    I think the reports section could be made better by organizing it by location. For example when I started a topic this spring I gave it the title of small boat harbor, 2018. Others began placing tjier reports on there, and it made it much easier for folks who are wanting information on SBH fishing. Other reports titles could be made for sturgeon point 2018, Catt Creek 2018, etc.

  12. Buffalo Small Boat Harbor- 2018 Reports

    Taking my brother in law and 12 year old nephew out on Sunday (for the fist time walleye fishing).  Any suggestions as to where to go/ launch, colors and depth would be greatly appreciated.

    I suggest launching at SBH, gong out to 35 to 40 FOW, and trolling west towards sturgeon point. When you catch a Walleye save the waypoints. After a while you will have a number of waypoints you can keep trolling over, and should be able to catch more. If you catch nothing, circle out to 55 to 60 FOW. This will be my Saturday. I will post results when we come in. We have had most luck on 5 color lead cores. Also a slide diver with long lead, 30 feet behind the diver. our best lure by far has been a perch colored jointed rapala. We have also caught well on a eye-fish harness in watermelon color, and some on spoons. If you have downriggers, the best way to get a bite is to jerk the rod, breaking the line from the release, and let the spoon flutter up to the surface. This is very effective when you find a concentration of walleyes. They can't resist it. When they are scattered, not as effective, since you are not likely to have a Walleye nearby when you decide to flutter; hit and miss. Hope this helps.

  13. Sturgeon Point 2018

    Fished Sunday 7/8 6am-noon. Straight out to 45ft and headed east. Boxed 15, (2) were 8lbs 28in.  Couple of shorts thrown back and lost a couple. Best depth 42-45ft.  Smelt colored harnesses were best on 6&7 cores and downriggers near bottom. Orange harness got the biggest fish on 6 core.
    Thanks, we didn't get there early enough, and sounds like we were a little too deep. Still had decent day, but next time I will start at 40 FOW and work out if necessary.

    Don't feel bad, we got to sp at 5:00 am,launched the boat and headed out and something didn't feel right,it seemed like there was more room on the boat than normal. Turned out my son assumed I brought the tackle box and I thought he did! Turned around and went home 
     
    That's why I keep everything in the boat always. Only thing I load in morning is ice!

    I was one of the guys there. I arrived at 5:00 expecting the worse but no problems.  In fact, I think there were less boats there than last Friday.  There are plenty of fish, but nothing of any size.  I hope the western basin fish migration gets closer for me to get offshore soon. 
    I guess it's still early. From the catt Creek last year in September it was loaded with Walleye. Seems this year so far is hit and Miss.
