It tells me there is not much suspended activity in a river. All bottom oriented.

Giant mud puppy! People wonder what a worm harness looks like to predator like a walleye and I usually reply a mudpuppy. On East wind roll-overs on Erie they wash up on shore in droves.

What?....,Olcott harbor dirty?

Sorry to hear about the lost rod. Any bait in the harbor?

Yes, down below town at yacht club. Park up top across from exit in town (slight left then right out of exit).

Youngstown not lewiston

Boat tarp is off. Rods rigged. Just need the winds to cooperate and the road salt to be gone for next weekend.

Been watching the jet stream hitting high into Washington State all week (poor Stan). Warm weather on way. Emerald Shiners have showed in the Upper Niagara and reportedly are already entering Lake Erie tribs. Reports of suckers being caught in creeks!! If you have not started on your spring gear yet.....better get crackin'

Pier season I rub my spoons with skein juice. Cheap and persistent odor left on lure. Make sure you clean them up when done fishing however.

Sixth sense.

Are there launches open?

Brian, does the Genny get a run of smelt?

In March the laker play is not a water temp issue. The lakers are there because they finished their spawn. They make nightly raids into the shoals to feed on gobies but there also smelt, gizzard shad, spot-tail shiners, and emeralds making inward movements as each day goes by. They are there waiting for the smorgasbord.

Depth will dictate presentation. You are not going to run flashers or cowbells in 30'. The gaudy flashy flashy stuff doesn't shine until you get out over at least 50'.

Lakers will be in the 30-70' range in March. It helps to have a good spread of stuff out. Leadcores in 4-8 colors, dipsys with flasher/flies or dodger/flies within 5' of bottom. Riggers with spoons. Speed is key. Keep it below 2 mph. Use thin spoons meant for slow speed. Don't be afraid to put giant spoons out there. We typically troll along shore for brown in one direction and when we get out of good water we just loop back thru laker water.

Northern season is closed. This time of year find state stocking land with nearby houses with bird feeders. Otherwise, coyotes, hawks and foxes wipe them out

For me it's a speed issue. If I am trolling slow below 2 mph then I put a lighter single siawash on.....otherwise it is a treble.

Quality fish!!!

The Atlanta offensive coordinator should be shot for calling passing plays with the ball at the Patriot 30 and 4 minutes left. Run, run field goal......game over.

yes
