how is fishing in buffalo

[bailey]

I'll be out next sat to give em hell good luck all let us know how you all make out. This spring has been next to unbelievable for all types of fishing lets hope it carries over to erie eyes. Joe glad the truck is hopefully fixed and right, shoot me a text if you get out. I'll be giving a case of lead poisoning to a bird or 2 then its time to chase some eyes myself.

Hey good luck you guys can't wait to hear how you do. I'm in the process of getting my kicker motor installed found a good deal and and pretty stoked about having a backup/trolling motor, can't wait to get out on the water again.

Milt - good luck. I didn't want to make a maiden voyage at night but you gotta do what you gotta do. You might see some unique manuvers at the launch ramp. Be kind to me.
Fishkiller - here's one for you - you can brag about it in OHIO. while your around the fire. I finally had a chance to plug in some of the numbers that you gave me. You put me in the Atlantic Ocean off of Charleston NC. It was some 653 miles. I wouldn't mind being there right now but it will be a trick to navigate a straight path to that area. check your PM. Yeah, you will blame it on my hearing.

Well, to answer the question that I asked the other day, I found a site listing temperatures at the water treatment plant at the mouth of the river (30 ft deep). Today, the temp is 47F. For the past few years, we hit or passed this temp on the following days:
May 23, 2011: 48F
May 14, 2010: 48F
May 11, 2009: 48F
We has a miserable spring last year, and the night bite seemed to start (for me at least) in the last weekend of May. So, my guess is that we may be about 1-2 weeks ahead of "typical", and about 1 week away from good action long-lining sticks...

I went out tonight to do a little Pre opener scouting. Mainly looking for half sunk trees in the trolling path. Surface water was at 63f. Put two lines out and got nothing. I did not go in front of hoaks. Where I was has always produced limits. I did not search deeper. Maybe these fish are in Post spawn.
