    Turn off your fish symbol feature as those cartoon fish images may be blocking what you can see inside the bait schools. The bar always has fish around but usually the evening bite is better on the drop for bigger fish.

    Great idea!

    The Niagara flow is relatively flea-free due to Lake Erie water. This year the Niagara is pushing north and not staying along the South shore. Normally, I don’t have to deal with fleas in Niagara County. If you get a clog, have a second person push down on the wad and rub it back and forth (no jokes please) and the fleas mostly loose their attachment. Solo anglers....good luck.

    You won’t need to fish for lakers.

    So you just decided to fish for a couple of hours to put some fish on the board.....Lol.

    It was either Alewives or Gizzard Shad if they were bubbling up at surface. We get smelt and emerald shiners migrate into the upper and lower Niagara at certain times of the year. They head back to the lake at some point. I had asked Dr Weidel’s team to investigate alewife numbers in some of the bays along upper St Lawrence and their findings were almost none. I do find my fish finder shows much more bait after late July and always wondered if what I was seeing was additional winter bottom bait going into spawn-summer mode, new YOY alewives or bait coming back from the rivers. I think what I fall on is the increased bait seen in summer is a little of “all of the above” contributing

    Change your handle to “morning chaos”

    Musky torpedo in front of weighted steel. I run a 200’ and a 225’ section. I was catching kings with a flasher/ fly on that rig this weekend with the temp break at 68’, I would imagine I was at least down that deep.

    Pretty targets

    They should create a warm water species tournament with the same format. It would be good to promote tourism. Bass, Walleye, Carp. Ya I said it ......carp! This way the walleye division doesn’t take prize money away from anglers that will never travel to walleye waters.

    Big un’s! Well done!

    The north shore rolled over a couple of days ago. You won’t have to go out far to find fish.

    Alright gents, what target do want?

    How about filming each catch via cell phone or GoPro as each fish comes over the gunnels with a tournament pin placed on the fish as it hits the floor. Different colored pins for different teams with pins picked randomly out of a hat on the morning of.

    My love affair with the new Matthews continues. After practicing out to 60 yards a couple weekends ago, I had Jeff at Niagara Outdoors cut me some 5 mm Easton Axis 340’s. Moving into 20 yards after shooting at 60 makes it seem oh so easy. First three in the same hole. Now I need to find a target that can stop my arrows!

    Nice Atlantic!

    Since there are legal length restrictions on the different species, it might be a good idea to practice catch and release until you learn them by sight. There are some good color plates you can look at online but each fish species can change color based on time of the year so it can get confusing.

    Nice stack of fish.

    word of caution on those style of swivels, they will open up on a large fish. Look for coastlock or duolock swivel styles.

    It is about friekin time!

    I consider the no-cam. The only thing I don’t like about my VXR is more of an indictment on large cam bows. The big wheels make pulling the bow back like starting a ten speed on a hill. The initial draw is harder until you get to the letoff phase - which is a dream to hold. My shoulder is not liking the new technology. This weekend I did a bunch of shooting off my buddy’s deck. I found the reduced effect of gravity on the downward angled shots takes 5 yards off the optimizer sight algorithm so at 30 yards, I would place the sight on 25 yards and my arrows end up 4” low which is what I want for whitetails. Crazy to be shooting at 60 yards. I feel I would need the smaller pin to shoot beyond that distance for western hunts. No way shooting at a twitchy whitetail at 60 yards is ethical IMO. The deer would have to have its head down and feeding relaxed to even consider.

    Since Saturday, there is a nice trolling combo on the bottom of Otisco off Lader Point 😢

    You should have pre-scouted with the Kaho.
