how is fishing in buffalo

[walleyerick]

Did you know that perch are much healthier for you to eat than walleye (out of erie) ?

This may be true wnyguy, but unfortunately I have not been catching enough walleye lately to worry about the health risks. My recipe :

Scale 'em, filet 'em, egg 'em, bread 'em - deep fry in 375 degree oil. When done, eat 'em. This is absolutely the best tasting fish there is on the planet. Now all I got to do is catch 'em.

Thanks for the warning though.

Sorry Rick I disagree I would rather eat perch.

[walleyerick]

Perch are sweeter than walleye and I eat them but when trolling for eyes I only catch a few and so I throw em back. I really don't know how to fish for perch.

Yeah I hear you on that one ! Honestly I'd rather get out and do more walleye fishing, this year I want to launch out of dunkirk just to try that area out. With 2 younger kids at home though I would rather keep them interested in fishing so perch and bass is what we usually go after, and short trips as well. They won't be young forever though!

Rick, forget the scaleing part, filet them, skin them ,then trim off all the dark colored meat & the blood line. Then you got some good eating ! For the perch find the crowd,drop anchor, use a crappie rig spreader with minnows & catch perch,then perpare them the same as above, more good eats!!

I may go out tomarrow also. From what I am hearing & seeing on this site it looks as if the farther west you go the better the fishing. I saw center rd. & purina towers on here. jmo. I haven't been out for awhile. Good Luck!

Everyone's been deeper 60-70 ft. I read on the dec site that dull colors were out fishing bright colors. On the other hand my buddy went out saturday evening after the rain. And kept trolling through the center gap at the breakwall and caught 6 eyes. And he's not a huge walleye fisherman. And the sob through them all back cause he didn't feel like cleaning them. Told him all he had to do was drop them off at my house. I'm contemplating going to Dunkirk this weekend. But we'll see

The answer is that whenever the lake allows you to go out, go for the walleye, b/c they are always (almost always) in deeper water than bass. When the lake kicks up, come in closer to shore and fish for bass. This is a wierd year with the hot March, it seems like the fishing is different than the usual years where the eyes are shallow in May/June and go deep in later summer. This year who knows ?
