Frequently Asked Questions for Diamond J Charters
What is included in a Diamond J Charters fishing trip on Lake Ontario?
Every outing with Diamond J Charters is a fully equipped experience. We provide all professional-grade rods, reels, and tackle specialized for Lake Ontario salmon and trout. Your trip also includes the expertise of Captain Jim, who utilizes advanced sonar and GPS to track the best bites. Once we return to the dock at Sodus Point, we provide complimentary fish filleting and packing for your entire catch at no extra charge.
What is the best time of year to fish in Sodus Point, NY?
The best time depends on your target species. April is the peak for our Spring Special Brown Trout sessions along the shoreline. May through September offers the most consistent action for King Salmon, Coho, and Steelhead as they move into deeper water. For those seeking the largest trophy King Salmon, the late summer months of August and September are traditionally the most productive in the Sodus Point region.
How much does a full day fishing charter cost in Sodus Point with Diamond J Charters?
Our full day (8-hour) fishing charter is priced at $680 for up to three people or $750 for four people. If you have a larger group, additional guests can be added for $100 each. These rates are comprehensive, covering the boat, fuel, and all necessary equipment for a complete day of sport fishing on the New York side of Lake Ontario.
Do I need to bring my own fishing gear for the trip?
No, you do not need to bring any personal fishing equipment. Diamond J Charters provides top-of-the-line trolling gear and light-tackle setups specifically tuned for the species we target. However, if you have a favorite lucky rod you’d like to use, you are welcome to bring it along—just let Captain Jim know so we can integrate it into our spread.
Is a fishing license included in the Diamond J Charters trip price?
A New York State fishing license is not included in the trip rate and must be purchased separately. You can easily buy your license online or at a local bait shop once you reach town. Please ensure every angler in your party has a valid license before we depart from the marina, as this is a requirement for fishing the New York waters of Lake Ontario.
What should I bring with me on my Sodus Point fishing charter?
To stay comfortable on the water, you should bring non-marking shoes with soft soles, a hat, sunglasses, suntan lotion, and rain gear just in case. Most importantly, bring a large cooler to transport your filleted catch home. We also recommend bringing any snacks or beverages you’d like to enjoy during your five or eight hours on the lake.
Is cleaning and filleting included in the fishing trip?
Yes, professional cleaning and filleting are included at no additional cost. Captain Jim or the crew will expertly fillet and pack your Salmon and Trout at the end of the trip, so they are ready for the grill or freezer. This service is a standard part of our commitment to providing a premium guided experience for our guests.
Do I need a passport for a Diamond J Charters trip?
A passport is not required for any of our excursions. Even though Lake Ontario borders Canada, all Diamond J Charters trips stay strictly within the New York side of the lake. We depart from and return to Sodus Point, ensuring you stay within US territory throughout your entire fishing session.
How can I prevent motion sickness during my Lake Ontario trip?
If you are prone to motion sickness, we recommend beginning medication 24 hours before your scheduled departure. Taking the first dose the night before allows the medicine to be fully in your system by the time we leave the dock. This is the best way to ensure you spend your time focusing on the fishing rather than feeling unwell.
