Who is Captain Barry?
"2008" marks
the eighth year
of guiding fisherman to Trophy Fish and fun times, but don't let that
fool you. I have over 22 years of serious fishing experience, having
fished in numerous tournaments yearly.
Winning the
MAKE-A WISH Lake Erie Challenge/Milliennium Bassmasters Tournament on
May 19, 2001 & the Wagon Wheel Annual Smallmouth Tournament, June 15, 2002.
Finishing 2nd (missing out of 1st by .02 of a pound!) in the
US
Anglers Choice Northeast Team Regional Championships
with Joe Fonzi on October 14th & 15th, 2005, winning a 2006 Bass
Cat Pantera Classic Boat with a 200 Mercury on it.
Placing 26th as an non-boater in the
Citgo Bassmasters Northern Open on Sept. 9-11, 2003 and finishing 51st
as a Pro in the
Everstart
Northern Open on Lake Erie on August 25-28th, 2004. I've had numerous
Top 10 finishes in the local tournament trails as well. Also working as a
first mate on Lake Erie and Lake Ontario for several years. I have
learned what it takes to guarantee having a great experience. Its
more than just catching fish, but that helps!

What should I bring?
A valid New York State fishing license and/or Ontario Fishing License (not mandatory), a Camera (I like to practice C-P-R; Catch, Photo & Release!), sunglasses, sunscreen, a hat, appropriate clothing for predicted weather, seasickness medicine (if needed), a small cooler, food and drinks. If you have a favorite rod and reel bring it along too, although I supply all needed tackle.
I highly recommend getting a Canadian Fishing License when fishing for King Salmon & Steelhead on the Niagara River to take advantage of all fish holding drifts. Some days the Canadian side is a lot better and you don't want to watch them pounding them and not be able to fish for them.
You can get Ontario Licenses by calling 1-800-667-1940 (usually takes 3-4 weeks!)
Or at: Canadian Tire at Montrose & Thorold Stone Roads Niagara Falls, Ontario
1-905-354-3848
You can get a N.Y. Fishing License at any Walmart in NY or at:
Gander Mountain 880 Young St Tonawanda, N.Y. (716)-743-2300 (opens at 5:30am)
When is the best fishing?
Smallmouth Bass: May-June and Oct-Nov for Trophies
June-September for numbers (a great time for kids)
King Salmon: September - October
Lake & Brown Trout: November - April
Steelhead: November - April
Walleye: May - December
