I'm brand new to the forum. I introduced myself in the other thread. Short version, I'm from Western Pennsylvania and fish Lake Erie, Niagara River, and Lake Ontario as much as I can (which isn't enough!)
All this talk of the fishing heating up is making me want to make the trip up to Lady O. My family and I are free this upcoming weekend. We recently bought a new boat and completely outfitted her for trolling last year. This is our first time trolling the Niagara Bar region in the spring. I mainly just have some broad questions about trolling this area. Is next weekend still a little too early for trolling the bar? We would love to get into some kings but honestly, we'd be more than happy with catching anything.
We have all the standard gear: 2 riggers, 4 big dipsy rods, a couple inline planers, wire diver down the shoot and an assortment of spoons and flasher/flies. I recently picked up some 6" red spin doctors as I heard these can be killer for coho.
Thank you for any and all help. If we get out this weekend I will be sure to let everyone know how we did.
