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


Friday, June 28, It is a little breezy out here in Olcott this morning and there is a decent chill. It appears the lake flipped again and the colder water is inside. It’s 43 on top this morning making for people to get those jackets on. There is a bounce today that brought a couple smaller boats in for the day. Others seem to be enjoying the fishing so far, catching a few lakers and cohos with the occasional king bite. Hopefully the roll did a good job of waking those kings up just in time for some excellent July fishing. There has been a lot of difficulty giving the right reports due to the weather so far this season. It looks like it is about to set up in a good way just in time. The coho fishing has been really good for well over a month now. Things still look like offshore is the best place to go in 300 to 400 fow.

It is FREE fishing weekend in New York State. Saturday June 29th and Sunday June 30th. You don’t need a license to fish anywhere in New York this weekend.

Bye’s Popcorn officially reopens tomorrow June 29th from 1 – 8. Fireworks are on the west pier July 3rd. The summer LOC starts Saturday, June 29th and runs until the end of July. Starting xn>Fishing the harbor has been up and down also. There are some big perch on and around the piers . If you are looing for them, they are In the rocks/ They have been on and off at Twelve Mile near the bridge and in the mouth. If you are looking for a good time in the creeks, this week is looking good. Of course there will always be that guy that says there no fish. I imagine he will stop in after I post this report. Smiles and have a great day.
