Guest Brian Laketrout Cuthbertson Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 Buddy the dog woke me for an early dewatering. I checked the forecast for lake Erie,Dunkirk/Barclona area. Out the door and at Crystal Beach @06:30. thanks to Denis at http://www.fishinniagara.com/ who gave me a heads up on where to head to. 70miles return trip down the American shore line. Dunkirk The forecast on the VHF started out being a SE 8 kt wind. Will she was alittle stronger then that,in fact I hit one wave and my stern light with flag flew out and overboard. I new that was going to happen sooner or later. All day they were calling for winds out of the SE and it was blowing out of the NE most of the day. I did manage one 7lb Steelhead,I was in 130FOW,main line down 100' cheater that caught the SH down 77' Managed to get myself a hand full of zebra mussels also. It was a nice trip back though. Arrived home @ 07:30 Thank Denis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denis Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 No laker takers huh... Did you mark lots of fish out there? I went shore fishing yesterday and drove as far as barcelona noticed a couple boats trolling the shoreline out there but people I talked to said it was still slow. I noticed a big mudline out from the catt probally a good spot to try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brian Laketrout Cuthbertson Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 Lakers,nope only hit I got was the SH on the Mepps spinner. That mud line runs from Dunkirk down to and out off of Barcolna. There was alot of fish in that mud line,tried trolling in and out of it. I darn near forgot about the PA border waters,that would have been nice getting pinched for fishing in PA with no lic. Got a Email from a fellow last night about fishing there. "We got pounded by rain on Friday, so the Catt was high and muddy, making it not too good for the most part. It is still running at 900cfs this morning in Gowanda, which is high. It should be good by the end of the week, but probably not much sooner. Good news is that is should bring some fish in! Other creeks have some fish in, but not great numbers yet. 18 Mile, Canadaway, and Chautauqua have all seen action, all in the lower sections and at the mouths. Thats about it - wish it was better for you. Should be getting better really soon as the nights are cooling things down and plenty of water in the creeks." Denis I have expected to see the SS Minnow out there? It's amazing how I pro. set the hook on that SH. I was fixing up another cheater line when I heard my reel scream for a second,looked and a fish jumped,I looked at the rod and it was poped and bouncing,I grabed it ,set the hook and nothing, the fish jumped again and I reeled and then set the hook again,still nothing,I reeled and reeled then I felt the weight and set the hook again,this time I felt him,he was not a happy fish. I netted him and he went nuts,spitting the hook out,but too late he was in the net Land ahead I think 2 1/2 mb vid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nippaditty Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 Hey Brian I was out that same day out of Dunkirk. The wind was blowing from the SE ( off shore ) in the morning,, then it swung around to the SW. then it was calm for about 15 to 20 minutes,, then it started out of the NE like you mentioned. We got two small Steelhead ( 3 to 4 pounds ) and a huge sheephead. over 121 fow. Then it blew so hard we headed in and fished in 80 to 70 feet of water. Nothing. We gave up the ghost and headed for my smallmouth spots and we nailed them. All fish were caught on spinner baits and crank baits. A Real change from catching them on tubes or grubs like we do normally. Buddy the dog woke me for an early dewatering. I checked the forecast for lake Erie,Dunkirk/Barclona area.
