Reel Crazy

Any thing been going on out of buffalo with waters cooling off will the fish move back that way? Any help would be awesome 

Sat 8/15,
12:30 -7:30pm skirted the Border 60-65 fow. The screen was loaded with fish all day, mostly stacked on the bottom. 78F on surface 76F at 60ft. 4 decent walleye, and several throw backs, 6 keeper perch, 10lb catfish and a lot of sheephead. Tried everything, harnesses, stickbaits, spoons and different speeds but the fish had "Lock Jaw". Must be the warm water even at 60ft. The area is loaded with fish and normally with a screen like we saw yesterday we would have boxed out quick. Hopefully all those fish will start biting when the water cools down.
Harnesses on downriggers dragging bottom & 7 colors caught most fish, only 1 on a stickbait.

8/12, 12p-4p - Launched at SBH and fished along international line near sturgeon point - 60-65 FOW. Caught nine walleye - 18”- 22”, to include one 26”. Never, ever marked more fish. Also caught one perch, one smallmouth bass, and one huge silver bass. Trolled at 1.5 mph - Used 7-color leadcore off back of boat and dispeys set at 3, out 130 ish off the side. One was caught on a goby bayrat, all others on worm harnesses - purple and pink. Please share your catch and tactics - Plenty of fish out there for all.

7/21 - Caught five along the international line straight out from windmills in 60-65 FOW. Two with worm harness/Dipsy set on 2-130ish on line counter (gold blades) and three on stickbaits/lead core off back of boat-seven colors (perch jointed rapala and goby Bayrat).

This forum used to be a great resource but it has gone downhill. Statistics indicate there are plenty of fish out there for all so lets work together and share information.

Is it me or is the walleye bite at the windmills near Woodlawn Beach slow this year? I was out today 7am-11am and fished straight out from windmills in 50-60 fow. Ended up with four, one being 6 1/2 lbs, the others were keepers but smaller. Caught two on stick-baits, and two on worm harnesses. Tried fishing different depths but caught all about 30' below the surface. Hope this helps somebody. If anybody knows of any tactics that are working, please share.

Bottom bouncers in the 2 -2 1/2 ounce range while trolling 1.3-1.5 mph has been doing okay for me and a buddy. Mono worm harnesses.

I bought the lifetime app last year and if I had to do it over again I’d only buy bits of information that apply to me. As mentioned in a previous post, only certain lines are addressed and in many cases speed is not considered.

Hope all are well ... Heading out for the first time this year Friday morning. Looking for walleye near the windmills or in the river. Can anybody help me with any recent hotspots and/or tactics that have been successful?
