  1. you'll be ok with a 115 , it may be a little intimidating going up there your first time , Pretty much you'll be bass fishing in the lower this time of year , and in august your too early for the salmon and trout , there are some walleye that are in the river this time of year , there are resident trout in the river all the time but its nothing like november to june

  2. had my stradic 3000Fi now for almost 2 years now and i'm happy with it , i use it in some freezing winter days in the boat for Rainbows and it has never seized up on me , the drag is nice and smooth , the only thing that has ever happened to it was the little clicker on the inside of the spool broke and it wouldnt click anymore so i brought it to the store and they gave me a new spool from the counter , i got the 3000 cause of the higher line cap but its the same size reel body as the 2500

    All in all im glad i bought it, its been a good reel

  3. i fish that river all the time in my 14' with a 15 hp , but Like said dont head up river unless you have some HP you can fish the drift right infront of the boat launch right to the point where the river turns its a back drift where the current goes back up river great spot i got a 5lber there , the middle of the river at that point has some fast water and whirlpools that can open up out of no where depth in the middle is around 150ft or better , so stick to the closer to shore you'll see when you get there what i mean, its pretty cool but respect it , it can send you spinning like in a toilet bowl , now down river just about every point will hold fish i use the electric to slow the drift and bonce bait off bottom , there are a few calm corners you can fish as well and it does hold some decent size small mouth for sure and muskie

    Also parking and launching shouldnt be a problem this time of year it seems funny but its busier in the winter time , I park at the bottom of the hill where it says no parking due to there has been some break Ins when you park in the top lot , in my eyes i'd rather pay the ticket, which i have never seen anyone get for parking down there but dont take my word on that its just a heads up

    Casino, SHeraton fallsveiw and the oak Inns have the best view

    shoot me a PM i live 2 min from the falls if your looking for some senic things to do or places to go

    if you have Family with you go to Great wolf lodge over looks the Niagara gorge and minutes from a great hike

  5. yeah that is a nice fish ...

     

    but the way i got it.

     

    it was a fool hook.

     

    hunting for musky.

     

    only goog thing that came out of it are the lampreys i got off of em. 5-6 of them...

     

    sucking the living life out of the poor thing.

     

    have a great life SIR yellow sturgeon! :thumbsup_anim:

    lol i was wondering how you get a sturgeon trolling for muskie now it makes sense

    Cool fish either way , There are some big ones around

  6. I use my electric and cut right through the rib cage on most fish than after i cut the slabs off i run the electric under the rib cage and than also use it to get the skin off , wouldnt use anything else in the kitchen perch take seconds to clean

    a regular knife is great when sharp, but like said for one or 2 fish where there is no power unless of course you get the battery operated electric one

     

    So electric is my vote

  7. Well, based on my experience with a Quantum PTi, I'd have to say Shimano!

    My Quantum is very perdy, shiny and looks fantastic with the sun reflecting off of it, but that anti-reverse is crap. It decides from time to time to simply disengage ON IT"S OWN! Also, the bail sometimes decides to close, ON IT"S OWN mid cast.

    If it wasn't so dang perdy, it would be sitting on the bottom of the lake.

    HH

    i've had the same problem with mine , a 20 series PTi tour

    i took it apart and cleaned the inside seems fine now

    I was told by the quantum reps to send it to quantum and they will repair or replace thats why you pay the extra money for them apprently very good warranty , never had to use it though

     

     

    I have both quantum PTi and Stradics , me i chose Stradic

  8. Love fishing with poppers !!!! they work all day as long as its calm out

    Crappie smash em, small and large mouth , Pike one of my favourite ways to fish when just out playing around in the boat or off a dock early morning or before dark

    my new favourite ones are the XPS poppers from Bass pro they go down to a nice panfish size and bigger
