Hello

[hawgcooker]

Two friends and I will be fishing out of Fort Niagara or Wilson this weekend. I have been watching this site and checking the archives for a couple weeks now - getting reel excited looking at all the pics.

1) Can I get advise of whether we should launch out of Wilson or the Fort launch? why is one better?

2) A suggested tackle shop or two in each area?

Thanks for keeping up this excellent site.

Thanks for all the responses..........I expected more from this site and the users/administrators.

In an effort to help others that may read this thread.

Closest good takle shop is in Olcott. Others have closed (A-1 and Wilson.)

Niagara Outdoors has limited quantity of the basics and a very helpful owner.

Wilson launch is the quickest way to the fish - at least this weekend.

Fort Niagara is a decent launch for a smaller boat. Big boats can put in but not much room to get around and hilly access roads to the launches.

I wish everyone luck that gets out in the lake and uses this site.

Weather was tough on us - we manged to catch fish everytime out - one 19 lber.

Well hawgcooker the only thing I can say is this part of the site is an introductory thread and a lot of guys don't check it to answer questions. They should be posted in the pertinent sub-forums to get a quicker response. Sorry your first post wasn't up to your expectation, but we'll try harder next time. Thanks for the info & glad you got into some fish. It only gets better.
