You can launch at a public launch in fort erie. Go down bertie st. turn left at niagara blvd and the launch is just north of nicholls marine on your right. Just be mindful of the stronger current areas towards the middle of the river. Just down river from the launch is some funky back currents and undertows going on so becareful of that area. Look for grass and rocks and fish with heavier jigs and you will get some action. Good luck.
