7/27 - Niagara mid-day smack down

[Gill-T]

Hit the water today at the bight early time of noon. For some reason my spidey senses said go brown fishing young man….I never go brown fishing in the summer. I don’t know why I decided to Brown fish but glad we did. If you have never seen a pre-spawn staging brown blitz, you are missing out on one of the wonders of nature. We set down in 42’ and it was game on. Rods going in, rods going off. Non-stop action for three hours. Browns were stacked from top to bottom. Fish were rolling and boiling on the surface. 76 degree water.   And then it ended. Hooks still there but the blitz just ended. We slid off the drop and spent the next two hours on two and three year old kings. Great day. Spoon bite. Michigan Stinger stingray UV glow alewife and dreamweaver mag spoons. Rigger and slide diver bite.

Where do you guys launch from? Never fished that area and looking to give it a try, trying to figure out where to launch. Thanks in advance. Dan

Niagara bar access points are Fort Niagara or Wilson. Youngstown launch is free but can be a S-show.
