NIAGARA BAR / RIVER

going to try down there Tuesday. first time ever any help would be appreciated. looking for Lakers bows or browns. what would be the best to target this time of year? bows? like I said anything would be much appreciated . thanks in advance. cheers

all of the above


bring plastics, spoons and rattle baits....current is strong there, so weights a must

anything up to 2 oz on a 3 way rig

and unless you have a nys license , make sure you stay on Canada side.


last week, we got stopped and checked by US Coast Guard......all good , we were not carrying firearms which was their first question

That was there 1st question ??? Heck is going on down there ????

That's the us coast guard


not even interested in licences....smuggling and that kind of bs

was hoping you'd chime in longshank. thanks man! bottom bouncing 3 way swivel 1oz weight with roe or minnows around 14 feet of water was my guess for the bows and browns. jigging swimbaits and minnows on the deep ledges for the Lakers is my other plan of attack. hope I'm on the right page lol thanks!

you are on right track......don't forget the river drifts if winds are not good for the bar...as been my situation every time


1 oz, is ok , but you may need more ….this again depends on winds


gl ….may see you there...going to wait till that cold snap goes thru and pick a day with some light winds if that's possible

thanks man .. much appreciated
