  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

    Not sure what they cost at captain bobs Because I make my own but I try to buy what I can from him instead of the big chain stores. I like my money staying local.  And his prices are usually the same if not cheaper. 

    10 - 4 on that...I'm the same way.  Let's keep it local boys

    I've had a few break offs on my worm harnesses. Felt like NICE fish. usually breaks the line under the beads and blade! Im thinking it has to be a toothy critter! Yesterday broke 2 copper berkley worm harnesses that way! When walleye hit it aggressively they could get both hooks in there mouth, which i've been  seeing on smaller ones. So whats the solution?

    Try using Challenger worm harnesses,  Captain Bobs sells them. Super high quality,  mine never break 

  4. Go ahead and schedule mid July, that's usually a very productive time all over the lake...

    My Dad is 83 years young, but time is catching up. He has fished for and been obsessed with walleyes his whole life. Gave me the fever too:) Caught almost all his walleyes on Lake Champlain. He's always dreamed of a #10+ walleye, but just can't find too many of those in Vermont. He asked me this weekend if I'd fish Erie with him next year. I said of course, but when I was home this weekend to visit, I can see his mobility is rapidly becoming a challenge. I decided I'd like to make the trip happen next month, as I don't know what a year will bring in terms of his health. 
     
    So, looking to work out of the Buffalo/Dunkirk area. Is this a good plan mid to late July? Is a 10 pound plus fish possible in this area this time of year? Any particular area better than other for Erie rookies to work? Checking a few recent reports, fishing looks pretty good already. We've got a 24 foot Crestliner with 4 riggers, planer boards, flatline options (we've never run lead cores). Most of our experience is running stick baits and spinner harnesses. 
     
    I plan to read as much as I can here, but need to set up travel arrangements ASAP, so any pointers not only for fish but lodging (full kitchen - hotel, Airbnb, Vrbo, etc. ) would be greatly appreciated!

  5. IMO, walleye can and are extremely nomadic. They are not structured oriented. If you think about the size of the lake and the sheer vastness of the water column, sure they have to be somewhere. But that somewhere is everywhere

    THIS IS THE EARLIEST FOR ME TOO USUALLY START AFTER THE 4TH MYSELF.  DOES THE STWD ALWAYS THE SAME DATES? YOU THINK THEY WOULD PICK DATES WHEN THE BITE IS NORMALLY ON. I KNOW THE POOR WALLEYE FISHING HAS TO SOMETHING TO DO WITH THAT BIG COLD FRONT BUT THEY GOT TO BE SOMEWHERE FEEDING ON SOMETHING BY NOW YOU'D THINK. THAT'S FISHN.
