Yankee's first weekend at the Niagara Bar

May 4th

 

Our first morning chartering in Niagara county did not disappoint! We had action all morning and boxed out early for this group from Syracuse. The Salmon were mixed right in with the Lake Trout in a pocket of warm water just to the West of Wilson. Thanks for the tip from John Forbes. Spoons that went today were Team Dreamweaver Sea Sick Waddler, Wonderbread, Carbon 14, and UV Two Face. We also had a Wonderbread Smartfish going with an A-Tom-Mik Mfg. Glow Blue Hammer out 60' on a diver. Riggers were firing from 35-50' down along with 150' A-TOM-MIK copper and 5 colors of FishUSA Stealthcore.

 

May 5th (morning)

 

What a difference a day makes. This morning we motored down to yesterday's waypoints and it was ice water. We spent the day in search mode. It resulted in one Salmon boated (Sea Sick Waddler off our Cannon Downrigger), and a bunch of Lake Trout. The Sea Sick Waddler was easily the man today. Everyone onboard had fun, and enjoyed a great day on the water!

 

May 5th (afternoon)

 

On our afternoon charter we stayed close to Port. One of my old soccer coaches and teammate made it out for some Lake Ontario fishing action. We had some great screens at the end of our first charter today, so we gave it a shot. We took a couple Salmon and a Lake Trout. The Salmon chewed Familiar Bite Alewife strips, and the Lake Trout took a Team Dreamweaver Rasta Goose as a sliding cheater on a 35' Downrigger. Highlight of tonight's charter was a Father/Son double on Salmon!
