I hate rough water as much as or even more than the next guy, beleive me... I absolutely hate it! You drive slow, take your time, and deal with it - but nobody I know "likes" it! You just have to watch the websites for winds and plan accordingly - and be cautious out there...

With the light winds last weekend, I totally expected at least double the boats last weekend, just dissappointed - not with the CSFL - as always they ran a great event; just shocked that more local guys didn't show up...

the truth re: the upper niagara river is that it too has phenominal fishing! I'm no expert down that way by any means I typiaclly can only get down there a few times a year, but it is truly an amazing fishery. It aint for everybody - but it is loaded with fish and a most viable option... If guys fished it more I think for sure you'd see big weights from the river too... Paul's video is testament to that!
