Shorthanded

The Buffalo "Small Boat Harbor" has a fish cleaning station where you can fillet your fish and process and dispose the remainder of the carcass through macerators/grinders. These mechanical systems are frequently broken, causing the cleaning house to be locked closed. takes the authority forever to fix and reopen it, as its not a priority for them.

X2!!!

mark, it was an early morning bite yesterday, the bite died when the bright sun came out

decent day on the pond today, 8 yellows between 6-8lbs, dropped half as many. threw a little bit of everything at them. only the riggers were dead. boards (40 jets and 2-3 oz snap weights) and dispys produced. black/pink sgl hatchet harnesses, hammered copper/watermelon dbl colorado harnesses, chartreuse/pink-head reef 800 runners and chartreuse/red-head deep husky jerks DH-12. cranks worked equally well as the harnesses. short hour long bite between 7-8am while clouds were out, then the sun appeared and nada more ALOT of bait and FISH directly off Abino on the fence (60-65 fow), 1.6 mph down speed did the trick for us

Nice going boys! I will give you a shout tomorrow if I get into them. [ Post made via iPhone ]

4 fish in 30 minutes over 4 hours total fishing time. From SBH along the fence 40 fow into 60 fow (best picture).. Lots of fish and bait 20-40 ft deep, and on the bottom. spread consisting of two riggers, two wire dispsys, two in-line boards with drop weights. each took a fish. colorado harnesses in copper/orange, copper/watermelon, hatchet in pink/black and small perch chattersticks. 1.7-1.8 mph down speed. lots of fish.... slow bite.

Welcome and thanks for contributing to the thread. A separate thread for Barcelona was suggested, I don't have a preference, but this thread is the "Eastern Basin" and as good as any. many of us will be headed that way often the rest of the year and will post often.

nice fish Jim

sounds familiar, lots of small fish around...we were looking for tournament fish

committed and spent the morning working outer Meyers - should have stayed in bed - one dink and one perch did find a 7 degree down-temp break for first time this year, and lots of bait moral of the story "head west young man, head west...."

3 fish today ... just shy of being weighers... N to NW of Seneca 51 fow and 40 ft down blk/pink harnesses, 1.7mph down speed riggers (40' off ball) and medium blk dispys down 40ft off big boards saw fish feeding off bugs on surface, but couldn't get them to go. out again tomorrow...

Saturday... 2 trophy smallies and 1 6-7lb yellow...tough day, covered lots of water from the Fence in 55-fow to Meyers in 36-fow and Seneca in 41-fow, marked very few fish, widely scattered. my best picture (not a great picture btw) of the day was out deep off the Fence picked the yellow up in 41-fow just west of the red can. north troll, black/pink hatchet, 20 ft off down rigger ball, 2.1-mph down speed. another hit and miss in the same area, and we called it a day. worked hard for very little. back at it after the front passes.
