Can walleye really taste better than lobster? 🦞🎣
We put John's famous Poor Man's Lobster recipe to the test... and by the end, we had a pretty bold opinion. 😳
Watch until the end and tell us if you agree!
Have you ever made Poor Man's Lobster?

🎣 What does a tournament angler look for the day before competition?

We joined Captain Adam Costich from Ace in the Hole Sportfishing on Lake Erie as he prepared for tournament day, learning how he finds fish, chooses lures, and adjusts his strategy on the water.
Whether you fish Lake Erie or just enjoy a great day on the water, I think you'll enjoy this one.

Since 1877, Elmer Hinckley Fishing Tackleg Tackle has been handcrafting fishing spoons right here in New York.
We had the opportunity to step inside “The Lure Lab” with current owner Pete D’Urso to learn the incredible history behind one of America’s oldest fishing lure companies, how these legendary spoons were originally created from silver teaspoons, and why anglers still trust them today over 145 years later.
If you enjoy fishing history, handcrafted tackle, Finger Lakes traditions, and the stories behind the gear we use on the water, we think you’ll really enjoy this one.
Big thank you to Elmer Hinckley Fishing Tackle for welcoming us into the shop and sharing this amazing story.

Midday panfish fishing on Honeoye Lake was supposed to be slow… until Nick Petrou started dialing in the LiveScope. 🎣
What followed was nonstop action with crappie, bluegill, pumpkinseed, and even a bass mixed in. Watching fish react in real time on sonar was hands down one of the most interesting parts of the day.

🎣 Niagara River Fishing Report – 5/8/26 🎣
Presented by Let’s Catch Fish Nation – Anglers Helping Anglers

📍 Ontario Street / Riverside Park
Walleye are being caught in approximately 18–23 feet of water off Ontario Street near Riverside Park on the Niagara River. Anglers are also picking up the occasional perch, although sizes are currently unknown.

📍 Hertel Ave / Black Rock Canal Lock
South of Ontario Street near the Black Rock Canal Lock, anglers are reporting silver bass along with a few walleye.

📍 Canal Lock Area
At the actual canal lock, anglers are finding one or two walleye mixed in with the occasional musky.

The historic Black Rock Canal has long been a productive stretch of the upper Niagara River and continues to hold spring fish as water conditions change throughout the system.

Thanks again to Scime’s Tackle & Variety for helping provide local information and to everyone sharing reports with the community.
