deetch Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Just asking area. West of the can, The Can, Gas wells off of Sherkston or Windmills in Buffalo. Fishing has been sporadic for me this year, usually getting between 2-4 every time out. The fish for me have been small. Thanks for the help. Just looking for the area I will hunt for them when I get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surf and Turf Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 My suggestion would be no farther east than the can as a starting point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Botchegalupe Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 I was out this evening for a couple of hours just south of the weather buoy. Got one on a jet diver using a Williams spoon with a worm, lost one a downrigger using a worm harness. Got caught in a thunderstorm and was soaked when I arrived back at Sugarloaf Marina.

Botchegalupe Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 It could be the weather buoy, it looks like a mini oil well platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Botchegalupe Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 The lightning was something else, we really got soaked putting the cover on the boat after we tied up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
