Bobby Winds if a person fishes the harbor area would it be a good idea to get a Canadian license?

No, you don’t need a Canadian license to fish the outer harbor, it’s in NYS waters. I haven’t purchased a Canadian license in over 10 years.

Early season walleye bite is close to shore on the NYS side. In very late July and mostly August I like to fish the “Picket Fence” area that’s right on the border about 7 - 10 miles out of the harbor.

In May inside the harbor, just outside its walls and around the Buffalo River and around the “The Round House” that is at the head of the Niagara River all produce walleyes and the areas are very close to shore.

In June most guys like to fish “Behind The Wind Mills” in 25’ to 45’ of water. Go out the harbor’s South Gap and turn south (left) for 1-3 miles. LOTS of walleyes catch here until they start to move out.

You can see all these areas via that Google Map I include in my above post. Zoom In and Out to view these areas.

We have several other ports in Lake Erie I use depending if I’m Walleye fishing or going after my favorite Lake Erie JUMBO Perch.

Thanks Bobby always wanted to fish Erie but hated the idea of maybe only being able to fish 3 days out of week being there. This just might make a good option.

I take an OTC pill called Bonnine. Wally World carries a generic version. Take one the night before and one the morning of the trip. Helps me a lot.

I find Bonnine better than Dramamine because Dramamine makes me sleepy.

I’ve also heard the benefits of ginger.

I’ll have to try that, I take Dramamine before I go out on Erie and it does make me sleepy. It’s funny I can fish just about any other body of water without getting sick but on Erie I get a little sick.

I fished many years on ocean charters and had a big problem with seasickness. A lot of OTC stuff worked but the side effects were more than I could handle. I found something called a Relief Band Classic which doctors prescribe for morning sick pregnant women. I wear it like a wristwatch and it gives a mild electrical shock on a specific pressure point. For me this device really worked and I didn't have to take that medicine anymore. I've also used it on Lake Erie and even at Universal Studios coasters and it's always worked perfectly for 20 years. https://www.reliefband.com/collections/reliefband

Thanks for the info. I passed it on to my neighbor and he is thrilled to learn that something may work.

My wife loves to fish and we fish Erie a few times a year. My wife suffers from motion sickness and I do also although to a much lesser degree. We have tried many things and last year tried Sea Bands accupressure bands. They worked for us.

Also maybe try a charter service which uses catamarans. They ride much different in the water. Much less rolling. Try to troll with the waves or against the waves. Maybe not the preferred route depending on the day, but it keeps you on the water and fishing.
