Monster Hunters Charters

Would like to take this opportunity to introduce ourselves. We are an Upstate New York based Charter fishing guide service that provides both novice and experienced anglers the opportunity to fish for trophy sized Striped Bass, Salmon, Trout, Muskie & Pike. Throughout the year, we target these fish in different locations with tried and tested techniques. In the spring, we'll guide you to fish the Hudson River for Striped Bass. In the summer months, we can be found fishing Lake Ontario for Salmon and Steelhead/Trout. In the fall months, we are fishing for Muskie and Northern Pike on the Mohawk river. Between Captains and Crew, we have over 30 years of experience fishing offshore, near shore, the Great Lakes and Inland Waters. We LIVE TO FISH, and it is with that passion we have gained priceless knowledge and experience. We will strive to provide you with the ultimate fishing guide service experience possible, and we will work tirelessly to put you on the fish time and time again!


Hello, my name is Captain Mike, owner of Monster Hunters Charters aboard the M.T. Pockets. I was born and raised in the Troy/Albany New York area, and have been fishing the shores of the Hudson River, Mohawk River and Lake Ontario for the past 38 years. I know these waters like the back of my hand because this is my backyard! Come aboard and let me guide you on a fishing experience in my stomping grounds! I've caught thousands of fish but there is nothing better than putting others on monsters and the enjoyment in providing people with the fishing adventure of a lifetime!


Hello, my name is Captain Suzan, and I'm also owner of Monster Hunters aboard the M.T. Pockets. I have been fishing alongside Captain Mike about 8 years now, but fished ever since I was able to hold a pole in my hand...One might say that the pursuit of charter fishing and guide has been a personal passion that I've been training for my entire life! Super excited to get out on the water with ya's)

Tight Lines!



"Unconditionally... providing a fun, friendly, fishing and safe adventure will always come first!"
