Real problem is lake O is flat and five minutes later three footers are bouncing you all over. Under estimating this lake can get you killed. We lost a thirty year vet on the west end this spring. Lake ontario and the niagara river are not like other water.

June swoon. Same every year. Previous post is spot on. They will be here soon. Never soon enough.

Just for the record i drive a tractor trailer all over NE. Mass is the minors. Ct nyc and jersey are the real deal. The BQE and the LIE have fatal wrecks weekly. God help you if your there when its raining. The fishing is outstanding though.

We got a few kings mixed with steelies on sat. No size.

Flipped boards are the worst. Anyone who has had to recover and clean up after that will agree.

Been rough on the west end as well.

Wish they would thin some sea gulls

20' of 30lb pline works great. Rubber thingsare subbers. Used with dipseys. They have no use with lead core

They are killin em offshore ar pougeau bay. Sping run was a couple weeks late

Fleas have been light the last couple years and i expect that will continue this year. We trolled from wilson to the line yesterday. No fleas

Close outs at cabelas more than make up for tax. I was in scarbough me on buissness in august looking at new penn 330s for rigger rods. Guy at the fishing desk says they are discontinued. Lowest sell price is $39. I took the last six. They rock.

Made a trip to auburn from buffalo. What a rotton store. Picked out couple hundred$ worth of stuff. Got to check out. Every. And i mean every item came up full price. None matched on line price. Cashier had to find each item in the catalog so i could get ad prices. I was furious. I stopped her halfway through and left. Bass pro gouges you for going to the store. I know why. The same reason CVS doesnt change their sale prices. They make a fortune. Its the same as stealing. Bass pro blows. Polor opposite...cabelas. bargin cave. Their people go out of their way to price match. Store sales are real deals. If youve never been, go see the new cabelas in buffalo.

Ive fished with a number of captains in the lower niagara. They all have lunds. Im no expert. They are like fishing from a dock. I dont know what makes them so stable. You can have three full size guys on one side of the boat and it doesnt lean. They blow me away every time. I fish off a 43 year old penn yan. If i didnt have kids id have a 22ft lund barron.

Look up some of the posts on cheaters. It doesnt have to be one or the other.

Thats a tough question. Buy local sounds great. I have yet to find anyplace that has everything i need. I make a list in the late fall and do all my shopping in winter months. Do i want to pay an extra 25-50% to buy local? On line is really the only way to outfit and get everthing you need. I was in cabelas recently and pulled up a reel online and they took off another $30. The local shop i visit would laugh and call me bad names if i asked them to price match. Lets face it trolling for gear is as much a part of fishing lake ontario as getting in the boat. Visit a-tom-mik web site. Its a must. Spoons from warrior. Owners swivils with the extra ring. Spin doctors that arent just the ten that are in every store. Hooks? Fish hawk? Riggers? Best line? Cooler? Boat parts? I need a drink.

Mike at warrior puts together spoons that last. Split rings on every spoon. The best glow spoons. The art on the package is simple and classy by the way. I have that sexy babe on my windshield. Most important. They dont bend under normal use. I have been using them five years and none are missing paint. Warriors the only spoon i buy anymore.
