    Irondiquoit to webster pier 4/10

    in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)

    Posted

    Started at 6am beautiful day to be out on the water and away from work. Did all bay rats at 2.2gps speed mixed colors and sizes. Trolled in 10 to 15 fow went 3 for 3. Another guy was out and told me he went 7 for 7 but he had went from irondiquoit to ginna trolled slower than 2.0 and said jointed baits were key. These are some picky fish but with more practice I hope to get this down. I also tried trolling for Lakers with no luck search 50 to 100 fow with little on the graph and not one release running two bells and two dipsey divers.

    Started out at 6am headed east in 10 to 15 fow. My spread was two bay rats on each side of planer board and two spoons off the rigger so 6 lines in all together. Went 2 for 2! 5 hours of trolling all the way to bear creek! Not sure why I did hook into more water was muddy plenty of boats out. All together beautiful day just not a lot of fish.

    Starting a charter business

    Where are you located. That could play a role. For instance. In the Kingston, ont area there are very few charter boats that operate in the spring and summer. IMO there is a living that could be made there but it won't be 100k that's for sure.

    You would need to determine what income you need to make per year, divide that by months of fishable water. Then out of those months how many days you could fish and how many days you would lose do to unfavourable weather etc.

    Once you know how many days you could fish you can decide how much costs per trip / overhead you're looking at and see what rates you would have to
    Charge to make it viable.

    It can be good money when it's good weather, the bookings are happening and nothing is breaking but you have to budget for those expenses and cancellations etc.

    My .02 cents is it's a tough gig based on seeing several of my friends operate their business's. each of them have other means to offset their income.

    I am located in irondiquoit. I might try to base out of Braddock bay since they have fixed it up.
