Elijah890 Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 Hey folks, I’m new to the area and looking to find some fishing spots for my son and I. I have a 14 foot boat with a 9.9HP so I think Lake Erie is out for me. Anyone have some experience here fishing that could point me towards some decent spots? thanks!!

kevin Posted July 15, 2022 Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 There are plenty of areas for you and your son to enjoy with that boat set up. The upper and lower Niagara river are both good options. You don't have to count out Lakes Erie or Ontario simply due to having a smaller boat. If you watch the weather and are cautious, you can enjoy days on the big lake as well. Inner bays and near shore areas on Lake Erie will get you into some bass and other species. Towards evening you'll even hit some walleye. The Niagara river has countless opportunities drifting near shore and casting along weed beds. On Lake O, gentle south wind days provide calm waters on the south shore. You can flatline for some trout all along there. Get out and enjoy. I put more hours on my 14ft aluminum boat in a year around here than I put on my 25fter.

genec Posted July 15, 2022 Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 If you watch your weather reports you can easily fish L Erie on calm mornings. Free launch on Point Abino Rd just as you come to the bay and the bay is good for smallmouth bass. Also a free launch at Pt Maitland on the east side so you could either fish the lake there or the lower Grand River. Tyler0420 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmaz4 Posted July 16, 2022 Report Share Posted July 16, 2022 Grand river dunville access to erie if calm if not fish the river. Troll n smash bottom with crank baits. Mixed bag of fish is highly likely. Last night sheephead, catfish n 5 walleye. smerchly and Davidp16 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostLure Posted July 16, 2022 Report Share Posted July 16, 2022 Welcome to the area 😊 Don't restrict yourself to just the boat, there’s lots of good bank/shore fishing around these parts. The Twelve system is full of entertainment from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smerchly Posted July 16, 2022 Report Share Posted July 16, 2022 Add the Welland River and Rec canal to that ... LostLure 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisb Posted July 16, 2022 Report Share Posted July 16, 2022 Can't put the motor boat in the rec. But shore fishing is good. Tony and smerchly 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morwood80 Posted July 18, 2022 Report Share Posted July 18, 2022 Welland River has a bunch of everything and has several launches along the way. Be prepared to hook anything lol. Was bottom bouncing for eyes and landed a muskie. Was fun fight on light gear and net was definitely not big enough Tony and Tyler0420 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
