how is fishing in buffalo

[bailey]

Will running out of small boat tomorrow to 53 , setup and troll into 51-45. Best to let wind and current tell you direction. If you can't touch bottom trolling then drift bottom bouncers.

see thread Buffalo: small boat harbor below

Went out at dunkirk this morning - only caught 1 'eye. We were in 80-90 FOW using mostly worm harnesses, 1 stick bait, and I believe it was an orange spoon that caught the walleye.

Over the radio I heard out towards evangola they were marking fish and big bait clouds.

The wife (Peppermint) and I (Salt) were out on Friday (August 19) and put three in the box, the largest being 7.5 pounds. We were just north of the line, south of Abino to south of Port Colborne in 62-72 feet of water. Couple of nice perch, too, but a slow day. We were marking lots of fish from 20 to 60 feet down but they weren't actively feeding. Took two on dipsey 20's/green worm harnesses, 180 feet back and one on the downrigger / purple & black harness at a depth of 40 feet. Trolling at 1.5 mph. We're waiting for the lake to stop boiling to get out again, looking like Friday. We're going to move southwest into 80+ feet of water.

with the new NYS 3-rod law...

i can now (with a two person crew) fish 12 baits at a time for suspended schooling erie eyes, also btw w/o tangling...

awesome deep open water program, and not possible without the law change...

new york assembly/governor finally did something right for those that pay more than their fair share of the bills...

better late than never, thanks!!!

First boat out of the Catt on friday, ran out to the line and trolled west. Got 1 on dipsy 160ft back #3 setting. Caught 2 more around 11:30 on 40 jet 120ft back off of board. All 3 fish came on worm harness.

Who's going out tomorrow? I plan on going out of Sturgeon Point and heading north towards the line. Good luck to all.

Peppermint and I will be out just after dawn. We'll be heading southwest into 80 feet of water. Listen for our chatter on 68. Best of luck to all.

I caught a few outside of the North Gap last night, including a 7 pounder. It sounds like the action is picking up again...

Hey capt where did you launch out of today?

[captainjoe]

We ended up with 11. Best day on the lake this year. I went in my neighbors boat. He has a slip at Dunkirk. We went N E 8 mi and trolled north to the line. All but one came off big boards with jets and deep divers and worm harnesses. No special colors today. They all seemed to work. The screen was the best that we seen. They were biting very ligh. Check your lines often they might be hanging on.
