ONEIDA LAKE DIEHARDS THREAD...

[filetandrelease]

Went out with the wife for some trolling , started about 10:00 , first stop we landed 4 eyes , had to measure every one and they came up short , so the next move was 4.5 miles away with more of the same , 10 more eyes with only 1 good one , plus 6 perch and a white , tossed the perch and the eye back , fun day and not to hot , we had decent cloud cover most of the time

Sticks or spoons?

2 of the eyes were on sticks rest of the fish came on spoons

Nice job Freddy. I went out solo yesterday afternoon in the wind and jigged up a few.

Well done Jake
You would think with all the bait around the eyes would be heavier

[Jakep138]

I agree gonna be a grind this weekend for all of us to get any good weight fish .

  Nice job Jake, and Fred was it that new spoon you posted a few pages back?

Good job Jake and Fred...!  I'm shifting gears and looking to chase some Kings

Good luck with the Kings , some of the guys I know have been doing pretty well the last couple weeks

anyone else notice the pink worms (ABOUT 1/2 TO 1 INCH) these perch and walleyes are spiting up in the live wells this year  , yesterday I found a long white one as well ( 2 inches) . I have never really noticed this before , I am getting about 10 of them with every limit , kind of sketchy lookin ( small type of tape worm? )

[Huntny30]

I have noticed tape worm in almost every Eye and every Lake Trout I have kept this year...prior to this year I had only seen one fish with it and that was an Oneida eye about 2 or 3 years back...

[Huntny30]

I guess the only thing worse for Lake Ontario than Lake Trout over population is a Lake Trout over population with tape worm...

Mayfly larva maybe? They are sort of white and normally 1" - 2" long. Or blood worms?

Nice job Fred and Jake!

I was out last night for a boat ride with the wife and boy. I couldn't resist putting out one lead core for a bit. I lost one good fish in about a half hour of trolling. It was a beautiful night, cool and no bugs!
