Fishing Charters in Laconia

3 listings · ranked by rating & reviews · updated 2026

Fishing charters put you on the water with a licensed captain, a rigged boat and local knowledge of where the fish are running. The market splits by trip length and water: an inshore or half-day trip commonly runs about $400-600 for the boat, while an offshore or full-day deep-sea trip lands closer to $1,000-2,000. Most captains price by the boat rather than per person, so a group of four splits the cost, and many include rods, reels, bait and tackle - always ask what is covered and what you bring. Rates vary by port, season and target species, so compare a couple of operators and confirm trip details, pricing and availability directly with the operator before you book.

Ask each operator exactly what is provided and what you should bring, along with their policy on keeping or releasing your catch.
How do I choose a fishing charter? +
Compare Google ratings and review counts across a few operators, check which species and waters they target and the trip length that fits you, and ask what the price includes. Reviews mentioning the captain by name are a good signal. Once you have a shortlist, confirm trip details, pricing and availability directly with the operator.
How much does a fishing guide cost in Laconia? +

What fish can you catch on Lake Winnipesaukee? +
The main targets are lake trout (togue) and landlocked salmon, with smallmouth bass and rainbow trout also in the mix. Salmon and trout are the deep-water draw; smallmouth work the rocky shorelines.
When is the best time to fish Lake Winnipesaukee? +
Right after ice-out in spring, salmon and lake trout feed near the surface and are easiest to reach. In summer the fish go deep and guides switch to downriggers and lead-core line to get down to them.
Is there ice fishing on Lake Winnipesaukee? +
Yes, and it is a big scene. Once the lake freezes solid, anglers set up bobhouses and fish tip-ups and jigs for lake trout and salmon through the winter. Always check local ice conditions before heading out.
