My first spring brown trip

[justtracytrolling]

My winter fishing fix on the lower Niagra with Captain Vince Pierleoni ended up my first spring brown trip.  Captain Vince asked if I was interested in trying what he felt was excellent february opportunity for browns out of Olcott and I was all in.  As it turned out he was spot on!  He had us on fish immediately and all morning.  In the end Matt and I had a spectacular day going 15/16 with a few real nice fish.  I can't say enough how easy and enjoyable Captain Vince made our trip.

You sure picked the right guy to go with Justin.

Thanks Justin. It never gets old sharing the many different phases of the Lake Ontario fishery with experienced fishermen and newbies alike. Glad you got to jump at the chance. It was a pleasure to have you guys onboard.

It was all about size of baits yesterday. Medium sized baits drew bites by DW,  Live Target, Rapala, and Bay rat. It was half and half between spoons on the Cannon riggers and plugs on the boards. Colors were flourescent greens/chart, orange, gold, and goby pattern.

I don't do all that much strictly pleasure fishing anymore as most of my trips are with customers and I love it!  That being said it's so nice to just relax, watch lines, and enjoy being afield knowing someone else has everything under control and I don't have to concern myself with the details.
