how is fishing in buffalo

[lineman49]

it was probably nice at the eastern end and Canadian shore. Was more of a east north east wind. It just got worse and worse the longer we were out.

East & northeast wind = nice on our end & worse the farther west you go. Waves have a longer time to build up, just opposite of our normal coming all the way from Ohio.

I went out solo today out of the catt from 7am until 12:30. fished in 80-100fow and only caught one 26in walleye on a stick bait in 85fow with a #1 dipsy with the ring, set to zero and out 145ft, it was sunny when I caught it then clouded up shortly after and the lake flattened out.

I marked some fish here and there from the bottom to about 28fow but no takers. I also tried using 10 color leadcore with a stick bait, side planners with harnesses, and a #1 dipsy with the ring and harness.

Buoy only measures the up of a wave from its water level point not the down. You can count on doubling any buoy wave height and I think...them some most of the time. Nice catch CaptJoe!

I think buoy 45142 measures from the bottom to the top to give the total wave height...Last week when it was real windy and that lady drowned...it reported the waves at 5.6ft.

The data for today appears accurate to what I experience while fishing between Dunkirk and the Catt.

Dan Greenhead is right they only measure from level lake to the top of the crest of the wave. Also one thing to keep in mind is that the data is only transmitted from the buoy to the server once an hour so its not real time all the time the data can be as much as an hour and a half old.

My report is we fished west of center rd. the past 10 days or so and we put 110 walleyes in the boat. We fish no shallower than 85' and no deeper than 95' everything came on 7-10 color, Musky (8oz) torpedo divers on dark colored black with pink blades and any blades with purple in it worked well also. Also Purple Wish, Root Beer, Raspberry Lemonade . and Mystery Machine Long Shallow Bay Rats on the leadcore. Yesterday we had 3 fish over 9lbs and 4 over 8lbs, we did have 1 17" and the rest were 6lbs or bigger.
The clients were pretty happy to say the least. I do have some really good video on the water wolf that I will have up the next few days when I have time to edit it down.

That would be amplitude and therefore incorrect. See the illustration here...http://cdip.ucsd.edu/?sub=index&nav=...ts&xitem=waves

Thanks guys. I'm running them out there for the first time tomorrow. I'm going out of the Catt to 85 - 95 FOW and trolling west toward Dunkirk. Thoughts?

For anyone using Torpedo divers. At what point do you attach the Diver? How many feet out as you let the lure into the water?

50-75ft is the program we run.
