Hello Everyone

I'm Jim Kinner, a longtime fisherman and diver. I fish the tribs pretty heavily during the runs.When I fish lake Ontario, I have a 12 year old  18 ft aluminum and a bunch of mostly 30 year old gear. Got riggers, Dipsy's and boards. Best suited to running spoons, as I have a lot of them. I do have some dodger and fly rigs, and a spin doctor or two. Also have some old J-Plugs. I don't know if anyone fishes them anymore? I'm located in Tonawanda N.Y. We mainly run out of Youngstown and occasionally Olcott. I like fishing the bar, and adjacent waters. I fish lake  Ontario only about 6 times a year. It's always nice to get current information & I hope this site helps with that. 

   I have shot underwater video for years. here's my latest from the upper Niagara. Hope you enjoy it.

Welcome to LOU Jim and thanks for the video very cool. Haven't seen that many smallies up close in a long while

Welcome to the forum, and thanks for sharing the cool video.

 

I was waiting for those bait fish to mimic the ones in Finding Nemo, and form into an arrow to point you in the "right" direction . My son told me it was based on a true story, but he was real young back then.

Welcome. Very cool to see their environment up close and personal.

Welcome to LOU. Your video was awesome. Very well done! When are you going to make a vid of the St Lawrence River? [emoji12]

Thank you. I have quite a few on my you tube channel that were filmed in the St Lawrence in previous years.  This year, the only thing I filmed up there this year was a little piece on underwater lighting where I evaluated an inexpensive light  for sports cameras. It's intended for divers, but here it is.   

 

Picked up one nice coho and a laker trolling Ontario yesterday. Marked lots of bait.
