how is fishing in buffalo

[Nauti Lupa]

I feel your pain. With the anticipation of a finally flat lake I couldn't even find a willing trolling crew. Switch of gears and head out to drown bait out of SBH. Launch was no problem at 7am. Hit the intake with crawdads and leeches and played with smallies and sheepshead all morning. Then came time for the retrieve.

Yikes! What a fiasco. Cars lined from the launches back to Fuhrmann. Two young girls trying to direct the action with little luck. One guy pulling his boat up the ramp, tires smoking, only to realize he had his outdrive fully down. And of course the usual people that can't back up a trailer. The people waiting to launch were all pissed,as it was starting to get hot and their day on the water was slipping away. One woman was walking around complaining to anyone that would listen. She almost got backed over twice til someone, I won't say his name but it may have been me, told her to get the hell off the ramp apron. Was thinking of going back to sit on the rocks with a beer to watch the show but had other commitments.

Avoid those ramps on a nice weekend day at noon it's worse than you have heard or imagined. And that says nothing of the barely navigable driveway with all the turns and high curbs just to get in off the street.

What a nice day on the pond. Went out of SP west / north /west about 8 miles. Started fishing around 7:30 am. What has been a very disappointing year turned into one of the best days ever. We had constant action from when we put out first line in until 10:30 am with our 2 man limit. We also had several throwbacks. This was the fastest limit that I ever had. The fish weren't large but there were plenty. We also got perch, several silver bass and some large shad. All worm harnesses, dipsey's and lead core worked.

Yup they were on today. Got 8, all keepers. Went west out of S.P.. Trolled west in 70+ FOW. Marked tons of fish. Also kept 5 nice perch. Ran out of crawlers and got 2 on Gulp worm. Talked to others at the marina and they had 10 + 12 each.

Went out of Dunkirk Monday and managed 6 keepers in 100 foot of water on worm harnesses. What Eclipse?

I'm head to sp on sat. where is a good starting point go west, straight out, depth any advice would be appreciated
thx jeff

I will be too. Best guess right now based on what I saw last weekend and reports since then is to go west a few miles and start looking anywhere from 65 to 85 fow. Assuming of course they haven't moved again. If the screen is blank, just keep going further West and deeper if you don't find them. At least that's what has worked for me. I haven't found any giant schools like were there last year, just smaller ones spread around during the few times I have been out. Seems like others on here have had better luck at times, though. Anyone else?
