how is fishing in buffalo

[wishin fishin]

Wishin, I think I was near you I was in the grady white boat with the hard top when I picked up & left. Were you in the blk. boat with an orange shirt on ?

lineman that be me, i saw you leave and really began to notice the rollers and whitecaps - so i left to, i was using you as a gague to get deeper beyond seneca.

at the risk of sounding mushy maybe by the end of the season all us forum guys can mtg. at sbh for an informal meet and greet before or after heading out - kinda feel like i know you all - i have never meet a fisherman i didn't like - for pleasure boaters that a different story.n

copo i'm a fan of yours

copo great idea about the net, mine as been suspect for along time - its short like me (didn't take up any space) and is braided - i'm heading to gander this weekend to get a long one with the rubber mesh

Wishin, Jmo. but if you buy a net I suggest instead of the heavier rubber ones get the one with the coated nylon mesh, they are lighter,the hooks don't get caught & the fish won't bounce out as they sometimes do with the heavy rubber nets. I know the older rubber ones had that problem. Just a thought.

Walleyerick, here is another one "Wunderground.com" marine reports you can get near shore & beyond 5mi. reports. Works for Erie & Ontario lakes both. Just click on the bouy #.

I have been feild testing a new netting by ranger for the last 2 seasons its a flat bottom net thats rubber dipped its hook and tangle free. Its model # 471RRFB its the best net I have used yet. Its the perfect depth on me 25" hoop with a 12' handle.
