Good Morning, It is Tuesday, June 30 – the last day of June and not a lot of people fishing the lake the last couple of days. We have a few going out , picking up a king or two and some steelhead & cohos. That area between the red barn and about a mile west of it in 150-220 has been decent early in the morning and again in the afternoon. Blues and greens have been good colors for spoons and flies. There are temp changes are all over the map here . Out to 400-450 fow has been where most are headed right now – picking up some steelies and an occasional king. A few dragging the bottom looking for some big boys – but the bite has been off. The best bites have been in the early morning before 8 - then it seems to shut down for most I spoke with. They pick up again in the afternoon and early evening. Marking nice fish – just not getting that bites consistently.
Fishing the harbor and piers has been really decent in Olcott – a lot of nice bass and pike. Most are using crawlers and minnows doing well – many using rubber worms, power baits working well.

Congratulations to Daryl Knoerdel who won the Olcott Fishing Derby Salmon Division this week! Have a great day!

Good Morning, It is Sunday June 28 and the weather looks great. Quite a few people fished yesterday – some had fish – some didn’t. The kid’s derby went over well and the Buffalo Sabres Alumni donated free fishing rods and reels to every child who fished. The kids did really well down there and had a great time. People fishing 18 mile, 12 mile and the piers in both Wilson and Olcott had better luck than the lake trollers yesterday.

There are a few catching steelhead out past 300 fow deep water – using mixed combos of green, chartruese, blue, silver and oranges. Not much inside here yesterday reported – pickins were slim – that is of course unless you were shoreline fishing for bass – that bite was real good. I have promises today of some good fishing reports – so we will let you know . It’s a great day to just get some sun, troll around and hammer some kings. The Scotty Tournament is over in Canada this weekend – we wish everyone luck over there. I’ll keep you updated when I get some reports. Have a great day!

It’s still FREE FISHING in New York today – Get out there and fish!

Good Morning, It is Friday, June 26 and a beautiful day for fishing Lake Ontario. This weekend it is FREE FISHING DAYS in New York State (no license required) and the Olcott Kids Fishing Derby… EVERY kid gets a free rod and reel combo and hot dogs, drinks and chips at a picnic. 8 am start time – come on down and have a great time.

There are awesome bass swimming all over Olcott Harbor and off the piers. Guys are out here fishing today doing great early this am until about 11 it slowed down – but that evening bite is also good. Ludingtons , green dolphins and cut bait is working super. Whatever is hitting that meat is extra big – heard a lot of stories already with the meat getting hit – but losing the fish. Out in about 220 fow has been good 120-140 down. There are kings here – but mostly steelhead and cohos right now and everything has been in the biting mood.

Have a great day – More info shortly
Good news update - people are catching fish out here in the lake. We finally nabbed some fishermen and received two phone calls from friends today fishing the lake. Down near the Somerset Power Plant, PA guys fishing was super on Ludingtons and NBK’s with a white on white doctor - in 80-220 fow. 2 days ago 30-65 down was working great on those steelhead. Yesterdays bite wasn’t so good. People did catch fish - but had to really hunt them down. Something really cool - phone call from Scott Palmer this morning and another from the Buffalo Guys , - the new Fish On herring strips are working - KINGS! Yeahoo - we got some of it in our shop to try out and were really excited because it has been two years with no meat - and that cut bait was always our favorite to fish with. We were a bit leary after some of the other products claimed to replace the cut bait - but nothing replaced the real deal - it just wasn’t working. This stuff is certified VHS free and is going to rock those big kings for derbies and those fishing charters. It's going to be a scorcher today. We will have more info shortly - remember it is the LOC SUMMER DERBY!!


Good Morning - It is Wednesday, June 24th. There hasn't been anyone or many at all fishing. I haven't seen anyone to give a report - If you have a report - please go to our new message board and post your reports. There aren't too many fishing the lake - so fishing reports are lax - but wow there are some monster bass swimming around Olcott harbor - big fish - no fishermen. As soon as anyone gets out here fishing and gives me a report - I will post it here for you. The biggest excitement we had all week was Jimmy Gordon trying to get Hawg out for a day on the lake when his boat was overwhelmed by little plastic ducks. Yep, it was the annual duck race - and Captain Jim stayed to rescue the hundreds of plastic ducks with his net. Fishing Updates coming later for you. Have a great day!
