heavy cover Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Booked a few days off to enjoy some pike fishing. Managed 7 on saturday between 2-5 lbs.plus an o.o.s. musky which I estimate at 45 inches. Musky was really clean and strong, especially for local waters. Sunday was a write off due to gusting winds. 67 kmh wind gusts and a canoe don't go well together. Monday was really slow only 2 pike. Today landed 5 and had several short strikers. The weather was terrible, broke a rod, and froze my but off a couple mornings, but I still enjoyed myself . The only picture(s) is of the musky. Two guys in a small boat came over and offered to net the fish(nice that they offered) and took a picture of the beast. I have never figured out how to load pics from my phone, so sorry no pr0n.

Horrorshowrot Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Wait where did you catch a musky? Is it as random as catching them at the whirlpool? The only musky I caught was just shy of 5 ft long and I was 6. The fish was taller/longer then I was. If you would like I can upload the picture for you just send it to my email Scholtensrsvp@hotmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heavy cover Posted May 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 yes ...how is the muskie fishing in there?is it rare to hit a muskie there? Welland river can be quite good for musky. Biggest I know of (I didn't catch) is 53 Inches. The closer to Niagara seems to hold more/bigger musky. Colours are identical to the niagara fish. If you want specific location send me a pm please.

coyotehunter Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 The llast I heard of the Niagara River is one of the most productive Musky waters in Ontario on a hours per fish basis. Being a tributary of the Niagara it is only reasonable to find muskies in it. I have caught them in the Port Robinson area as well as Pike, Chinook, rainbows, largemouth and smallmouth bass, among other species. The carp and catfish fishing is great and bowfin are often caught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jordanl Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 The highest numbers musky fishery I believe is lake st.clair. i think he was just saying that the niagara is one of the best, not saying that it was the best, but st.clair is pretty popular for the size and numbers of musky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rile Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 The niagara river is quite a tough musky fishery these days, numbers are way down from what they used to be but it is definitely on its way back with lots of young fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
