Casting for Fall Salmon from the Niagara River Shoreline

[@shawn4900]

Nice set of Salmon there Ivo! I would have like to see Rick get on one too .

[@RealisticFishing]

Nice salmon! 👍

[@AckermanJiuJitsu]

Cannot wait to use some of these spinners here in Michigan!

[@KMLifeadventure]

I had one run in the river and spool me! The best fish I never caught! Lol!

[@juri8723]

you are the fishing king

[@snakemonkey555]

Hey Ivo, thanks for the great video and your enthusiasm is bar none...like a kid in a candy store! Ever consider a catch and smoke salmon video? Tight lines!

[@OutandaboutoutdoorswithRon]

Nice, but you got to let your buddy get one, but at least you and he had a great time out there. Thank you for sharing 😉👍👌👍

[@yakingpatton1347]

Gotta come to Pulaski NY

[@scotthowse1962]

I was down there last week Ivo and the salmon bite was on that's for sure! Ended up landing 2 both between 12-15lbs. Keep the videos coming, and happy fishing

[@screative_3902]

Again, great video! Shame Rick didnt get to catch one though

[@peterw7547]

Fantastic Ivo!What a big ones!!Nice video!!

[@keiranrooker7981]

Down here yesterday lol and my buddy got spooled almost lmao

[@Onedirection556]

It would have been nice if you had sat back after your first fish and let Rick have a shot at hooking up to one of those bruisers.

[@camanderson9954]

every video you pull in MASSIVE trout or salmon. Have a friend who says you cant catch big ones from shore i send him these!

[@104silvae]

Great video Ivo. Stingeye looks really good 👍

[@milekunceski8818]

Love it bro keep em coming

[@bubbspelch1134]

Met you the other day Ivo. Pleasure to chat with you and keep up the great videos. Happy fishing.

[@thundermistlures]

...it was a pleasure meeting you Bubbs and thanks again for stopping by to say hello :) Good fishing

[@pasarea999]

I wish more people would treat the salmon like you

[@jphaworth15]

Thanks Ivo for another video

[@donnadixon8991]

thanks ivo....good quality video............

[@deanazarnush884]

holy moly, your reel must be on fire with all that friction

[@eog5217]

Nice Fish👍

[@Larry77777]

Hey Ivo: Talk about a great sport ... (I am talking about Rick not just the salmon fishing) :-)

[@keiranrooker7981]

Using the sting eye down here is hard the current is so fast it pulls your stingeye along and you feel like you have a fish lol

[@arefomar5242]

Hey I just wanted to ask I love your videos and where did u get the gik from can u the me the place.

[@petemoss9693]

Hello IVO . . . . OH My GOD . . . not one BUT three nice huge beautiful Salmon's - poor Rich did he ever get to catch a fish ?

[@thundermistlures]

...Rick keeps hooking into them but has yet to physically land one...we will try again next year :)

[@ronsuda7555]

When do the lake trout come in the river?

[@thundermistlures]

...December/Winter and then again in May/June :)

[@italiantroutaholic8926]

any idea on a good salmon spin rod /I like what you have and what reel would go good with that????

[@thundermistlures]

suggest a medium action rod, I like 71/2 feet but many people use longer....as for reels, just be sure the reel has a good drag system kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6uYfaqAiJh6ZtE

[@maureenw2151]

Should you tie the stingnose on direct

[@thundermistlures]

You can tie direct if you want - I typically use a small snap so I can cahnge up easily and it allows more freedom of wobble - here is a short video that explains :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2WQmYqHbd6Cj80

[@briobrio6047]

30 pound braid what leader line tho 25 pound flouro ?

[@thundermistlures]

25 lb fluoro is perfectly fine with a 30 lb braid - I do that often :)

[@ericsoutdoors8845]

Use j 13s it's a really good lure

[@johnkloostra7105]

How did you get down to where you are fishing on the Niagara River for salmon

[@thundermistlures]

this particular spot has just recently been posted about a year ago, so it's not really assessible anymore :( that is why I was not down there this year - hopefully someday, they will lift the restriction :)

[@agusagus-lj3ij]

Uwes to ndang ditarik,ojok nggacor ae.....

[@markporebsky4768]

What kind rod you use..? How long and what power?

[@thundermistlures]

I was using my old Quantum Tour Edition Rod, medium action :)

[@Fishing_Daddy_84]

Mark Porebsky medium power moderate tip, get something long to help muscle in the fish and increase cast distance. Something like 9’6” or more

[@persiusflores3774]

Whats the difference of what can you keep and cant? Thanks ivo!

[@thundermistlures]

you can keep any size you want, but the bigger ones are more contaminated - check out the Ontario guide to eating sport fish - its a free publication you can find on line and it will tell you what is safe to eat :)

[@fishingwithteven7372]

The first salmon you caught was me a week or two ago I was fighting the 19 pounder

[@wompwomp4141]

Nice work Ivo thanks for the tips , any steelhead coming in ? Would love to see a video on that soon 😎

[@thundermistlures]

The salmon slow down late Oct and the steelies move in :)

[@Treeline88]

#4 chartreuse comes with yellow dots on your site . Are you using #3 or #4 the 3/4 oz in this vid. Throwing a 3/4 oz spinner is the best way for distance and water coverage. Other big spinners for salmon stall in air. Interwsted in purchasing.

[@thundermistlures]

...I was using the size #4 Stingeye Spiner...perfect size for salmon :) Good luck on the water

[@xxgg]

How deep are you letting it sink before retrieval ? Long time ago, someone told me at Niagara River/Whirlpool, cast a spoon and do your best to keep it near bottom just contacting rocks. Lost too many spoons to do that method again. haha

[@thundermistlures]

I am letting it sink close to the bottom, but keeping it off the rocks :)

[@Beamer866]

What side and where ?

[@thundermistlures]

Although this was on the Canadain Side, Lower Niagara, the fishing is equally as good on the USA side :)

[@Beamer866]

Oh awesome funny you replied today I have a trip plan for Saturday! It will be on the Canadian side also! Out of a boat! Any suggestions on where to start! Thanks again love your show!

[@diddelmugge1108]

Hello. What a Reel and Rod setup are you fishing? Good action and reel performance. Greetings from Northern Germany

[@thundermistlures]

Bass Pro Shops reel on a Quantum Tour Edition rod - medium action :) Great to hear from you in Northern Germany Diddel and all the best to you in 2019 and good fishing :)

[@karli3031]

great video as usual!! Keep 'em coming. I do have question though. Why the use of braid? I mean, I understand why braid works better and the invisibility of the flourocarbon, but, if your going to use a fluorocarbon leader, wouldn't it just make your line only as strong as the fluorocarbon? Why not use only fluorocarbon? I feel like the whole set up is only as strong as the weakest link! Hoping you can help educate me on this. Thanks

[@thundermistlures]

You can certainly use straight fluorocarbon, but for example, 20 lb fluoro is much thicker than 20 lb braid, so you will get less fluoro line on your spool and less casting distance, but the braided line is very thin, so more line and more casting distance :) In order to keep the same strength, you can use 20 lb braid and then use a 20 lb fluoro leader - just another option :)

[@karli3031]

Thank you! Makes better sense now!

[@bartholomewtheapostle9442]

Hey Ivo were you attaching the stingeye to a snap swivel?

[@thundermistlures]

...I usually use a (Thundermist) snap, in case I want to change up lure colors :)

[@bartholomewtheapostle9442]

Thanks Ivo buffalonian here. The local dicks near me need to get on their A game and restock your products! Big fan here

[@thundermistlures]

@@bartholomewtheapostle9442 Great to hear from you in Buffalo and thanks for being a great neighbor :)

[@joshdomaracki1945]

what type of fishing line and test are you using?

[@thundermistlures]

Thunderbraid as my main line :)

[@diegot5854]

Ivo👍

[@lukeskywalker1361]

When fishing these lures for salmon in rivers, do u cast upstream or downstream? Or do u just look for pools with barely any current. I fish the vedder river in BC and theres a lot of nice pools but many have a slight current so im not sure where to cast

[@thundermistlures]

...cast upstream and let the lure sink close to bottom - by the time the lure has moved down stream a bit, it should b e directly in front of you and that's when you want to start your retrieve - good luck in BC - beautiful area!!

[@lukeskywalker1361]

Thundermist Lures thank you, it sure is!!

[@Chango_Unchained]

what size sting eyes? thinking about ordering some

[@thundermistlures]

...I was using the size #4....good luck on the water :)

[@heroryan7859]

What lure, gear are you using

[@thundermistlures]

using the Thundermist Stingeye Spinner size# 4 and a pflueger reel and quantum tour edition rod :)

[@heroryan7859]

Thundermist Lures nice thank you! I can’t wait to fish in the Niagara but how did you get to the spot that you fished at in the video. It seems on the woods

[@thundermistlures]

@@heroryan7859 this spot is called the Glen, but it's much easier to get to the Whirlpool and there's also a lot more room at the Whirlpool as well :)

[@heroryan7859]

Thundermist Lures ok thank you!

[@markwhitson]

Hi Ivo, is this at the whirlpool?

[@thundermistlures]

Hi Mark - This was The Glenn - we went there a week ago but could not fish as they have now just posted no trespassing signs, so, unfortunately, this spot is off-limits :(

[@markwhitson]

@@thundermistlures thanks for sharing! Do you know if the Whirlpool is still available to fish?

[@thundermistlures]

@@markwhitson It was in the past but have not been down there lately........

[@崔吉-x6e]

What size works for salmon

[@thundermistlures]

the size #4 Stingeye spinner is ideal for salmon :) Works great!!

[@thundermistlures]

The size#4 Stingeye Spinner is perfect for salmon and it works great!!

[@adreyrad5486]

Hey Ivo, im coming from BC to niagra/st catharines area in late october. i was wondering if fishing is good at that time on the river and what fish runs at that time of year. ive never fished that area so any help or input would be appreciated:)

[@thundermistlures]

Outstanding fishing in late October!! From Shore, both Salmon and Trout and the easiest access point is to fish right in Port Dalhousie - you can fish from the dam down to the lake and closest to the dam is best - outstanding fishing - you will do well :)

[@adreyrad5486]

@@thundermistlures thanks for the help I appreciate it! Is there specific baits or lures I should stick too? I do a lot of float fishing here, would I do the same or just spin cast a spinner?

[@thundermistlures]

@@adreyrad5486 ...best 2 options are spinners (such as the Stingeye) or using the T-Turns on a bottom bounce rig........you can also float fish if you want, and if so, suggest getting your bait close to the bottom - good luck out there - plenty of great fishing in late OCt....it's prime!!

[@adreyrad5486]

@@thundermistlures awesome! I'll try it out, so t turn swivel bottom bouncing with roe? And spinners. Is there a tackle shop close where I buy your spinners?

drop us an e-mail for a replacement - sounds like a defect :)
