Be ready to go after what is biting. Early July can be great for Walleye and Smallmouth, but also for Salmon and Trout. Our guide knew the Salmon and Trout were doing better. The Walleye numbers had not moved in from the west yet. We listened to his report and decided to go for the Salmon and Trout. Glad we did.

Make sure you know which fish are biting, and where, especially if taking fish home is important to you. The surface temperature of Lake Erie was just too warm this August for the walleye. Still a lot of fun, though!!

In the month of September understand that we are coming into fall. The weather can change in the blink of an eye. Pack accordingly and prepare for the elements

Perch, walleye, small mouth bass, large mouth bass salmon. Captain Greg Rousch is a great captain and fishing guide. Buffalo Bass Man charters is the way to go.

You have to fish differently and in different spots depending on the fish you would like to catch, for a family that just wants to catch something Captain Vinny does the work to make sure you do!

The Walleye fishing is amazing in July. There was a Walleye tournament going on while we were fishing but plenty of room for everyone

Do a little research on what fish are active at different times of the year. Dress for cold weather in early spring.

Fishing was a bit slow at first but picked up around 9:00 AM. It was a post-cold don’t day though so normally the fishing would be even better.

The fishing is plenteous and exciting. However, prepare for swift currents, a tremendous undertow, and do not take the river and lakes lightly.

Fishing is real good it's the weather that is messed up. Do not like the confusing road system , it it very confusing so have a good set of maps to keep from getting lost in the road system.

Communicate with the captain in advance when selecting specific species and fishing methods.
