Worms are also taken by white perch, white bass, sheep head, and little walleyes.

Amazing how money began to appear from no where.

Rainbow trout finish spawning at 45 degrees F, Then they go on the feed and head out to the lake. Lake Trout and Brown Trout spawn in the fall and early winter after spawning head out to feed their empty bellies. Walleyes like 55 to 65 degree water in the summer but are near shore right now.

Two launches are available, the State Park Launch near the Break water and the Hanover Town launch at the first right turn after the railroad tracks. The marina has a launch also and you can store your boat there to save towing time. Salted emerald shiners work for perch but I also purchase golden shiners they work some also. Miller's Bait store has whatever minnows are available. I fish with one pole for perch to catch more faster. When you set out three poles you waste a lot of time and bait rebaiting minnows that are stolen from your non hand held lines. Most important is to set one minnow snelled hook close to the sinker as perch are lazy and like to pick off a minnow lying in the mud than rising up to chase higher suspended minnows. Most important is to bleed your walleyes and perch immediately in a separate bucket to catch the blood and gurry. This keeps the flesh white during cooking.Then immediately ice your fish since when you catch too many and you are too tired to clean them when you get home. With the immediate icing the fish you are good to go tomorrow with no fish spoilage. Fish in a livewell are subject to spoilage especially when surface water temperatures hit 60 degrees F. or more.

The Black Hole Called Albany and County Hall where your registration, sales taxes on your boat, equipment, fishing license, Federal tax on fishing equipment, and a myriad of other fees flow is off the hook now. Remember when they show up to shake your hand, kick them in the behind.

The Buffnews.com website had a report that Operating Engineers Apprentice School and Union Concrete Construction equipment was available to do the needed channel work. But it disappeared now????

The docks at the Cattaraugus Creek State Boat Ramp were put in by a private business operator, Sturgeon Point Marina could be operated by a private operator or the State Parks Commission.

Miller’s had goldens today. Lake kicked up to 25 mph and we had a good day just trying the boat out. Only three other boats out with only a couple perch brought in. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Mobile App

There are a dozen other sites in the Southtowns of Erie County to make more boat ramps but it does not seem to happen with the officials we have in office now. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Mobile App

The Operating Engineers Union Apprentice School is shut down now due the the Virus Deal. They would be glad to help out in a not for profit deal but the shutdown stops them.

With ice the perch can be cleaned safely the next day. Live wells especially during the warm water periods are like cooking your fish in soup.

The fish in the cooler should be iced down . Snag of ice is cheaper than spoilage of your catch. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Mobile App

An excavator could keep the channe[ open all year. We must have dozens of them around state agencies doing nothing.

I think the marina is owned by the state but operated by the town . Maybe the town should divest it self of the park operation. But now the state is broke. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Mobile App
