how is fishing in buffalo

[wnyguy]

Well a not so bad spot is out the south gap, work your way out that way by the wind mills so to speak. There is a marine forecast you can access on line as well as a weather buoy for lake conditions that I like to use.

Anyone Muskie fishing in the river?

[captainjoe]

No. But where would you launch? I went by the Ontario St. launch and it was full of seaweed. There is construction going on in the area also along the road next to the river. I don't think you could launch a boat without clearing off the ramp. ????

Would have to clear Ontario ramp off. Is foot of Sheridan launch closed?

[lineman49]

could check out/try the launch at the foot of sheridan dr. near the power plant for river access. Also the SBH leaves a ramp open til the end of Nov. near Dougs dive.

If its not blowin sbh isn't a bad run for the river. I'd pretty much fish from the RR bridge and around strawberry. Anyone fish for Muskie? I've never landed one only hooked into a couple bass fishing. 8lb test, no steel and a 4ft toothy fish doesn't ever work out.

I even remember a YouTube video of people drifting squaw island and catching steelhead on 3ways and sacs that's always a good fall fishing idea

I didn't go to the foot of Sheridan. Isn't that a Tonawanda launch site? You have to be a resident? Ths launch at the foot of Ontario use to be good. In the past I've seen many cars / trucks in the parking lot. But not last Sunday. I was always concerned how safe your vehicle and trailer are there with no security. ??
