CP’s Fishing Charter Service

CP’s Fishing Charter Service runs guided fishing trips on Otsego Lake out of Cooperstown, with full-day and half-day excursions. The main boat is a 23-foot Pro-Line that carries up to seven passengers, and larger groups can be taken out on other vessels. Trips leave from Cooperstown, a village at the southern end of the lake.

The lake has plenty of lake trout, brown trout and both small and largemouth bass. Captain-led trips mean there is nothing to bring but yourself, because the service provides all of the equipment and bait. It is a good outing for families, friends and baseball visitors who want a day on the water.
