I have never had any luck fishing walleye out of Buffalo in winter. Tried a couple times last year. Perch is a different story.

I'll be heading out shortly. Fished the windmills for 2 hours on Wednesday with no luck. Moved behind the breakwall and got 9 in 3 hours, along with a laker.

Well done sir, thanks for sharing

Yes many times. We troll the shallows with sticks out until you can feel them bouncing off the rocks. Then bring them in slightly so they are not getting snagged up. Speed plays a big part, generally anywhere from 2-3mph. You just need to pay attention, on a good night there can be a 100 boats out there in a small area going back and forth. Bright green and orange always work well for us.

Well with everything going on in world, we can look forward to the walleye opener next Saturday. What is everyone's plan if the weather plays nice? Water temp was between 41-42 yesterday outside of buffalo. Big change from last year, dodging ice. For myself I am going to grab some perch during the day and take part in the Hamurg 500 for walleye at night.

Fished out by the windmills 41ft. Bottom bouncing hardness and willows off boards 28ft down 1.3mph. Both produced. Finished with 10 in 3 hours lost a couple. Actually made it through a whole trip with no sheephead. Lake was flat, might head out again tomorrow.

FYI be careful on the launches at the SBH, the launch all the way to the right(lake side) has rocks on it. Looks like someone purposely dropped them in.

We launched out of the catt and went all over looking as well, we got a couple perch but they seemed to shut down as well. We are going to try out of buffalo today, I heard most the ice is cleared out. I will update later.

How did everyone do today? We only got a couple perch. Was really foggy at times today.

I always take this and double the height.

The Port Colborne weather buoy is a pretty good indicator of lake conditions. Not sure how big your boat is but anything over 15 out of the W SW S is going to be pretty sporty.
