TOURNAMENT CALENDAR

Welcome to our all in one site for all your fishing, boating, weather and event needs for Western Lake Ontario and the surrounding areas.
 


JUNE 2025
NIAGARA PROAM


June 3 - It’s an early June Tuesday and there isn’t much to tell you right now. The tournaments are all over for a few weeks. With all the winds this last weekend, the Proam turned into a one-day event. Congratulations to all the people who won. It’s a little bouncy on the lake today. Waves are about 2 foot or so. The king bite did start to turn on Friday, but we don’t have any good info yet today. Cohos were still biting as of Friday along with a few steelhead. Lake info will be updated as soon as we know more.

Smallmouth , crappie, little guys have been biting at Fishermens Park. A few decent bites in Olcott harbor. Site will be updated frequently now. Have a great day.

May 31-The Niagara Proam is on and fishing turned on with it. The kings finally came out to play and Taz, as we call him (Captain Tyler Morrison - West End Charters) nailed it in the pros yesterday with a huge box of kings including a 29 pounder. I’m pretty sure Captain Mike Johannes is on that team. Next up for Friday is Captain Vince Pierleoni – Team Thrillseeker. Just behind Vince is the Yankee Troller boys – Captain Richard Hajecki and his famous brother Craig.

Leading the Am division is Insane Injun fishing team. The Hartman boys are really doing a great job. Their fishing stories during the proam are keepers. I don’t know much else yet about leaders or fishing stories, but I will catch you up. This website is going to rock once again.

It is 5:11 am and I can hear the lake smashing and crashing from the shop here. is a small craft in effect, so they may be waiting a couple hours or calling it for the day.

The cohos are still biting hard and the kings are about. We will have more info after the Proam . We just like to keep it under the hat during the tournament.
