Squid Posted February 24, 2008 Report Posted February 24, 2008 (edited) Well after weeks of pining and whining, I finally got out on the water for a bit of . The Niagara river was chock full of small ice flows, pretty decent clarity with a water temperature of 31 degrees F. Quite a few boats and shore fishermen too. I spent the day with my brother Nick and we managed to land 2 bows. I will download the pictures shortly. Edited February 24, 2008 by Squid

douG Posted February 24, 2008 Report Posted February 24, 2008 (edited) Attaboy, Pete. Kudos to you and Bro'. That is crazy water to fish for sure. Edited February 24, 2008 by douG
spoonmaster Posted February 24, 2008 Report Posted February 24, 2008 Great fish, Nice to get out this time of year
motv8tr Posted February 24, 2008 Report Posted February 24, 2008 Now that's hard core!!!! Good stuff Pete!!!! Maureen
Greencoachdog Posted February 24, 2008 Report Posted February 24, 2008 Great report and pics Pete!!! 31 degree water! that's gotta be some cold, nasty, and dangerous stuff! It just amazes me how those cold water species of fish can live, feed, multiply, and thrive in an enviornment that would kill a human being in a matter of minutes.
lew Posted February 24, 2008 Report Posted February 24, 2008 Awesome stuff Pete, I was hoping the weather & water conditions would stay good for you & your brother this weekend. Couple nice fish too.
ehg Posted February 24, 2008 Report Posted February 24, 2008 Some nice fish there. Good to see some softwater fishing, its been a long winter so far. Thanks for sharing! ehg
bucktail Posted February 25, 2008 Report Posted February 25, 2008 Nice going Pete. Is it just me or is it the lighting. That one fish looks like a buck brown!
Squid Posted February 25, 2008 Author Report Posted February 25, 2008 No I think that you are right Darren, you know them better than I do. The fish seem to pull hard but overall the fish is slow due to the cold water. It was nice to get slimed again.
bucktail Posted February 25, 2008 Report Posted February 25, 2008 Your turning into Mr Brown!!! Sadly I am still Mr Pink!
Joey Posted February 25, 2008 Report Posted February 25, 2008 Right on Pete, I am so jealous. Ah, we'll get down there soon enough. Nice fish bud, way to go Joey
Squid Posted February 25, 2008 Author Report Posted February 25, 2008 It is alwasy a good day when you can launch the boat and catch some rays, fish are just the bonus part of the trip.
Whopper Posted February 25, 2008 Report Posted February 25, 2008 Wow what in the heck is going on, Pete posting a fishing report with a pic and reefhawg and graftongal making an appearance on the ice, all we need now is for Canada Dave to rear his words of wisdom Congrats Pete! Thanks for sharing
TJQ Posted February 25, 2008 Report Posted February 25, 2008 Man what I would do to get out in a boat....
mattyk Posted February 25, 2008 Report Posted February 25, 2008 some nice looking fish, must hav felt great to get out on some open water. Thanks for sharing.
Alumacraft Posted February 25, 2008 Report Posted February 25, 2008 Squid, it was a beautiful day out there I was out in the Alumacraft. I wish the guy in the little tinner would have been able to get in what ever he had on. He must have fought that thing for 45 min to an hour. I'm thinking it must have been a sturgeon,but I would have liked too seen him land it.I landed 3 for the day lost a couple you know on for a couple of seconds and gone.
kickingfrog Posted February 25, 2008 Report Posted February 25, 2008 Nice fish! Some of us can walk on water however.
