Wow - The ice is now almost gone - http://coastwatch.glerl.noaa.gov/mod...s.php?region=e
Hello everyone,
Not sure if this is the right place for this questions so please excuse me if it is. I'm looking to visit WNY in May for smallmouth. Any recommendations for hotels that have good access for boats/boat charging between trips and fishermen? Will be launching out of SBH.
Thanks
OK - I'll bite. Based on the number of non-resident fishermen who come to Lake Erie to fish the May bass bite I would suggest Dunkirk. This is also a good destination if Lake Erie kicks up and blows as you have the protected waters of the harbor to fish. While there may be less expensive places to stay within a couple of miles of the Dunkirk Boat Launch, the Clarion is within a 1/4 mile from the launch. There a quite a few of out of staters that do camp at Lake Erie State Park which is about 8 miles west of Dunkirk. The park has tent sites and cabins available for rent and that will also give you the option to fish out of Barcelona which is about 10 miles west of the State Park.
try the talley ho motel right off the interstate 90 hamburg exit bass tournament guys stay there a lot of room to park only 5-10min to the sbh there other hotels in the area one in Lackawanna best western about a 2 min ride to the launch
Thanks for the hotel ideas. I drove past both and know where there are. Realized I should have started a new thread instead of hijacking this one. (first time posting)
You are much better off staying around Hamburg some where and fishing out of small boat harbor for bass. If its bad weather you can still fish behind the wall.
its not called talley ho anymore its a motel 6
There's always Rick's Tally ho but it's not a hotel lol although that's probably changed names now to lolQuote:

You drove right by the Oak , lol. Better fishing closer to home but no skunk so not a bad day!
Went out of Wilson on Thursday. Between Wilson and Olcott we picked up a Very small King, a decent Laker, and a Brown. The fish shut down for us very early. Not a hit after 9:00...Quote:

Lots of good fishing in the outer harbor. And don't overlook the upper river around grand island for bass either.Quote:

Any predictions how opening weekend will be on the eastern end near SBH for 'eyes?
It'll be a slow night bite till it warms up more. I hate to say snd these temps aren't helping it out much.
water temp is 36 if I remember last year the bite didn't start till end of may
this mornings paper stated the sbh will have limited access for the opener and till the harbor opens on the 15th
I was wondering if they were gonna open it up, went Monday for slip they had 170slips open and 80 some people looking for a slip
did you get a slip ? what dock ? i'm on i dock
I got a slip on o dock
so rather than searching for eyes out of SBH, might be better off heading to the Cat for ringbacks??
