- i filmed this video with a HD hero with the Eye of mine corrective flat lens. I had the little camera riding shotgun on my sony HD unit, and thought it did a nice job.
If you watch carefully, you will see walleye, perch, a steelhead, bass, muskie, a mudpuppy, emerald shiners and spot tail shiners, and gobies
June, and within sight of Strawberry Island. We prefer that drift, and between the bridges on the Fort Erie side for filming Walleye, Bass and Musky. Fair amounts of fish and generally good vis. with interesting reefs and wrecks.
Jim that's a great video. I had no idea the bottom looked like that. Wow tons of minnows and no shortage of Muskies. Good to see because someone told me they were on the decline. That mudpuppy seemed to be enjoying that current ride. Hope to see some more videos from you. Cheers.
Beautiful underwater shots!
the water looks pretty clear
Awesome video!
We take turns.There is someone up in the boat, keeping an eye on our float. We surface after a set amount of time, or low air, then the boat putts up to us and we climb in. It is easy diving once you learn how to work WITH the river. This was shot up by Rich. we were out there today too. Dove the morning, fished the afternoon, and biked the riverwalk from NT to Ontario st and back this evening. Enjoyed every minute of it.
while we can get the occasional smallmouth to eat, muskies are just not that aggressive when it comes to eating.
Great video, thanks for sharing that.
yesss that's cool
@pmc291 On the U.S. side, there is Isle View and Niawanda parks. This is a frequent drift made by many. The Discover Diving shop often has events on this stretch. I would recommend the Ontario side in the Area of Frenchman's Creek, however. The visibility is always better, some times dramatically, it is all parkway along there, and there are some nice fish, with a chance for an old bottle or two.
I believe that's a mudpuppy with gill issues. It could be a hellbender, as they are similar. Those Red October Monster tubes offer a reasonable representation of a dying adult goby, a bullhead, or a hellbender/ mudpuppy.
very cool
I did, but it's been a few years. We dove Navy. I saw a few bass, nothing special that day. I remember when the waters around the Island held some big Muskies. Back in the Early 90's
Nice! Thanks
@rickyy33 I purchased it on line from the Go Pro HD hero site. The corrective flat lens was through the Eye of Mine website. I also have a a JVC HD Everio and underwater enclosure for sale if you are interested
@zyxwfish They are actually the toughest fish to film. They spook very easily. Check carp and sturgeon on my channel, there are a few in that one.
At what depth are you filming the musky?
Great vids thanks, keep the walleyes comin!
120 feet
How are you swimming so F A S T under there !?!?!?!?!?
Cool :)
Jesus, why would they bite my artificial lures with that many baitfish around? LOL
so awesome guys wanna tell where yo u guys ere rooughl when yo seen those musky were yo dwn by strawberry island or mouth of riiver annd wat time of ear it was ?
@trappage: I'm not quite sure. Was concentrating on getting the shot, but between 12-20 feet, as this is the common range of depth on this dive.
Have you ever dove by navy island or thru the points heard current was to strong over there
Nice mudd puppy at 2:00. Can you reccomend put in take out points? I've been meaning to dive the Niagra for quite some time.
@Icehut Thank you. Check out "Buffalo Bass Fishing- The W.C. Richardson." on my channel for some underwater fishing.
I was told it's illegal to dive there. Because the turbulence from the falls would push you straight down to the bottom
There is a keep out zone that starts about a half mile north of Grand Island, and the river is too dangerous to dive again until about a half mile downstream of the Lewiston, Queenston Bridge. As far as I know, that is the only restricted area.
it's shallow diving, 25 feet deep,or less.
like glendale region ?
@jimkinner How much are you looking to get for it?
No carp?
I don't swim much at all! I just ride the flow.
how deep is it where you were diving.
omg this sstupid key i meeant where you guys were and wat time of year was it
Very cool! Great sound track - who is it?
Kevin Macleod if I remember correctly. He put out a lot of pieces that are free to use. He always seems to have something that fits . I use his stuff quite a bit
Thanks! Found a bunch at freemusicarchive.org/music/Kevin_MacLeod/ Do you do group dives? I was thinking about getting back into diving a while ago but didn't get around to it, your video piqued my interest again. I was thinking about trying to do a dive through Dan's Dive Shop... Is there a group you'd recommend? (id need to rent gear, but am PADI certified) dansdiveshop.ca/ Thanks again!
Unless I am on vacation, and going out on a charter, i usually avoid group dives. You just don't see the fish life when so many people are in the water, and exploring a shipwreck with just one other diver has a completely different feel. I'd suggest you take a pool session with a shop to get re-aquainted, and do an open water dive with them. If it turns out to be something you want to do more of, I would suggest checking out the Niagara Divers association, and, or the Fort Erie underwater recovery unit and scuba club. Before you buy anything from a shop, Check E-Bay and Craigslist, along with online shops like Leisure Pro. Lots of guys buy 2 k worth of gear, get out a few times, and then it sits in the cellar until the wife wants it gone.
WOW, you could be swept away ... YIKES !!!!
Wondering what part of the river you were in.
I enjoyed Isle View and Rich Marine today. :)
Miles away from the Falls.
at like 2:12 what kind of creature is that?
It's a mudpuppy.
can you message me private and tell me the where abouts you were diving ?
Upper Niagara river. I don't get too specific. It's not fair to the fish, or the people that suggest good spots.
