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.

Please come aboard the Milky Way with me and experience the best charter fishing Henderson Harbor and Eastern Lake Ontario has to offer!

Hard Work Pays Off in Trophy Fish!

The Paul Dawley party had to put in some hard work, but the day resulted in some nice trophy fish for his grandsons. The rough waters of Lake Ontario pretty much dictated where the Milky Way could go to fish with planer boards for the Walleye, but the catch of the day included a trophy 11 1/4 lb. Walleye that Paul's grandson, Jim, hauled aboard.

P.D., another of Paul's grandsons, also got to reel in a nice bass and Jim added another trophy catch to his resume, a Smallmouth tipping the scales at 4 1/2 pounds! Although it seemed like a long day of difficult fishing in rough seas, the time and effort by all paid off in the catching of some really big fish! Great job of fishing, guys!

Great Day on Lake Brings Great Day of Fishing!

On Friday, July 18th, Milky Way Fishing Charters ran a charter for Captain Scott Lennox. The lake started out pretty choppy in the morning but settled down which is pretty normal for the variety of seas the lake can offer. On the same note, the lake can produce a variety of fish as proven on this day of fishing.
