how is fishing in buffalo

[captainjoe]

The water temp is up to 37 deg. And 61 days until May 15th when the marinas officially open. Who's counting?

I am ready i know that. Think sunday should be the shake down run on lake o . 75 degrees is forecast kinda hard to not take advantage of march weather like that especially if its a southern wind .

FYI, perch are being caught out of Sturg.pt. Today a friend got 130 in 57 fow. & two days ago they got 100 over 53 fow. & were done by 11:30 am. All caught right out in front of the pt. I will be there tomorrow am. !!

First time out this year and it sure was nice to be fishing again. Parking lot was full of trailers. Sturgeon had 2 docks (3 lanes) in and my 19 ft IO had no problem getting in/out with the sand. Very foggy today, even with bright sunshine, would have been pretty screwed without gps to get home. We stopped at the convention about 1 mile out around 8:30am and I counted 20 boats out there even with fog, nobody catching much fish and we caught 1 perch and 1 smallmouth, then moved further out to a spot where 1 other boat was I've tried before and caught about 25 perch, quit before noon. Not great but still good. (we started that spot about 9:30am) Rumor is that sturgeon will be closed soon for dredging. Water temp was 37 degrees. That bass I pulled up from 55 ft was as pale as some inner cave fish, really weird and eyes bulging out from pressure. It floated quite a while before reviving enough to swim down.
Unbelievable march day of fishing nice weather, calm seas awesome!

So I noticed people netting minnows by the docks, anyone know how long that goes? Also are they there right at dawn?

The lake hit 40° today. We went on a shakedown run yesterday in my buddies starcraft. The lake was dead calm. We launched at small boat harbor and ran out towards seneca shoal, there were about 40 boats out there perch fishing. It felt like late june out there.
