Shorthanded,I use to leave the dock on the Niagara River and head out for Muskies in the early 70's.Everyone was tight lipped and would even change lures on their rods before coming to the dock to throw you off.I vowed I would never be that way and help people with real info to make their fishing experience better.For many years I moderated a board with fishinfo.com and gave daily fishing gear reports for 20 years.

Walleye Wizard,The eyes we have been catching at Chautauqua Lake have been 4 to 8 lbs,with bigger shoulders then Lake Erie.
Depends on wind direction on dealing with floating cut weeds,West or SW is best,North or Northeast is the worst for North Basin.I might end up back there Thursday & Friday if Erie is rolling over 3 ft.

Yes you are correct the bottom of deep holes have thermicline and not much oxygen,but most of the bigger walleyes suspend out 20 to 25 ft down over 32 to 36 ft of water in July August & September. It has been this way since I started guiding there in 1975.

jimski2,Doesn't matter if I'm fishing Muskies or Walleye ,I catch walleye 20 ft down over 32 to 36 ft of water all July,August & September.They are out there because the bait fish are out there suspended in water that is 3 degrees cooler then the surface. 79 degree surface north basin,76 degrees down 20 ft,81 degrees on Mayville Flats.

You could see the bait fish breaking the surface yesterday with the overcast sky in the area of colder surface water.Your right every bluebird day's I'm almost dragging bottom to catch eyes.Also slower at 1.9 when eyes near bottom and 2.2 mph when eyes near surface.

When we caught the 12 eyes yesterday,we marked nothing on the screen.Everything was moving away from the boat up high in top 25 ft.That is why the boards further out produced most of the fish.Found one spot that had 76 degree water and pounced on it,everywhere else was 77 degrees +.
Back out Friday next,will have to search again!

We are now getting toward the time of the year when the wind blows most days,so you have to roll in them if you want fish.

I'm sure the waves are still rolling from last night's winds.But looking out my window in Tonawanda the trees are just as steady as can be,should have gone this morning before the winds go back up.

I fished the north basin 4 times since mid July,a little floating grass but no large pines of weeds.But then again I'm also use to running four lead core lines there for Muskies and cleaning all day.

Late morning Saturday winds will increase to 20 mph SW and waves will go to 2 ft to 4 ft.Depends how big the waves get and how late into Saturday night they roll if Sunday morning will be possible.Seems lately what ever wave hight they forecast you have to double it!

Work the 35 ft water from Bell Tower to Prendergast Point.

Looks like the winds will not be in our favor through the weekend on Lake Erie.Run your Lake Erie walleye program on Chautauqua Lake with 3 colors of Lead Core,dipsey set on #3 at 65 ft and downriggers at 20 ft with 50 ft lead.Brown & Gold crankbaits.You will be surprised the shoulders on the walleye at Chautauqua.
