If anyone happens to find a TX-44 (may still have 10 colors attached to it) with a lock jaw I lost one yesterday off of Van Buren Point. Also lost a Offshore board (has my name and old phone number on it 716-677-0116). Would be great to get them back. Rough one yesterday :)

Big fish Friday was blown out. We headed out this morning in less than desirable conditions. Hit two fish right away out in 70fow on 8 and 10 colors. We found a nice school around noon in 85FOW SW of Dunkirk Harbor. Picked up several more an nice 6lbr and lost a 10lb at the boat. Hit colors were purple/cooper harnesses and spoons. White harnesses brought our biggest fish. Landed 8+ Walleye and a nice perch. Rough day out there. Had we found those fish in 85 earlier I think we could have worked our way to a six fish box. Woulda, coulda, shoulda always next year. Be safe out there fellas and tight lines.

Haven’t been out but a few times this year. Will be out this weekend fishing the Innovative Outdoors tournament. Should be interesting especially with how little I’ve fished this year. Hope everyone has been hooking up. I’ll post up reports and results.

I haven’t been out since the derby and unfortunately didn’t get out much for that either. It has been very quite this year.

BTW Sturgeon Point is opening July 15 to have another launch option.

Moved some rods today. Landed at 27” but it only weighed 5lbs. Landed 10+ eyes today throwing back several 17’s, also took some smallies, several drum, and some white perch. A good day overall.

In 38 FOW near the round house we did snag something with one of the downriggers. Not sure what it was, I don’t recall seeing anything on the graph but……. It’s there and it’s not moving! We were able to clear it by driving back over it in the opposite direction. Did not expect that at all.

Did most of our work in 40FOW, downriggers, lead cores and long lines all tool fish. Lots of boats, sounds like some really good fish were weighed today. For the brief moments we flirted with the pack everyone seemed to be getting along.

Around 4:30p we were at the weigh station and some joker came barreling through with a rear flat on a Ford Raptor. Shortly after a fella in a Black Grand Cherokee came through looking for the Raptor. Not sure what the story was, anyone else see it or have any insight?

Good luck to everyone fishing the derby! We’ll be trailering this year. Due to proximity and Sturgeon being closed we will likely be out of Buffalo most of the season. Hoping to get back to Sturgeon next year! I will post up my reports here and if anyone is interested in sharing please do the same. Tight lines!!

Headed out of Buffalo the AM and went to the line (52FOW), trolled for a few hours only moving rods on drum (one was a monster). Packed up and moved to 65 FOW off of sturgeon. Screen looked good for fish tight on the bottom. Managed 3 on a variety of sticks and harnesses with a few more drum mixed in. Definitely seems as though the place to be is SP, Catt, or Dunkirk.

Hey everyone,  I  have some company coming in for the holiday,  hoping to get out Sunday evening West of Buffalo near Sturgeon...due to circumstances this is my first trip out,  any advice on the area would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks

Gave it a go today with my kids. We made one pass inside the break wall dragging some sticks and then swung down to the round house and trolled with the wind for a bit. Caught one smallie. First year in a while we haven’t boated a weigher for the derby. Still figuring it out fishing out of Buffalo. Most importantly a great time was had. Happy Fathers Day!

Had Another go this afternoon. Boated one immediately as we were setting lines in 40fow. Moved around had a good screen in 50fow but couldn’t move a rod. 4hrs on the water. Beautiful night.

We’ve had some interesting times so far this season for one reason or another. Boat has been unnamed but she may become “The Clown Show” if I can’t pull it together!

Tight lines all. Forecast doesn’t look to promising for tomorrrow or Friday.

We ended up finding a couple in 35-45 FOW but the struggle was real.

Out since 6ish. Started near the round house took some monster sheepshead. The search continues for the elusive Lake Erie walleyes.


Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United

Fished this evening 6-10p. We managed 4 walleye on a variety of sticks and harnesses in 35-40FOW. Likely could have turned on them and made limits but we were searching for size.

Hey All It’s likely to get quiet in here for the next ten days as the Southtowns derby has started. I’m hopefully to get out tomorrow evening, during the week and with my kids for Father’s Day. Good luck everyone. Feel free to post up pics, no judgement if you don’t want to share the details! Stay safe and tight lines!

It was a beautiful night on the water. We fished 8p-12a in front of the windmills in 15-20 fow. Tried 1.5-2.2 running sticks took several smallies but no walleye. It was one of the calmest most peaceful times I’ve had on the water. Lots of boats out there seemed like most people were minding their manors. Saw these guys wading in front of smokes creek and fly fishing. Pretty cool idea. Have a great Memorial Day and take a moment to remember what’s it’s all about.

Anybody get perch out of buffalo this time of year?

Nearby Buffalo waters are productive till the lakes water temperature rises above 72 degrees F.  After the Fourth of July the best fishing is west of Sturgeon Point and farther to Silver Creek. Deep waters between Sturgeon Point and Point Abino are easily reached faster in your boat than by automobile. unless you are a bass contest angler Then near shore waters are good almost all year.

Good Luck JF! Hope you have a successful and safe season on the water.......
