ONEIDA LAKE DIEHARDS THREAD...

Yes definitely some familiar names on the leaderboard. 1st and 2nd went to a couple local northshore boys. I didn’t go to the festival but seems like there was a good turnout. Friday night I ended with 5 fish the biggest was 21 1/2. Saturday night was tough at the spot I was at but I managed one at 20”. Was a fun couple of nights of fishing and the new tournament format seemed to be successful

Nice job Bobby! Those are some nice fish.

Thanks Bruce

 Yes sir , Bob that’s a nice fish , biggest I came up with was 20.5” so she now is resting nicely in my freezer 😃

The tournament looked like a great time. I am planning on attending in the future. I hope the weather cooperates for a 2nd consecutive weekend, as we will be
trying our luck for walleyes / perch / crappie Friday and Saturday.  We are staying at Apps Landing and most likely launching out of Godfrey's Point. 

Is it too early to pull worm harnesses?  I've only ever fished Onieda once before and have had limited success with blade baits.

Looking for any tips and tricks for this wonderful fishery.

Thanks in advance,

Jeremy

I know some folks that do well pulling harnesses this time of year.

[JWHORF]

Thanks!
We are going to try a variety of tactics, but on our last trip there was no wind, and it was nearly impossible to get a good drift for the blades.

Always good to have a plan B, C, or D.

Thanks for the input, I really appreciate it.

So now that the spawn is history for 2023 should I bring this up ?    I didn't see any thing in the news about our native friends and their questionable fishing tactics. Did any thing take place ?  Just wondering that's all

No news, is good news!!!😎

Nothing questionable about their techniques in my eyes. Native americans keeping there heritage in tact.  (My grandmother on my dads side was cherokee, her mother was 100% so this is a touchy subject for me)

If the native Americans want to take fish in their traditional methods it would be fine with me provided they use traditional equipment.  This would eliminate using modern waders, metal spears, motorized vehicles and any other modern equipment. None of these were available when the treaties were established.

I agree 100%.  It seems to me the sticking point is these folks are harvesting fish supplanted by the govt and doing so when they are vulnerable to harvest.

   Very good point    still not saying I agree with it but very good point    food for thought
