how is fishing in buffalo

Thanks for the info. Fishon51.
Alaskan Joe - Sturgeon Pt. also has a listing of opening up on 5/15. Although last year they postponed it for a while. I believe it was due to them dredging the harbor. Who knows this year.?? I believe that Erie Basin Marina opens 5/1. That's the first one that I know of. There is also one public launch at the foot of Ontario St. in Buffalo. It's on the Niagra River - that's open all year as far as I know. It's unattended and that the only downside. It's close to Strawberry Island (musky) and the channel (perch)

Sturgeon dredges every year. We used to be able to launch while they were dredging but some a$$hole didnt lift their motor and hit the suction hose and cut it in half. So no more launching while dredging.

the sbh doesnt open tiil 5/15 but i launch out of there at the end of april before also i left there to walleye fish in first part of may when they put the ramps guys start launching and nobody says anything i never got a ticketeither

I just heard from a reliable source that the harbor has more sand in it this year because of the lack of ice on the lake. They are contracting the dredging out. They have to get heavy artillery to clean it out.

Just looked at lakevision.com wow pretty wild to see erie kickin up. I wouldnt want to get caught out there when a big blow kicks up. Man this weather is wild cant believe what mid south is dealing with. Kinda glad to live where we do .

I went by the launch at Hamburg Beach the other day (this is for residents only) and you would not believe the sand that has blown in by their launch area. Where the poles are for the floating docks the sand bar is WAY past where they end. I have never seen it like that before. I went by Sturgeon Pt. Marina also - the surf was up. I couldn't see the sand in the harbor because there were white caps in the harbor.

I found another good idea and if i can find link to show it with better info i will. It sounds good to me. All you do is replace spinner blades with small spoons on harnesses. Its supposed to add a wobble with the spin plus trigger better fish to hit. Ill be trying it in spring for sure. If any of you find info on this please share your link to it..

Hi Fishkiller:
I am hoping to pick up a couple of shark torpedos at the WNY show in Hamburg. Will Cuda have a booth? Also, do you happen to know anything about the schedule? I have not found anything online.
Thanks,
Joe
