Lake Ontario/St. Lawrence River
Fishing Tips

SCOTT DITCH
I grew up in Henderson Harbor and now live in the neighboring town of Sackets Harbor. I've been an "all in" hardcore bass fisherman for 15 years, but have lived my life on the water. I love the challenge of running around trying to figure these fish out. The northeastern end of Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River is primarily a World Class Smallmouth Bass fishery, although we do run into some nice largemouth here and there.
I have 3 passions in my life. God, bass fishing/bowhunting and music. I'm married to a beautiful Christian woman and we have 4 children in their 20s! I've worked in law enforcement for 20 years and have been a Charter Captain for 5yrs.
I'm willing to have a conversation with you or do some text messaging to help you get on fish quicker and not to waist a bunch of time.
INFO and Rates
The Northeastern basin of Lake Ontario including Henderson, Sackets Harbor, Chaumont Bay, Galloo Island, Fox Island and Duck Island all fish differently from the St. Lawrence River. This section of Lake Ontario is VAST and overwhelming when you get here and it's impossible to know where to start. Making the trip here to the #1 Smallmouth bass fishery in the world can come with very high expectations and to no surprise a lot of people leave defeated. It's just to big and it fishes differently than anywhere else with very specific structure. Let me point you in the right direction and save you a lot of time.
The St Lawrence River is a very unique place to fish and can be very specific on baits and techniques. There are literally a 1000 islands and shoals and it's so easy to spend 3 days to a week fishing before you catch a fish! Let me help you and save you some time by sharing the same info i'd share on a fishing charter about areas like Chippewa Bay, Alex Bay, Clayton and Cape Vincent.
I'm constantly on the water and can give an up to date report of how the lake or river is fishing.
Bass fishing charters in this area run between $600-$800. Let's have a conversation or share some text messages about fishing and you simply make a donation to my Venmo account.
