Come Aboard!

Fishing on Eastern Lake Ontario out of Henderson Harbor offers some of the best fishing in the U.S. with the targeting of Salmon, Lake Trout, Brown Trout, Bass and Walleye. Our goal for Milky Way Fishing Charters is not only to put fish in the boat, but also to provide you with a safe, enjoyable and memorable fishing experience for everyone of any gender or age!

The Milky Way is a 28' Albermarle twin engine hardtop with a stand-up head. The boat is equipped with the latest in electronics, fishing gear and U.S.C.G. equipment on board and guided by a U.S.C.G. licensed captain and charter guide with 30+ years of experience!

We can set up multiple boat parties, corporate trips and private charters. We also have a variety of restaurants and lodging available in the harbor area and will gladly arrange accommodations at your request. Give us a call at home at 315-938-5420 or on my cell at 315-783-3304.

Big Waves Result in Big Fish!

On Sunday, July 6th, the Jim Schlieder party had a rough day of fishing thanks to the 4, 5 and occasional 6 foot waves Lake Ontario was throwing at them. Although the day was sunny and clear, it was cooler and the southwest winds created waves averaging between 4-6 feet which did not let up.

The brave fishermen and women endured the rough seas long enough to take on a decent catch of Lake Trout along with a couple of Whitefish. But in the end, it all seemed to have paid off when Allie landed a trophy Lake Trout tipping the scales at just over 19 pounds! Now that is a lot of Lake Trout!

Limited Out on Lakers!

The weather cooperated in spite of the marine forecast as well as the Lake Trout on the morning of Tuesday, June 24th. The Yousey party had a good morning of fishing and were able to haul in some pretty nice Lake Trout. The biggest Laker was caught by Myron Roggie and tipped the scales at about 14 lb. 8 oz. The day turned into a good one for everyone involved especially when the guys took home their limit of Lake Trout!
