1000 Island Region - St. Lawrence River - New York
This area has been a favorite vacation spot for over a century.  The
beauty is unsurpassed.  Crystal clear water and more than 1800
islands make for a great place for relaxing.  But it is the fishing that
gets me excited.   

I have been going here since 1991.  The clear, cool waters of this area
are ideal for small mouth and large mouth bass and northern pike;
big yellow perch are also plentiful.

Usually I will stay in a 2 bedroom cottage at Hi--da-way Summer
Cottages in Alexandria Bay; however, there are several New York
State Campgrounds nearby.  Camping is a less expensive alternative
while here.  

I am not a licensed guide in New York, but I am very familiar with
the waters and fishing in the area.  With this in mind I am offering a
great 2, 3 or 4 day fishing trip to my favorite spot on earth.

Alexandria Bay is 354 miles from the Bensalem PA Turnpike Access.  
Typically we leave at 6:00 am and arrive in the area around 1:00 pm.
We stop for our NY fishing license, shop at the market for supplies,
then check in at our quarters.  Around 3:30 pm the boat gets
launched and the catching starts.  

A typical day starts with coffee and a light breakfast, then fishing, a
break for a real breakfast, then fishing, eat lunch on the boat while
fishing and break for supper, then fishing.  The time on the water
depends on conditions and how everyone feels.

It is not unusual in May and June to catch 50 to 100 bass, etc.  The
Smallies are usually bedding at this time of the year and we can do
some sight fishing.  What a thrill to see a bass 25 feet below the boat
and entice them to strike.
