Managed a one-man limit out of Sturgeon Point this morning. Too bad my buddies were not available today as there were a few more bites after that! But all had to be returned. All fish were in the teens, including a couple throwbacks. Marks were more scattered today, so covered lots of water around the 45-foot depth range. Hits came from bottom bouncing and off planer boards with in-lines fished halfway down the water column. Watermelon, and orange and chartreuse harnesses, were the ticket today. So beautiful and calm too!

Where's the departure buoy?

Where's the departure buoy?

As far as I know the departure buoy is gone, not there anymore. It was a red and white buoy that led boats into taking a route into Buffalo by the North and South gaps. It was about 5 miles out of the center gap. Check an old map or chart.
