Had an hour to fish the Chaumont River behind my Father's house before I headed back to Buffalo. This is my childhood spot and it always produces in the fall when fish move up the river from Lake Ontario to feed. Hooked both fish on a weightless T-rigged Zoom Fluke. The Perch absolutely hammered it. Love throwing weightless baitfish plastics when the temps start to drop. The Northern came out of the weeds right were I was casting and grabbed it. lucky it was so close to shore or I would of lost it to those pesky little teeth.
This Perch is getting fat for the Winter.
The Northern was in about 10" of water. Decent size this far down the river.
I just want to say thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread. So much local info I don't think is available anywhere else online. Hopefully we can bring back the weekly conversations, I was bummed to see the thread die down.
