LOC LEADERBOARD
 


September 2025


Sunday, September 14th - The weather has been great in the area for quite a few days now. We could use some rain to push those fish in closer, but enjoy the open waters while you can. Fishing by boat has been real good. At 60 to 400 fow - there is a nice mixed action of steelhead and kings. There are fish close to shore. Some are catching a few nice matures in tight on meat. Most of the bites seem to be offshore on spoons and or flies.

Quite a bit of decent action in Wilson harbor for perch fishing. Perch and pike were also biting off the Olcott piers this weekend. A couple of salmon were caught off the piers. It's not that pier time yet like everyone is looking forward to. It should pick up much better this coming weekend. We are supposed to see some rain. It all depends on the wind and rain, so we have no solid advice for you today. Temps will remain warm all this coming week, so enjoy the great weather while it is here. Things will be fall-style action soon enough. Have a great day!
