Fished the River 10:30-5:00 between Clayton and Cape Vincent, heavily around Linda Island on the channel side. Worked ledges and deeper water 50-70 fow trolling worm harness rigs, stick baits and spoons. Marked plenty of fish and bait fish. Couldn't produce any bites.

That's what i'm looking for. Sweet.

Thanks, I would have had no clue to start that deep. Great info. Appreciate ya.

Thanks. That's the info I was looking for. Very helpful.

I know. I live on Owasco. But how about the Islands? 

Where are you fishing for walleye. What method to catch? I'll be up there early October in search of walleye. 

On the water at the crack of dawn. Worked 40-55 fow where fish were stacked up. No takers. Shot out to 220 fow and were marking fish in the 70-90 foot range. Caught an 11 lbs King in 70/130 on a watermelon spoon.

Fished solo this afternoon 2:30-5:00. Found the fish stacked up in 40-55 fow. Surface temp 69, temp at 50' @ 57. Couldn't muster up any bites.

I've been having the same results out of Fairhaven. Fish are there hugging the bottom in 95-115 but they're not biting, anything.

Thanks for the report. I'll be out of Fairhaven tomorrow. 

Going to be on The River first week of October and looking for walleye fishing tips. Where to look for them and how to fish them. I have a 21' boat equipped with down riggers. Would trolling worm harness rigs in the fall be effective? Figure on fishing Clayton to St Vincent are and around Carelton Island.

I fished fair haven friday and saturday from 60-475. Best marks in 135. The fish have lock jaw.

You're too early for staging. You can find fish in 105-135 generally but they have been tight lipped. I'm heading out 3-400 out of Fairhaven tomorrow. 

Fished 8:30-12:30 from 85 - 215 fow all spoons on riggers due to rough conditions with 2-4' waves all morning. Best screens were 110 - 135 with plenty of fish in 32-52 fow and consistently marked fish 80-100 fow. No bites all day. Stiff breeze from SW and down temp ranged between 53 - 68 down 105 fow.

Transducer should be mounted out by the chine.

Read thru the threads man. Basically, what they're bitting on in Sandy Creek at X depth is what they're slamming out in Fair Haven and all points in between, Ibay included. Do your homework. What's on this forum is a gift.

On the water at 7 AM done at 12:30. Set up in 100 with 4 riggers down 25-75 and 2 dipseys out 150 with various spoons, paddles, spin doctors and flies. Went NE out to 400 and back trolling at 1.8-2.5 Lake flat calm and foggy. Best screens in 100-150. We didn't get a bite. Some other guys in the lot worked Browns in 30 fow and got half dozen.

Sometimes I swear my electronics are AI capable and just fuk..ng with me.

On the water at 7 AM and shot out to work 100-150 with a dozen other boats. 115 saw the most fish. Picked up a 5 lbs Laker on Bay Rat Gobie while spooling up the rigger from 70/115. By mid morning we slowly worked in shore with the other boats to as shallow as 7' with no other takers.

Fished 8-35' waters east and west of the piers 7-11. Not a bite. Tried a wide variety of baits and colors. Boat back in the lot reported 15/20 on salmon in 50-75 fow over 100 between 4 guys.

Great stuff.

Fished out of Port of Rochester 7AM- 4-PM. Spent the morning working the Lake out in front of the Genesee River. Dozen boats out there and loads of fish. Never saw a net hit the water all morning. Spent the afternoon trolling the River just short of where the fly fishermen were working below the Falls. Along the way one River boat said they got 4. Another boat landed a walleye. We had a huge Smallie hit under the 104 bridge, jump clear of the water and spit the hook. It was that kinda day. Plenty of salmon porpoiseing and jumping in both the lake and river. Fall colors in the gorge just shy of peak.

Forecast of 1' < way off again as we arrived at the ramp with rollers crashing over the breakwall. Lines in the water over 65' at 7:30 with 3-4 waves. Worked out to 200 and back in. Best screen was at 120-135. Plenty of marks 45-85. Fish had lock-jaw. Ran spoons and Jplugs off riggers with short 15-35' leads.

 Weather report called for 7-10 knots from NNW w/ 1 ft or less waves. Got at the launch at 6:30 and waves were breaking over the break wall with 5-6' waves with white caps. Every boat that tried to go out turned around. Total washout.

Launch out of the Genesee River from Charlotte
