WILSON HARBOR INVITATIONAL - SALMON SLAM - $1K A DAY

May 15, 2025 – Hi there, bet you thought we disappeared and weren’t going to give you the usual updates. We are back fully and better than ever. Too much happened to keep up with the sites and we are happy to say the reports and all the goodies that belong on this website will be updated frequently. To our faithful followers, we thank you for sticking with us. We hope at least our links and have offered you help.

Fishing is really tough right now on Lake Ontario’s west end. That bitter cold winter did something and the fish are just playing hide and seek. Either that or they got smart and figured out it is tournament time. The 1K a Day tournament is on along with the Salmon Slam all week. The Wilson Harbor Invitational is Saturday and it looks like it is going to be one for the record. The teams have to find those big kings and rumor has it they haven’t woke up yet, or are in Canada on vacation.

I can tell you the coho bite is the hottest thing right now. Laker bite kind of slowed up and those browns and steelhead headed off to other places right now. The water has just been too cold currently, so we hope this weekend the warmer temperatures get things moving for everyone. It’s kind of a hush thing right now with so much money up for grabs. Just enjoy whatever you are doing and have a great day. It’s a late May start but it can only get better.
