I went to the Ft. Erie show.
Ordered my kayak trailer, and bought some supplies from Bruce’s wife and from Top Notch Tackle.
They showed me a neat hook that keeps ur drop shot bait perfectly level, so ordered some of them.
Other than those things, I came away feeling disappointed in the rest of the show…seemed like a lot of used things.
But getting my yak trailer, which was the key thing I went there for.
Its going to be an interesting spring hunt this year with the major variations we’ve had in the weather these past few months.
Allthe mild weather we had might trigger a very early spring breeding season.
Article said they filed in the US.
NF mayor claims business as usual in the Falls.
Hey Bill, maybe they will let us troll from the back of their boats.
Never fished either for browns or the L Ont shore before, but, considering my poor luck in Ft. Erie lately, I have to try it.
What other lures besides cleos work for browns? How about rapalas, or plastic minnow baits?
And what weight line does everyone use?
Well, that was a wasted trip….the river was full of sediment!
2 weeks ago I could see down at least 5 feet.
Today a white plastic twistertail disappeared 6”-8” below the surface!
Its cold, but sunny, and seems like too nice a day just to sit around and do nothing, especially when everything is closed.
So I’ve decided I’m going to Ft. Erie this afternoon and try fishing the river again.
Been trying all my fav stuff for them at Ft. Erie….lures, plastics and jigs, but just haven’t had any luck at all there from shore.
Tried minnows the last trip hoping they might work, but nothing.
Unfortunately, I had to sell my Legend boat 3 years ago after it became a money pit…67 rivets replaced, 3 hull welds, then the motor started going…new stadter, then needed 4 replacement carbs.
All I have now is my Wilderness Systems Ride fishing kayak, and a 16 ft aluminum with a 20 Hp we inherited from my cousin.
Is it just a bare jig, or does he add a white plastic to it?
i’ve tried white jig + white twister tail from shore, but absolutely no luck with it there.
