JULY 2024
SUMMER LOC LEADERBOARD
Welcome to our website where we provide boating and fishing info and news for the western part of Lake Ontario and its tributaries in New York State. We share links to other fishing reports, weather,charters, lodging and important fishing and boating related websites. We are located in Olcott, New York a great place to hook up with several species of fish. Best known for the incredible chinook (king) salmon, steelhead and brown trout fishing, we also have plenty of other species to make it a fishing adventure worth checking out. Large and smallmouth bass, coho and atlantic salmon, rainbow trout, walleye, lake trout, perch, northern pike, carp and several others.
Saturday, July 20th – Fishing has been incredible for the entire month of July so far. So far is the key word. After that blasting northwest yesterday fishing wasn’t as easy today for most out there, but it was still good. Now that everyone is used to the fish just about jumping in the boats, they got a little spoiled. Having to use hardly any gas and limiting out in a couple of hours was basically a little too easy on the action. I’ve personally never heard of so many people having to pull rods due to too much action. As it was, it happened for weeks on end. Now the action is still there but not as solid. If someone is telling you one spoon works and nothing else does, remember one thing. Each boat sounds and trolls differently. Since basically everything has been working, it does seem things are going to get a little pickier. Fishing is still good from 80 to 300 fow it seems. Several people said they limited on kings, browns and steelhead today. There is nothing big being weighed in, but not all the boats are in the tournament and today isn’t over. Meat, flies and spoons are hot on the action and it’s been a green, whites, blacks season so far. We haven’t heard much from Olcott harbor. A few perch biting at Wilson harbor, but no numbers yet and those perch guys like to keep it hush hush. Remember, those perch are for their eyes only. There is still another full week of the Summer LOC and everyone wants that 10k prize.. The LOTSA tournament is next weekend in Olcott. There is still room for 14 or so more boats. The Sonny’s tournament is the 26th-28th. That one is 210 a boat. Hope it is a great day for you every day.
