Thanks fir the help. we only caught 2 bass but managed to pull in a 28 in. Musky which was a nice surprise. Two fronts moved through that day which didn't help. We also went last Sat and got skunked but we didn't realize the river would be that stained and flowing as fast as it was oh well we know what to look for before we go next time. The water temp was 54 We were marking a lot of fish and the structure looks great in there. Can't wait to get out there and pull a few more fish before the end of the year
My buddy and I are going to the upper niagara tomorrow for smallmouth I've never fished the river before any suggestions on some areas where I might be able to hook up and maybe a good launch to go to? Not new to bass fishing at all I live on lake ontario and fish that and erie as much as I can. Appreciate any advice thank you

John1947 that is really good to hear. I have had the opposite luck in the Hamlin/ Hilton area. what part of the lake are you fishing? I haven't gone for any smallies in a few weeks now because I just can't seem to catch one in the lake anymore

Very nice fish! Is that how you primarily fish for them by trolling? I've been having a difficult time this year in Lake Ontario

Anyone fish lewis shoal yet? My buddy and I tried today. We fished 5-40 fow and not even 1 smallmouth. Had a small one follow a crank to the boat in 30 fow but didn't take. We threw tubes, wacky, cranks, sticks and drop shots. The only thing we didn't have was live bait. I've put a lot of time trying to catch a bass in the lake the passed couple of months and from Devils nose to lewis shoal and everywhere in between I've been skunked. Is anybody having any luck out there? It's definitely a lot harder to find them out there. It's not like it used to be

Glad to see someone is catching them. How deep have you been catching them I have had no luck this year with the smallies. I live in the Rochester area. Any advice would help I'm lost

The oak has been great this year. Were you fishing out in the lake or the creek? If the lake how deep were you catching them at?

It's definitely not what it used to be. They're out there somewhere lol I saw a whole bunch in real shallow at watoma a few weeks ago sitting on beds. Lately I've fished deep, shallow, and everywhere in between. Maybe it's my luck but still not one smallmouth out of the lake

Anybody catching any smallmouth around the sandy Creek area? Been trying watoma and Devils nose can't seem to even get a bite
