    Latest Lake Erie temp at the mouth of the Niagra was 44 degrees. when the temp hits closer to the 50-52 degree mark the walleye should be biting better. i see plenty of boats out there at Hamburg Beach area at night but since I haven't heard anything around, I'm thinking that it's not quite warm enough yet. I couldn't wait til 50 degree water to come so I went perchin' the other day and got 37 in 2.5 hours. Good Luck to the "night timers". see you soon, and remember, be curteous!

    Default Fishing Saturday May 14th

    Water temps were up for sure. In the Small Boat Harbour they were 58 or so. I was trolling the outer break walls for bass with stick baits and drop-shotting chubs. I had two customers in from Idaho that just wanted to reel some fish in so bass it was. We put a few in the boat between noon - 3 p.m. Water temps on the outer break wall already 54-56 degrees on the surface. I think this weekend the walleye bite picks up with warmer temps rolling in, especially at night. I plan to be out Fri/Sat and will let you know how we do. Gonna get more serious with walleye fishing this year, just rigged the boat with Traxtech and Folbe rod holders along with 2 downriggers. Hunting some good walleye trolling poles to go along two new line counter reels I added to the arsenal. Any thoughts?

    I have a Black Lund Pro-V SE 1950 with a Merc on the back. Say hello if you see me!

    Was out yesterday for 4 hrs., 10am. to 2pm. tried various baits (minnow on three way, kwik fish, worm harneses, and stickbaits) in several locations from departure bouy to round house and along outer break wall, nothing at all. Surface temp was 43 deg., or northeast wind was probably somewhat to blame. Anyone know where you can launch in the Buffalo area after hours for night fishing?

    Things are looking up. I think I seen a big orange thing in the sky today -or at least for a short time. Hopefully Sturgeon Pt. will open tomorrow. We can start launching form there and then we can start posting some good news. The lake temp looks like the lake temp went down a little bit. But it will come up. I can't believe the reports form the weather buoy. Ther has been more wave heights of 0.0 this year than I have seen in a l o n g time.

    Heading out tonight off of Hamburg, weather permiting. Was down at the dock last night watched about 10 boats launch between 8-9pm. Heard that the lake flipped recently. I think that is when the cold water flops with the warm?

    Maiden voyage tonight, with the old man and the lil guy.

    Talking bait restrictions

    Hello there guys. I like the idea of using this forum as well for the Eastern end of Lake Erie! I know on another site, a group of us exchanged boat information and emails and came up with a plan on how to contact each other on VHF when out on the lake to give each other some tips and pointers to save on gas and time. Only problem is, I am one of the few guys from Eastern Lake Erie. If anybody here would like to be a part of the group--let me know!

    Also I have a couple questions for you....

    1. What are the new baitfish restrictions? I thought I had hear they were going to be allowing transportation over land in selected "corridors" along the Eastern edge of Lake Erie. Is this true? I can't find much on it.

    2. What are your preferred baitshops in the area near the small boat harbor and Sturgeon Point? Are some better than others? I'd like to get your opinions.

    Thanks,

    Matt

    Talking

    Boxed four nice eyes off of hamburg last night, 17", 22", 24" 25"! O course my 7 year old son caught the 25". 6ft of water #13 rapala, and black and siver hot n tot. 3 of the eyes came off the my walley board. The 25 was a female, no eggs, so I wounder if some of these girls are spawing out.(I am no scientist. Trolled between 1.6-1.95 mph. Hooked up some split shots in front of the sticks. About 15-20 boats off of hamburg and 10 off of smokes.

    Is there a fog horn on the lake or where we hearing a laker. Sounded cool. This saltwater boy is now a wallyman.

    Good luck everyone!
