About Moon Phase Charters

Fishing has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up on the water, I developed a deep appreciation for the sport, the challenge, and the pure excitement that comes with every catch. My love for fishing runs deep in my family—my grandparents owned Martino’s Restaurant on Lakeshore Road in Cicero, NY, right on the shores of Oneida Lake. They were also the founders of the Martino Perch Pirates, a group dedicated to perch fishing and the camaraderie it brings.

While perch fishing is in my roots, my passion for musky fishing has grown stronger over the years. There’s nothing quite like the thrill of chasing these elusive giants, and I’ve spent countless hours honing my skills in pursuit of the next trophy fish. The St. Lawrence River is more than just a body of water to me—it’s a way of life. Its powerful currents, stunning scenery, and world-class musky and walleye fishing make it an angler’s paradise.

Walleye fishing has also been a driving force in my journey, pushing me to refine my techniques and outsmart these prized fish. Whether it’s a crisp summer morning trolling for walleye or a brisk fall afternoon targeting monster muskies, every trip brings a new adventure. And like any dedicated angler, I’m always chasing that next big one—the fish that keeps me coming back, cast after cast.

But what truly fuels Moon Phase Charters is the joy of sharing these experiences with others. There’s nothing better than seeing the excitement on someone’s face when they land the fish of a lifetime. Whether you're a seasoned angler chasing a trophy or a first-time fisherman eager to experience the thrill of the catch, I take pride in creating unforgettable experiences on the water.
