upper river

[metalheadangler]

hi all, I'm new to the boards here, and have some questions.

first off, ive been fishing for about 12yrs now, mostly from shore, and have had a fair amount of luck in the lower river, and welland river(still fishing for the most part in the welland river). I now live in fort erie(3yrs now) and havent been able to really catch anything worth bragging about...(1 6lb smallie in the spring 2yrs ago on a blue fox spinner)

what should i be using to catch bigger bass from shore? what time of day? weather?

also my friend recently bought a boat, and ive never fished the river from boat (he hasnt really fished much at all)

what are you using to catch what? and where, when , and what weather? lately i havent been a fan of worms cause of the gobys(lil buggers!)

any info would be greatly appreciated

You could try fishing the mouth of the river. Try drifting tube jigs, worm harness, or jigging spoons. All have worked well for me.

They've been dragging heavy weights to keep the harnesses down. The last few years have been good for me but this year I've been catching my limits of
