kgm Posted August 7, 2017 Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 Went out this morning for a few hours on the welland river. Finally witnessed a musky and a walleye caught out of there. I didn't catch either unfortunately but was very happy to be a part of it. Musky was about 32", the walleye was small. Both were released. Beautiful morning to be out on the water.

I don't have a depth fender on my boat, was thinking of launching across from the welland port airport, any structure I should be aware of in that area?

If you go left from the launch towards welland, on the left side of the river just before the bridge there is a small conservation area or something like that. Stay out from shore a ways there, it gets very shallow. I buried my motor in the mud there one time. Aside from that it's ok depth wise. Like gunner said, watch for the odd stump sticking up. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep my boat in that area but farther up stream at my trailer ...Just put it in this week (busy summer ) I usually go up past Webber and anchor but wanted to try trolling now that I've sorted out my minn kota issues. BTW I'm in a Starcraft SFM 170 (white and blue ) so say Hi if you see me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
