Shore spot near Welland

[Master of Bait]

Hey folks,

 

I'm shore-bound in Welland and have a few hours to kill tomorrow. Any suggestions?

 

I'd like to go after channel cats in the Welland river if I can but I'm not sure of any decent locations.

 

Alternatively, I'd try the Niagara for Steelhead but I think it would be jammed on weekends.

 

Also, it poured rain today so water clarity could be affected tomorrow?

 

Anyways, appreciate any areas you good folk might suggest.

 

Cheers,

Try behind the Wellandport community center

Try E.C. Brown park, behind the airport. A decent shore spot for cats..

Most of the spots I know for channel cats around welland will probably be pretty muddy with all the rain we've had. Try the rec canal in Dain city you can get perch,crappies and pike there. Good luck.

Hey guys,

 

Thanks a lot for the tips! I hit the Welland river near highway 24 but got skunked (watched a guy nail a 9 lber on Boyle though, nice!).

 

On my way out to Wellandport I realized how close I was to Dunnville so checked that out too. Tried the dam then further south but nothin doin.

 

It was a tough day, cold and windy - but it was my first fish of '09 - so worth every minute.

 

Thanks again for the help. Tight lines.
