Why no boats on the water?

[Kuba]

Have a day off tommorow, i was thinking of going out, but for the past WHILE i noticed there is nobody on the water, Why?

Deer season? Musky season? Fish in tribs? Marinas winterizing and putting away boats?

You will basically have the water to yourself! Have a great trip and be safe /wear your pfd's!

Lol, didnt go, maybe tommorow, but how about the fish in big O? Are they still biting?

I'm certain that they're still biting, but I think that the water level and lack of safe launch sites has hampered even the few who might venture out this time of year. I used to anchor in 8 ft right off Braddock's point in mid-November years past casting for browns and lakers. I imagine the same holds true now.

i have a good launch site i guess at this time of year it is a hit or miss on what depth to go to?

Offshore will have more of a consistant bite.

Agree guys are getting there sleds ready, but the Niagra river is a good place to see guys out fishing

Some guys are still fishing, not many though ... everyone is looking north to the deer and snow.

Anyhow, it is difficult to have a good day, as winds and weather will likely scatter fish. Offshore (300 fow +) is probably a good place to get consistent fish, but I would not take on the risk of going that far with the water being so cold. Would take much to end up seeing St. Peter. Personally, I would stick close to river mouths and you will likely pick up steelies.

Watch out for the winds, they are forecasted to pick up badly tomorrow.
