Walleye reports eastern basin


Recommended Posts

Found some today out of Buffalo it was rough. Didn’t mark many but caught a couple weighers for the Derby and plenty to eat. Harnesses were the ticket for us but heard good reports on sticks as well. Tight lines. Still searching for the elusive 10lb’r!!

Been a while since I post on here but haven't been fishing much this year.

Fished out of buffalo yesterday noon to 7pm, tough fishing with wind/waves. Finished with 10 and one 29.5 inches. Couldnt weight in yet because everything was closed. Fished cranks and harness, both did about the same. Fish seem scattered scattered but seem best around 30-40ft. A lot of throwback, a dozen or so. Heading to Dunkirk today.

Fished West, out of the Catt. yesterday morning. Started in 40 fow but the bite wasn’t on until we moved out to 62 fow and stayed steady out until 67 fow. Downriggers down between 42’ and 55’. Lead core did really well out anywhere between 7 and 10 colors. Worm harnesses did the best and the Bandit Purple Black long-A stick bait did well also.

As the lake surface waters warm, the walleyes and others move to deeper colder waters, The Fourth of July they are best west of Sturgeon Point, then to five miles further west when the local waters rise above 72 degrees.

We fished 4 days last week out of Barcelona, tons of fish from the PA line all the way towards Dunkirk, 50 - 70 foot of water. 5 color cores with sticks & divers with spoons all took fish, all colors hit, insane fishing.

Fished out of the Catt today. 12:30 pm till 6 pm. 60 to 65 fow. Caught 3... 22", 24" and a short on dipsys and harnesses. Buddy lost biggest one at the boat. Spoke to a few guys who said it was slow for them. Fun day. A bit warm with flat lake.

Ohio has no closed early season on sport walleye fishing. New York State should open to year round walleye fishing as ice fishing and spring fishing can continue. The walleye numbers in Ohio have no shortage and out of state license sales from New York residents for spring contests or personal use are not harming the replacement numbers. Our regulations were instituted years ago and now are need of change to the present situation. Rivers and inland lakes are open there but we have regulations that are outdated.

What else is new?!!  NYDEC with it's head up it's a$$ as usual. Always years late with any reg changes that can help fisheries or fishermen.

They should also lower the limit on perch to 30/day like PA and OH have.

73 F degree surface waters cause walleyes to head deep. Yet high winds bring a lot of surface dissolved oxygen there. Near surface waters do not appear on your charts as those fish scoot away from your travelling boat, no matter how slow you go. At 78 degrees the walleyes will be at 75 foot deep five miles off shore soon. Then you will see them on your screen suspended looking for bait out there.
