  1. 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

    I haven’t been out in a bit historically I’ve done well around the 4th in 60fow west of SP.

  2. 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!

  3. 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.

  4. 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!

  5. 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. IMG_4029.JPG

  6. 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.

    I’m not gonna lie my family is pretty excited for opportunities to catch Outer Harbor Concerts and Downtown fireworks while on the water as well!

  7. Figure it’s a good time to start a new thread for the new year. After spending the previous season at the Catt, prior to that at Sturgeon Point, I’ve brought the boat home to Buffalo. Rising rates and fuel prices helped make the move home an easy call. Politics at Sturgeon continue to be untenable. Looking forward to having the boat close and more easily accessible! If your out and about and don’t mind sharing please post up your reports, I’ll do the same! Hoping to get the old girl out of storage this week and target a trip soon! Tight lines!

  8. Laws of supply and demand!
    Sturgeon Point is no longer a viable option, supply goes down and demand goes up along with cost.
    I'm wondering if demand will hold though, with gas prices going thru the roof.
    Used boat prices are still high also but I'm betting they will go down soon. I want to upgrade but prices are still in covid crazy mode.



    True, I’ve been thinking truck prices will begin dropping as well, but they are still holding strong.

  9. Looks like costs for dry dock at Hidden Harbor have gone up significantly for this season. I moved from Sturgeon to Hidden Harbor, and now looks like I’ll be on the move again. Does anyone have any other affordable dry dock solutions between Buffalo and Silver Creek? I just can’t swing the price increase.

  10. Launched with my kids about 11a. Played around for a bit running a Hannah Montana zebco combo with a snap weight and worm harness, and a Star Wars zebco combo running the same. We stayed shallow 30-50, let the kids drive as we trolled from evangola back towards the Catt. Didn’t move a rod, really wasn’t the point I suppose. Lake was great, a little bumpy working into the wind. Great day for a ride. Brought the boat home for the season, who knows maybe we’ll get out a time or two out of Buffalo before storage for the season. Tight lines and happy hunting!

  11. What's up dudes tomorrow's wind forecast does not look good. I think I'm going to pass the upgraded tonight's wind and waves now it's one- 3 foot waves and they're still saying to foot or less tomorrow but there's no way if the wind is going to be the same all through the night and in the morning it's got to still be one two threes in the morning I think we're passing

    Here is the link for the webcam. I’m going to try tomorrow if the winds die down. It’s doesn’t work well in low light. https://hdontap.com/index.php/video/stream/sunset-bay-lake-erie-coast-irving-new-york

  12. Any recommendations for boat insurance? I’ve had progressive the last several years. I’m looking to add additional coverages and figured I’d see what you all recommend.

     

    I want to cover the boat and gear with liability of course. I do not charter but I do tournament fish. Boat stays on the trailer. Seatow included is a bonus!
