What to Expect on Your First Fishing Trip with Capt. John

A Warm Welcome at the Docks
Your adventure begins the moment you meet Captain John at the dock. He’ll greet you with a friendly smile, help you aboard our clean and fully-equipped vessel, and provide a quick safety briefing. We make sure everyone feels comfortable and ready for the day ahead, answering any questions you have before we cast off.

Setting Off and Finding the Perfect Spot
As we head out onto the stunning St. Lawrence River, you’ll be treated to breathtaking views of the islands. Captain John’s local expertise is the heart of our Alexandria Bay fishing charters; he knows exactly where to find the bass, pike, and walleye. We won't waste time—we’ll get you to the action.

Lines in the Water: It's All About the Fish
This is where the real fun begins! We provide all the rods, reels, and tackle you’ll need. Captain John offers patient, hands-on instruction on everything from casting to setting the hook. When you feel that first tug on the line, he’ll be right there to help you reel in your catch successfully.

More Than Just Fishing
While catching fish is the goal, a trip with us is about the entire experience. It’s about making memories with your family, learning a new skill, and soaking in the incredible scenery of the Thousand Islands. We believe that the stories you tell afterward are just as important as the fish you catch.
From the friendly welcome to the thrill of the catch, we ensure every aspect of your trip is enjoyable. This commitment to a complete family-friendly experience is what sets our alexandria bay fishing charters apart.
