Needed a fish fix so took a quick solo trip this morning. Grandsons were very interested in my catch when I returned. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Had a nice morning on the river. Some quality fish and we released about the same number. Deep water had fish in some different locations but once we found them it was good. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Thought someone would call me out. The two biggest on top right are bluegills, the rest are pumpkinseeds. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United

I haven't fished the Canadian side in that area but they catch them at Chippewa Point and I've caught them just up river from there on the US side near the channel. LllI'm sure they are present throughout the river. As EsoxAC3 said lots of ways to catch them but finding them, controlling the boat in the current and fishing at night are all keys. I'd concentrate on 25-50 fow on shelfs along drop offs with current. Water around Grenadier isn't as deep and has less current than areas I tend to fish. I like to troll so I can cover more water and hit more spots to locate active fish. I generally am fishing close to the US shipping channel. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United

We saw them the other night but fortunately they didn't check us. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United

Had a fun evening with a fly rod and popper. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

If you know where they are located they can be caught on jigs and jigging spoons but you can't cover as much territory as trolling. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United

Last year was the best fishing early in the season that I have witnessed. Generally I find that things pick up and become much more predictable latter in June and in July. With high water and colder water temperatures things should only improve. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United

A couple week ago ones I caught in Black River Bay were full of Mayfly nymphs. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United

One walleye had 10 gobbies and a perch I it's stomach. I actually thought it had eaten a rock bass until I cut it open. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Very nice. They are fun to catch on fresh water gear. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United

I know it does work. Lots of information on rigging if you look up Detroit River hand lining. Those reels aren't cheep. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United

Captain Tom Ewing is a great guy and knowledgeable of the area. He's been at it a long time and can likely put you on both the warm and cold water species you mentioned depending on weather and water temperatures. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United

I think as long as you stick to the hook point restictions per line you are ok. I have a friend from Ottawa that picked a couple up last year after fishing with me and uses them successfully on the river. They use Victrola rigs, etc. on the Finger Lakes so don't see any issues. Different than jug fishing and trot lines which I don't believe are legal. Sent from my iPad using Lake Ontario United

Well said Prof T. Bottom line is it takes a great deal of time and experimentation to figure out techniques that work on various locations. Probably not going to be highly successful if you just run out for a night or a weekend. I've put in years of experimenting to become consistent on the SLR and it still isn't easy. Need to be observant and try different approaches to find out what works. Boat control in the current is very key. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
