I just fished Oneida for the first time in a few years. For what it's worth, I used to fish it more than I do of late, but I've never really known the lake that well, although I've had fair luck there. On Saturday morning, I fished for 4 hours or so and picked up one good perch, a few small perch, 2 keeper walleye (15-16") and probably a dozen shorts. I have no doubt that there are plenty of keepers in the lake, but when I got there, the lake was dead calm and the bite from bigger fish was basically non-existent. I'm anxious to get back though, it's clear there are a lot of fish in the lake.
I started in 35-40 feet of water jigging, caught a few small fish. Then I started trolling in 30-40 feet of water with very limited luck, even for small fish. Finally I moved in to 10-15 feet of water and took the 2 keepers and a couple of shorts that were also close to being legal.
