Cape Vincent, NY, Verenigde Staten

Spend the day with the Cape Vincent Bass Fishing Guide and find out what fishing out of Cape Vincent in the St Lawrence River is all about! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Rick can tell you all about them in detail.

Around here, fishing is famous for Walleye, Salmon, and Lake Trout, but Smallmouth Bass is world-class; as a matter of fact, it just ranked #1 in the US.

You can target these Smallmouth by spinning, trolling, drifting, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Rick also offers fly fishing, but you may need to bring your own fly gear.

Capt. Rick welcomes children aboard so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Also, remember to bring snacks!

Capt. Rick runs a 21’ Skeeter center console that can carry up to 4 passengers. It comes with fishing chairs, all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Rods, reels, and tackle are included, along with lures.

Before coming aboard, it will be necessary to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off-limits or require a particular tag, so make sure you know what to expect or ask Capt Rick.

Some essentials to bring are sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), and a hat. Bottled water and ice will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Get in touch with Capt. Rick below. Start planning your trip today!

Great Experience with Captain Rick Mitchell!
on March 28, 2025
I recently went on a fishing charter with Captain Rick Mitchell, and I had an amazing time! From start to finish, Rick made the experience unforgettable. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about fishing. He took the time to explain different techniques, and his expertise helped us reel in some great catches. The boat was clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything we needed for a successful day out on the water. I highly recommend booking a trip with Captain Rick if you're looking for an enjoyable and rewarding fishing adventure. Can't wait to go out with him again!

Unforgettable Day on the Water with Rick Mitchell!
on April 3, 2025
Fishing with Rick Mitchell out of Cape Vincent was an experience I won’t forget. From start to finish, Rick was professional, prepared, and incredibly knowledgeable about the waters and seasonal bass patterns. He took the time to explain techniques, adjusted to our skill levels, and made sure we were always in the best spots. The smallmouth bass action was nonstop, and the scenery was beautiful. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a serious and enjoyable day of bass fishing.

Great Fishing with Captain Rick
6 Hour Trip (AM) on August 4, 20253 adults
We did the 6 hour charter for Small and Large mouth bass with Captain Rick Mitchell out of Cape Vincent. He is a seasoned pro and took us to great spots. He had very nice equipment to use, Very nice lures to use, and outstanding electronics to navigate good fishing spots. Can't recommend him more highly. He was wonderful and we had a trip, brought home a great catch of small mouth bass, and we'll definitely do it again.

Action-Packed Day on the St. Lawrence with Capt. Rick!
on April 5, 2025
Fishing with Rick Mitchell out of Cape Vincent was a fantastic experience. He put us right on the smallmouth, and the bite stayed hot from start to finish. Rick’s knowledge of the river and fish behavior made all the difference, and his easygoing style made the day even better. The boat was in great shape, and the scenery was unbeatable. A must-do trip for any bass angler!
