Gill-T

The inshore daytime bite is starting. Some females showing now. Some are resorbing their eggs (never unloaded). Post spawn skinnys that need to put the feed bag on in time for south towns. Have not done southtowns derby so may give it a try this year.

In for lunch at noon. Three more lakers but nothing over 6 lbs. Figured out the cowbells. They wanted a jointed stickbait behind the bells. Wouldn’t touch a spin glow.

Three fish this morning. In for breakfast. Preference for spoons. Nothing on cowbells.

I am not in the derby but I will be out tomorrow. Haven’t fished Seneca since the mid 80’s.

I would say head offshore based on surface temp maps.

8-11’

Can’t let boat repairs keep me down. Great day of sunshine deserves some time spent fishing. Three species caught today off breakwall. KVD jerk bait was the only thing they wanted. All hits on the pause.

Because it is an absolute waste of time voting on unimportant dribble as changing the name of a body of water for political gains when there are REAL problems that our representatives should be working on.

Good fishing last night West of Dunkirk yielding a three man limit of walleye. Spawning males. Size was bigger this outing. Scatter rap minnows and ripplin redfins in natural colors. We had a crazy occurrence happen twice last night when we snagged bottom only to find when we freed the lure there was a walleye on the end. The only thing I can think happened is there was a fish following the bait and when it snagged, the fish thought it was a goby diving under the rocks or it was watching the stuck twitching bait and once the lure was freed it struck.

Tough grind East wind bite tonight. Fished from Smoke’s creek to Hamburg shore. Maybe a fish an hour. All eater sized fish. Renosky’s and scatter rap minnows.

I wonder how many of those are fish that made their way to shore are from the alewife survey. The fish that come aboard to be weighed do not live

I would like to report a skunking. Launched out of the Catt. Saw 55 degrees in some bays but the fish weren’t there at this time. A couple of buddies went west out of Dunkirk and got a two man limit. Location location. On a really scary note….holy crap that fog bank that rolled in was some scary ****!! We could not see two feet in front of our face. The GPS got a little squirrelly at one point and I almost put the boat on the rocks. I pulled out my cell phone compass feature and got us back to our track but wow that was unreal. Clear skies with total sky visibility to zero in 2 minutes.

Could it been an upwelling event with low O2 (Dead alewives) causing the bite to be off? Did you notice if the water had an odor?

Ya baby!!! Give me more pollution!!! …… https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/senate-votes-to-overturn-epa-rule-limits-7-hazardous-air-pollutants-clean-air-act/

Friday night the lake should be like glass.

Friday night wind forecast is improving. Who is going out on night patrol?
