I have been a mate for years with a great boat...I also fish for myself on "the O".. I am a school teacher and I enjoy working some in the summer, what better office than a charter boat! I get $50.00 from the Captain no matter what, and I consider a $20.00 tip per fisherman a fair day...most days I leave with $100-120...Long days starting at 5am ending by cleaning the boat around 230pm.....and remember 430am comes fast-which makes for short nights!

One good one!
Great fishing in Lewiston all year....I grew up there and love to fish the lower niagara river. However it is very dangerous!!! Be more than careful. And please note after November 1 all persons aboard the boat must have a wet/dry water survival suit on. It is a new law and a very, very good one. Fish quickfish on a three way rig, close to the banks, like 10 to 15 ft from shore, the current is very swift and swirling.
And lastly there is a method to the madness, the boats take turns drifting so pay close attention and jump in the pattern. Good Luck..
