Lake Erie Smallmouth bass, walleye and musky fishing, Niagara River, Buffalo, New York. On the Eastern end of Lake Erie, no one knows more about or has been a fishing guide longer then Sport Charter Captain and Guide, Jim Hanley. Keep that in mind when you plan your next smallmouth bass, walleye or musky fishing trip to the waters off the Eastern End of Lake Erie and the Upper Niagara River near Buffalo, New York, USA.
Fishing Charter Captain/Fishing Guide Jim Hanley's experience has been acquired from 56 years of fishing and 34 years guiding on Lake Erie off Buffalo New York. Jim was the first ever to put his sign out for smallmouth guiding in 1978 and has not stopped since. The Buffalo, New York end of Lake Erie boasts the best deep water smallmouth bass, walleye and musky fishing anywhere in North America. You can expect to find smallmouth bass in massive numbers as well as trophy sizes, too. Early season creel limits are on smallmouth bass over 20 inches and all season limits require that a musky must be 54 inches in length. This should give you an idea of the outstanding growth rate for Lake Erie bass and musky off Buffalo, New York. Walleye fishing is the best anywhere and we catch them with the rod and reel in your hand. Our Lake Erie walleye are caught with spinning rods and light bait casting tackle, no handing off a rod and reel combination big enough to bring in a shark. The limit for walleye in New York for 2012 was extended to 6 walleye a day. That is one more then the 2011 creel limit of 5. It is expected to be a banner year for walleye fishing in New York this season!!
I am a full time Fishing Charter Captain on Lake Erie. I make my living by fishing, speaking at seminars about fishing and shooting video about fishing on Lake Erie. I don't fish with you in the morning and then go to another job in the afternoon, or take you fishing just on weekends. I am on Lake Erie everyday, weather permitting, from Late April to the end of November.
 "Lake Erie's smallmouth bass fishing is fantastic and when you fish with Jim Hanley, its even better than that! Jim knows Erie like an otter knows water. Believe me!"
Bill Dance, Host of Bill Dance Outdoors
"Lake Erie off Buffalo, New York is, by far, the most incredible trophy smallmouth bass fishing in the world right now, but knowing where to fish is another story. Hands Down- Captain Jim Hanley knows these waters better than anyone! Trust Me!!!"

Walleye fishing was amazing in 2011 and is expected to be even better in 2012. The DEC, in anticipation of another great season, raised the limit on walleye to 6, one more then in 2011. We fish for walleye in the old school tradition of bottom bouncing, not trolling with downriggers and planner boards. You hold the rod, feel the bite and reel your walleye in...its a lot more fun then having to pull in 300 feet of line. If you remember days of fishing with your Dad and the excitement of feeling that gentle pull of your line and setting the hook, then this is perfect for you. Book your date for 2012 now.
