Met Capt Barry Schultz at 6:30 am at the Buffalo small Boat harbor. He launched his 19' Alumacraft and we were on our way the tangle with some bronzebacks!
It was an overcast morning with a little bit of a breeze. Accoring to Capt. Barry, a decent breeze gets 'em snapping so hopes were high.
We used live bait most of the time on a 3 way rig and aboout a 1/4 oz weight in 25' - 30' of water. Used a dropt shot rig with Gulp also. We made short drifts controlled with the trolling motor over isolated rough spots and rockpiles. The fishing program is a lot like fluke fishing so I was in my element.
According to Capt. Barry the fihing was slow but I'm not going to complain. I caught about a dozen smallies including 2 in the 5lb class...personal bests for me by far. We also caught some gigantic (by my standards) yellow perch and some sheepshead.
All in all a great trip which I hope to repeat soon!
Will post pics tomorrow.
