Trip Info & FAQs

 
 

Crazy Kings Sportfishing runs guided Lake Ontario charters out of Sodus Point with Captain Zach Enos at the helm. Trips focus on salmon and trout trolling, and they are built for anglers who want real time on the rod, expert instruction and a chance at trophy fish. Expect a steady, safety minded pace and a crew that helps every angler get involved.

Most days start just after sunrise when the lake is glassy and the fish are moving. We move with the bite, using planer boards, downriggers and traditional trolling setups to match the season and water. Boats are comfortable and well equipped, but fishing is hands on, so come ready to learn, fish and enjoy the Lake Ontario experience.

Whether you book a short family outing or a full day chase for kings, our goal is to make the trip fun, productive and memorable. We handle gear, clean your fish and take care of the details so you can focus on the catch.

What to expect on your Sodus Point fishing charter

Crazy Kings Sportfishing runs focused, hands on trips that put you on the rod and into the action. Whether you are a first time angler or a seasoned hunter of kings, trips are tuned for fun, learning and the best chance at fish. Expect patient instruction, steady boat handling and a crew that keeps things safe and efficient.

Most days begin near sunrise when the lake is calm and fish are active. We follow the bite throughout the day, shifting locations and tactics to match conditions and season. The trip pace is flexible so we can chase the best water while still giving everyone time at the rod.

Safety and preparedness guide every voyage. Captain Zach Enos is USCG licensed and holds CPR and First Aid certifications, and the crew runs briefings before departure. Your booking confirmation lists the exact launch dock and arrival time, so plan to arrive about 20 to 30 minutes early for check in and a short safety overview.
