how is fishing in buffalo

[walleyerick]

No fish - nothing (last Thurs) after trolling 3 hrs from departure buoy toward the WSW in 40-45 fow. I didn't expect any and the lake was flat. Used worm harnesses of course but not even a sheephead !

Maybe shallower water ?

Is anyone out there now? LOL The weather buoy says 11.5 footers. Yikes - that means the waves are 23 foot......

Guess that should add some action to a vertical perch jigging presentation, i bet you wouldn't even have to set the hook today lol

Yeah if you have one of those navy anchors. Lol. That or the boat would be anchored on the bottom itself.

So what are the chances after such an epic eastern basin yr of fishing that next yr will at least compare of not beat this season?

I personally think it'll be another banner yr next season. Have to look back at what dec says was a good hatch. But with cleanup of spawn sites and such. I can only see fry hatch and survival to increase. Just. Think what all those 18-22 inchers are gonna be next yr. from the size of fish caught this yr. I think a new state record is coming shortly. Wish I had a scale that day we got that monster. Would have loved to seen the actual fresh live weight of that fish. I bet she was over 16lb before she spawned. Conecious has dec recorded 18lb eyes caught during electro netting. Lots of 15lbers too. So you know for fact that there is some crazy record breakers in there
