Johnson is still making beetle spins. BPS has a big selection of them

I saw one in chippawa creek a couple years back. They had it way up and it stayed there for a long time. It was being pulled by a boat. Cool to watch for sure!

I love my Costa's they have the 580 glass lenses, I bought em before I went to Florida fishing last year worked great in the open water as well as in the mangroves. They are the blue lense

Yesterday I found 6 that i took and there was 5-6 more baseball sized ones I'm gonna get in a couple days

I always bring the BBQ up to temp, hit it with the stainless brush, then wipe the grates with a doubled up paper towel. Scorch the paper towel but have never found a bristle in anything I've cooked. Not sure if it's norm/over kill but it works for me

There is a NACL 51 for sale in the classifieds right now. I've got a 60 for ski and a 50 I use for spoons for salmon. Great reels!!

Called in 3 hens a jake and a tom this morning, got busted by a hen and missed the tom... Was rather frustrating!! Alarm is set for 430 again, if its not raining I'll be out there to give'r another go, if its raining, sleep in then go catch some trout.

I saw a big Sturgeon swimming into the current and crayfish that seemed like he walked out from under the camera! Also just saw something that looked like a whitefish, couldn't tell they flew through the screen but were big.

I don't know about any spots up that way but Minor's fishmarket in Port C. had bags of smelts for a $1 each. Looked like a couple pounds per bag too, lotta smaller looking ones but hey if ya can't fish for em its always an option.

Its in the flyer for the Niagara area too!

I've never used more than 1 minnow, my hot lure this year has been the jigging rap. I run stinger hooks on all my lures, can't tell you how many times I've had them just grab the tail, you go to set and just feel it tear. I don't fish electronic so I don't know when they're there, just going by feel. I'm sure if ya had a flasher you could play with them a bit more, the one guy I fish with has one and actually lets em go back down a few feet before setting the hook!! I fish 2 rods using 2 different lures, no real pattern with my jigging, just constantly moving to try to attract em, I've had em bump one lure then smash the other! Perch, white, green and gold are all very good choices!
