Fished the Whirlpool lots of times as a young man whilst on fishing holidays from England, caught many King Salmon the biggest touching around 30 lbs great times and one of the best fishing venues in the world for Salmon, Carp and Trout..oh to be young again but at 68 now that walk got the better of me on the way back up the hill...Mike Gloucester UK.

Mighty for sure . Thanks for including the month of the year, you listened to your subscribers.

videos keep getting better and better and so much information on lures, gear and locations. Great place to be in WNY !

This guy is always positive. Love it. Great skills and always in a good mood. Must be all those Salmon biting! ;)

Hello. I wished to be with you at this shore. Nice to see what a joy you have and thank you for this Video. Greetings from Northern Germany

Keep up the great work Ivo! as a Fort Eriean it's always lovely to see others having fun on our beautiful waters!

Hi IVO . . . Two very nice Salmon and so huge sorry about the second fish which did not make the release - I have to agree with you on the best times are in the fall to catch fish that's when I enjoy fishing the most -

Great fish! Glad you didn't put the last one to waste.

Kings love that sting eye down here in Wisconsin and illinois. Got all colors but best producing one has been the gold one.

Hello Ivo. I was fishing at Port Dalhousie on Wednesday and had a chance to meet you and talk about fishing. Watching some of your videos fishing for salmon at the Whirlpool. I would like to try that but find the thought a bit intimidating even when you make it look so easy. It's a three hour drive from the London area but I'll keep watching and maybe I'll work up enough nerve to try the Niagara River. Hope your wife's guilt show and your trip to London was a hit. Also I deeply appreciate your generosity. Keep up the good work and I'll keep watching and maybe we'll meet again. Thanks again. Dennis

Do you recommend braided over mono for the lower niagara river such as whirlpool?

@thundermistlures

10 ай бұрын

Yes I do - however, be sure to use a mono or fluoro leader of at least 18 inches in length or longer...do not tie braid directly to your lure as the salmon can see the braid - this is why you need a mono or fluorocarbon leader - good luck out there

Ivo ! Big van of you're videos and lures. Great job always keeping those lines tight! I'm very interested in buying a few of the stingeyes. Would you recommend using that for steelies and browns down on the river or mostly just for salmon? Appreciate any help or advice from yourself or any viewers , thanks! 🐟

Well done, great salmon! I can really see that Spinner as a good option here in the tropics, in the Amazon for peacock bass. Its for sure piranha-resistant and I think even great in murky water. Might even catch tarpon in the estuary. I don't think they are sold here in Brazil right?

Hi Ivo. So I’m on the Buffalo side of the river and I went to Art Park in Lewiston. There they have a platform set up that protrudes into the water so you’re casting 20 foot from shore really. I was using spinners and spoons but to me it seems that the water was moving to quickly? Do you have any advice on how you would fish that spot ?

@thundermistlures

4 жыл бұрын

....with such strong current, try a heavier lure, such as the size 6 Stingeye or something similar.....otherwise, you can also bottom bounce a roe bag, again, using a heavier sinker. Good luck - that is a good spot you are fishing :)

Bravo 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

are you using any swivels to connect your main line to the leader ?

Fished the Niagara river yesterday. Mid September. Spend 12 hours and didn’t catch anything. I lost 4 stingeye spinners getting snagged on rocks. Saw a lot of salmon’s jumping, but no bites. I am planning to go back next month. Do you have any recommendation on not getting snagged on rocks and loosing the lure.

@thundermistlures

3 жыл бұрын

count down till you feel bottom, then be sure to fish above that - example, if you hit bottom after letting your lure fall 10 seconds, then next time, start reeling in after 8 or 9 seconds - I will try to include some tips in a video some day :)

I can’t believe you aloud to fish the river for salmon when they start to spawn they close fishing for them

Ivo, how is the salmon fishing in November on the river?

Was this filmed this year? I heard hardly any salmon are running in the niagara yet and not much going on at port dalhousie either as far as I can tell, so pretty impressive you got two. Hoping things pick up this week with the colder weather coming, water temp is still pretty warm so hopefully thats why it is as slow as it is.

I seen a video of man going fishing there. One's you get parked it's like a mile walk down to the river. But if you get a chance to go there you go. Because that is a great spot to fish. Make sure you take some swim tails baits with an assortment of lead head jigs and you should do pretty good. Have fun now and good luck. Go get them.

If u walk halfway down the bay to the left, I count a solid 10 seconds after cast then begin slow retrieve. If your right in front of the path, I count to maybe 5-7. Haven’t lost any sting eyes since I talked to ivo about this!

early in the Fall, they could still be biting, but generally speaking, as the season moves on, they are more interested in spawning as opposed to eating

Fishing with Birkenstock’s on? That’s a new one.

Thats like hunters shooting prey in the butt just for fun...

Don't try that hike up that hill if you're over 60...
