how is fishing in buffalo

[captainjoe]

I am a beginner at trolling for walleye and need a little practical advise on rod positioning. I have 2 poles with 10 colors of 18# lead core with 50 yards of braid backing and 30ft of 12# fluorocarbon leader, AND 2 line counter poles with a 100 yards of 20# powerpro braid and mono backing that I intend to use jet divers (size 20 and 30).

How should I position my rods (I have 2 rod holders in the back and 2 on the side recessed in the gunnel)?

Very nice interesting boat. I could make a few suggestions. But here is my advice. Go to the Traxstech website. They have several pictures there that may interest you. Actually you can call Jeff at Traxstech he is very knowledgeable and will set you in the correct direction. I have spoken to him and Melody in the past. He has put me in the right direction. I have purchased there before. Maybe Fishkiller will have some input. He is is a local rep for them. Look for previous posts from Fishkiller for his phone number he can help you out also. And he has been known to catch a few walleye too. If you call Jeff at Traxstech tell him captainjoe & Fishkiller recommended him. You might then get a click - . Not really.

Sorry for the late post. We lost last Monday - a hart breaker. BUT today was another life. We won . Now we are in the playoffs.
I wanted to devote more time for fishing.
But I like to win & challenges.

Well Capt Joe, I don't feel so bad then. 7 hours of trolling and only 3 white bass to show for our efforts today. Fished NW of Dunkirk in 80 to 100 fow deep , shallow, and inbetween. Nothing seemed to intice them. Marked more fish NE of the stacks in the afternoon, but still no takers. Humbling!
