Fishing Next Week -- Niagara...

[Familyfisherman]

I'm taking a client fishing next week and thought about trying the Niagara River for bass. I had planned to launch out of Queenston. A friend had suggested going upriver to the power station on the right and fish the shoreline just north of the station...the advice was to try 3-way rigs, drop shots and tubes...just wondering if we're on the right track here, or if anyone had any suggestions to improve our results.

 

I'm from Barrie, client is in Stoney Creek. Is it worth the drive down to Queenston?

 

Appreciate your help.

Thanks in advance.

If your going up river for your first time I think you better pass on it untill someone that knows the area can take you up, its very dangerous and can be tricky. Theres no need to go up river there are tons of spots all the way down on the canadian side right out to the bar that have great quality bass. This time of the year the water is super clear and bright colours will work great, good luck and be careful out there.

I will take that advice paze and appreciate it.

 

Are we on the right track lure-wise with 3-ways, drop shots and tubes?

Honestly I'm not much of a bass fisherman but my client "thinks" he is

 

I have no experience on the river so we'll go downriver as suggested.

3 way rigs, tubes and the drop shot set up are all good methods of catching bass on the lower river. And yes the Dam is NOT SAFE!!!! boaters have died in this area of the river before! please be careful and have fun good luck!

Anywhere there's an obvious bend or slack in the current.. fish the edge. Anything you use will eventually catch a smallie.
