buffalo Harbor

[Jax]

Does anyone fish buffalo harbor in april? My father heard something about it and we are planning a trip around april 19th i think. Any information would be great! Places to stay, places to start fishing.

We are targeting big smallmouth for catch and release bringing my lund up their. Walleye per haps?

Thanks guys

Late April early may can be fun there. The smallies will relate to the rock breakwalls. Plan on loosing a lot of jigs. You can crank them and jerkbait them too off these walls. There is a HUGE tourney there the 3rd Saturday of May. I dont think the harbor opens until that weekend, so call before you go down. Sturgeon Point is also closed. Your only option might be Dunkirk or the Niagar River.

I'm pretty sure walleye's are closed then. I used to work for DEC and doing surveys on the break walls for birds we would see big groups of big smallies in the water off the walls on the rocks just like yankee said. We would be out there around the end of april.

not a good idea to target smallmouth then, unless you enjoy pulling them off their spawning beds and ruining their spawn
