how is fishing in buffalo

[Ty-Lure]

Lineman....as long as your having fun thats what matters. I've always said that getting the fish is just a bonus as long as your enjoying the rest of the adventure, but a good day of catching sure doe's sweet'n the pot. What are you getting them on @ the gap? Are you running the wall, drifting etc. I'm always looking for some water to fish when the lake is to rough. Once the boat is in the water you have to get the lines wet somewhere lol. I might run out tonight for a few hours if my friend gets out of work on time. Keep ya posted if i do.

Running the wall to the opening into the sleel plt. or from the lite house across to the harbor towards the so. end marina, then north to just pass the pier/ grain silos. useing green or chartuse. harnesses off a 3 way with 2oz. lead. 24 -31 fow, nice on windy days !

Thanks for the info Lineman....I know all the landmarks you stated. We use to launch at so. end marina for years @ the grain mills and pier. Is there still a launch there or is that all closed up now? It was 10 yrs. since I put a boat in the water there. It was'nt a pretty ramp but no crowds. Not hitting the water tonight but hoping for the 4th. Thanks again!!!!!

Ty, nice going on your fish catch. I was near the condos & only got 2 on Mon. I fished inside the so. gap this Am caugth 20 ended up with 4 keepers & a 14" perch chased by a 3+ ft. muskie! Had fun.

I bet that perch was jumpin in ur boat lol. Muskies and big pike always get the blood pumping when they appear out of nowhere bostside.

I unfortunately caught a nasty "rockfish" in the river on Sunday, so I'm without a prop til my new one comes in or my buddy gets around to fixing mine. Whichever comes first. Ha ha.

It was for the camaro copo. Which I never owned. Where I used to work back in the day had a 1969 unrestored trans am convertible. As well as a couple copo camaros. The guy does nothing but deal in gm muscle and parts. I sold my type Lt camaro a couple yrs ago. When I can afford to I think I'm gonna build a 30s-50s pro street truck next. Everyone has a camaro, Chevelle, and nova now a days. The screen name is my email address from way back in the day.

Copo, I got a rockfish one 4th. of July. It cost me $2,100 to get repaired. Was not the best tasteing fish I ever had, left a bad taste !! I always wanted to get a older truck also, missed out on a "47 Ford" pickup a yr. ago. Had a" 55 Chevy" 2 dr. hardtop in the late 60's . Now I am in the 60's, life goes on.

My friend has a 39 ford street/strip pickup he said he might sell me but I don't have the funds right now.
Yeah the dinged up prop sucks. I know the river pretty good and what my boat drafts. There's a long shallow point that comes out in the west river after beaver island marina. I was way out from shore, just clicked into gear. I was explaining how tubing works while we were getting it ready. My cousin goes woah. Weeds we're shallow all of a sudden, I looked at where we were and and said we are fine then click click click! I forgot the hydro plant was drawing water. So it was a couple ft shallower than it should have been.
But it happens. At least I didnt do that amount of damage that you did lineman. Sandy at rocky bottom told me to go with a different size and pitch prop anyways, said it would perform all around better. So my buddies fixing my prop so I'll have a spare now at least.

HAPPY 4TH TO EVERYONE and good luck fishing.
