Fishing Update May 2 , 2008
LakeOntario-Happy turkey hunting, and we hope you enjoy the time in the woods.
The LOC Spring Derby starts today, and the leader board is available on locderby.org
The northeast wind and high water has created a nice mudline for the browns. Fish close to shore and look for the temperature breaks next to stream and in front of the bays. The hot lures are the usual stickbaits...Jr. Thunderstiks, Rapalas, and Yo-Zuris. Pick your favorite and fish back 100 feet.
Some steelhead and cohos were coming from 100 feet of water, and there have been reports of some nice kings. The derby leader board will let you know what's coming for Wayne County waters.
Streams-Recent rains have kept the streams alive and well with a few steelhead still being caught. Most of the chrome fish are in the lake.
Bays- Pike and walleye open tomorrow morning. Sodus Bay will be the place to catch the pike. Fish the islands and any drop-offs. Use the standard spoons or white heavy jigs. Walleyes also prefer the island in Sodus Bay. Blind Sodus Bay is another great location for pike. Fish the south end. Find last year's weedlines and fish the cover.
Port Bay has a few monsters, however Sodus is the best bet for pike.
Canal-Perch, bluegills, and sunnies are in the canal. The crappies are still being caught near Port Gibson.
