  1. Awesome 👏
  2. Charter boats would not be in the spot you are fishing unless they were catching something.
  3. Today we took a little inventory of the waters off the Catt to see where we are in the seasonal cycle. We hopped around and sampled five different bands of water. -Off the mouth - shoals 37’- 52’ have scattered resident walleye (eater size). -62-64’ - have schools of perch with eater sized walleye mixed in -80’ + has remaining Ohio fish to play with. Bring your riggers, dipsys and longer junk lines - 42’ slightly west of silver creek had some impressive schools of white perch if that is your thing. - 23’-36’ contours were devoid of walleye and bass west of port. fish tacos tonight
  4. This fish lasted on the board for 1/2 day lol. Note red belly. I was seeing evidence of Browns shoal spawning off the Niagara this fall. I do catch them as high up as whirlpool but I think from the drift off the fort boat launch to the drop off, there is natural reproduction happening.
  5. Not when it’s going to be 80 degrees.
  6. Beautiful pumpkinseed !
  7. Specially when a big buck is below you.
  8. Ya put it over your head in a treestand under the ozonics label
  9. I have a Kansas tag in my pocket.
  10. I have to ask…..if ozone destroys rubber, what is it doing to people’s lungs??
  11. If you go up for the pike opener in the spring, I used to catch lots of pike by fishing shiners under a bobber at the DEC launch near the outflow.
  12. With the tributary season upon us I would remind anglers to use good stewardship practices to help maintain access. In my lifetime I witnessed a huge area of Oak Orchard creek and the Salmon River loose public access. This article is a good read. https://www.outdoorlife.com/opinion/losing-local-fishing-accesss/

  13. Similar to the snakehead issue, people will find they can cohabitate without much negative effects.
  14. The bar marks on the perch are unreal out of that lake. Looks like a Rapala stickbait paint job.
  15. Punch weeds with jig and trailer plus topwater frog for bass. Under docks with wacky rigged worm. Find the deepest water for pike. If you can collect shiners from little creeks nearby, fish under a bobber for pike. The St Lawrence is only 20 minutes away if you are taking your boat.
  16. Do you buy scratch offs or Lottery tickets?
  17. No kings at the Niagara drop today. This time of year the graph is loaded. Not sure where they all went after the rollover last week. I had to fish for browns to salvage the day. A head scratcher for sure.
  18. I have 4 Cabela’s Depthmaster reels with upgraded T handles and leadcore that I probably will be upgrading at the end of the season. You can have them.
  19. Quick limits out of Barcelona this morning were reported. Worm burners.
  20. Niagara bar access points are Fort Niagara or Wilson. Youngstown launch is free but can be a S-show.
  21. Off-gassing will take time to cure. You might try putting them in a bucket of water for awhile, leaving them in your car and allow the heat of summer to bake off smells. I know an old technique to get tar off the hands is use mayonnaise. Maybe a little mayo rub?? I don’t buy rubber boots for the same reason you are worried about. Off-gassing takes time.
  22. I got a couple of good Barcelona reports from those that got out early Saturday before the wind started cranking. Seems like the water has normalized
  23. Nice report. Rick, did you get the sense that the water was starting to stabilize from the goofy weather we had last week that really screwed things up?
  24. Best report I have seen. Thanks for taking time to post a detailed experience.
