The following notice has been posted for Lake Ontario waters:
Remember the area around the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Facility is off limits to boating. The restricted area stretches 1,000 yards offshore and extends from the Alcan plant to the Sunset Bay area along Lake Ontario, east of the city of Oswego.
The following notice has been posted for the Oswego River:
Due to the construction of the NYS Rte. 104 bridge, certain areas of the Oswego River will be restricted to boat traffic. Please watch for signs and buoys.
Oswego River report:
According to Larry Muroski of Larry’s Oswego Salmon Shop:
With the recent rain the water level in the river is running around 4100cfs. The bass fishing continues to be good from Oswego to Minetto and up to Fulton with crayfish the choice bait. Look for walleye along the Westside to the Utica St. bridge and you can find carp throughout the river taking corn and dough bait. Panfish are active near the Marine Museum and the Coast Guard Station on worms, minnows and spikes and there is rockbass activity behind the steam station.
Lake Ontario report:
According to Capt. Troy Creasy of High Adventure Sportfishing Charters:
Charter boat captains are concentrating their efforts on brown trout in 30 to 80 feet of water from Nine Mile Point and a little further north. This area seems to be more active. Trout from 3 to 10 pounds are being caught on a regular basis. Early morning has been the best bite with most fish taking Dreamweaver spoons in the alewife and dolphin patterns. Most fish are coming out of 66 degree water, as it is warm from top to bottom. We need some hard south or east wind to bring the cold water back. The salmon fishing on Lake Ontario continues to be spotty although better catches are being reported each day.
Mexico Bay report:
According to Capt. Gerry Bresadola of B&B Sportfishing Charters:
Fishing has been pretty good the past few days. The Nine Mile bouy line produced some good brown trout action with black and silver Michigan Stingers leading the way. Further to the north the brownies continue to cooperate. A few Chinooks are being landed further off shore. Both species seem to favor an early bite. As July rapidly approaches, more and more kings should be showing up. Also showing up are the dreaded fleas – time to break out the 30lb test.
Salmon River/Pulaski area report:
According to Dave Wood of Woody’s Tackle:
The river is typically quiet this time of year.
On Lake Ontario, bass have been active with the area off Selkirk Shores State Park being a hot spot. Look in 18-20 ft. of water using live bait. Brown trout have been spotty with areas to the north of Port Ontario seeing more action. A few salmon have been taken in deeper water.
Oneida Lake Report:
According to Capt. Troy Creasy of High Adventure Sportfishing Charters:
Oneida Lake fishing is excellent right now, especially on the west end of the lake. You are likely to find pickerel, bass, catfish and perch with a spinner and a worm being the bait to use. Buoy 113 was hot for me last week in 36 ft. of water. Slowly walk the dog with black jigs or a sonar. If you’re trolling, Buoy 21 north to Catfish Hole is holding a good amount of walleye as well. Purple and black Hot-n-Tots and Jr. thundersticks are working well at a depth of 25-38 ft.
Sandy Pond Report:
According to Dave Wood of Woody’s Tackle and Capt. Troy Creasy of High Adventure Sportfishing:
The weeds are getting thick on the pond but you can still find some good northern pike action. It’s a good idea to fish near deep weedlines. Start with a lively presentation such as crankbaits or spinners. Troll them right near the edge of the weeds. If this doesn’t produce try some weedless lures and fish right through the lily pads and weed beds. Make sure you use a heavy leader or even a steel leader as their teeth will cut most fishing line. There has also been some bass activity reported.
