One fishermen went zippo from 1 am to 8 am on the Upper West Niagara River,the other guy caught 40" & 37" muskies in the East River by Grassy Island casting Mr. Toothy Crankbaits! I went to the Harbor this morning was just getting settled in with the Trolling lines out,when I heard,my feet are cold I want to quit! The guy shows up in the winter with tennis shoes and light socks! So in I went and changed plans to hit the Upper Niagara River tonight at 7 pm until who knows maybe all night! Water temp is 51.5 degrees and will come down fast the next few cold nights.5 boats out in the Triangle today,we will see how they do.Water visibility is 7 to 8 ft with green tint. I have only two days remaining to book for the month of November for the Buffalo Harbor or Upper Niagara River Nov 12th & 14th still have a few days for early December in Canadian waters of Lake Erie & West Niagara River!

I was going out tonight, but picked up a day Harbor Charter for tomorrow.A couple fishermen are out tonight in the Upper Niagara River I will get their fishing report and give mine tomorrow.

I talked to a fishermen coming in at 1:00 pm at the SBH, he had caught 46" & 41" muskies this morning in the lake out from the South Gap.He quit when wind gusts went to 24 mph out of the NW bringing 4 ft era in the lake and 2 ft ers behind the walls. He only had a 16 ft aluminum boat.Water temp now down to 52 degrees with cold nights coming for a few days in a row, water surface temp will drop faster now.Harbor should load up with Bait Fish any day now.

While fixing the hooks on the crankbait he caught the 49 1/2" on, his back up lure connected with a fat 45"er! He is having a great night so far and I decided to watch football.Go to John Pensyl on Facebook to see pictures and video clip.For those who are not aware, Upper Niagara River your only allowed One(1) Rod per angler in Canadian waters, John's 3 muskies were caught using only one rod, by himself,in nasty weather conditions, Hardcore!

John Pensyl is out solo tonight just before those heavy rains move in at midnight, barometric pressure down to 29:74.So far he started with a chunky 42" and just a couple minutes ago he released a 49 1/2" Tank! He is the only one out on the river by himself, hardcore!

Water now has about 3 ft.of visibility, a couple low 40" muskies have been caught between the winds at night.Back out Friday night till about 2 am.

Today the river has 3 to 4 ft waves again'st the current and the water is turning very brown.Will be Saturday before it's fishable again.

Tonight we caught 40",27" & 41" muskies trolling Legend Perchbaits in 3 ft wind river current rollers.

Steve yes that one fish had red spot and other red scaring marks, looked like a male muskie beat up from spawning.

Rolling in the north wind current pushed waves of the Niagara River from 7 pm till 2:15 AM we managed 36",38",40" & 38 1/2" muskies to the boat.

Sluggo, I will 2nd what your saying, I do very good with Renosky's as well!

Back out tonight until about 2 am, going to need the Simms hat, gloves w/hand warmers and Mustang Survival Suit + the dust pan to possibly shovel snow.When we get into the 20 degrees outside temps I will need the ear muffins with hand warmers for the reels to keep drag washers from freezing up and Reel Magic spray to keep the leadcore from freezing together.Here we are in the November stretch, may big girl's pay a visit to everyone's boat that gets off the couch and on the water!
