how is fishing in buffalo

[bailey]

Lineman49 is half right Kishels is a fish scent and attractant and it does work quite well I'll add . I used it my first time 3 yrs ago and did my own playing around with it like using it on one side of the boat rigged identically to the other and perch fishing I used it on the boat when no one else did and caught perch like crazy while the others didn't . I'll admit there are days fish will aggressively strike but when the bite is tough I'll out fish most using the Kishels on my baits . It only takes a little bit I use a couple drops on the bait that's it. I've used it casting with equal results but the fact I'm more into trolling it really works great For me in that application. The people I know who also always fish using the fish scent also tend to have higher catch rates. It just adds that extra edge. Without the broken legs though. LOL.

Hey guys, Need some advice... Tried to help a neighbor kid and paid him to wash up the boat this spring. Unfortunately I guess I wasn't "clear" enough on my instructions. He took a scotch brite pad and scrubbed the hull, cutting into the gel coat. The luster is blotchy and I'm worried we've done some damage. Is there a product you guys are aware of that I could apply to the hull to restore the situation or am I looking at a new paint job?

Also, going out perching tomorrow and will post how I do.

3M makes a really good product for restoring shin to the gel coat, West Marine has it. Can't remember the exact name. Restore? Anyway mine was really chalked bought a GOOD buffer and some GOOD pads and lots of elbow--- looks like new than some good wax. Not sure how it does on scratches. I'd go to west marine and see, they have about anything you need, but it's lots of rubbing.

Hey Anchor Wheel, guess what it's windy and the funny thing is Barry said it would be like this LOL

you guys are too much! I'll find some and give it a try... I need the help! Heard a few reports that the day bite is starting up. Looking forward to getting out this weekend. Anybody fish off center road yet?

We got 8 on Friday in 4 hours off Smokes Creek. All on harnesses. In line weights and bouncers. 1.5 mph in 35 FOW. Largest was 5 pounds. I pulled a goby finish stickbait all morning without a strike. My theory is to get away from the pack of boats. Using my electric trolling motor. Are all those boats and kickers making fish skitish? Same thing on Sunday (10). Most fish came when we were well away from other boats. This is something I have not seen discussed here.

You need a good buffer like auto body guys use that has variable speed and can turn some good revs. Go to a auto paint supplier and get the 3m heavy wool pads (2), not the lite ones. Also while your there buy a pad cleaner, it fluffs and cleans the pad but doesn't ruin it like a screwdriver will. Get some 3m super duty rubbing compound and some finishing compound. Use a different pad for each. Test an area and use a liberal amount of compound at high speed, careful around ridges and corners. If this doesn't take them out totally then carefully wet sand first with 600 or higher and then rub it with both compounds. Wax it last with the buffer and some collinite fleetwax. This should get them out

What Greenhead said, but go easy with the rubbing compound it doesn't take much or you will end up with a worse problem. Maybe better off with a lighter grade of rubbing compound to start, you can always go heaver if need be.

3M fine cut polishing compound. You can get it at Auto Finishers on Transit Rd. in Elma. I use it on cars, boat and motorcycle projects. I brought the finish on my old scow back to life. This might give you some idea. http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...light=stiksave

Guys, thanks for all of the help! Looks like its time to roll up my sleeves!

Went perching today off of the Catt. Fish were biting very lightly for us. We struggled at first but ended up with 40 and several jumbos. Tried spreading out of the pack to find some other schools but they seemed very concentrated in a small area in 52-56 fow. Did see one walleye caught on an emerald shiner. Looking forward to warmer weather and some walleye trolling. You guys are very helpful and if I start hitting fish I'll report in. Have a great night.
