how is fishing in buffalo

Anytime that you can get out is good. There are several locations that you can get to from Sturgeon Pt. Some of them are 7 - 10 miles north west. If it's rough it would be hard to get to them. Saturday was probably the better day to get out but you gotta go when you can. Hopefully there will be some better days coming so you can get out. Good luck.

my 2 uncles went out yesterday (11-8) out of sturgeon for perch they fished 55ft of water 3/4 miles west of the hole 6:30am to 3:00pm 99 keepers 1 shy of the limit.

That's a great day of fishing! Fishkiller, did you put your boats to sleep for the winter? What are you calling "the hole"?

Yes Joe the boats were put away on the 24 of October the "hole" is the 55 foot hole out to the left of Sturgeon Pt where everyone usually fishes for perch. I dont have the waypoint numbers as all my electronics are disconnected and in a box in my fishing closet, so you will have to wait till spring if you want them....lol

Yes that 55foot hole is where we ended up as our last spot and catching fish, when I got back in the evening I started looking at my charts closer and checking out depths etc. I appreciate everyones comments and helpful tips. Personally I like to get away from the crowds, but with it being late in the year it might be safer to be around some other boats.

Are people marking perch on their fish finders? I can't tell yet if the fish are hugging bottom, or I need to adjust my sensitivity. Or when a school of perch is sitting on the botttom the best fish finder is your fishing pole going tap tap tap LOL

Boy those perch are good eating!

I went in the basement and got my HSD 5 out and tried to find a 55 foot hole. I have a set of power cords thst allow me to run it off a 12 V source off a battery / car etc. I could not find a hole of 55 ft? Fishkiller, what graph do you run? I was playing with it and switching between screens and then decided to turn it off. It wouldn't turn off?? I pulled the power cord and it went off. I rebooted it and it went to the same screen - it wouldn't let me do anything?? I said good night to it. Today I started it and it seemed to work OK. I couldn't get a GPS fix but that may have been to my location. Electronics - when they work they work GOOD. When they don't they drive you CRAZY.

Joe I have a lcx 27c, it will not show anywhere on the contour lines any spot that is 55 foot but it is there, its actually a pretty big area. I wil be buying a hd8 or a hd10 for the big boat in the spring.
