About Us

From a very young age, Eric has spent most of his free time on the water fishing or in the woods hunting.  It's his passion.  Years of experience have allowed him to become accomplished at both.

In addition to fresh water fishing, he also spent a number of years fishing salt water off the coast of New England for

 Giant Blue Fin Tuna.  As an accomplished hunter, he enjoys hunting for whitetail deer, turkey, canada and snow geese, 

rabbits and coyote.

Eric is a Licensed NY State Fishing and Hunting Guide, along with obtaining his OUPV 6 Pack Great Lakes and Near Coastal Charter Captain Designation from the US Coast Guard.   He also holds a Joint Pilots and Engineers License issued by NY State and is certified in CPR and First Aid.  He started his business to share his love of the outdoors with others.  He enjoys sharing his knowledge with his clients while making memories to last a lifetime.  He runs Charters on Lake Ontario for cold water species such as king salmon, coho salmon, steelhead and brown trout as well as lake trout.  He also runs Charters on Lake Champlain which is primarily a lake trout fishery with land locked salmon, browns and rainbow trout.  Additionally, he guides for Spring Turkey with an extremely high success rate for mature birds on great some hunting lands.
