Fished out of the Catt today. 1 to 8 pm. Caught 2 eyes, 21" and a short, 1 sheep. Eye came on fire tiger harness in 73 fow. Never found consistent marks. Beautiful day to be on the water though.
I have had this happen with lower cost / lower quality lines that are used on some harnesses. I think it is worth seeking out and paying a little more for harnesses that use quality line. Many brands will advertise the pound test and type of line they use as a selling point.
Thanks for the report J.S. This will help in deciding where we go. Maybe out of the Catt.
I fished out of Sturgeon last year and had some similar outings.
Thinking of heading out of the Catt on Thursday afternoon. Bouy is showing water temp at 68 degrees now. Looks like some cooler air is coming from the north. Any updates prior from today and tomorrow would be great. Thanks guys.
Hi Gary, just a note that these bigger catches came near the western part of ny waters / PA line. Not from Buffalo area. Hopefully they're headed this way as some reports are indicating. The fact that this is the Buffalo walleye report thread had me going until they clarified location.
From personal experience it has produced my 3 best walleye (28, 28.5, 29 inches)... maybe a coincidence but there is no motor noise... stealthy fishing.
Here is the current record and story on it...
