how is fishing in buffalo

[captainjoe]

It was a sad day for captainjoe on Monday. I took the boat from Sturgeon Pt. To Olson's in Derby. Had to take it out of comission for the winter. But on a brighter note I dropped it off and traded it in for another. I bit the bullet and spurred the economy. Now I'll have to work for another 25 years.

Well Joe dont keep us in suspense what did u get?

2012 Striper 2101 Walkaround with a 225 merc outboard. She's going to be white. They are taking my 15 hp merc bigfoot off my boat and putting it on this one. It's a little smaller than the Four Winns, a little lighter and a little faster. It will be easier to trailer and maybe I can get out a little earlier in the spring and keep fishing longer in the fall. It will be geared for fishing not a family pleasure boat converted to fishing. I had the Four Winns for 25 years and she's been a mighty fine vessel. Some guys don't have a wife for that long.

I was at the boat dealer yesterday and asked to take one of modles that he just got in the other day out for a test drive? I told him every boat floats good when it's calm but this would be a good test? He gracefully declined my request. Thankfully.

Anyone make it out this weekend? The paper says they are getting perch. Is a little cool today but calm.

Because I am boatless at this time I took a ride by the lake yesterday. There must have been 20 to 30 boats around Myers Reef and about 15 off Sturgeon Pt. I didn't catch get any reports but I somebody has t be doing something.
