It’s not pleasant for me. I only shore fish for salmon from 5-8am in the whirlpool or glen because there is always space at those times in those places. Plus it’s better fishing then. Queenston docks is the same. Guys show up and say "that's my spot" . Haha ya ok. Fist fights last year over shore fishing spots and even fights between shore guys and guys in boats trying to launch and running over lines etc. Bottom line is its WAY to congested, and not fun at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went for a walk after fishing & had a blast watching a 6 year old boy (with his dad) fighting a nice hen salmon with a 6' rod ! ...was using a big spoon , looked like it had skein .

Fishguy85 Posted September 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2021 Nice at least they had fun. My first salmon i ever caught was a 24 pounder i was excited as it was a big fish. I usually avoid queenston and stick to fishing the upper Niagara river unfortunately my father's up there in age and it would nearly be impossible for him to get back up the steps at the whirlpool.

Fishguy85 Posted September 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 Nice haul where abouts do you recommend in port ive tried by the dam years ago but lose my lures to the rocks not to mention being crowded so you couldn't cast out far.

They can be cast out a long way with 1 oz. lead and have great action at low speed . I use a 12" drop for the lead weight and 3 ft. lead .....seldom get hung up . I also like using a large Mepps spinner as I believe the turbulence from the large blade gets their attention ....slow retrieve with them also .

Mbocco Posted October 8, 2021 Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 Tyler. Bring your stingeye spinners. Though admittedly I’ve only hooked up on crankbaits this year so far. fishingking 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler0420 Posted October 9, 2021 Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 Fished bronte last night. The creek was high and no sign of fish and the pier/break wall both had no anglers on them. No signs of fish out there either. Bubba14 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smerchly Posted October 9, 2021 Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 Many follow the ships through the canal , seen them in a runoff ditch at G.M. , Glendale plant for years. With more rain than usual , I expect them to make the trip to Balls Falls by now via Jordan Harbour and the Port Dal. falls . Many more end up in local marinas to end their life cycle .

I guess the fish didn’t have to wait around for high waters this year. Creek levels were high since the start of the run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the fish didn’t have to wait around for high waters this year. Creek levels were high since the start of the run. Usually mid-October the run dies down in Niagara (can't speak for the Niagara River), but as someone who spends lots of time just watching them, the numbers of visible fish in the shallows starts to decline rapidly. Went to check out on spot yesterday and it would have been easy to count the fish compared to if you were there two or three weeks back.

deetch Posted October 11, 2021 Report Share Posted October 11, 2021 If I’m not mistaken Tyler the run at Bronte starts earlier than here and ends earlier. I haven’t fished Bronte in years but that is my recollection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fish are usually waiting for high water which they didn’t t have todo this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
905 Fisher Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 I'm mew to the forum, thanks for adding me. I've been successful fishing off the pier in Port Dalhousie using J-13, #4 Stingeye, Ko Wobnler glow spoon, and a Moonshine glow spoon. I'be been fishing early morning and late evening since mid September. Apparently lots of action and a few landed near the dam this a.m. fishingking, Lukefish99, NiagaraRiverFisher and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
