how is fishing in buffalo

[ShortHanded]

Nice day on the water. A lot of boats out there today. Boxed 4 lost 3 and something really big that my buddy saw jump out of the water but I didn't see it. All on harnesses. 62 fow. Nuc green, Nuc raspberry, and rainbow were the producers. Had a lot of short strike misses. Also none of the fish popped the dipsys or riggers. Even the 7lb just nipped the last hook and went along for the swim. And I had all my releases set light. I should have tied stingers to the wh and not ran everything with snubbers but oh well. Wish I could have saw what the big fish was. It popped the dipsy at 53ft went straight up and threw the harness at the surface. Brown trout maybe? Friend said it was way to big to be a bass and said it was carp sized. Dipsys ran 150ft back. Riggers ran 58ft down 130 back

Heard someone on the radio near us say they caught a 26" sheepshead - maybe? Water was pretty warm for steel head.

I would say steelie also. I never had a sheepshead jump, but I have had a few walleyes jump over the years mostly in cold waters. I'll be out there sunday out of sbh till around noon or so. Call on 68. Good luck everyone.

I'm leaning towards steelie myself. I've never had a sheepshead jump either.
But up at my grandparents cottage in the 1000 islands Jigging for eyes I caught a 33 inch sheepshead. 40 min fight, and never knew what it was until the end. Never saw one that big before. Everyone stopped fishing and drove over to watch. We figured it was around 20lbs. People took a bunch of pictures. Lol.
Isn't the thermocline setting up at around 60fow?
