Lake Ontario:
After a bit of rough water early in the week, conditions have settled down with light winds expected for the weekend. The brown trout bite continues. Trolling spoons off the downriggers in 30-60 feet of water is working well. Bass anglers are anxiously awaiting the opening of the season on Saturday. A few salmon have been found in the deeper water, 120-160 feet, and the walleye bite remains good.
Oswego River:
According to Larry Muroski of Larry’s Oswego Salmon Shop:
With bass season opening on Saturday, anglers should find some action with nightcrawlers, bucktail jigs, leeches and stickbaits. Walleye continue to be active both day and night throughout the river. Sheephead are responding to nightcrawlers and carp are taking nightcrawlers and corn. Look for panfish and perch between Lock 8 and Lock 7 using worms and spikes. Look for rockbass, bluegills, perch and crappies near the floating dock by the blue crane at Wright’s Landing and in front of Breitbeck Park near a blue crane.
