Went up for the weekend. Fish black river Friday, Did a few walleyes, all right below keeper size expect one. Worm work best. Got into a school of huge crappies, Pick away at them for a while. Fish chamount bay sat, lots of perch, but smaller than they been. Out by the green bouy, Marked lots of long hooks, Want to go back out sunday but weather suck, some good bait in 50 fow too. seen some boats out there trolling any luck?? wife with an eye!!

These have been in the basement collecting dust.. 1 okuma 30d line counter-$30 1-eagle claw 8' 6 starfire, This rod has the rollers on it. I put a twillie tip on the end of it.(see pic)-$25 Joel 716- 434-9339 this are located in lockport ny

Just got back for chaumount bay. Bass are still one here or there, crayfish are your best bet. 25-35 fow. Perch were good, 50 fow towards lake side. perch minnows ( hardware store got a good price on them) I heard walleyes out by galloo did not try myself. Spent a day on black river. Pick thur 15 small eyes all 1 inch shy of a keeper, end up with two keepers. Worm work best. Wish i could get back up there!! A couple nice size pike. Good luck

Going to take some vacation time, Plan on Fishing around three mile bay, going to go for perch to salmon anything that bites! Like to hit butterfield or red lake one day, indian river, maybe St lawerance depending on boat traffic. Anyone been up that way fishing?

A quick fight always helps, have the camera and needle nose ready to go. Don't touch the gills if its going back in the lake, or try to hold the gill plate. Tharshing around in the boat is not good either. One hand under the belly, one around the tail, off the side of the boat torpedoing head first about a 45 degree angle. This i would say works about 95 percent of the time. Great with lakers, kings even on warm days. This has worked well over the years, If the fish is bleeding from the gills its probably to late. (happens alot on wire or leadcore with weight) Gill it put it on ice and give it to some one at the cleaning station if it is legal size. Someone might apperciate it. If is hot out and the water is warm on top, and leadcore is doing good.you may want to replace a downrigger (stacker) at that level with a long lead 20 lb test is alot better for the fish. Every one year old king or steelie could be 30 lbs plus fish in four years! just my two cents.

Decide to take the jet skies out today. We went out of golden hill. I never seen the water so gross. The seaweed chucks that are float are disgusting. (hope there seaweed) or to many rv sites up stream... i find this hard to believe its from the water being to low. Seen jet boats going out that were just losing steering from clogging up. Any body else see this? Any other little bays with this same problem? talk to one couple who said they were there last week and both got rashes from it??

Well want to head up to black river bay, with the weather coming on sat, we decide to try lake erie instead of making the drive, Went out on 6-18-10. Launch about 6 pm trolled from departure bouy to senca, mark some fish but no hits a couple of bass, One was 6 7 (talk about a day early) At dark switch up to some body baits got three in 15 fow. Talk to some guys who got them in the morning from 27-55 fow. Seem to be there, just everywhere.

Tried friday night out of small boat harbor, pick up two, one in front of hamburg and other by windmills. water was 55.6 degrees. Talk to some people, some did the same, some did better, and some got none. Hopefully only gets better- stickbaits 10 fow, sorry for the bad pic going to head up to Chaumont bay -Black river this weekend. Are the fish still in the bays? ,,,,,,Yes i know there a tourament this weekend so no reports on how many beads so landshark don't yell at me.

Thanks for the info..guess i'll bring the boat..wish i could get more time up there!!

If everything goes right this week , next weekend 5-16-10 going to head up to chaumont bay, black river bay, Going to try some turkey hunting was wonding if i should bring the boat ,anyone been out, walleyes already in or just starting to bite? Any info would help Thanks

Out of fort Niagara, the north launch is very shallow axle hit a few stones (boulders) We pulled out of south launch, was a little better. Someone repair the one dock there, some new wood and some plastic bumpers, Hope they do the rest of them. The water is very low. Hope they bring it up before the derby. Some big boats might have a hard time.

Stickbaits still being the best. Lost a couple at the back of the boat. Heading up the chamount bay/ blackriver bay next weekend. Anyone been fishing up there. any tips would be appericate. Looking at bass/walleye fishing. Joel

landshark nice fish, Spent 4 days fishing chamount bay, good pike action No walleyes. Had two fish we drag on the downriggers. ended up with losing them both. not sure what they were? was wondering if you were fishing river or lake? Any info i would appericate it. Trolled mostly at 1.8 with stickbaits. Spend some time up there and the walleyes are hit or miss for me, more of a miss!! thanks Joel

Mark I was in a 21 foot boat. I heard it was a 400' copper line that you ran into I think it came to me! With a little commucation on the radio we could of got by. my boat has alot on it but no telepot device. i didnt come from no where. I have Fished out of bigger boats and know its had to get them around. Fish walleyes up by henderson some times ,we put a spread out and just stay straight. it was more of getting cut off , then the guy yelling at me. When two of my downriggers were tangle and came close to the prop being in the mess with the cables. been fishing a while, have a USCG Capt. lic. I spend a lot of time on the water i just believe when u got room fish how u like ........but on a busy day at the bar were 100ft can be 100fow or 200 fow you got to fish with respect to everyone else who got up at 4am and paid a lanch fee, loc derby, fishing lic, boat reg, a box of hostess, gas ....no matter what size boat your in.... tell your buddy i got his white flasher (tried it , no fish) he's more then welcome to have it back. Joel
