WOW!!! That fish is a SLOB!! Congrats!! How much wire did he rip out?

I keep my drag pretty light especially for spring kings, so he really tore wire out! His first run brought me out to 700 and his second run to 850! Theresa did a great job of slowing the boat down and circling the fish, without her it would have stripped me for sure... Imagine a fall size king with the energy of a spring king, it was awesome!

Remember they didn't build that fancy place on paying winners!!! If you have the same luck there as you have had fishing, you'll be getting hds - 10 insted of the 5

Lets just hope my luck fishing tomorrow is better than my gambling luck tonight!

mags were working well for us in the beginning of the season but over the last few weeks we noticed they wanted smaller spoons.

[TOP SECRET]

So Theresa wanted to go back to Niagara on the Bar, so I thought id give everyone a bit more info...

We found an amazing place today called 4th sense. It's a hot sauce, barbecue sauce, seasoned oil place. They had hundreds of sauces and the best part; you can taste test EVERY SINGLE ONE! It was amazing. We bought some bhut jolokia barbecue sauce, wasabi horseradish sauce, garlic grape seed oil and a bunch of other stuff. If you like hot sauces it is a MUST SEE!

We tried someplace new for dinner it was "eh". Not bad but wouldnt go again. I got the beef burgolese with white truffle oil and it was good. Theresa got a bowl of seafood chowder, they brought her the spoon first and when she saw the size of the spoon she was expecting a heaping bowl of soup, instead she got a big bowl with a tiny pit in the middle with two spoonfulls of soup, it was almost laughable! The wilson boat house chowder BLOWS THIS AWAY!

We hit up another candy store for a candy apple, some truffles, and a marzapone.

This place has probably 100 different kinds of jams!

Ok, trust me and stop in this store and get a jar of the asagio cheese spread, delicious!

Theresa loves this store it's all hats! Really fancy hats (think kentucky derby). She found two she liked, one was $36 the other $180... crazy expensive but a neat place to try things on.

Theresa got a cup of icewine coffee at this place, it was good, sweet for a coffee..

This was some hippy store theresa wanted to go into, it had little knick knacks from all sorts of foreign impoverished countries..

Many of the stores are fido friendly, perfect for our pup Tavion.

There were quite a few other cool stores, had things like:

We still havent gone over to see the falls, maybe tomorrow.

Early day tomorrow, good luck everyone!

Thanks for these reports! I am layed up after disk surgery yesterday so I can live vicariously thru you. The moss is coming down the Niagara this time of year. You can usually avoid it by getting out past the drop (past 180'). Also, you can hit the bar from the fence to the red can. As you near the can heading east you will start the moss/weedy issues again. Past 350' is always good this time of year also.

Correction that was the 90 dipsey,with the wind and short wire length that fish fought like a teenager!

Sounds like you passed over the verticle temp break. Good spot to set up and fish your king gear.

There's not much of an option for direction today at least not without a mutiny on board...
