Thank you! Mostly 2nd degree burns but it is inbetween my fingers and on the joints which makes it hard to use my hand, It is healing well tho. Hopefully I can get out by then, or else I plan to target lakers in the lower niagara river in the spring.

Thanks brotha! Hopefully y’all make the best of the last of winter fishing

Thanks all for the suggestions, but unfortunately I burnt my hand really bad on Sunday trying to put a fire out (hence my late reply 😂).I think I am out of fishing for a month atleast. Hopefully by the time I can get out on the water again the fish are out of winter mode. 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Thank you brother! When you mention soft plastic minnow imitators would you say little 3 inch keitechs fall under that category? I have been using those a lot and also 4 inch mister twisters, but not under a float. I do think I have been fishing too fast tho from how you explained your techniques. Also I actually have been looking for baitfish as well, I haven’t seen one yet, at that quarry I mentioned in the warmer months I see thousands of bluegill but I am assuming they are all still out deep? I usually go on the warmer days aswell. Also do you have any recommendations on what size slip floats I should be using? At the moment I have 16g raven slip floats I use for salmon and steelhead at the whirlpool, i feel like they would be alright since it is rated for just over half an oz

Will try it next time i’m out there. I actually have a chrome husky jerk that’s been collecting dust in my box since I got it a year ago lol (I don’t throw jerk baits a lot)

Thanks brotha I will try that

So I’ve been bank fishing all over the region the past few weeks looking for pike. I’ve tried lake gibson, the chippawa creek, and even a little quarry by queenston that I know holds pike (fished the whole shoreline there, usually in the summer I get atleast a couple bites at the quarry most times I go). I’ve used all kinds of lures (big and small swimbaits, spinners, spinnerbaits, spoons) using different retrieval methods and I haven’t gotten a single bite. Does anyone have any tips on how to target them in our area this time of year?
