how is fishing in buffalo

[captainjoe]

you guys trolling or drifting?

Trolling. At least we were.

4 fish today trolling. But we ended up with 5 in the box. How, you may ask??
Thanks to Fishon51 (Barry) he must have felt bad for us losing the one on the stringer yesterday. Thanks Barry. I won't tell Fishkiller or Bailey that you donated to the cause. Today we were trolling, rocking, rolling, trolling, up, down, sideways, forward, and every other way possible. What a ride.
Any time you get out is great. Oh yeah we got them all off worm harnesses.
Milt - ps another victory yesterday 14- 4 our record is 6-1. It was a chore after being on the lake all day and pitching 7 innings. But still it was fun.

[captainjoe]

Yes Sir.

For anyone that was out yesterday and experienced the conditions - I checked the Weather Buoy Readings for yesterday at 1:00 pm that said 1.6 ft wave height. If that was 1. 6 footers I wouldn't even experience 2.0 footers. I know that you have to double what they say for a crest to through reading but what the heck. I had to troll into them with my big engine. I was sitting in the passenger seat facing the stern and when we went down and up I was sliding off my seat. I think they were bigger than 3.2 footers.::
What do you think?

The last few times out my Lowrance HDS5 Lake Insight was acting up. It wouldn't shut off. The next day I had to restart it several times to get it working. Saturday I tried restarting it 20 times and it wouldn't start. It would freeze up, start restarting, etc. anyways no go. I talked to Lowrance a few times during the week and they said I had an internal problem and offered an upgrade $$$$. Here we go. More money. My unit is four years old. Nothing lasts anymore. I used my Moore Sub Troll to get my speed on Sat. At least I have an option to go back on. I'll be calling Lowrance tomorrow to set something up. Oh boy.!!

Did you try to do hard reset & reboot it ? If you call lowrance ask if you can try that. Also try disconnecting the power for a .5 hr or so & then try a hard restart. Listen to me,(lol) I sound like an expert at this, & thats only because I had to go thru 4 elite 7's to find a good one so far. knock on wood!

Joe try this first do the hard reset find your unit on the list and try it it may work.

I went out on Saturday 3pm-11pm, behind the windmills, caught 6, 3 sheep head, 2 12" perch, and a damn gobi which really doesn't count!
No walleyes.
Ate the perch last night, they were delicious.

I also lost my first rig this weekend! A little discouraging.
I see people talking about the Seneca shoal, I know where it is but how far is that from NFTA harbor? I only have a 16 gallon tank, I don't want to get stranded, and the trolling motor would take hours to get back.

Does anyone know where I can get Navonics or Lake Master for a good price.
My 597 HD/DI combo has no contours.
I guess $600 doesn't deserve one of the most important features.

Thanks
