Newbie looking for advice

[meatface]

Hello All,

I'm new to the forum here and haven't really been fishing much since I was a kid. I used to shore fish alot as a kid for catfish and carp in local ponds and rivers.

I now live in Beamsville, Ontario (Niagara Region) and am looking to get going on some fishing. I'd like to try the whirlpool in Niagara Falls but I'm not sure what sort of a rig I should be setting up. I'm game for catching any species, I just need some help getting going. At this time of year I'm not certain what species is most likely to be hitting and at what time of day.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Meatface
