Lake Ontario - Freshwater Fishing Report
With a couple days previous of E and NE winds coupled with off and on storms, there hasn't been much consistent boating action out of Point Breeze lately. Oh yeah, and there's been more of that dreaded fog! Those who did make it out of the Oak through the past holiday weekend when the Lake conditions cooperated did have some fair action, but many are reporting "it's a bit of a grind." Still a chance of isolated or passing storms through early tomorrow, but the weather ahead looks clearing and more stable. The area is already back to prevailing W and SW winds which could help set things up for better consistency. Coldish water from those E winds has been lurking in the near shore and mid depth ranges but the prevailing winds should help take care of that.
Capt. B. Stevens of Sunrise Charters hasn't been discouraged despite the challenges of the weather like the NE wind last Saturday and the fog Sunday. "Fishing remains okay, good not great and we've been fishing all week. The best bait picture and active fish are scattered from 80 - 300 fow. Pick your level and pound it out. Our fish were coming high and on a deep rigger 80 ft." The Sunrise II has boated some lakers and mixed bag Kings.
Capt. R. Hajecki of the Yankee Troller is ready to get back into them at Point Breeze. He says " we've had a lot of E wind so the most consistent water is offshore. Three hundred to - 400 fow in the top 50 ft should be consistent. Also brown trout seem to be starting to set back up on the inside."
Casters at the piers and upstream areas have caught both some nice smallmouths and pike. Looks like more action on bass then in a good many years. Tubes and crankbaits and jerk baits are all taking fish. Like the trout and salmon having learned how to feed and take advantage of the gobies, it may be that the bass have now turned the tide on the gobie onslaught too!
Target Species:
Salmon, Lake Trout, Brown Trout
