how is fishing in buffalo

[NateD]

Hi everyone, haven't had much to report yet this year as I've only been out twice. We boxed a nice one and lost a couple others at the boat a few weeks back off the windmills. Got out last night and am curious to see how anyone else did closer to Buffalo. Don't know if it was the East wind or what, but other than white perch and sheephead we got blanked on the walleyes.

Tried off the Departure Buoy and marked some bait with a couple nice hooks but then they were gone; tried Seneca Shoals, and even back to the windmills, but nothing. It was strange. Not many other boats out there which should have been a clue, but the ones that were I didn't see having any action either. Lineman it looks like you did well, I probably should have fished deeper out along the fence. Saw a cluster of boats way on the horizon and didn't go out that far, but probably should have...

Anyone else get any closer to the city? I feel like they still should have been there, although perhaps they just weren't... Just looking for any guidance to help me with the learning curve!

went back to the old hole last nite 15 made it to the net. hard to give up this pattern with this kind of numbers for 3 hours of fishing/ the fireworks were prety good last nite

Nate D, if your getting sheephead try picking up your speed a bit,(2 -2.4 sog) might help. Also go where the boats are. Good luck!

Joe, you & my neighbor(14) are still hitting them good, I might have to go with him! My new perch color(from you) has been diong well. Keep it up.

Thanks lineman, my wonderful wife actually said I can head out for another try tonight so I may give it a shot if the conditions are alright. Probably will start around the departure buoy and head west unless anybody else has any suggestions! Just have to avoid the Canadian waters, though.

your right lineman the bite is on/ i think you need more reefrunners like 15 more smaller ones(i still have) if you get a chance to get in that boat make sure he has a sandwitch and a beer for you good luck

[lineman49]

always has the beer!

Yup terrible out there. Tell your friends too. Spread the word, skunks everywhere. Way to many boats out there. Lol. We limited out today. ( thanks bailey "he he"). We ended up with some weight today. Including my friends biggest eye ever. Over 13lbs. Jim I took measurements and a bunch of pics so he can have a replica mount made. That was a slob of a fish. Kishels fish scent made our day today. We got out there this morning and as I was setting up I realized I had forgotten another box in my truck with all my harnesses and shallow sticks in it. So I only had my spoon box and deep diver stick box. We smothered the spoons n sticks with kishels and couldn't have been happier with the results. The stuff really works. Contact fishkiller to get some. . We limited with no meat and only 4 rods out. And we caught weight too.

The leader has 44lbs were at 38.64lbs we ran 50 miles round trip (Dunkirk to buffalo and back) today and we burned merely 52 gallons of fuel.....lol 5,6,7 color core was hot, we even stole 4 on the Riggers Bailey....lol
