how is fishing in buffalo

Anyone Muskie fishing in the river?

No. But where would you launch? I went by the Ontario St. launch and it was full of seaweed. There is construction going on in the area also along the road next to the river. I don't think you could launch a boat without clearing off the ramp. ????

Would have to clear Ontario ramp off. Is foot of Sheridan launch closed?

[lineman49]

could check out/try the launch at the foot of sheridan dr. near the power plant for river access. Also the SBH leaves a ramp open til the end of Nov. near Dougs dive.

If its not blowin sbh isn't a bad run for the river. I'd pretty much fish from the RR bridge and around strawberry. Anyone fish for Muskie? I've never landed one only hooked into a couple bass fishing. 8lb test, no steel and a 4ft toothy fish doesn't ever work out.

I even remember a YouTube video of people drifting squaw island and catching steelhead on 3ways and sacs that's always a good fall fishing idea

I didn't go to the foot of Sheridan. Isn't that a Tonawanda launch site? You have to be a resident? Ths launch at the foot of Ontario use to be good. In the past I've seen many cars / trucks in the parking lot. But not last Sunday. I was always concerned how safe your vehicle and trailer are there with no security. ??

I launched at foot of Sheridan. It's a public launch. But they charged $10 on weekends. Ontario I've never had a problem. But i don't stay there too late. And I'm sure they see my big lifted diesel and think they don't wanna meet the owner lol. Ontario during the day is cool

Has anyone dipped for emerald shiners recently? Are there good numbers by the foot of Ferry?

[lineman49]

I dipped at Ferry last Wed. & they were sparse, it took a while to get 100+ but it was very windy there also lots of junk in the way.

Heading south tomorrow. Heading right into SANDY - going to Myrtle Beach. I can't win. The last several weekends it's been crummy - wind, rain, water spouts. Couldn't get out. Now I have a week off and where am I going - INTO A TROPICAL STORM. It will probably turn into a HURRICANE by the time I hit it. I'm starting to believe I am the JONAH.
