Fishing Lake Ontario with Captain Shan

Welcome to Shady Grove Charters!

Osprey I charters the New York state waters of Lake Ontario, docking out of two ports—Sodus Point, and Pultneyville, New York. Captain Shan Bissell specializes in Chinook King Salmon, Coho Salmon, Atlantic Salmon, Lake Trout, Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout, Steelhead, and Small Mouth Bass.

Sodus Point features a relaxed atmosphere for those looking to unwind. A short drive will put you into the middle of plenty of day-time fun and activities for the whole family to enjoy. There are plenty of nearby restaurants (don't miss Captain Jack's Goodtime Tavern and Marlin’s Handcrafted Food & Drink, a semi-private golf course (Sodus Bay Heights Golf Club), public beaches with lifeguards, and quite a few nearby vinyards. And, if you're looking for night-time action, Sodus Point is the place to be. The point offers great dining and bars with live entertainment and outside decks over-looking beautiful Sodus Bay.

Fishing Lake Ontario is fun for everyone! Bring the whole family! Over the last 35 years Lake Ontario and its tributaries have developed into a WORLD CLASS FISHERY—one of the top freshwater fishing destinations in the world! We hope to see you soon!

Everyone's Catching Fish Aboard the Osprey I!

A fishing trip aboard the Osprey I has been the thrill of a life time for many! I've been fishing Lake Ontario for over 35 years. Living on the lake keeps me on top of all the hot spots and changing conditions of Lake Ontario. Trout, Salmon, Steelheads or Bass, catch that fish of a life time! Full- and half-day charters and lodging are available. I run from April through October, seven days a week. My promise to you is 110% of my experience and effort to make your charter a most rewarding and memorable experience. We're off to a great start with 2018 and still taking reservations. Hope to see you soon.
