Charter Types

At Tristate Esox Charters, we specialize in fishing trips targeting the esox family. Trophy pike, tiger musky and muskelunge (musky) are the apex predators of the freshwater systems they inhabit throughout the tristate area. They are our preferred fish to target when on the water. Many day trips often include bycatch of walleye, large and small-mouth bass, and occasionally perch. Casting traditional lures or a fly, trolling large lures or running live bait Tristate Esox can put you on the fish.
