Fishing from shore

[ckilpatrick92]

I'll be camping in New York near Niagra falls this weekend but won't have a boat. Any advice for fishing Lake Ontario from shore?

Not sure if you've considered a charter from Wilson. Nice time of the year to go salmon fishing.

Head to art park or fort Niagara and you have a chance at some bass or walleye, they are still catching the occasional steelhead in the river too. Joseph Davis state park also has a fishing dock on the river that’s nice. I drift for bass in front of it in the spring.

The Niagara River probably has better access than the Lake Ontario shoreline.  ArtPark is an excellent choice.  Also, there is good shoreline fishing at the Robert Moses hydroelectric power station.  There is a parking area off rt 61 on the Power Authority service road.  There is a pier/dock for fishing access as well.
