Hey guys wanted to know if anyone has tried or will be trying to salmon fish from piers on any of the western piers of Lake ontario? I'm a long time salmon/steelhead guy with a craving for some spoon chucking. I know it's been hot but lastlittlw bit has been raining and nights not been to hot. I was wondering if anyone is as crazy as me for some salmon action that they are gunna try or have tried already. Any info no names just yes or no would be great. Plus this year the spring for steelhead was early and was wondering if salmon would be the same. Thanks tight lines.

Has anyone here actually gone out and tried yet or seen anything? ive seen posts from last year saying an "east trib" was filled with salmon by this time.

Yes most years eastern tribs see fish first in my opinion. Few years ago I went with my dad and buddy we saw fish in an eastern river early/mid august. Western didn't get fish that year till September. I'll try a few wester piers once we get a good rain and a few cooler nights. I think it's gunna be early this year not much early but early just a hunch. We shall see tho looks like it's gunna start cooling down that with a nice Rian should get stuff moving.

I think its still pretty hot for salmon. The action will pick up once it cools down.

I'm out on Lake ontario every weekend. The end of June beginning of July I caught some Atlantics in the river and at the mouth. Surface Temps were 52°F-60°F. Caught alot of steelies and king's in real tight.
However over the last 2 weeks, surface Temps have jumped up to about 72°F at all 3 ports I fish. I have not caught anything I tight since the Temps have shot up. All fish that I have been marking are 200-300fow and close to the bottom. It will take some serious wind change and some real cool night before they come close again .

I'm not saying weather don't gotta change for fish to push in but in my opinion it don't take long to change. Few cool nights and daytime highs go lower abit and mix in some rain game on. Plus fish gotta come in sooner or later they gotta spawn eventually. We will see soon enough guys I still think sooner then later as long as the heat drops abit and like I said cooler nights and rain. But I have caught fish on the piers this early in the year and more then once so we see.

There's fish to be had off the piers even now. I know of a retired gentleman who lives on the beach strip and fishes at the drawbridge all summer long.
Nice rainbows and browns fishing roe bags off the bottom.

I was watching this stupid Robson Green extreme fishing show and some guy in the Philippines (maybe some other episode), seems to think the best fishing is had 4 days before the new moon. Maybe I'll try that out.
