can you back this post up with Wikipedia facts... I have to disagree,why would it effect bass?oneida bass population is just fine,not to mention any goby that comes within a foot of a bed is done ,fish will kill to kill (protect)not just eatbut I'm not looking for a debate if anything Alot of 10-14" fish will be getting bigger faster, as far as fry and spawn beds why would a fish that eats zebra mussels need to venture far from them to eat and near predators at that...as far as walleye population in the river system ,I'm not sure about how bad that is,I do know they have been tough to get to bite as of late ,but I shine my light at night and still see multiple every time I do,yet I only fish oneida river My take is these predators just don't have to cover as much ground to get what they need on a daily(nightly) basis these last couple yrs,when I'm full you won't find me chasing a thing,prob why the river bite is so tough,my question is if you think the population has dropped in the river from goby,but it won't effect the lake ,please explainI have indeed caught walleye in the oneida river with one less fin(hatchery handled),and a few at that..
no debate just honest answers first at wrights landing where we first noticed the gobies really come in thick years ago you can walk the bulkhead and docks and see bass on the beds .....as soon as a bass went to chase one goby 10 swarmed the nest .....and by the way that's exactly what the DEC warned would happen .....second anyone that has fished fulton and phoenix for any length of times remembers when we could simply "walk the wall" with a rapala at night and get a limit of fish .... once the gobys showed in numbers the numbers dropped .....the reason why I think the walleyes will fair better in Oneida then the river is ...number one the hatchery and number two Oneida walleyes spawn up streams and the water is colder the gobies are not up in the streams that early as in the river the eyes mainly spawn in the same water where the gobies live ,now is there any scientific data ...ya there is ...all great lakes states has warned about this happening do I think they will wipe out all native fish ? no do I think they are a pain yes....do I think they have a direct affect on fish populations yes I do and so does the DEC ... but relax the goby will not end life as we know it and destroy all that we love , Obama and Hillary will do that
a page ago you said you weren't a biologist! Sounds like you got your biologist technichian degree to me
you think watching a ugly fish that looks like a pollywog eat eggs out of a bass bed makes someone a biologist? your not the brightest crayon in the box are you?
