Tried launching out of Sturgeon Sat. No go. Sand bar was huge. Made a call to Miller and launched out of the state launch out of the Catt. Tried about a dozen spots with zero luck.
Niagara River. Blue Water marina off Grand island at the end of Ferry Rd. We were in about 11 fow in the boat but it would have been castable off the docks. It can be productive at times late in the year as long as theres bait. Seen a guy in a black lund land a nice musky on a fly too thurs. That looked like a riot. Our camp is in Humphrey off Pumpkin hollow. We lost our spot too but found some state land down the street off Golden Hill that looks promising. Not much luck opening weekend, but i was luckey enough to hit a spike with the bow last week. Good luck to you too and Happy holidays
We got 45 keepers on thurs afternoon in the river by Blue water . Mostly between 9-10'' with a couple of 11's and a fat 13 incher. I went back with my father fri am and we brought home 28 more before leaving for hunting camp.
8 on sunday. 4 came off blue chattersticks 10 color lead. 2 black and pink harness 200 outside dipsy. 2 on orange/copper harness 200 outside dipsy 73-78 fow way west of Sturgeon
We stopped at 52 ft to check for marks a little west between Sturgeon and Evangola right at day break. We wanted to start a little deeper so I went to 67-68 ft and marked them all the way to 72 fow. We had ultra lites with us along with salted minnows and was going to switch to perch after a few walleye but the lake was way too rough. I didn't mark any on wed. By sat the screen was lit up.
Thanks Larry and Marty. I have to also thank yellowpike1. John thanks for putting me on those numbers a couple of weeks ago from the l.o.u. page. I went back to those numbers NW of Sturgeon with Doc on sat am before the winds shifted. We boated 6 eaters. 4 came on outside dipsys 188 back orange/copper harness. 1 on 158 inside dipsy black/purple harness and 1 on the old razzle dazzle. The better marks came in the 67-68 fow. Marked tons of perch as shalow as 52 ft. My buddy's boat got 4 all on orange/copper before we got blown off at 10:30.
Went out solo out of Sturgeon Wednesday. NW in 70 fow. Broke my rigger right off the bat and almost left. I'm luckey I didn't because the fishing was on fire! First fish came at 8:05am and by 9:04am had my limit. 4 fish came on black and purple harness with dipsy on #1 setting 158 out. 1 on green/copper harness 158 out on #1 dipsy. The old razzle dazzle got also one on 10 color lead with a purple Renosky tipped with a worm. Big fish weighed 9.39 lbs on the rapala scale (personal best).
