perch fishing has so far been slower with only a few being brought to hand! Overall though it was an epic morning with a 4-man limit of Pickerel in 4 short hours!

Walleye Trip
Went out for some walleye. We ended up with a total of 8 Walleye, and kept 4. Biggest of the day and year so far at 26" 7.3LBS! Lets hope we get some cold weather to heal the ice back up so we can get on these tastey specimens again!

I don’t think there’s words to say how great of a trip we had. Once we started gearing up to fish, we were on fish. Cap. Justin was very knowledgeable with the area, how and where we needed our lures, and most importantly how to not lose a fish. We will definitely be coming back for future trips. This was our first trip on Lake Ontario and I feel the best we could ever have.

Great Captain , great boat/gear. It was a day of catching.
May 29, 2025
Our Ice Fishing Trip with Captain Justin was an excellent experience. It was our first time ice fishing and he took the time to explain each step of the process, make recommendations for gear and supplies, and explain every method of ice fishing. He provided many tips and tricks for tip up fishing, dead sticking, and jigging, including demonstrating how to jig with the help of a fish finder. He and the assistant guide set up many tip ups and checked them often to make sure they were still baited. When the fish stopped biting at our first location he offered to switch us to a new location where we caught over a dozen fish, which he filleted for us. Throughout the trip he checked in often to make sure we were comfortable and warm, and had a heated shanty set up for us to take breaks in. I strongly recommend booking a trip through Over the Rail Sportfishing.
