Catch & Release.................

[Lawdwaz]

NOT.......................

 

These are from Saturday morning on the Niagara River.  I boated 7, sent one back to grow up and released one at the end after I had these 5 in the live well.  I weighed the entire lot when I got home and they were 14lbs 9oz, almost a 3lb average.

 

Soft shell crabs and bass chubs from Big Catch Bait shop on Niagara St.  I'll NEVER, EVER get my bait from Gander Mountain again.  Twice this year I bought from them and their stuff is terrible.  Big Catch is the REAL deal.

 

The cutting board is 16x20.  (the guy in the picture is XXL+)

Nice ones. 3lbs. is a solid average.

 

I caught 5 smallies yesterday on Kensico Reservoir, biggest was 17". Also got a few lakers, this one was 23"

Fire up that Ford and get yourself up here and you too could be fishing the river this year.  A little guy like you and this boat will get up on plane in no time. 

 

I'll buy the bait, fuel and make the sangwiches, you just show up.

 

No guff!!

Ehh.....just enough going on to be stuck here.

Trust me, I'd rather even be in Buffalo at the moment to tie up a few projects there and have some fun fishing.

In the cooler weather, I keep them to eat. Not when water temps are close to 80degrees because then hr Lakers die and get nasty on the stringer all morning. I don't bring a cooler, because its already a pain carrying oars, bait, equipment, etc to/from boat through the woods.

I only have 1 fish mounted, a salmon from many years ago when I was kid from Lake Ontario, 36"
