how is fishing in buffalo

[captainjoe]

I was informed the other day that if you are 62 or over you can launch at he Small Boat Harbor for free during the week. Does anyone have any input on this?

I know that this opens up a few " Old Guy Comments " from the young grasshopper group. But I can take it.

Fished yesterday evening on my cousins boat. We drifted 42fow from Seneca shoal. Bottom bounced harnesses on 3 way rig. One nice perch, one big shithead, and a bunch of silver bass. No eyes. Didn't see anyone hooking up either. Switched to shallow rapalas and trolled from mid gap to north gap. Then did donnleys wall run. Picked up 1 16" eye. Slow day on the water.

I went out Saturday from SBH @ 7am-2pm, and started trolling between Seneca and the line. Went almost all the way down to Meyers following the line. I was trolling around 0.8-1.5 MPH with 3 oz bottom bouncers with harnesses in 40-45 FOW. I only picked up a small perch and a small silver bass. I was running out about 120'-150' of line. No eyes what so ever. I don't think I was able to keep the bait on the bottom. I also tried a 40' jet for about 45 minutes, and got nothing on that either.

Any other pointers, I saw almost every other boat pulling them in around me.

My suggestion - try a little faster 1.8, 1.9, 2.0
Think about the current. You may be going with it or against it. ???

This is true for ANY state launch &/or state park in NY. good at the Catt. also & any of the finger lakes state parks/launches. during the week not wk. ends or holidays. Getting old has some perks!

Is the current generally towards the river? SW to NE?
I'm not sure what my issue was, I fished the exact same way I did last year.
