trevy727 Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Cool, nice job. Was down today, got one laker and lost another fish without seeing it. Only saw 2 other fish caught. Not many boats out either, maybe too cold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouy-o-bouy Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 i m new to fishing the river, and am pretty ignerant on the tackle to use so may i ask what is a kwikfish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fischer Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Kwickfish is considered a banana type plug that can be fished with the slightest currents. It gives off a distinct wobble . Run it off a three way swivel from a boat off a 6-8 foot lead in sizes k8-k9 . Good colors are usually silver or gold combined with pink or chartreuse colors.

bouy-o-bouy Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 thanks for the info. I ll have to pick a couple up before heading back down to the river. was there yesterday only managed a few perch. I stick to the Canadian side of the water. I hear the NY side is better. True?

Would this setup (with a Kwickfish), work from shore?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niagarangler89 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 yes iv had good luck with this is the glen and pool. Do you shorten up your dropper and leader for this set up? I've always thought that unless you were pretty much drifting vertically, the kwikfish would be sure to get hung up. I was also thinking that a decent sized corkie on the leader might work well for bouncing flatfish from the bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL got tired of loosing sinkers so i put a slip float above the 3 way set up and just fished it like a float. just use less weight on the bottom of the 3 way so you dont pull ur float underwater.

I'm not complaining though lakers on the pin are so fun. i have got pretty much all browns this year ,,,only a few bows have come into the boat,,not a whole lot of bait balls,smelt,on the sonar,,,i think when the big runs come onto the river there will be alot more bows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toaster Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 same here, way more browns than bows, but they have been fat and fighting great so i wont complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob Posted March 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 nice fish, looks like your futher down river. You having more luck down river or closure to queenston? im at the pump house drift,,,,my favorite,,,long drift and lots of fish.current and wind can be very tricky ,,may seem like a slow drift but takes practice to get the boat the right speed for a consistant drift,,seen many come and after two or three drifts leave because of the lack of boat control that is needed to get a good presentation..being constanlly on the trolling motor is the key Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
