Captain Bill Lortz is the premier smallmouth bass charter captain on the Eastern Basin of Lake Ontario!  Bill has been fishing on Oneida Lake and the 1000 Islands region for over 20 years. He has been tournament bass fishing for the past 16 years on both the local and regional level. I was introduced to guiding by my uncle who ran a successful charter business on Lake Ontario. Through my years of being a first mate on his boat I learned and experienced first hand the value of educating fisherman. Our goal at NY NORTHCOUNTRY BASSIN' is for you to not only catch fish but to learn.  https://www.nynorthcountrybassin.com/about.html
