how is fishing in buffalo

Got out Friday. Sorry for the late report. Picked up 4. 3 nice size one small 17" along the line. That's better than what I've been doing.

Not much better today. Got 2 in 70 fow west of Dunkirk. I do need some help though. I started fishing with boards this year (Church Walleye Boards) and have been running them with bottom bouncers and getting bites. The problem is I am having a tough time hooking fish or even telling if one is there. Short of scrapping them for offshore boards with tattle flags does anyone have any tricks that can help me improve my hook up percentage?

Did the evening bite Saturday. Still marking a ton out there on the line… Only took two sheep’s and a perch. Pulling both sticks n harnesses at 2mph-ish…

New to forum, went out yesterday from Dunkirk, headed west towards Van Buren Point. Caught 4 -3 keepers in 68-72 fow.
They were hitting red worm harnesses. That was before rain came, tried in the rain - nothing!

The fishing really sucks. Or I suck at fishing. Maybe both are true. I finally got out for a couple hours Sunday evening out of Dunkirk. 3 hours without a single bite. It has to get better, right?

Bottom Bouncer it's not you, there is a lot of that going on. I trolled the inner harbor yesterday. There were about 25 other boats doing the same. The screen was loaded, nice marks, but nothing was hitting. I didn't see a net to come out on any other boat either. I did have a few hits. But got nothing.

Bottom Bouncer. It may be us?? Picked up 4 today along the line. Not bad, better than we've doing BUT not as good as some. You know who you are - congrats to you.

This year four is pretty good Joe. I was planning on heading to Barcelona in the morning, but may rethink that if they are biting here. Glad you caught some, hopefully it gets better from here.
