SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

====================

Well gentlemen, wanted to report on our Niagara LOC trip this year. Had very high hopes as in prior years in scoring on multiple King action. Mother nature had other plans as last week's winds/ storms and rains turned the Niagara Bar region into a muddy playground.

Not for lack of Marks on the fishfinder as this was constant screen action throughout the whole trip in the deeper waters 40-200fow. I guess that's why we call it FISHING.

The Fish are there, they were just not on the feed. When the water clears and these fish do decide to turnon - it will be mayhem for all the lucky fishermen who are there when this happens.

Needless to say we had to work for our fish boated. We had ever changing winds from E /NE to NW to E back to NW/W. Could not find a consistent Program out deeper 40ft - 300ft. We did find 1 nice patch of off colored water on Tues in 45 fow off the red can that yielded a bunch of lakers , 2 kings and few cohos.

The only constant program we found was the inshore fishery off 4 mile on Wed and Olcott area on Thursday AM as we landed numerous Browns, a steelhead, and a mid sized King in the off colored shallow waters.

Overall had a nice fishing trip like always, off from work , with good friends, good eats and good drinks.

Good luck to all in the LOC and upcoming tournaments and TIGHT LINES!
