Well done! I almost got spooled on a king on Wednesday on a eight color w/flasher/fly before it shook the hook. What a time to have boat issue while there are four year olds around.
Thanks gents. I think the original (1988) fuel pump went. We were picking up to head in, got up on plane and it pooped. Changing fuel filter didn’t help.
Stupid easy fishing continues off Niagara county. Fished from 10:30-4 and took over 40 fish. Fat lakers were a nuisance even high in water column. Lots of kings The age structure has changed this week from mostly three year olds all this spring to mostly two year olds as a percentage. The bad news is after 14 years with my current rig, boater’s bad luck gremlins caught up with me. I got a towed. Special thanks to the town of Newfane fire dept for the assistance. I was sad to see the cormorants tearing up the released king fingerlings. It looks like they got crushed.
A Skeeter bass boat? All launches are open in most towns. Right now Niagara County has the most Salmon if that is what you are targeting. Mostly spoons this time of year. If you cannot get out on Lake Ontario, depending on the wind direction, you may be able to get out on nearby lake Erie. There is a break wall protecting Buffalo. There are Walleyes around and a trophy bass season that allows catch and release plus a creel limit of one trophy-over 21" bass.
