LAKE ERIE FISHING
REPORT

July 27th, 2010
Despite so wild weather over the
last week that included 3 Tornados in Chautauqua County, lots of wind,
waves and rain. The fishing continues to be very good when you can get
out. The water temperature seams to have reached it's peak at 75-76
degrees for now. There seems to be pods of Smallies spread out on
every off shore rock pile, hump, drop off or bottom transition. The
key is finding one spot to yourself and working it over until the fish
slow down biting, which usually happens when a couple other boats pull
up and start running over the spot, then move to another structure to
start over. It's been mainly a minnow, crab and drop shot bite but
Tubes work as well some days.
The Walleye bite seems to be about the same as the Smallies as well, with
some Eyes spread out on a lot of the same structures the Bass are on
and a bunch more suspended over deeper water. The same problem
is you have to try to find a spot to yourself and work it until they
quit biting. They really seem to be fishing pressure sensitive this
year more than usual, biting like crazy one minute then should
down the next minute. Again, a spinner & worm has been the hot bait
whether it's trolled or drifted. The key is finding what speed they
want on that particular day, some times that hour more than what
color.

The Smallmouth Bass & Walleye
fishing continues to be as Hot as the weather on Lake Erie and with
the temperatures in the mid 80's to low 90's. It's Hot! The Lake Erie
water temperature is up to 75 degrees which is warmer than it was all
last season all ready. The funny thing is, there are still some fish
in fairly shallow for this time of year as by now most are fairly deep
(30-45'). But, there seems to be fish every where from 15' out to 45',
with some of the higher concentrations being off Myers Reef, Seneca
Shoal, Wavorly Shoal and around the Emerald Channel. Shiners & Crabs
get constant action from the feasting Smallies, so bring lots of
them! Drop shotting just about any small worm, Goby or Minnow imitator
also receives some attention as well.
The big migratory school of Ohio Walleye seems to be spread out between
Silver Creek (the Cat), Sturgeon Point and Point Abano all ready, with
pockets of Eyes around the Emerald Channel, the Light House wall,
Myers Reef and the Departure Buoy. A spinner & worm harness has been
the best Walleye bait whether it's drifted or trolled of late.

NIAGARA RIVER FISHING REPORT
July 27th, 2010
There is some decent Smallmouth Bass & Walleye
fishing to be had for those willing to put up with the floating moss.
This floating moss just plan hampers your fishing as it coats your
line, bait and lures, making it difficult to keep your stuff working
without having to reel up constantly. It's a little better out on the
Niagara Bar and Lake Ontario. Minnows, Crabs, Tubes and Drop Shot
baits are working for the Smallies. While a bottom bounced spinner &
worm will connect on the occasional Walleye.
