Captain Gary Hacker Sr. has a handful of charter captains he recommends and will help book a fishing charter for up to six people on the Niagara River, Lake Erie or Lake Ontario.He can also provide lodging and has three cabins available on Lake Ontario.
Hacker, a former Niagara County Sheriff, said Lake Ontario holds all the record-size catches for salmon and trout."This is what the people come for: the best fresh water fishing in the world," he said.
"The charter boats we use are all 30 feet or bigger, and all handle up to six people," Hacker said.The price is $550 for four people and includes equipment and bait, as well as cleaning and packaging of the fish.A fishing license is required but can be obtained at most sporting goods stores or online from New York state, he said.
