how is fishing in buffalo

[Slapshot]

First time out this morning, trolled for 6 hours and only managed 1 walleye, 1 bass and 1 sheephead. worked hard and threw the kitchen sink at them. Trolled in from of the windmills, out to in front of the condo's and to meyers reef. For all the supposed spawning thats been happening the last few years, where are all the walleye?

Fished from 5-10 p.m. yesterday.

Since all I've heard from ice out is that fishing is about two weeks ahead of normal patterns I decided to start out near the elbow and work my way in from there. Two other boats I saw out that far working horizontally toward Seneca Shoal as I kept straight toward the Windmills. I saw little to nothing from 48fow-40fow. Did hook something large that spit the hook in about 39fow and another that spit it as well eventually in front of the windmills. All n all, my screen was dead as a doornail in the water I covered ranging from 30-48....

I'd be interested at this point to find out if some of the shore spots on the river aren't producing as well.

At least 2 walleye today. One weigher !/2 way from the elbow south Seneca Shoals. Seen more on the screen than the last few days but not great. 2 color and 5 color worked with worm harnesses.

trolled west out of the Catt from 4am to 10am sunday. Started in 30 fow but marked most fish in 45. I tried everything I knew to do but only caught two perch. Frustrating but was a beautiful morning.

Hey HR, it seemed as if there were better reports coming from that area for both walleye and perch lately. Were you marking perch schools in that depth? I know they’re still supposedly thick in that 55ft zone. I wonder if the eyes could be hanging out deeper out there considering how good the perch reports are still. Thanks

I know I marked one area that was a school of perch. I picked one up out of that school on a harness as I passed through it. Others were typical walleye marks. There were some boats out in the 50 foot range but none seemed to stick around. I didn't see anyone net a fish there. Will try them again this week. Good luck.

Unless I’m mistaken…it’s where the international line makes a 45 degree(ish) angle. If you were to make a straight shot out of the south entrance to the line, it’s not far off to the southwest of there.
