Great fish Prof! We've had some good luck out on niagara shoal this year and I've been in front of your place too. However, with the new Yamaha on the Grady you probably can't hear me[emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
Hello fellow anglers, Just wondering if anyone has some insight into fishing eel bay for perch? I would like to try this fall since our summer was a bust. Do the flats hold more schools than the channel by picton? Are minnows the bait of choice? Thanks for the advisement, Ray Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
18-35 ft. From Clayton to Alex bay. Look for humps on your map. PS...get a map..1 oz sinker and a crayfish works well, drifting off drop offs, worm on a 1/2 oz buck tail, drop shot with pink or watermelon wacky worm. Find the blue/green water....rocky bottom...drop shot there. Good luck!
Anywhere from Clayton to chippawa bay. I've been finding them mostly on the sides of humps that drop to 30-60 ft. Hugging the bottom with my bb and floating worm harness. 8-10 pm seems to work for me!
Hi fellas,
I have a camp on swan bay, but never ice fished there..mostly Oneida. I would like to target perch up there..any advise for areas?
Thanks!
Ray
FYI...we had the same season. Great walleye season with a horrible perch and smallmouth. My normal ice out spots for perch didn't produce, and I really had to work to get a few smallies. Soft shell crabs were the best for the bass along with watermelon senkos. Nothing worked for perch.

Niagara shoal producing! Bottom bouncer with floating worm harness. Green and orange seem to produce for me. 45-65 ft.. Great summer for walleye action. Bass not so good.

Hello, new to the forum and I'm looking forward to posts and pictures. We fish the St. Lawrence, our camp is located in swan bay. I fish mostly for smallies but would like to target more walleyes this year. I own a 1996 gradywhite 192 tournament, so if your fishing the narrows say hi.
Thanks!
