Bass-turd

I’m going to the jays game tomorrow so hopefully Sunday 

That’s good to hear, must’ve been a great feeling for the angler

I'm happy to say the owner picked up his tackle bag tonight .

If you belong to any other fishing forums it never hurts to try posting there, If not smerch I can post something for you

After meeting some of our members during the SCGFA cleanup I checked out a few other spots to fish for pike and I found a back pack full of tackle that I think was forgotten or fell off the back of a pickup ,ect.  I put it in my van and waited for about 30 min. but no one came for it . So , knowing some people may not be honest and keep it I decided to post it here since we have many 'guests' who checked NFN daily . Describe the bag and some of the contents and I will meet up at Port Dal. as it's only 15 min. away . There is a LOT of tackle in this heavy back pack , I hope the owner gets it back !
I posted here as I'm  not sure if the Lost/Found thread is open for non members .

Thanks bass man, mixed bag really... beads, streamers and roe for the most part... just when and where?! Haa!

Got out in the sun today and was rewarded with my first shore brown, approx 26-28 inches and about 5-6lbs, caught on a 1/4 oz Cleo in chrome/green……the weather is looking favourable the next little while for early trouters, just be careful the rocks on shore can still be ice covered

These work to........
 

I run 15lb braid with 10lb floro leader, I’ll move to 8lb when it’s clearer. Bass sized square bill crankbaits work, rogues and husky jerks too, as for plastics try a 3 inch paddle tail that’s resembles a goby, I’ve done pretty well on the keitech baits

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?

Beauty! 

Beauty brown , I remember when cleos were the lure du jour for browns at Port D. and we had to keep a tad up from the snaggy bottom .
We also used the alligator spoons and kwickfish . 

Nice catch 👍

I agree Tyler I cant seem to wait for the spring browns, I'm already chucking some lures out there on the warmer sunnier days, no luck yet but only tried a couple times

Here’s Jordan marina today, doesn’t look like there’ll be any safe ice anytime soon

I’m no pro and I’m just starting to get into the drift game on the Niagara myself, there’s a bunch of YouTube vids on the subject, I like paul castellano, anyone who is a guide I would take their advice 

I target them a lot, love fishing for them, got a few trays worth of lures dedicated to chasing em down, and don’t get me started on their topwater strikes….anyone else see them shoot out of the water like a cruise missle when striking your topwater? Best thing ever
