Just curious...since the eye's are not cooperating, has anyone been perch fishing.

Nope. Still focused on walleye.
Long time reader 1st time poster.
Ready to transition to some fall ring backs. And finally upgraded to a boat that can handle Erie. My launches tho have been mainly Erie and Niagara County thus far.
I’m reading that Sturgeon is a risky launch, sand bar and such. So I’ve never launched at Sunset Bay Launch on Catt Creek. Is that recommend and/or anything I should know about it before I make the drive?
Oh yeah, and the grid cords to that 55ft secret hole I hear folks talking about haha.
Appreciate any input.
Tight lines
i wouldn’t launch at sp i would launch at the dec at the catt could also find some small schools around buffalo straight out of the south gap near the line (bass fishing been good)

Thanks for the info Jeff. Yeah, I hear you, transitioned to the smallmouths once the walleye fishing hit a standstill our way. Ready to move on to the jumbos and some fall walleye. And then perhaps we'll have a real winter here this year for some good hard water action.
Did have a buddy tell me tho that there were a few boats out the other night in front of the windmills... Not many, but interesting nonetheless.

i was wondering if anyone was fishing at night

Do resident walleyes come back shallow around Smokes Creek or Woodlawn Bar in the fall? Anybody know?Quote:

I use to be at the Small Boat Harbor back in 1987 but I was into boating more then fishing. Milt you should know the eastern end of the lake pretty good.
i would try bottom bouncing around the shipping lane for walleye also for perch out by the line straight out of the south gap

My friend and I trolled sticks around Smokes (20+ years ago) at night 3 or 4 times in October. We never got a touch. The lake has changed some in that time. I was hoping somebody had better results lately.

Capt joe I sent you a pm
Jeff
I got it Jeff. Sent you one back.
Heading out in a couple days for some jumbo and walleye action. Looks like Jerome Miller’s Bait Store is the closest to where I’m launching. Never been there and there’s very limited info online.
Just want a couple dips of minnows. Is this place recommended or should I venture elsewhere?
