Trip Planner

To help fishers prepare for their upcoming fishing charter with True Blue WNY Fishing Charters, I have put together a printable planning page with a packing list, suggested clothing for the day of the charter, a list of what I provide for guests, and recommendations of places to stay.

What To Expect The Day of Your Fishing Charter:

When you book a fishing charter or guided fishing trip with True Blue WNY Fishing Charters, all the fishing tackle and bait you need will be provided and is included in the cost of your fishing charter rates.

I leave the boat launch locations between 6 and 7 a.m. on the day of your scheduled fishing charter, unless a different time is arranged in advance. Fishing charters generally stay out on the water for either 4 or 8 hours, or until the daily fish limit is reached.

What To Bring:

    • Soft soled shoes
    • Sunglasses
    • Sunscreen & towel
    • Rain gear
    • Camera
    • Motion sickness pills (if necessary)
    • Lunch & beverages (no hard alcohol, please)
    • Cooler for your lunch & beverages
    • Cooler to take home all the fish you will catch (leave in car)

    ** Your NYS fishing license – Without a valid NYS fishing license I will not be able to let you fish in Lake Ontario, Lake Erie, or the Niagara River. CLICK HERE for more information regarding purchasing your NYS fishing license online **


     

    What To Wear:

    You should make sure you’re wearing appropriate attire for your fishing charter. It’ll keep you comfortable and ensure you’re prepared to handle any weather conditions that we might face when we’re out catching fish

    • Suitable clothing- including rain gear
    • Soft soled shoes
    • Hat
