Buffalo 2022

I heard there was a way to catch em in the day in May at the 25 tp 30 ft level but never had much luck, now I got some confidence to go give it a try again.  Thanks.  Paper says slime starting to show up in lower river, bar area so night fishing window gonna close soon, nice to have a good second option after the slime and until they get in their summer pattern.

Lost 3 and boxed 10 (2#-5#) this morning (9:30 - 12:30). All bottom bouncing with harnesses. Single blade; chartreuse/silver and copper. Interesting...2 came on a harness with a gobie attached rather then a crawler. Fun morning.

Sounds a lot more pleasant than bucking the chop last night and going 3 for 5.  Think the shallow night fishing is about done; water temp close to sixty.

It was a beautiful night on the water. We fished 8p-12a in front of the windmills in 15-20 fow. Tried 1.5-2.2 running sticks took several smallies but no walleye. It was one of the calmest most peaceful times I’ve had on the water. Lots of boats out there seemed like most people were minding their manors. Saw these guys wading in front of smokes creek and fly fishing. Pretty cool idea. Have a great Memorial Day and take a moment to remember what’s it’s all about.

Fished 7:00 - 10:45 PM last night (Sunday).  Started midway through the windmills in 15 - 25 FOW and moved south.   Off the beach and Hamburg in the dark in 8 - 15 FOW.  Stickbaits after dark and smaller sticks and Flickershads during daylight.  Three smallies, 1 sheephead and 1 walleye (22").  Eye was taken before dark and quickly lost what I assume was an eye after dark.  Great night to be out.

Walleye spawning must be fishing, a two week wait for them to turn on n midwaters. Soon it will happen for side planers and stick baits or worm harnesses.

My son in law was new in town and I told him we need to go ' bottom bouncing in front of the windmills' and he said , whats that, and I said its a Buffalo thing like Dingus Day.  That go em thinking.

Walleyes at night in shallow water have produced with stick baits and long lines.

Also ran 2 small slidedivers on #3 out 80-85 ft. ,They caught a few too. All eyes were 16" - 22" probably all males. Friends nearby bottom boanceing with harnesses way out fished us.  They limited out by  mid morning. They were using electric bow mount motors. We'llsee where the Eyes are this week

Hey All It’s likely to get quiet in here for the next ten days as the Southtowns derby has started. I’m hopefully to get out tomorrow evening, during the week and with my kids for Father’s Day. Good luck everyone. Feel free to post up pics, no judgement if you don’t want to share the details! Stay safe and tight lines!

Fished this evening 6-10p. We managed 4 walleye on a variety of sticks and harnesses in 35-40FOW. Likely could have turned on them and made limits but we were searching for size.

 Saturday we fished the high banks area little east of Meyers then moved to Seneca area west and north of red buoy. We put 13 eyes in the box lots of Bass and Sheephead too. Also 2 catfish. About 30-35 fow. Five color with stick baits off inline boards was best rod. Small slide diver took some also.Our eyes were bigger on average then ones we caught last week, biggest was 27.5" 8.5 lbs.

We ended up finding a couple in 35-45 FOW but the struggle was real.

That seems to happen a lot out of Buffalo. One day limits in a couple hours and the next a real struggle.

Had Another go this afternoon. Boated one immediately as we were setting lines in 40fow. Moved around had a good screen in 50fow but couldn’t move a rod. 4hrs on the water. Beautiful night.

We’ve had some interesting times so far this season for one reason or another. Boat has been unnamed but she may become “The Clown Show” if I can’t pull it together!

Tight lines all. Forecast doesn’t look to promising for tomorrrow or Friday.

[JustFishin.....]

Gave it a go today with my kids. We made one pass inside the break wall dragging some sticks and then swung down to the round house and trolled with the wind for a bit. Caught one smallie. First year in a while we haven’t boated a weigher for the derby. Still figuring it out fishing out of Buffalo. Most importantly a great time was had. Happy Fathers Day!

Best area was west of Seneca 40-50 fow. Put 7 eyes in the box. Should have been more but some rookie mistakes. There moving to deeper water. Back at it this weekend.
