East or West, doesn’t matter.

Incredible brown fishing continued today as I anticipated a warm overnight rain and encroaching cold front would have fish snapping. Water temps in 18 mile was 47 degrees, and lake temp in the 41-42 degree range already. Wicked big brown bite today with riggers and size zero dipsy getting blasted. The fish were aggressive hitting the close lines over board lines with numerous aerial displays. Small gold and orange spoons and sticks today. Spoons were chosen 4:1 over sticks. One silver fish lost at the back of the boat but couldn’t tell if it was a steelhead or coho. Bait is present. I think we will see salmon showing up by next weekend.

I looked ahead at this week’s weather and didn’t see any freezing temperatures forecasted so I did nothing. If freezing temps were forecasted I would have run the non-toxic antifreeze through. get one of these and a set of muffs

Olcott. Docks are in.

Brian, the Vibrax was in the water for two minutes before it went.

Stupid easy fun fishing continues along the Niagara County shoreline. Water is still cold with 36 degrees the warmest found today along shore. Brown spread consisted of six board lines, one zero dipsy and two riggers. Everything caught fish. We amused ourselves by trying to see how many different baits we could catch fish on so after a bait took a fish, we would remove and replace it with something. As the morning progressed we tried getting creative with our bait choices. Some of the lures we caught fish on included a Reel Keel plug, a size 3 j-plug, a vibrax spinner, a spin and glow plus many stickbait and spoon iterations. In the end we concluded we could have caught fish on a cigarette. We did poke out into Laker Land to have a look. We liked the graph but fish were not biting out there. Good to see some bait around and fat healthy fish. The last pic was a fish that looked like it came out of the finger lakes with very little body spots.

Sorry Hank. It won’t happen again.

I have a question to pose. Has Fox News reported on how the informant in the 3 year Hunter Biden Burisma story was arrested for making up the whole thing by getting his info from Russian intelligence? Probably not much. Has Fox News shown any texts messages from Hanity, Tucker, or Laura that were made public in the Dominion case where they all state they know the election steal was a lie and they think Trump is an idiot? Probably not. How many of Trump’s circle have either plead guilty to crimes or are currently being investigated? I typically lean to the right on my voting but I gladly placed a default vote for Biden to keep the Insurrectionist and Chief out of office. This insanity of clinging to a lying criminal by the brainwashed MAGA crowd has kept the Republican Party from promoting a decent candidate. Do we really believe in a country made up of 331 million people that these candidates are the best of the best? Reagan is rolling over in his grave with Trump’s love affair with all things Putin. I don’t get it. We should demand better. We deserve better. Trump didn’t beat Biden the first time because Independents like me chose Biden. There will be even more Independents voting Democratic this time around. Trump can’t win.

Stocking is funded by money earmarked from the federal Pittman-Robertson Act. It has nothing to do with who is in office at any level. Might I suggest sprinkling in some news stations other than just Fox to learn about all the things Fox is not telling you.

Yep 👍, always fun with good folks!

Looks like the weather starts to break again around the week of the 26th. It’s going to be an early spring this year. Time to start boat prep gents!

No ice around. We saw 38. 7 degree water today in Niagara County. Lots of fishes.
