Went out yesterday from 6:30am to1pm. Could only manage a sheephead and one perch. Fog was pretty thick in the morning. Very few boats out. It should have told me something. Met a DEC guy back at the launch who measured my one perch and took a fin clip. He told me its been slow for perch lately. Anyway, had perch sandwich for dinner tonight.

This is the response I received from Sunset: We are scheduled to begin the build the first week of April. I’m not sure of your particular usage: If you are looking to reserve a dock space, the season is scheduled to Start May 22 and all reservations, both seasonal and transient, are done online through Reserve America. This link would take you directly to the reservations page: https://newyorkstateparks.reserveamerica.com/marina/sunset-bay-state-marine-park/r/marinaDetails.do?contractCode=NY&parkId=7735 If you are looking for the use of the ramp with the side docks, it will be available as we build. We have put out notices that the ramp is Closed as of April 1 for Mon-Thurs until 3:30 pm each day – open after that time for use each day and all day on Fri-Sat-Sun. The ramp sides are usually the first thing installed as everything else is built off of them. The ramp’s center dock gets installed last. We hope to be clear of the ramp area by April 14. We will still be working on the dock utilities at that point, but there should be no more ramp access restrictions after that date; unless there is a weather event that puts us behind. We will keep both our webpage: https://parks.ny.gov/parks/194/details.aspx and our facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/SunsetBayStateMarinePark updated with the closure information.

Yes, weatherman blew that one. Was not expecting that much rain but the perch cooperated. Ended up with 36 from 9-13inches. I fished in about 63 feet inside where most other boats were. Wanted to fish some for walleye but started to get too rough and I was soaked by noon. Talked to few guys at the ramp and no one seemed to have any luck with walleye.

I got skunked. This is my first year fishing Lake Erie but it just seems like you get waves coming at you from every angle. Tough to keep a constant speed. A week ago I took a friend and his father fishing and both got sick. Hope to get out on Lake O once or twice for perch before putting the boat up.

I went out on Saturday AM and set up in 75ft and got one right away, then took a while to get the second one. The third one got caught up in my rigger wire and took off with my J9 silver and black jointed rapala which is what I caught all three fish on. I then had a "little accident" and cut my finger pretty good on my rigger wire. Thought my day was over but patched myself up. Lucky I had a first aid kit. Caught two more walleye so ended up 4/5, all on jointed rapalas. All fish were caught in about 75ft about 10ft off the bottom going about 1.9 mph. When I got to deeper water marked fish but could not get any to hit. Saw a bunch of boats way deep. When home and bought two more silver and black rapalas. Hard to find them. Most places are out of stock.

Being new to lake Erie fishing, how are you supposed to know if you drift over into Canadian waters? There are no buoys. My map on GPS does not show the border. I did downloaded some GPS coordinates for the US/Canada border that I got from Google maps. How strict are the Canadian border patrol? Obviously if you are a half mile into Canada you have no excuses, but if you are over by a few hundred feet, will they stop you? Thanks.

Started fishing at around 6:30am in 70ft. Didn't get first walleye until later morning. Tough bite. Ended up with 3 walleye, 5 perch, and one silver bass. All walleye came on jointed rapalas in black and silver. Walleye caught at around 55 ft down trolling at about 2.2 mph. Later used worm harnesses and caught perch. I believe this is a silver bass? Are they good eating? Never had one before.

Went out Thursday in AM. Fished north of SP. Saw a lot of small marks and a few decent ones. Trolled north with everything I had- dipsey rod, down rigger, planer boards, bottom bouncers with worm harnesses and sticks- ended up getting one short walleye. This is my first year fishing for walleye and yesterday was humbling. Makes me all the more determined to try again. Sounds like it's not just me but others have struggled too.

Hi, New to LEU and my first post. Fished out of Buffalo in the morning yesterday. Could only mge 2 walleye and some sheep heads. Best walleye came on 3 color core on side planner with #9 jointed rapala. Did catch a 13lb channel cat on a bottom bouncing worm harness that surprised the heck out of me. This is my first year fishing out on Erie. Usually fishing Ontario for salmon out of Rochester. I'll be watching these reports to try and learn how to consistently catch walleye. One question I had- do you guys catch walleye all through the summer out of Buffalo or do you have to go south to find deeper water? Thanks, Bob
