  Geezze,  I just put an  I-pilot on my bow, but after seeing the posts here I am afraid to have anyone see it!  You guys might shoot me!  I haven't been out with it yet, still new.

sounds like a good day!

Yellowpike, did you have a good day?  I heard some did , & some didn't.

Years ago the favorite spot for early spring perch fishing was off Smokes Creek near the slag piles.. There were hundreds of boats there at this early condition. This area is where the Buffalo Harbor dredging material was dumped and mostly sediments where the critters that perch eat are at. The slag forms a good base for the perch eggs to mature. Seneca shoals off shore three miles due west was a good shale bottom to attract spawning fish in the spring also. When the water temperature reaches above 55 degrees the perch will move off shore to deeper water.

  At this area are there 2 piles/humps on the bottom in 40-42 fow?   Thanks

Nice, get ready!

 Like I said bad rumor!  lol

   Rumor has it that the side docks are in at the Catt. state launch.

  Congrats, good luck!

   Go to U-tube & check out "Lake Erie yellow perch gill nets out of port Stanley"  video & this is just 1 boat.

   Trapper, My brother(Glenn S.) just picked his boat up from you & He told me that story.  I agree with you& M.M..    I hate to see those females full of eggs being killed.  JMO

  Still have them ?  Still for sale??

  A friend fished Wed. from the catt. to Sp shallow & deep & ended up with 2 fish. He fished from 8am-1 pm. was the only one out on the lake Then decided he was nuts& left!

  Fyi, he tried launching at the Hanover launch & found so much slit & mud he couldn't even back the trailer in the water & ended up at the state launch with no docks in yet.  Also miller had emeralds.

  If you look at web cam at Barcelona Harbor it looks like they are dredging & repairing the break wall today.  Fyi, can see all the great lake cams on Great lakes web cam site

  I have a friend that use to dive around the round house years ago & claims there are some monsters down there. Eyes, muskies,& northerns.

  Great site, Thanks!

 I don't believe SP work ever starts to early, never much before the walleye opener in past years.

   He looked into it & was told this one is an older model & cannot be upgraded.  That is why he got a new one.   He was in contact with Minn Kota Co. & that is what he was told.

  Listing for a friend.  A Minn Kota power drive; 55 # thrust;  54" shaft;  12 volts;  It has a foot pedal with a 20' cable & comes with mounting hardware.  It is in excellent condition.  This unit "Cannot be upgraded" to an I-Pilot system.  Asking $285 , he is only selling it because he upgraded to an I-pilot himself.  Prefer local pick up in the buffalo, NY area but might meet 1/2 way.  Let me know!   Thanks

  We tried to fish out of the Oak today , no good!  The creek was chocolate brown & it went both east & west into the lake out about a mile. Then the east winds picked up 1 footers grew to 3 footers , my buddies kicker wouldn't start & we got blown off by 11:00. Bad day for sure!

 FYI, the only good thing was they were putting the docks in on both sides when we came in!
