ONEIDA LAKE DIEHARDS THREAD...

[Old Timer]

East end been pretty slow for us all summer but starting to produce.  Fished with son from 8 until 12:30.  About all an 84 year old needed…… Landed 16 eyes and had 5 quick releases at the boat. Kept 4 nice eaters… All the action stopped around 11 when the sun came out.  Hard baits and blades. Nota fish on a jig.  An 18+ inch smallie even hit a hard bait. 
Shore night bite should pick up in a couple weeks.

Old timer sounds like a good day, hope I can still get out at 84. Congrats on a great day fishing.

Maybe Herbert Hoover was right when he said.  “The gods do not deduct from mans allotted span the time spent fishing”. 
I’m certainly blessed with still being able to get around well and to have a couple sons who take  their old man fishing whenever he wants to go. Can still tie lures on, tie my own jigs, clean the catch and enjoy every minute on Lady Oneida.   
I wish all of you a long life with lots of fishing.
