jimski2 Posted September 27, 2017 Report Posted September 27, 2017 From 8 to 12 AM today, picked up ten, eighteen to twenty eight inches . Four throwbacks in seventy six to seventy feet of water from the Catt and east as the wind was steady and stronger. Harnesses, spoons and Renosky stickbaits all worked. There you go.Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United 2

Fishkiller16 Posted September 28, 2017 Report Posted September 28, 2017 Finished up my season on my 31 footer Wednesday. I may get out a few more times on my buddies Ranger 621FS. We finished with 1027 walleyes total, with 590 we kept, we threw back hundreds of sublegal and legal walleyes this year. 26 years total fishing this lake and 5 years of chartering and I can't remember a year like this. 06 and 07 were awesome years out there with the 03 hatch but nothing compared to this season. I hope it continues the next couple of years this hot. We are in a unique situation now with 3 extremely good year hatches in play (14,15,16). I hope we were able to help you guys out with information and such this year. One other note Rob Kroh and I are running the Southtowns Walleye Assocation Tournament for 2018 and there are some pretty big changes coming up for next year that I think all will be happy about. We are moving our 3 team boats from the Catt to our winter home at Mid River Marina today. Good luck to all who continue to fish it should be good for a while yet. Well I guess we will go clean the house finally.....lol get the garage set up for butchering our deer, and start shooting the bow. Hell I have rifle to sight in I forgot about with this good fishing. Look for us at the Niagara Falls fishing show in January and the Hamburg show in march. Sent from my SM-G920V using Lake Erie United Mobile App 9

stoneam2006 Posted September 28, 2017 Report Posted September 28, 2017 Thanks Jim your learning charter helped me be able to put fish on deck in my boat and the information provided here from you and others give us new guys places to start. And not just for walleye (at least for me). Many of your techniques and things you showed me I used all summer from lake o fingers and now Erie. I will be I touch as we have a boat to rig lol. See you at the show if not sooner hope to see some bbd pics.Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk 1

mostlymuskies Posted September 29, 2017 Report Posted September 29, 2017 Water temp is above 70 degrees,eyes will be around until 60 degrees,then they start moving West!Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Erie United Mobile App
Fishkiller16 Posted September 29, 2017 Report Posted September 29, 2017 I'm thinking these fish from dunkirk to the catt are our local school. I bet these fish won't go west. They will scatter but stay local.Sent from my SM-G920V using Lake Erie United Mobile App 1
Fishkiller16 Posted September 29, 2017 Report Posted September 29, 2017 No one has caught any ohio or pa tagged fish. But tons of ny tagged fish were caught.Sent from my SM-G920V using Lake Erie United Mobile App
jimski2 Posted September 29, 2017 Report Posted September 29, 2017 When the water temperature falls below 65 degrees on the surface the walleyes and perch move back to the river and near shore areas.Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United
mostlymuskies Posted September 29, 2017 Report Posted September 29, 2017 I personally do not think most of the sub legal size and up to 17 inch walleyes are all local fish and most will move West.Every October & November all the walleyes we catch around the Niagara headwaters & Buffalo Harbor are mostly of the 23 to 27 inch class.Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Erie United Mobile App 1
Re-KLEIN-eR Posted September 29, 2017 Report Posted September 29, 2017 Hey jim looking forward to the upcoming changes to southtowns tourney. Hope they can spark more interest with the tourney guys. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United Mobile App 1
jimski2 Posted September 29, 2017 Report Posted September 29, 2017 We sold a lot of deep husky jerk rap alas all winter long to fishermen casting from shore into the Niagara River. Large fish, night and day, snow and cold. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Erie United

Do you think these are the fish that spawn in the Hamburg area in the spring? What could be the reason for so many fish all of the sudden? Edited September 30, 2017 by Two Fingers poor grammar
mostlymuskies Posted September 30, 2017 Report Posted September 30, 2017 We will have to see what late October & November catch sizes are,the last two years late I never caught any walleye shorter then 23" at head of the Niagara River,in the river or Buffalo Harbor. If we catch smaller eyes then I would believe they never went West. Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Erie United Mobile App

overthelimit Posted September 30, 2017 Report Posted September 30, 2017 Last fall I caught a number of undersized eyes. We had 2 excellent hatches in 2014 and 2015. The 2015 hatch may rival 1983, which was a record breaker.
Fishkiller16 Posted September 30, 2017 Report Posted September 30, 2017 There is no doubt that these fish are the ones that spawn between Brockton and buffalo they are 100% our local fish I have to disagree with the theory that the small fish migrate back to Ohio I personally feel it's the other way aroundSent from my SM-G920V using Lake Erie United Mobile App
