lower niagara today
hooked up with Crash and FFF for a day on the river to see how the browns and bows were doing. they're doing just as good now as they were before we got there . got to the launch and the river was mud with about 1' visibilty but decided to try our luck anyways. the wind had the backdrift messed up a bit and didnt hook a thing so we headed over to the long drift. i had 2 hooked on but didnt get a chance to see what they were but more than likely they were smallies. first one on the board was FFF with this scrappy little guy
then up next was Crash with another nice niagara smallie
yup, i was surrounded by the camo-twins.
coming close to the end of the day and Crash offers us a few snacks and starts rhyming off the ingredients of his granola bars, "contains granola, glucose/fructose, corn syrup, BANANA bi-product..... you could have heard a pin drop. FFF and i look at each other, one of those stares where each of us are saying, "are you gonna through him in first or should i" . chalk this day up to the cures of the BANANA, when will people learn .hard day on the water but with 2 great guests the time flew by and was time to call it a day. great having you guys aboard.

Mrs. Crash here...I would just like to say, please, please, don't be upset with me about the BANANA incident...Jo OD said no Bananas, so I didn't think it also meant Banana byproducts like granola bars...I just didn't want you men to go hungry As for the Insurance, that thought may have crossed my mind

Good Effort
I too ended up fishing a trib this weekend and it was also slow.
Unlike the Lake Erie tribs, the Huron tribs are Gin clear. Even with this wicked wind.
The 80 year old guy next to me had some good action. I learned a fair bit from him and I'll be sure to share the info as winter approaches and the board slows down.

Just a reminder to those who bring bananas on my boat- make sure you've got the insurance first; you'll need it !!!.
Nice try on the Niagara though, fellas. I walked the gorge Sunday and the water was perfect. Saw a few nasty salmon swimming around and some guys with a couple of bows at the whirlpool.

hopefully this will post!!
Great day out guys, I enjoyed the weather! One scary thing though at one point on the back drift we got a little too far out, hit a whirlpool 2' dia maybe. threw the boat into a spinout and I nearly went over the stern, that current is incredibly powerful!!
Crash I know the banana was artificial or simulated, what ever but then so is viagara, you don't take that fishing do you
