CAPTAIN TONY BUFFA FISHING CHARTERS
Fishing Report #20
10/19/08
Hello my fish'n frenzoids, frenzettes, et. al.
I am back on the little pond and in pursuit of "Walter Walleye". Let's say the fall thus far has provided an attenuating bite at best. Until now it has been sporadic, undependable, unpredictable and down right frustrating for most. Don't despair it is about to get better.
The ambient water temperature is
finally in the 50's...58.8 degrees Fahrenheit at mid-lake as
of 10/19/08 3:30 P.M. By the end of the week we should be
looking at 54 degrees, which by my calculations over the
years has been the trigger for the consistent night bite.
Once the gizzard shad make their nightly trek along the
shoreline you will experience the consistent walleye wallop
at the end of your favorite stick bait.
Phil Roe, deer processor
extraordinaire, who resides in Hamilton, NY has already
begun his dear cutting season but did take some needed time
off this Sunday afternoon to catch his limit of walleyes,
10 sheepshead, 5 yellow perch, and a pair of bass. The bulk
of our catch occurred in 38 feet along the buoy line at 119
to 117. The weapon of choice of course was the XPS Lazer
Blade 1/2 oz. gold/black jigging blade bait enhanced with
Mustad's Activate walleye spray pheromone. We did setup for
the night bite at Larkin Point and managed to bag two
smallmouth bass on the XPS Suspend Nitro Minnow chrome/blue
but no walleyes.
If you need your deer processed this
fall season I would recommend Phil...his smoked venison
options are the best I've ever had. Give him a call at (315)
824-1426. Here is a photo of some of our catch. I managed to
catch a couple walleyes myself. So it's time to "SEAS The
Day" and book your annual fall outing for walleyes.
A very big thank you to all
who spent time with me on lake Ontario. If you are wondering
what happened to September's fishing reports. Well
unfortunately my camera with an 8 GB card full of video and
photos sits at the bottom in 100 feet off the Oswego Lighthouse.
An expensive lesson and worse yet all the lost data...I now have
the same model camera accompanied with a neck lanyard.
I'm
excited to be back home on the "little pond" where the rest of
the fall should be full of perch, walleye and bass.
