mostlymuskies Posted May 23, 2017 Report Posted May 23, 2017 I was going out tonight,but this afternoon waves were breaking over the long wall in the Buffalo Harbor.The winds are to slow down at dark, but it will take awhile for it to calm down.After Saturday's 3 to 4 fters I did not feel like rolling & trolling in the dark.Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Erie United Mobile App

mostlymuskies Posted May 24, 2017 Report Posted May 24, 2017 Daytime was not to good yet,3 eyes & 5 smallmouth on copper/orange 3 D thumper blade harnesses.30 ft off Hamburg.Last night I did not get on the water until 10 pm.Went to Woodlawn Bar and it was a war zone with 30 to 40 boats,decided to turn back to Donley's Wall.Only 4 other boats there trolling.We did not do good there,only caught one eye.One friend in another boat had 3.We quit early it was so slow.At the SBH Launch talked to a few other guys returning and a lot had Zippo and the most I heard of was 3.Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Erie United Mobile App 1
mostlymuskies Posted May 24, 2017 Report Posted May 24, 2017 Remaster considering a slow day & night daytime was a little more productive yesterday.Bottom bouncing with 3-D worm harnesses in Copper/Orange thumper blade at 1.7 mph with electric trolling motor in 30 ft of water from Woodlawn Bar to Hamburg Beach & back.Current pull toward the river flowing SW,so best action was going SW against the slight current.Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Erie United Mobile App
mostlymuskies Posted May 24, 2017 Report Posted May 24, 2017 Seamaster,I hate spell check,wish I could find out how to go back and correct spelling after you have posted!Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Erie United Mobile App
Seamaster Posted May 24, 2017 Report Posted May 24, 2017 OK thanks for the information mostly muskies I'll give the daytime a shot it gives me more options. Probably head out Saturday morning. Will post my resultsSent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United
Great Escape Posted May 24, 2017 Report Posted May 24, 2017 Fished wind mills last night from 4_9pm. Caught 3 eyes from the least likely source. Down riggers set at 20ft, 30 FOW, black and silver bay rat. Marked a lot of fish. Would have liked to fish the night, but I go fishing to get away from people. Must have been crazy out there. Lots of boats going out as we were heading in. 2
