Smallmouth Bass
Chasing smallmouth bass around Kenmore, NY, means heading to the Niagara River. This waterway is renowned for its healthy smallmouth population. The rocky bottom and swift currents create ideal conditions for these hard-fighting fish. The best time to target them is late spring through early fall, when the water temperatures are warmer. Look for smallmouth near rocky points, submerged ledges, and current breaks. A local's secret: the area around the Peace Bridge can be particularly productive, but be mindful of security restrictions. For boat access, consider using the boat launch at Gratwick Waterfront Park. Smallmouth in the Niagara are known for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs, so be sure your drag is set appropriately. Using tubes or drop-shot rigs near the bottom is a reliable strategy. Remember to check the water levels and flow rates before heading out, as conditions can change rapidly on the Niagara.
