Hi All,
I am thinking of going to lower Niagara river this weekend, but not sure I want to do vertical jigging... I realize this may not be traditional for this area, but can one troll with downriggers up and down the river? Let's say I will launch from Queenston docks; seems it is the only launch in the area. By the map, it is about 40 fow and it it stays this way or gets deeper up or down the river for a good few miles. Can't I just troll with riggers or bottom bouncers or just plain sinkers with TX-22 close to the boat? Thinking of several feet or fluoro leader and a lure or jig with plastics or kwikfish or crank or spinner as I did on lake Erie... Anyone done that? Any suggestion or tip is very much appreciated.
Thank you in advance. Cheers.
