Boy, Lew and I had a great boat ride on Saturday
I arrived at the niagara parks marina at 7.05, bloody fog... slowed me down, to find Rizzo, Alvin, Uncle buck, Lew and fang already there. Sun was just breaking through the trees and not a breeze. Temps were 2 degrees but that did not last long. We all launched and headed out for some muskie fishing. Water temps were 41degF and visibilty was up 25 feet in some places. Yes 25 feet, crazy. By 9.00Am Lew and I were removing layers of clothes to keep up with the rising temperatures. It topped out somewhere between 12 and 14 deg. We managed to put 44 miles on the boat and not a sniff. The sunny skies, clear water and lack of any real wind did not help the situation. We tried a few areas around the mouth of the river but there was no fish out there either.
Here is fang and Uncle buck working the river hard.
