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


 


JULY 2025


Big kings and browns are biting now. It’s a good time to get that perfect fish. The bigger kings are being caught in a variety of depths. We have reports of matures in 130 all the way out to 500. It seems to be a solid meat bite. They got bigger eating the zillions of alewives that appeared this season. We have seen quite a few kings over 25 . The browns are biting big time and they are huge. I’m surprised any made it after the fall slaughter fest that they were stuck in at Burt. They are liking spoons.

The annual LOTSA tournament is this coming weekend. You can still join LOTSA for 10 dollars a year. The LOC is on the rest of the month.

Most are finding fishing very good. There are a few that didn’t have any luck. According to a few guys, it’s that early bite that is working best.

There are words of pier pike and some awesome perch hiding in those rocks.

Harbor fishing good for bluegills and rock bass right now. Have a great day.
