Fishing in Western New York – Why These Boats Stand Out

Western New York offers some of the best freshwater fishing in the country. From the world-class walleye fishery of Lake Erie to the bass-filled waters of Chautauqua Lake and the salmon runs of the Niagara River, anglers here have a wealth of options. But the waters can be unpredictable — and that’s where having the right boat matters.

Warrior Boats are known for exceptional performance in rough water, making them ideal for Lake Erie and larger waterways. Their deep-V hulls cut through waves with ease, keeping you dry and comfortable.
Robalo center consoles and dual consoles are built with anglers in mind, offering fish-ready layouts that transition smoothly from family cruising to serious fishing.
Lowe Boats deliver durability, versatility, and value — perfect for smaller lakes and multi-purpose use.

By choosing from our current lineup, you’re investing in a boat already matched to the needs of Western New York anglers.

Tips for Choosing the Right Fishing Boat

  • Fishing Style – Do you primarily troll, cast, or jig? Different hulls and layouts favor different techniques.

  • Water Type – Fishing Lake Erie requires a boat that handles rough water, while smaller inland lakes allow for lighter, more portable models.

  • Passenger Capacity – Think about how many people will typically be on board.

  • Storage Needs – Make sure there’s enough space for your rods, tackle, and safety gear.

  • Budget – Consider the total cost of ownership, including maintenance, storage, and fuel.

Our team at Collins Marine is happy to walk you through these considerations and match you with the best boat for your needs.
