Pier and Shore fishing Lake Ontario

[HOOAHEXTREME]

I'm looking for some good fishing on Lake Ontario off piers or shorelines, from Oswego and North. Does anyone have an idea of someplace good.

This time of year is tough if you are looking for trout and salmon because most are out of reach, but come september you should start to see salmon within your reach. Oswego pier, walls of the salmon river where it meets the lake are decent spots

With the warm temps of recent years, pier fishing times have been pushed back. Try the second and third weekends in September. Keep an eye on the weather......if you get the lake to roll-over due to a NE blow and cooling night temps, they can be on the doorstep probing the shallows in late August-labor day. The river water temps usually are too warm to run at that time so they don't stay long. Earliest date I caught a salmon off a pier was August 23rd, but that was after a NE blow in the late 80's. The temperatures have definitely changed.

I'd be happy to catch any species of fish. I looked at the map and saw a long wall that extends out on the south of the Salmon River. Can fishermen go out there.

Yes they can, and many do. May I suggest that if you are interested in fishing out in the lake, go to www.loc.org and buy an adult fall derby ticket. There always guys looking for people to jump on board during those times. Also look at the topic Open Seats and post there
