The fishing scene around the cottage

Niagara County is well-known as a fishing hot-spot, and the cottage in right in the middle of the action.  In fact, the fishing is great right out in front of the cottage, it's a favorite spot for many! 

The secret they know (and keep to themselves) is that there's a seawall out about a hundred feet, which attracts the minnows, and that brings the big guys around.  Click the pics below for the full-size view.

2006:

Fishermen by the seawall in front of cottage.

Mike and friends after fishing the area Spring 2006, these guys aren't going away hungry! : ) (cottage is in the background).

Mikes group by the bank with the catch of the day (King Salmon). Cottage has a 24" pan for the firepit, but these guys are pushing our capacity!!! : )

2007: the Welland Canal was a favorite fishing spot this year.

Out by the bank of the cottage (on the way to the firepit?).

Out on the boat, the guys really had their hands full on this trip!

If they run out of gas, they just get more fish on the lines and dangle bait in front of them for a free tow! What, another fish story you say?

At the Fort Niagara launch, two miles West of the cottage.

 

Another favorite spot is about a mile out from the mouth of the Lower Niagara River, which is two miles West of the cottage.

 

The cottage is just two miles from the Fort Niagara boat ramps (near the mouth of the Lower Niagara River).
