The perch were there and moving around, but a bit picky. Brzuszkiewicz found that they preferred a very little twitch in the rod. Howie Seufert of Hamburg and his wife, Helene, were searching around the pack of 20 boats. The action slowed around noon, but Brzuszkiewicz got a call from Howie that he was nailing a good school just outside of the pack. At that point, Paul had 39 and Brzuszkiewicz was gaining on him with 31, but he joined Howie and Helene for better action. The new spot was loaded with fish, and they were hungry, but soon the wind picked up and Howie ran out of battery power and live minnows and left.
The Omen Black series from 13 Fishing put this company on the map with dozens of models touting extreme sensitivity and light weight, thanks to the use of 36-ton Toray graphite in their rod blanks. The shortest rod in this lineup stands out from the pack, as the ideal tool to sling a blade for bass in close-quarters and heavy cover. The length offers more accuracy for those of us who don’t stand over six feet tall.

Small inline spinners have been the ticket for him. Southtown Sporting Goods in Fayetteville reports fair crappie fishing with jigs or minnows over brush piles. Walleye are biting fair on deep-diving crank baits or nightcrawler rigs behind a bottom bouncer weight 25 to 30 feet deep along gravel and rock points and shorelines. In the lower Niagara River, Capt. Frank Campbell of Lewiston reports that there are decent numbers of salmon in Devil’s Hole. Most boats are averaging three to five salmon each trip out, with up to six being reported.
And with eight guides along its length, it may seem like it lacks some contact points with the blank, but the spacing is done well and keeps the rod balanced for accurate casts.

Water temperature was 57 degrees last Sunday but it’s going to continue to cool this week. This area within 30 miles of Buffalo recently was named in the Top 10 in the country for bass fishing by Bassmasters Magazine. It’s days like these that leave you with your head shaking. The best depths for Hippert were 37 to 42 feet of water. Best lures were 3- to 4-inch swimbaits on a 1/4- to 3/8-ounce swimbait head, 3/8-ounce Ned baits, 1/4- to 3/8-ounce blade baits, and drop shot rigs.
Mike Ziehm of Niagara Falls says that he is getting a nice mix of walleye, brown trout and plenty of salmon. He also caught an occasional lake trout while targeting other species. Some of the salmon are silver, so they are still fresh entering the system. Thanks to recent wind and rain, Ziehm reports that visibility is around 3 feet as of Monday. He has been catching everything on mixed color combinations of chartreuse and silver with reds using a No. 4 and No. 5 spinner with 12-pound test line. Tommy Holycross of Wheatfield says that salmon were being caught left and right off the NYPA fishing platform earlier this week.
