Wednesday, October 1st - The weather is a bit and it is cooler in the mornings. The fish are finally starting to move into action. It isn’t great, but it is decent off the piers. That is where most people are waiting for to have a great time catching that big one on their way to their end zone. I would venture that this weekend will be a great time for some pier fishing action. They are jumping and making their entrance a fun one, but (there is always a but), Most of the action is at night or very early morning.

Fishing on a boat is still a hot way to fish as they are still out there in 60 to 400 fow. It is October but feels like the beginning of September weather-wise. We haven’t had any rain in quite a while, so things are lower than they should be.

One of the locals caught a 46 inch musky off the pier wall the other day. There have been quite a few oddities there. Some are actually catching big perch off the piers. What most are looking for are those big kings. The run is seemingly starting. It should be a good few weeks ahead.

For those of you fishing the dam, it opens today. There isn’t much in the way of hot action, though they are starting to catch a few. Put your combat boots on and give it a try. There is a little bit more going on in Eighteen Mile creek and the harbor here in Olcott. It is still low water, though it has a small flow from the Erie Canal.
