how is fishing in buffalo

[bailey]

Hey Anchor Wheel, guess what it's windy and the funny thing is Barry said it would be like this LOL

you guys are too much! I'll find some and give it a try... I need the help! Heard a few reports that the day bite is starting up. Looking forward to getting out this weekend. Anybody fish off center road yet?

We got 8 on Friday in 4 hours off Smokes Creek. All on harnesses. In line weights and bouncers. 1.5 mph in 35 FOW. Largest was 5 pounds. I pulled a goby finish stickbait all morning without a strike. My theory is to get away from the pack of boats. Using my electric trolling motor. Are all those boats and kickers making fish skitish? Same thing on Sunday (10). Most fish came when we were well away from other boats. This is something I have not seen discussed here.

You're on the money in my opinion. One of the reasons I seldom go up to Buffalo on a weekend.. unless they are deep and a really hot bite. I've never had any luck on a goby imitation for walleye... but I'm not as experienced as most on this site either. In the absence of a hot tip I almost always run silver/black/white or purple/black renoskys as a staple and adjust from there.
