Nice fatty Largemouth @ Hamilton Harbour in the fall.

Tough afternoon on the River.

Hit the Upper Niagara River on friday afternoon.

It was super windy so it made it the only place to get out unless you wanted to be in white caps elsewhere.
Tried several marked spots of the gps with no luck on the drop shot, spinnerbaits, crankbaits or jerk baits.
Quinten caught a 12" smallmouth on a LiveTarget perch crankbait but not what we'd hoped for 2 hours in.
Wind picked up even more and we were going to bail then we saw a spot where the shore line out to about 75 feet was protected by a rise and a line of trees so we decided to give it a couple of drifts before packing it in.
Good idea!
First drift I popped my biggest smallmouth this season (well that got in the boat anyway) on the Xzone mini slammer #309.


A couple of more drifts produced 2 more and a 3rd spit the hook with a big time aerial show.


Quinten couldn't get them to hit his drop shot even though we were fishing 4 feet apart on either side of the boat.

Tried the deep diving SKL shad crankbaits with a ton of followers and dropped the slammer on top of them but they all of a sudden had lock jaw.

All in all a decent afternoon with my buddy out fishing on a sunny friday afternoon.

Cheers,
Scotty
