Cats don't come into the creek mouths until the water temp warms up and then they will start moving to the mouth and up the creeks to spawn. This usually doesn't happen until mid May

Not too mention that they charged 15.00 to launch too...

Anytime..

Restaurant, fuel, smokes.. bait and tackle

There are Indian reservation truckstops no more than 1mile from the launch

Try Googling, Town of Hanover launch...or Hidden Harbor Marina. That puts you right on the creek 

Things are still not changing. Ten months of open lake this year and Sturgeon Point finally opened after walleye season opened. Then it was blocked by a sand bar again. A sixty mile round trip to the Cattaraugus Creek was the nearest lake access from the Southtown areas. But the registration moneys, sales taxes and fuel taxes disappear in the “Black Holes” called Albany, “County Hall” and the entitled.

Your absolutely right... Plus the 15.00 launch fee. You'd think they would at least pay someone to keep it open until at least Sept 30th. I have said it for years, if you want to build a bar or open another jet ski launch then you've got everyone's blessings. But access for sport fishing is a joke. And on a normal summer half the weekends are taken up with runs and bike a thons and access to the water is a real pain... it's a shame, but not surprising for NY...

Good day out of Sturgeon today. Took a 2 man limit bottom bouncing worm harnesses.

A bunch of customers store them in bass plastics file bags.  I use zip locs also after they dry.  As far as them out fishing cowbells, some days they do and some days they do not. I have found when currents are heavy, traps out produce cowbells.

Hey Gambler, nice to see you on this pond ... Lol.

It's the East wind we've had all summer

No they ran awesome...they don't pull near as hard as the cowbells which is nice on the riggers so I don't have to crank them down and then forget when I go back to eyes lol.

Storing them is odd...I ended up "folding" them up and using a rubber band to hold tight

    Heading to Barcelona next week for walleyes but also wanted to try verticle jigging for lakers as we do in the Finger Lakes. Anyone have experience doing this? How deep (fow)would we have to go to be in "laker country" . Also, about many fow is the Canadian boundry straight out from Barcelona. Thanks for any input.

You don't have to worry about the border, you'll hit 100' waayy before Canada

The death traps are what I was using! They took all 12 Lakers I couldn't get a cowbell to fire believe it or not I was stunned

I haven't used them yet, do you have trouble with them tangling when you deploy ? 

I'm stunned to, they've always produced .... Thanks for the heads-up..

I usually go out from Dunkirk to the breaks...112 -113 ft. Right on the bottom, I don't even use my fishawk. I use hammerhead cowbells and gambler rigs, I'm going to try deathtraps this year. Put a cheater on your riggers, you might pick up a steelie or an eye...good luck !!

Good to know fyshon do you think that is just the Dunkirk area?

I really think the only consistent bite your going to find is Barcelona to the state line... If you go out of other ports your bound to find pods of fish or small groups by default, but your going to have to work very hard for them and chances are you won't get any numbers. But as far as the numbers we have enjoyed the last couple years. I really don't think it's happening this year. Hopefully I'm wrong..

I really don't think it's going to get here this year.. there's an east wind about 90% of the time. That's never good for anything around here

Thanks Stillwater, it's at the point that I don't think the big schools going to make it here this year. What a shame. Thanks for the report !!
