how is fishing in buffalo

Do you realize the weather could have worse. It could have been snowing. If that rain was snow - oh boy. Milt - it's a long story. Lost by a run. We haven't played in two weeks and it was like starting all over again. Yes Bailey, we will give them hell tomorrow. I will most likely be going out of Dunkirk in my neighbors boat.

I should be out tomorrow with the family going for perch, launching out of sturgeon. We may make a run up north a little to 60 ft of water, haven't decided yet.

Went out this Am. got 3 14" perch & 1 12" bass while trolling for eyes. Marked very few fish. Trolled from depart. bouy to front of condos 40-60 fow saw 0 ! Also remembered why I don't do weekends, launch crowds !

I do not want to hear about perch; they are too hard to clean. I want yellow pike ! Where are the schools ?

[bailey]

Well we got 7to eyes 2 keepers and lost something big the fish never hit till 11 straight out front between 18 mile and meyers. In 40 to 45 fow.

Saturday...

2 trophy smallies and 1 6-7lb yellow...tough day, covered lots of water from the Fence in 55-fow to Meyers in 36-fow and Seneca in 41-fow, marked very few fish, widely scattered.

my best picture (not a great picture btw) of the day was out deep off the Fence

picked the yellow up in 41-fow just west of the red can. north troll, black/pink hatchet, 20 ft off down rigger ball, 2.1-mph down speed. another hit and miss in the same area, and we called it a day.

worked hard for very little. back at it after the front passes.

Jim I can't stop and have a beer with you if your not on ur moored vessel. Lol.

I'll post my awesome day later on. Still got some stuff to do at the house while it's light

I'm not in the tourney. Just took my uncle out fishin. Well we launched from sp. I decided to head west. Trolled from Evans bar to past cattaragus creek. Started at 38ft and worked through to 55fow. No eyes. One perch and one silver bass. Ended up with a broken downrigger rod and a lost harness. Decided to try by 18 mile and Meyers. My wonderful uncle tossed the cannonball over the back and snapped the cable, losing the ball, release, and snubber, costing me more money. And again no eyes. I hope everyone's day was better than mine!

Hi everyone, I am a newbie to this site. I appreciate all the info, and thanks to all who are willing to share their experience with beginners like me! Between work and having younger kids life gets pretty busy, but I am happy to be able to get out when I can (usually several times over the summer). With walleye fishing, I am at the stage where I'm always still very glad to even get one fish to the boat! Looking forward to reading through a bit more here, and I see some of you are SWA members. My son has the kid membership, and I have been meaning to try to get to a meeting and join sometime myself. Looking to learn more and improve in the years ahead.

I did get out this evening and managed to hook one smaller 'eye off the windmills in about 38 fow (guessing a 2010 year class given the size). 5 chartreuse beads and a colorado blade, the same (and only) pattern that I ended up catching all of my walleyes on last year. Saw lots of interesting marks, but no other takers... Earlier I tried 26-45 fow off Myers but nothing was doing.
