I used to take my kids on a charter in Sodus Point years ago-would like to do so again but the charter we used is no longer in business.

We caught lake trout, king salmon and browns, at different times of the year. The first mate did all the work, used downriggers (primarily), and helped the kids land the fish when they tired.

Then the catch was cleaned and packaged for us. Well worth the costs with great memories and pictures of kids fighting the fish.

Does anyone have a rec for a decent charter in Sodus (or another location on Lake Ontario)?

Does anyone know what is this dark spot? Sometimes there are birds resting around that area too. I was thinking it's some kind of reef or mud settlement from things washed out by the Humber River but there isn't anything special from the nautical chart

Any guesses? Also curious if that's a good spot for fishing?
