Hey McFly.
I too am planning on visiting the whirlpool but your statement concerns me a little as I consider myself as to be one of those who doesn't know what they are doing. What techniques would you suggest I follow? I remember you wrote that you used minnows. I didn't plan on purchasing minnows as I already have a pretty good selection of soft and hard plastics and I'll get some worms, perhaps corn as well. Advice?

Niagara has weed beds, lots of large boulders, a deep incline, and pretty crazy currents that zig zag. Try to prevent snagging by using lures off the bottom, and if your going on the bottom try to rig breakaway sinkers as you will snag pretty much every single time.

If anyone is there Monday, come say hi, I'll be there wearing a red raptors hat. I would definitely be willing to give tips on techniques. However, I'll be going there strictly to catch Carp, Buffalo Carp, and 'River Monsters"
