So the forecast changes often, huh? Makes it hard to plan a trip!! I'm coming up Saturday and Sunday. My boat is a 175 Sea Nymph, not very big. I hope i can get out Saturday afternoon!

You can always set up in Olcott harbor, anchor and fish for Kings. More of a night-bite thing.

[S Mick]

CT, If you do go, I would definately have a game plan to fish whatever harbor you plan on launching out of instead of trolling the pierheads. Doing so is pretty popular in certain areas this time of year, especially into the eveining hours. Bring a good asortment of rattle traps/and mid-diving plugs/casting spoons. Also consider floating/dead drifting some bait. Be forewarned, you will have company. Looks like Sunday will be your best bet on the lake.

[Chautauqua Tony]

Gill-t, I was planning on doing some night fishing at olcott Saturday night. Do people just fish anywhere in the Harbor?

S Mick, Thanks for the input! Do you think drifting with smelt would work? Should i stick with eggs sacks or skein? I think Saturday i'm going to try the Niagara River for the day and give the lake a shot on Sunday.

[Chromeslayer]

sw winds 2mor 20-30mph with gusts to 45.... you can prolly cross the Niagara off your list as well as erie will be dumpin mud into the lower river

[S Mick]

CT, stick with the plug/spoon/skein program. Olcott, Oak Orchard are both good bets. We've had good success in the late evening hours and into the early AM. As C'Slayer said, you can cross the Lower Niagara off your list for this weekend, looks like one big mess headin' into Friday night.

[Chautauqua Tony]

Sounds like I'm S.O.L for Saturday then. Any Suggestions for the day time???
