how is fishing in buffalo

[wnyguy]

Hey at least you guys are out there, my outdrive is sitting in my garage right now about to be broken down to replace water pump etc. It's been a weird year for walleye fishing not many people are catching them it seems from the people I see.

Wnyguy, shouldn't really have to pull outdrive off to replace just the waterpump/impeller, just remove lower part of it. That is at least on a merc.or yamaha I know.

Lineman you are right however I wanted to pull the drive because just replacing my impeller/pump case is a best case scenario. I also wanted to check things over in case anything else was bad (ie back flush all seawater passages), and I'm overdue for engine alignment check so it was a good excuse. I have a merc 170 with an alpha drive, I'm a member of the "470" club...

Today winds WSW @ 16 mph => waves at 3.2' trough to crest (on average).
Biggest waves are when winds are fro W or SW. The other day I was out in 5 foot waves and now my boat leaks like a sieve. Constant sponge work. Any breaks in the wind coming up ?

Saturday morning, out of smb we boated 5 loss 3 at the back of the boat 2 of them were about 8-10lbs and another about 4lbs. Last night picked up 1 eye, waves prevented me from getting out planer boards out. Weather for Friday looks good.
