Niagara River Musky Reports

[Gill-T]

Those hooks are probably Lakers.

Yes, the hooks I showed here were probably Lakers or Big Walleye, but other hooks I did not take a picture of were very thick hooks just like muskies mark.So much gizzard Shad kinda hard to fool any fish into an artificial lure!

Today I was to have gone trout fishing on the Upper Niagara River, did not make it clients were sick in motel room this morning.I will try to get out Friday after Christmas to run Stabil through the motors and catch some steelhead.Then I will have the boat shrink wrapped and stored until mid March!

[mostlymuskies]

Well the river & lake are brown, so I guess it is time to clean everything out of the boat and stretch wrap it for the 2 1/2 month lay up until March when it is time for Cave Run,KY!

Hi Larry. What was your biggest musky this year? What's the biggest you heard of?

[mostlymuskies]

Tom, Big Hawg muskies never came in this year water stayed in mid to upper 40's out in Lake Erie till the end, holding gizzard Shad and Big Spotted Muskies out deep.

The biggest I caught at Chautauqua was 49 1/2" and 48 1/2" on the Niagara River with nine other fish from 47" to 48", only 91 muskies total for the year, but missed all of September, half of October & November this past year.

Biggest for the Niagara River was 51" and biggest I seen a picture of from the "Larry" was 56"!

Thanks Larry!  Only 91? You're amazing.That only happens for me in my dreams...

[mostlymuskies]

Tom, The 91 muskies included Ohio, Pa, NY & Ontario Muskies to my boat, that is down 50+ what I normally catch each year.There are guys claiming to catch 100+ muskies a week on St. Claire!

[Tom B]

Amazing.

Thanks for the update Larry. have a great new year.

[Tom B]

Larry,

have you fished Lake St Clair? 

[mostlymuskies]

Tom, Yes I have fished Lake St.Claire, good numbers of muskies, more smaller fish then bigger ones.The bigger muskies on the Niagara River / Buffalo Harbor trend to have much more girth.But St.Claire fishermen can have multiple fish days, some have caught over 20 muskies in one day!
