Raider Outfitters LLC in Plattsburgh, New York, offers tailored fishing on Lake Champlain with a clear focus: putting people on fish and making sure their time on the water counts. Owned and operated by Captain Scott Thurber, a seasoned angler with over 45 years of hands-on experience, the operation reflects both skill and steady leadership. Scott spent much of his career in law enforcement and served on an Adirondack swift water and ice rescue team, bringing discipline and a focus on safety to every trip. His wife Tricia is on board for every charter, helping run the deck and sharing techniques, especially with those new to fishing. Her straightforward, effective approach often results in beginners reeling in more than they expected.
Irish Raider Outfitters is grounded in a deep respect for Lake Champlain and its consistent fishing opportunities. Whether you’re casting for bass in the shallows or chasing Lake Trout in deeper water, Scott and Tricia adjust their approach based on the season and conditions. Trips are built to suit newcomers as well as those looking to fine-tune their skills. Every session on the water is geared toward keeping lines tight and making the most of the time.
There are two trip options. The 4-hour charter, available in the morning or afternoon, is ideal for targeting Smallmouth Bass, Largemouth Bass, Lake Trout, Northern Pike, and Landlocked Salmon. The 6-hour trip offers more flexibility to switch tactics or cover more ground. Both run on a 2021 21-foot Trophy Center Console, equipped with up-to-date fishing gear, electronics, and all required safety gear. The boat accommodates up to four people, with the option to include two more upon approval from the captain.
