Goby populations, like all other fish, fluctuate. This seems to be a down year for all baitfish. I see some gobies, but not many. The emerald shiner run was sparse as well. I think this might be why fishing's so good this summer. Good numbers of gamefish, not a lot of forage. Our baits look good to hungry fish.

Two Fingers Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 Nice to see the numbers of walleye in the river. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimski2 Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 The Ontario record walleye was taken from Thompson Hole in 1943. It weighed 23 pounds. Caught by a shore fisherman and witnessed by many. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might see any kind of fish that lives in lake Erie. You go in a circle. It was fun, but a bit dangerous. The backdraft held the most gamefish. Mounds of dead zebra mussel shells washed up out of the hole like sand dunes. The fish held between them. The bottom of that hole is over 60 ft deep.

lineman49 Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 Wondering just where this was filmed (don't give your hot spot away) . At the mouth of the river , out in the lake, near the round house ?? I had a friend that use to dive near the round house & always said people wouldn't believe the numbers & size of the fish in that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donkeykong Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 Wow! Thanks for sharing this!! It was mesmerizing! I am not familiar with the Niagara river besides being a tourist from Ohio. I was always under the impression that there would be a very strong current.... most of my diving has been in tropical parts of the ocean.... the few fresh water dives I did I have very little recollection of... It was really neat to see how the fish hold to the bottom... nothing like I had imagined. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't know. I see some with black patches as well. Maybe just genetics, but I'm guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
