Lake Ontario, Oneida Lake Fishing Report 6/06/07

The brown trout fishing along the eastern shoreline of Lake Ontario continues to be red hot. We are fishing 20 to 50 FOW and trolling black & silver smithwicks off of planerboards and adding about 1/4 ounce of weight on the line to get the bait down a few more feet. Dreamweaver and Raider spoons in the alewife pattern, 6 to 40 down on the riggers and off of leadcore have been real good once the sun comes up. The afternoon bite has been challenging as the fish feed hard all morning and then just shut down.

Offshore fishing is spotty with some decent catches of steelhead and cohos if you put your time in.

I am fishing Oneida Lake just about everyday and we continue to pound on the walleye. I have been concentrating my efforts on the eastern end between the canal and Messengers reef, as well as the northeast corner. Areas arond bouys 109 to 113 are holding fish. The deep water jigging program has set up nicely and good catches of 18 to 23 inch fish have been the norm on all of our recent outtings. Sonars in perch, silver and gold are working throughout the day. There is no need to torture yourself fishing at night. Early morning or late afternoons are producing plenty of fish.

I am back on the big pond tomorrow and will have a freash report for the weekend.

Se you out there, Troy

Nice smallmouth like this one are very abundant on Lake Ontario waters, The fish look much healthier this year too!!

 June is shaping up as another fine month to catch fish. We add bass to the agenda soon and it basically comes down to what do you want to catch?
