Here we go again! This is the earliest ice out in as long as i can remember so lets get on the water you diehards!
-
Cant say i ever fished Oneida! always wanted to, father in law and his buddies made the Pilgrimage every year (from Buffalo area) but it fizzled out. maybe i can talk them into it this year.
is there anywhere to camp with access to the lake? any sugestions? that said, has anyone ever hit the water in a canoe? if they dont go thats what i am stuck with.
i would totally want to stay over if i have to drive almost 3hrs to get there.
thx!

verona beach state park has tent site's or a quick google search of onieda lake camps will put you in the right direction a canoe can be very tricky on onieda it can go from flat as glass to 3 footer's in the blink of a eye hope this help's ya ;)

Oneida Shores also, west end, some decent fishing, more importantly most (not all you still have to watch) of the bad blows are out of the W or SW leaving that corner of the lake the least likely to be problematic for a canoe. Within 1000yards of the park eye's, bass, pickeral, smallies, & HUGE pumpkin seeds can be found without too much trouble.
-
Thanks guys thats a start. i was actually looking for more of suggestions then locations. i am sure there are plenty of places to shack up around the lake just looking for the places people like.
Maybe i will see ya out there sometime. i will be the guy in the swamped canoe...ha-ha

Anybody think the bullheads will start early?

Went to the canal today around 3pm and fished til 7pm, steady pick at the eyes all afternoon, I put 14 on the cement and dumped a pile more, great weather day, felt like old times fishing with my best friend Lam baste em, he lived up to his name...he lambasted them, he was beating me 11 to 7 when we went in different directions... Fished the last hour with fishinaddict and his son...good times... he smashed em as well....Jigged 5/8 oz bucktails aggressively, brown and orange first, then switched to black and purple tipped with plastic.. I see my buddy Dave has alot of people switched over to plastics, 12 yrs I been fishin the canal, first time I've ever seen anyone but us using it.... ;D
Few pics....

great pics snagg to show off a great day. The boy landed his first steelhead sun and went 5-5 on eyes today

Nice job on the eyes SNAGGER and crew!!!
I took today off and decided to try hitting The Big O and The little O in the same day with my mom. She loves fishing for browns.
We ended up hitting 11 browns this morning and quit at noon. We missed and dropped a ton.
Here are the ones we kept.

This was the last one we caught and released before we left.

Then a little before 4 we dumped the boat in on the East end of Oneida. We had a slow pick of eyes until sunset. We tripled on our last pass. We ended up catching 8 keeper eyes.

While I was fishing the canal with shane today, I looked over at my son and he said to I will show you guys talking about me and shane... He then took one of his cookies and hooked it on the jig he was fishing with. I LMAO I dont think it lasted when it got wet :D
-
How great is that. :thumbup_smilie: Already trying to figure out new ways to tip his jig to get an edge on the ole man. :w00t:

Just stupid silly numbers tonight .... I saw well over 200 wallys landed tonight , did easily my PB 47 and my bud did 34 . Way to end the season guys ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Fished the canal this morning / early afternoon , must have just missed you Snagg did 1 there .

Great reports gents. Nice to see everyone having success. Time for me to go up North a bit now that walleye is closed, get a few more lessons from the river boys....to continue teaching me that aspect of angling. Never too proud to learn from the seasoned vets. Also not one of those guys looking for a back pocket handout on fish either. LOTS OF GOOD MENTORS HERE, AND ALSO PLENTY OF PEOPLE WAITING FOR SUCCESS REPORTS, JUST SO THEY CAN JUMP IN THERE WAKE AND GOBBLE UP WHATS LEFT OF NUMEROUS HOURS OF TRIAL AND ERROR.....PLENTY OF 0 NIGHTS, THEN WHEN SUCCESS HITS.....EVERYONE WANTS TO BE YOUR FRIEND. GETS OLD DOESN'T IT GUYS?

Gotta love those people that suddenly blow up your phone as soon as they find out that you caught some fish and then they stick to you like glue until you put them on fish. Worst part is that they NEVER offer any first hand info or offer to pick you up and take you fishing at one of their good spots.

Way to go... ;D

Very Impressive reports fellas!!! I couldn't make it out because of work and family stuff, but I sent a friend there. He and a buddy beat em up pretty good for about 3 hours... FM, after I manage to get a couple of good Crappie outings under my belt, maybe we'll hook up and fish drop-backs with the float rod. I've got a couple of new custom colored beads I want to try out.

You did those numbers at the Sylvan beach canal DD ?

Worst part is that they NEVER offer any first hand info or offer to pick you up and take you fishing at one of their good spots.
I get ride offers out on the ice all the time by people I've never met before, tons of info given back about there homewaters in return for a few tips on Oneida that I share. I usually find my own fish, but its very nice of them to offer...I'm not saying blow up a little spot or anything by any means, but you can plainly see where I was fishing yesterday, its no secret, I helped out a few guys down there and some kids as well....
-
You did those numbers at the Sylvan beach canal DD ?
I would be willing to bet that there was some good action to be had fishing some of the creeks yesterday like Scriba creek. It was like somebody flipped a switch on Wednesday and a pile of fish started to run.

Nope north shore ;)

I have my share of tough days and I usually post them too. This year I got lucky to make the right decisions at the right times, at least most of the time.

nice job at the beach guys i guess i should have gone before work not after i work 2nd and went after work a couple nights ago and couldnt buy a fish in the 4 hours i was there

Nice posts guys! Good to see everyone poundin on the eyes til the bitter end! I hit the canal thurs nite and managed a zero. Then picked up one on my way home at another spot. Wish i could of met up with u last nite DD, looks like u and Dave put a hurtin on them!
-
Hey Drowndindots....you and your buddy look familiar from yesterday morning at the canal. I fished the north side all the way down the end by that little building. Tough bite, but i landed five keepers from sunup 'til about 10, jigging plastics, kept 3 males and let 2 nice females go. The highlight of my morning was giving a young kid, who played fish hookey and was really trying hard without a bite.... i gave him a pointer and a plastic i was getting bites on.....then bam! he caught a nice 191/2 incher. He was super happy, and so was his dad. I left there to try and launch my drift boat way west for perch...but the wind kicked upand changed direction so i headed back home. You just gotta love Oneida lake. I'm glad you found the wally's later and hammered them ....good job.....See ya in MAY !!!...choo-choo
-
Yep Choo , that was us . Deadeyez we missed ya bud Dave was lookin forward to seein ya ;D

Yep, Noticed that myself when i went by yesterday. But im sure the lake is still shallow in spots, and you could find yourself missing a lower unit?

Finally!! do you think they were waiting for walleye season to close ??? or did they wake up from hibernation :o
-
just a thought maybe because there is no run off , and it only took them this long to realize there isn't any white stuff on the ground ???

All Dams are closed in Caudenoy except for one in the middle. Fished lock 23 with a bunch of locals today after the shop shut down. Man we could have fallen asleep easily. Weather was perfect and fish were allready sleeping. Another big zero for me, but I didn't care, just enjoying the great weather and company.

Was on Oneida today doing some fishing, lakes up quite a bit, good 15 inches since Thursday, only saw 4 other boats, I was suprised, 80 degrees, a weekend..light breeze...great day out there, didn't take a water temp, still had the ice ducer on the lowrance, Just by touch, i'd say high 40's.... it was warm... never sweated to death on a boat before in March.
-
I went on a search trip, covered a lot of ground, it was like the dead sea. Very few boats out, I motored out to the middle of nowhere so I could take a nap and not drift into shore...woke up to voices...couple guys casting next to me... I swear, boats are like duck decoys :P
-
I went out at first light Sunday also. Godfrey is very low but was able to get out. Went looking for perch but none to be found. Did a little cruising to get boat ready for year. Saw only 1 other boat out. Hope to try next weekend. Water temp ranged from 42 near shore to 38 out in middle. Came off water about 10.
-
Good fishing Saturday, got ran off the lake as we had 100 by 1:30. Fishing in 70 degree weather out of the boat in March, I like it. Crappies and bluegills soon i'm hoping.

Got out of south shore launch yesterday, shallow but I was able to get out, lake is rising. Had blast out there, what a perfect day. Water was 43 by shore and 39 out farther. Looks like your finger was accurate snagger.

I caught well over 100. anything under 8" went back to swim another day. just about every cast i'd catch one ;D ;D. how did you make out this afternoon lance? I'm going to try big bay in the a.m. the water level is getting better. about a foot to go before we are at normal level. suface water temp. was 48 today. later...
-
Good job Sully :thumbup_smilie:
-
What a day today was. Just finished a heaping plate of fried sunny fillets, I kept a dozen for dinner and put everything else back. The variety and amount of fish I saw today was just amazing, I spent most of my time in 4' or less and was working 1/32 oz jigs on the ultra light.
-
Has anyone heard of bullhead biting yet?
-
Well they are biteing good , not great ... low water .
-
Slow for us Sully, Coach did catch and release an imbred walleye (had double fins on one side) on a small jig. I think he said she was spawned out allready. Picked up six or seven bullhead also as night turned on. I'll load a pic. of that walleye later.
-
fished for 2 hours this morning in big bay. got 27 big gills all over 8". 1 was 12 1/8" :o. also got 14 big crappies !! it was a great morning. a lite chiily breeze started about 9:30, and they shut off like a switch. lance get your but over to big bay !!! later...
-
fished with wallyeyebob this morning. went to big bay. 1 crappie, and 3 gills. left there, and went to polar. got 21 gills, no crappies. it was a nice morning. later...

-

It is a location on the lake.

fished big bay creek this morning. got 22 nice gills, and sunnies. it was a little rough crossing the lake. east wind is still blowing. i'll bet that the bullheads will be on tonight on the north west shore. later...

North West shore was dead.
Fished 2hrs and had 3 light hits. No takers. They just tap the bait once and drop it. Water is still to low for my area.
-
I fished muskrat bay last night and got 15 but the bite was real slow and this cold weather isnt going to help one bit.
-
We fished the east end yesterday morning. The Rock Bass bite was HOT! We threw a couple rods out with worms and a couple with fat heads. They liked the fat heads hands down. Couldn't find any other flat fish or bullhead.
-
Fished NEast end in 8 feet and plugged away at the perch but only kept 30 out of 150 at least. Many dinks and the water was murky so couldn't sight fish like earlier in the week. Several pickerel too. Fished in the afternoon during the lay down and wind switch.
-
Still better than most have been doing mcully. Keep up the good work.
-
fished big bay this morning for a couple of hours. got 4 pickerals. the water temp has them shut down for now. it was beautiful out there. later...
-
the lake has about 6" to go before it's back to normal level. later...
-
Only 2 more weeks til the opener. ;D

8)... Tell ya what...May & June, I'm going to make up for lost time the last 6 months... ;D
-
Only get the chance to get from Albany to Oneida a few times a year, both hard and soft water. Want to try Toad Harbor for crappie. Was told two things, one a boat is not needed, and two, it is a very short window of
opportunity and it is very close to closing. I know alot is weather dependent but in general? I am on a job with daily work through the 7th of May, does the run contiue beyond that? I call Charley's for up to date info,but they were is a bit of a better hurry mode. Thanks for any news.
-
May and June on Oneida and then take to different waters....can't wait. We are moving to another house next weekend north around the B-ville-Meridian area so there are going to be different bodies of water. I would love to start figuring out the BIG O for those salmon and trout (just for fun).
-
Only 2 more weeks til the opener. ;D
Yessir... Have ya put a game plan together yet? I have two this year, all dependant on water levels. Last year, I only had one plan, and I got burnt. That's why I ask. ;)

. the populas of syracuse has over run its shoreline. go to big bay creek at west end. you need a boat

Slips are burnt out, waste of time. My shop is within 5ish miles from there. I think I made a comment on the BS thread about them. If ya go, have fun, but don't blame me for a waste of time. Being honest.

Been packed and ready for walleye since last fall. ;D Hope to see you guys in 2 weeks. I need a walleye fix.

Cant wait for the opener. My boat will be ready by then and all I have to do is launch in Cicero and drift all day and night.

Either chapman Park on the south shore or apps on the north shore , either way its a 2 mile boat ride . Good luck .

Why would you offer any spots that don't even have a launch and even more misleading that they're further away from Shackleton Shoals than more convenient and legitimate launches. I don't know that lake too well yet but I've been to the DEC South Shore Launch in Briggs Bay several times already. It's just a short ride outside of Dutchmans island to Shackleton Shoals.

The DEC South Shore Boat launch would probably be your best bet, you may want to get there early it could get a little CRAZY opening day.

Stood next to my buddy last week at the Toad Harbor Slips and watched him pull 8 nice crappies out in less than 20 casts.
He said too many people rely on a jig below a bobber to catch fish in that spot. If they don't catch fish that way, they leave and say the place is dead.
He caught them by dragging the bottom with a snagless rig that he makes with a dropper a few feet above it with his lure tied to the dropper lead.
He starts with a long dropper lead and shortens it up if the fish are deeper. Seemed to work pretty good for him.
I went fish less with a jig, bobber and minnows.

south shore launch would be shorter and like the old coach said earlier , i like the launch at godfrey's and that will be a zoo to , think maybe this year i will let Mrs. filet charge some of the guys on lessons on how to launch a boat , last 2 she asked last year if they needed help got all psst off , and coach somebody asked if she was in a hurry and she told them not at all we can only keep 6 ;D now you know where release came from ;)

Didnt start til late may/june last year so im excited to be ready to go for opening weekend! I got the dock and boat in on friday during the great weather just in time for the rain and cold! at least its ready though.Cant wait to just roll out of bed,put the hoist down and be out there! should be a great year!

It won't be long now!
Water levels are actually above the target levels now. They actually aren't far off from where they were 1 year ago. That is really hard to believe.

Water levels in Oneida are looking good ! Was fishing a local marina with a buddy yesterday and he mentioned that the water level was actually a bit higher than normal based on how close the water was to the bottom of the docks.
He also noted that everything below the dam at Caughdenoy was brutally low. Feast or famine !

Ooo ooo. I know, I know! You find someone who rents camps, then you discuss a price, you pay that amount of money, they give you keys. While there you enjoy the lake.
Did I get it right?

On a serious note a little more info os needed.

-
Ok, there's a singlewide mobile home that's decent, 2bdrm fully furnished, just bring linens & food.
Deck & gas grill, close enough to the lake you can spit & hit water. Wide open view. Fish can be caught right from shpre there. Most of the fishing hotspots are within a couple mins by boat. Swimming is decent. Dock & boat lift maybe available depending on what week. $375/wk.
-
You can also try Apps.
-
Give Apps landing a call in Cleveland, 315 675 8334.......theres cabin rentals just down the road near Godfrey too, I think its called abc cottages.
-
I'd try App's first. They'll provide accommodations and put you on top of any species of fish you want.

Exactly. Off shore, I typically use a worm on a #2 hook with a 1/2 oz sinker in the dropshot configuration. Slower moving murky water works best......the're allover the place.

Maybe they should start an "ALL IN FUN" section so the people looking for legitimate information don't have to wade through pages of nonsense. True, there are people who ask repetitive questions when first joining any website but do they deserve to get hammered on ? I'm sure you knew everything you ever needed to know right out of the womb or never asked any questions that others thought were senseless or a waste of their time ?????

Ease up Pal....! Maybe you should be made a Mod? What did I type that made you go off the deep end ?
A guy asked where the bullies are biting. I said everywhere!!!! And they are. I didn't hammer on no one, even close to the way you just hammered on me.

I simply said everyone gets in a knot this time of year unless they're hitting the pans and trout, waiting for the walleye opener. I'm all good friends, just having fun. Don't know what all the fuss is about.

I took Nick out last Sunday. From sunrise until we left we had birds gobbling all over, but we only had a hen come in to our set up. We looked like Abbot and Costello in that blind once that bird came in! Thank god it wasn't a jake or heaven forbid a tom, we would have both had a heart attack!

I'd have paid good money to have been a fly on the wall of that blind! If you want a hand calling them up let me know. I'll bring my secret weapon. :evil:

It's tough now. No hunting this weekend, and next weekend is walleye season. We'll probably go again on the 12th. It would be a heck of a ride for you, we could do a mid morning hunt if ya wanted.

Who cares about those d**n walleyes. :whistling: We've got turkeys to kill! Seriously, kill a bird or 2 in the morning then go beat up on walleyes the rest of the day. Let me know when you're going to hunt. I'd most likely be up for an early morning wake up. Getting up is a whole lot easier these days. ;) ;D

You know I'm a fisherman that hunts. We'll definitely have to get together. Nick's really into hunting, and I want to support that any way I can.

i read that some perch were caught in canal at sylvan beach are any being caught from shore at pier at sylvan or boat only?

The ones we caught a few days ago were off the north side wall of the canal down near the end of the parking area. A couple others were getting a few east of us but the wind kept everyone in check that day.

thanks for the info munson greatly appreciated!

Anybody trying the new umbrella rigs this weekend either trolling or casting? Might be fun for the fall bite if you can rig it light enough to reel it slow. I imagine ripping it this summer over smallies could get multiple fish.

I'm pumped for the opener tomorrow. My first ever oneida lake walleye opener. I've been in the area about 5 years now and just this past fall got into wading for the eyes.
Do the shoreline spots get pretty crowded at midnight on the opener?

Some do, some dont. Not as bad as primetime in the fall...

Thanks for the reply DC
-
I will see you guys there. I will be on land. ;D
-
It looks like they took the rain out of the forecast. Light north winds both days. We'll see how that pans outs. I am not a huge fan of a north wind. Along with the full moon it could be a challange.
-
I'M SO CONFUSED! ;D
I'm tempted to head out tonight at midnight with the boat, but that rarely pans out. OR, I may head to the lake in the early morning and be on the spot before sun up. That sounds more realistic. Get a couple hours in and head home to get some work done around the house, then head back to the lake for the afternoon with the wife. They're out there somewhere!

I second what DC said. Wading in the spring rarely gets as crowded as the fall, but it IS opening weekend so everyone and their brother are going to be out on the water somewhere. By next weekend things should settle down.

good luck to all Mrs.filet and are just going out for an enjoyable boat ride

spent 6-11 out there. one keeper eye and 5 pickeral and a few sunnies. didnt see a whole lot going on on the east end. I think I wouldve been better off just sitting on my dock and casting rapalas then heading out in the boat. didnt see a bass or a drum which was really odd. It was alot colder than I planned,my trolling motor died and the main motor was beeping at me all day. New boat comes in 3 weeks! This was my first opener,last year I didnt start until the end of may. I threw everything I had out there and moved a decent amount.Tried 12-18 ft of water then 20-30. Was surrounded by boats off fenchmans from 530am to 930 and saw about 3 eyes netted. Cant wait to get back out there tomorrow and figure out why I suck
-
Bright morning & slow catch rates are to be expected. Several limits taken I know of, 1 in about 1/2 hour.
-
Team Carppie and HT 5 walleyes smallest was 17 and some nice Sunnys and Perch... ;D
-
Got a decent limit on the far west end... drifting in 16 FOW in the channel. Using a leech on a bare hook.
-
Went out with my g/f this morning. Started at daybreak and quit at 2:30. Ended up with 15 eyes (14 keepers and 1 short), two yellow and one white perch. We got a few jigging the shallow shoals (9 fow) at daybreak with a purple/black bucktail. The rest came from structure in 21 - 26 fow, mostly on a 5/8 oz. chartreuse sonar. Seemed like the bite died when the sun came out for good. Losing the wind didn't help either. The wind picked back up as we were headed in. Kept 6 eyes from 17 1/2" to 20".
Ran into ol' Hollywood and company out there. Nice to see you again Tom. We were within 50 yards of the last place we met at last fall! ;)

Good to see you out there again too, Mr. Hookinup!
Fished with my Dad & a buddy from 9-3, got 4 before it went flat then it got tough. Wind picked back up about 2 and we finished around 3. We got most on sonars but my buddy took the last few on jigs. Everyone I talked to today headed in with a limit.
My Dad, Cubby & I with a few...

Nice job guys!
I fished with my wife this morning from daylight until noon. The weather was nice. It took us until about 11:30 to jig up a limit. It was a slow pick all morning with a couple of whites mixed in. These were taken in 14' - 22' on bucktails.

geez you guys are killin me with the 'everybody i talked to limited' stuff haha. after getting into walleye for the first time last year and having such great success in late may and june i was pumped to get out there this morning. figured with all the spawning early talk my late may knowledge would help me out but not at all! i was surrounded by boats on the west end but just didnt work out for me.givin up on the derby and headin out monday morning to try to figure this out
-
The night bite is good, Just got off the phone with my brotherinlaw and he has his limit right now and his dad is working on his. The full moon seems to not effect the bite tonight. Trolling with sticks.

Thanks Sully, for letting us put the boat in at your place. the onshore fish fry was fantastic !! :bowdown: FM didnt get wet this time , He even caught more fish than me (every squirrel finds a nut once in a while) :P who could ask for anything more. sshhh......whisper, FM is in quiet time right now :laugh:
-
geez you guys are killin me with the 'everybody i talked to limited' stuff haha..................... to try to figure this out
To be fair here, the guys I was talking to were charter captains or guys that could be if they chose to....average years of fishing Oneida...about 30, maybe more. And every one struggled badly fishing from the boats last year on the opener. All were fishing in different parts of the lake yesterday.
Here are a few thoughts I hope will help you in figuring it out...
1) Think about where you're fishing & why. Yesterday morning I thought about the rain we had, the colored water coming in the lake and where the wind had likely piled that up...and thats where we started.
2) Don't worry about where all the other boats are fishing.
3) Have a decent fish finder & get confidence in what it's telling you. If there are fish there, figure out what they want. If they're not there- move, sooner than later.
4) From a boat, in water over 12', choose between jigs or sonars. One or the other will work but some days they prefer one over the other- mix it up. In shallower water, over weeds or at night add stickbaits or rattlebaits to the menu.
5) With jigs or sonar- if you feel a hit (or even just extra weight, like you picked up a weed, REEL until the rod loads up, then give a short hookset. Trying to set the hook with 40 yards of line out will lose you every fish but the ones that took it so deep they hooked themselves.
6) You'll "figure it out" a little bit with every trip you make (IF you're thinking about what happened & why things worked or didn't work, why they were here but not there, etc.). But no matter how many years you fish out there, there will be days that lake will baffle the crap out of you, they just get further apart...and that helps keep it fun! Good luck!

I am curious. I bought a ticket to the oneida walleye tourney put on by the lions club I believe. On the opening night i went 2/3 one keeper one short. The keeper was 16".
On saturay night I got one nice smallie, lost something big and landed one walleye after dark. It was slightly over 23", maybe 23 1/8". We ate it last night. Should I have entered this fish? I have no idea what size fish has a shot of winning anything. I didn't figure even 23" + would have a chance and didn't think It would have been worth the hassle to try and keep alive with no boat/live well.
Would you guys have entered it? I'm just thinking for future years of what the minimum size would be to bother entering a fish

I am curious. I bought a ticket to the oneida walleye tourney put on by the lions club I believe. On the opening night i went 2/3 one keeper one short. The keeper was 16".
On saturay night I got one nice smallie, lost something big and landed one walleye after dark. It was slightly over 23", maybe 23 1/8". We ate it last night. Should I have entered this fish? I have no idea what size fish has a shot of winning anything. I didn't figure even 23" + would have a chance and didn't think It would have been worth the hassle to try and keep alive with no boat/live well.
Would you guys have entered it? I'm just thinking for future years of what the minimum size would be to bother entering a fish
I would have entered it...You never know.
-
I agree with Reeleyz , 23 is a good one from Oneida .
-
Fished this morning with my cousin. We jigged up 11 eyes, 8 keepers and 2 yellows by 9:30. All in 14' -23'. Mostly on bucktails, one on a sonar.
Great weather AND great fishing this weekend!!!
-
IDK but I missed alot of short hits and landed 2 walleyes about 17 inches a piece. Nothing to place in the derby. My cousin bobby precourt is in 4th in the tourney right now. a 23 1/2 inch fish so you would have been at least in the top 7.
-
Had a great Walleye opener with a bunch of good guys, fished on my buddy ryans boat Saturday and Jimmy from Pa's boat Sunday, tons of action is all I can say, heres the 35 we kept, plus threw atleast double that back. Too many to count really with 6 guys and 2 days... Just a great time in great weather.;D

nice fish guys :thumbup_smilie:

:o Holy Smokes! :o That's a nice pile of fish. :o Great job guys!! :o Lots of skillet poppers! LOL
We had a good day too ... not as great as Snagger and company ... but lots of fun.
We landed 22 eyes, two yellows and two whites. Almost every one of them were 16 - 18". Had an unacceptable amount of misses and rolled fish today. Gotta figure it out. Gonna need some more practice, I guess. :w00t:
The black/purple bucktail out-performed the sonar today ... which is unusual for me. We got into a big pod of walleyes, and I couldn't make a single one eat the sonar, but they smashed the bucktail. Could've used a little more wind at times.
Gonna be a great season boys!!

It was great fishing with you guy's this weekend. Let hope we get the same weather for next weekend so we could put the beatdown on them again.

Had a blast with you guys. Redeemed myself from the night before. Had 6 before sundown. Did loose my favorite XRAP. The sacrifice was worth it. ;D Thanks for bringing your boats Big Jim and Night Fisher.

Nice fish guys!!!
I fished with Hollywood this afternoon and had a blast! He is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to walleye. I tried to be a sponge and absorb as much info as I could. We made several drifts and landed 20 eyes with 4 (if I remember correctly) being shorts. I used a bucktail as he threw a sonar. We almost broke even on fish caught but they preferred the sonar a little more. One of my best trips on Oneida! Can't wait to fish with him and Cubby again!
I'm sure he'll post some more pics and any info I might be forgetting.

Nice job Spike, HW, Hookinup, SNAGGER and crew!
I havent seen an opening weekend this good in a long time. I hope this bite continues.
Was the water temp warmer than normal or close to normal? I was showing around 52* both days.
-
That was a fun trip, Spike. It's not all the time out there you can nail a limit too quickly, set a goal of 20, hit that and be back home in a few hours.
Great bite going on this weekend!
-
We had a good weekend also. I like the fact that the huge Sunnys hit 1/2 Oz jigs! Fished last night with a Friend we hit 15 large Sunfish in 11 FOW and 1 sub walleye a few bass and toothy things lol.
-
nice looking fish guys. looks like we all did well this past weekend 8) 8)
-
water temp on the west end was 55, and 56 both days. took my niehbors son out yesterday afternoon. taught him how to jig, and he got his first walleye !!! he was pumped !! it was great to get another one hooked ;D ;D ;D. later...
-
Had a good weekend. We didn't kill them, but we did limit out both days. Sonars in 20ish fow did the trick for us.

-
I saw 58+ on friday night at the canal in sylvan beach area.
I had 56 on the north shore from launch out a ways.

by the way guys there is a dead head sticking up east of 109 about 300 yrds , sorry it was busy when i saw it unable to get back on it with gps cords , only reason i saw it was due to the dump ducks perched on it

There was one a bit farther East than that last year- big enough to leave a mark- wonder if it moved a bit? That's a pretty high traffic spot to have a hazard like that hangin' out.

How true. Friday was 0 for 0 The boat held 1000lbs and still was afloat. Not bad. Thanks again for the ride Jim. I had a blast as always. Ball busting is part of the game ;D

EyeDoctor, I fished to Cicero area and had to work for them as well.What a pain in the ass lol

Great reports gents. Good to see a bunch of success for the opening weekend. Coach and I found a fish or two also.!! ;)
-
Fished in my buddies boat from 9pm-1230 tonight, stiff south winds and a driving rain made it difficult in the dark, I managed to land 4 eyes, dumped 3 more, all on 1/4 oz. jigs. no crazy bite tonight for me.
-
Interesting water temps. ??? We were off Cleveland on Saturday and found 49f everywhere we went. Was anyone else watching water temps?
On the east end, in Fish Creek, the canal, and out in the south east part of the lake I was averaging 57 degrees. That's 10 degrees warmer than it had averaged the past two weeks. May have been due to the rains we had last week.
by the way guys there is a dead head sticking up east of 109 about 300 yrds , sorry it was busy when i saw it unable to get back on it with gps cords , only reason i saw it was due to the dump ducks perched on it
I ran across that too, and the birds perched on it was the only reason it caught my eye. It was probably 3-400 yards due west from the mouth if the canal.
-
I hit one of those dead heads a couple of years ago and messed up my gears in my lower unit, because there was no visible damage the insurance company wouldn't cover it. I told them if I knew that I would have took a sledge hammer to it, I also said thanks for the info it will come in handy for me or anyone else I know in the future. LOL

Try Progressive insurance, Hit a deadhead in Canada a few years ago at full power. Busted up the prop, broke the skeg. Hung a new
prop to finish out the trip. Couldn't throttle up cause of a vibration. Called them when we got back. They paid me for a tear down of the lower unit , sent out an adjuster, she actually used a micrometer on the prop shaft which was bent 60 thousandths. Paid for everything. New lower unit, prop and gear oil. They even paid me at my labor rate. The plus was my premiums did not go up afterwards.

Are you serious about the trolling motor I get nothing but complaints. I think I'll just loung in the back and complain, maybe bounce a few MHL caps off your hat or something.
Hey what are you thoughts about running 2 year gas through a 4-stroke that was stabilized with stabil marine? I have about 15 gallons of gas in the tank. To get rid of it I have to buy probably 3 gas cans and surrender them when I bring the stuff in to drop off. To get rid of old gas in Madison Co they send you to the Fairgrounds in Syracuse to get rid of it. I was thinking of putting some octane booster in it and a few gallons of high test.

hoping this heavy rain stops so I can run out for a few hours tonight,picked up a cheap 100 dollar trolling motor to hold me over until the new boat arrives in 20 days! going to focus on jigging and cranks and lay off the planer boards and harnesses this time, when I started last year they worked great but it was the end of may.
Does anyone know where I can start reading about eye,salmon,trout fishing in ontario near oswego?will finally have a boat capable of heading up there. Looking to trailer the new boat once a week to some new spots.....fished oneida for 20 years so im alittle lost on where else to head

Try this site for some GREAT Ontario info and reports. www.lakeontariounited.com (http://www.lakeontariounited.com)
As for the worm harnesses. I ran one or two drifting this weekend with a bottom bouncer and never had a bite on them. No problem getting them to hit jigs though. I decided last year that I will not troll until July. I love catching them jigging or casting sticks.

Congrats to everyone on yet ANOTHER fantastic opener! :thumbup_smilie:
My crew and I did well jiggin' by day and tossin' sticks by night, my biggest fish was a 21". Caught fish anywhere from out in 25 FOW on in to about 14...At night we threw at rocks in as little as 2 feet and out to 5. I was getting all my fish on 5/8 oz. Bucktails, tipped with plastic during the day, and at night various Rapalas worked just nice. I knew it was gonna be another steller opener when I caught my first Eye jiggin' a slip float at Apps for crappies on Friday morning! Stayed until Monday Morning, and had a fantastic time!! CAN'T WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR!! The Ice Addict will be giving the GoggleEyes a chance to recover until ICE!! Keep em' in check for me brotha's!!
Thank you for stopping by and delivering my beanie Mr. President, You, Filet and Mr. Release are ALL swell guys! ;)
Rick's PO'd we didn't invite him to join our club!! I can see why, HE lies about fishing more than anyone I know!! :D
Heres the one I caught at Rick's marina Friday. I think that was my favorite one of the weekend!

Not a surprise. I saw weird stuff too. It was to be expected with the weather pattern. I posted about it a week ago. Temps were a bit coller than that a wk ago, then 3 days of warm weather & warm runoff caused the scenario. Off cleveland you're surrounded by the deepest water, with little runoff. The warmer temps would've been at each end considering runoff & how much shallow water is around.

Nice fish all, Once again snaggers pic trumps all. What a rack of eyes!

It is not the motor it is the wobbley seat post and a touchy foot petal. It is hard on your back too. Maybe I am just old and cranky ::) ;D. Still a nice boat. I would spend the bucks for an I PILOT.

I think it should be fine but if you dont want to chance it pour it in you truck it should be fine in there

Just wondering what depth water these were caught in. i dont expect to tell all your secrets but i fished for 4 hours with a snoar and black and purple jig and nothing! new to this thing :D
-
Just wondering what depth water these were caught in. i dont expect to tell all your secrets but i fished for 4 hours with a snoar and black and purple jig and nothing! new to this thing :D
The fish we caught were mostly on structure and rapid depth changes. We got some early (daybreak) throwing 5/8 oz black/purple bucktails in shallow shoals (5 to 13 fow). I know 5/8 seems big, and it is, but they seem to like it. That bite died off for us as the sun came up. We switched to the deeper structure ( 21 - 29 fow ). Right now, as you can read in posts from the veterans, you can get 'em by throwing a bucktail or a sonar. There are cases where they are grouped up a little on the flats, mostly the post-spawn males, but usually a better bet is to locate and fish the sloping bottom. Take a run-and-gun approach. Spend 15 or 20 minutes on a spot. If they ain't there ... they ain't there ... move on. For a few of us there seems to be a morning pattern and a separate evening pattern. An empty spot in the morning can have walleyes on it after supper.
There are a zillion ways to catch walleyes on this lake. Choose your weapon (sticks, cranks, spinners, plastics, jigs, sonars, live bait, etc., etc.). Pick one or two and get good at it. Hitch a ride with a veteran when you can. Good luck!!

ran out there for an hour and a half today. stayed close to home because of the weather. tried the west opening off maple bay 12-15 fow, when I got there I marked so many fish it was crazy and caught 7 pickeral in an hour. tried alittle shallower and deeper but only saw one eye who didnt hit my crankbait. Early may fishing continues to baffle me, I stuck to bucktails and sonars with some crank baits mixed in but could only get pickeral. Its a weird feeling having the navionics map with perfect detail of the lake at my finger tips and being clueless haha. I tried west of the bay because of a slight west wind probably should have went closer to the east side. The learning continues. Water was 56.5 after the rain and the pickeral were huge.
-
Anyone think the high muddy creeks dumping into the lake will put them off tomorrow night, or will the warmer rain water keep them moving? Fish Creek and Oneida Creek are very high and chocolate brown.

Got out for a two hour trip tonight with my buddy Alan. We found fish in several places but they weren't on very well, we picked our way to a limit of nice 16-18" fish. Nice to have the rain ease up enough for a comfortable trip- lake was pretty much flat. Our fish came from 24-30' tonight, one on the sonar, the rest on bucktails.
-
Anyone think the high muddy creeks dumping into the lake will put them off tomorrow night, or will the warmer rain water keep them moving? Fish Creek and Oneida Creek are very high and chocolate brown.
Water color is off, but didn't effect the fishing. FM and I got our limit last night ;)

ICE ADDICT........I will see you on the ice as soon as this off season is done. great job with the eyes my freind this past weekend. 8)
Thanks H.T.! " off season" I LOVE IT!! :clapping: Thats exactly how I feel as well :thumbup_smilie:.......COME ON WINTER!!! :w00t:

Any one know a good spot on the North East side of the lake to take a young child for Rock bass, sunfish or perch? We have a small row boat we can use if there isn't a good location by land.
-
The cormorants were in a feeding frenzy at the mouth of Scriba creek this morning. Hopefully they are feeding on the tons of minnows that are schooled there.
Nice morning except for the bugs. Got six walleyes and two of the biggest white perch I have ever seen.
Also caught a tipup loaded with zebra mussels. If you are from Lafayette, and ice fish near Long Island, I have it here in Constantia. Couldn't read the name on it.

You can slide your boat into the canal under the bridge in Sylvan Beach (south side). From there you can hug the shore line, Fish the back water around the island across the canal, or slip into any of the marinas. You should be able to connect with some fish within a short distance of the bridge.

If I was taking kids I would hit one of the small lakes in Madison County, like Cazenovia, throw a car top in off Route 20, lots more sunnies, gills and rockies there. Eaton Brook is good for that stuff too.

Once you get a couple more posts under your belt (5 I think) you will be able to send and receive personal messages. Send me one and I'll list out some of the local places I found to take kids fishing with and without a boat.

Thanks for the replies.

I used used to fish a ton especially with my dad when younger but many of the places we went from shore are posted or inaccessible now. My 8yr is starting to get into it much more this year and I am so loving it! We have been fishing on the local creek but it is a little spoty this spring for him. Doesn't have the patience yet! That is why I am looking for the pan fish.
-
Besides that he loved the Rock Bass we cooked up! (Thats 5 :))

Congrats to everyone on yet ANOTHER fantastic opener! :thumbup_smilie:
My crew and I did well jiggin' by day and tossin' sticks by night, my biggest fish was a 21". Caught fish anywhere from out in 25 FOW on in to about 14...At night we threw at rocks in as little as 2 feet and out to 5. I was getting all my fish on 5/8 oz. Bucktails, tipped with plastic during the day, and at night various Rapalas worked just nice. I knew it was gonna be another steller opener when I caught my first Eye jiggin' a slip float at Apps for crappies on Friday morning! Stayed until Monday Morning, and had a fantastic time!! CAN'T WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR!! The Ice Addict will be giving the GoggleEyes a chance to recover until ICE!! Keep em' in check for me brotha's!!
Thank you for stopping by and delivering my beanie Mr. President, You, Filet and Mr. Release are ALL swell guys! ;)
Rick's PO'd we didn't invite him to join our club!! I can see why, HE lies about fishing more than anyone I know!! :D
Heres the one I caught at Rick's marina Friday. I think that was my favorite one of the weekend!

Glad to hear you guys had a great long weekend John!!!!! :thumbup_smilie:

The fish we caught were mostly on structure and rapid depth changes. We got some early (daybreak) throwing 5/8 oz black/purple bucktails in shallow shoals (5 to 13 fow). I know 5/8 seems big, and it is, but they seem to like it. That bite died off for us as the sun came up. We switched to the deeper structure ( 21 - 29 fow ). Right now, as you can read in posts from the veterans, you can get 'em by throwing a bucktail or a sonar. There are cases where they are grouped up a little on the flats, mostly the post-spawn males, but usually a better bet is to locate and fish the sloping bottom. Take a run-and-gun approach. Spend 15 or 20 minutes on a spot. If they ain't there ... they ain't there ... move on. For a few of us there seems to be a morning pattern and a separate evening pattern. An empty spot in the morning can have walleyes on it after supper.
There are a zillion ways to catch walleyes on this lake. Choose your weapon (sticks, cranks, spinners, plastics, jigs, sonars, live bait, etc., etc.). Pick one or two and get good at it. Hitch a ride with a veteran when you can. Good luck!!
When are you fishing next Jim??? :whistling: Jr. and I will be headed out Friday night for a NINJA RUN!!! Titelines!!--KP ;D
-
Was going by the lake about 3, knew I couldn't go this evening so I thought, what the heck, I'll give it a shot. Motored over a few fish, set up to drift over them and 6 casts later headed in with a limit. What a great opening week so far. ;D The last couple days the bucktail/worm has been getting it done. Lots of floating crap out there after all this rain, keep your eyes open.
-
Got out this afternoon for a bit. Got fish in 16-20 fow on a purple and black bucktail jig tipped with a crawler. Made 3 short drifts and got my limit in 25 minutes :)

Sounds like the boat bites going strong..... I went down last night and fished from 4 of my favorite shore spots, it was kind of strange, perfect west chop, but no bait and very few fish, I worked hard for 4 hours casting sticks, ended up getting 11 eyes, but it took 4 hrs and half were short...if I hadn't been fishing alone and was fishing with a couple guys, we would have shared those bites and only got 3 or 4 each...... feels like the shore bite is already dieing 3 weeks ahead of schedule. We'll see.
-
Thats why they call it fishing not catching. any time you get to go fishing is a good thing,and catching a few is even better. I do not see the problem. Rule # 1 don't leave fish to find fish
-

Never said there was a problem, I had an absolute riot fishing last night, fished in wind and rain.....I always have more fun when its tougher, because I'm trying to figure them out. Just letting these guys know that the shore bite will be going early, so maybe a few of them plan accordingly in the next 2-3 weeks .

Seems like almost everything is about three weeks ahead of schedule this year.
-
I don't have 30-40 yrs on Oneida like some guys, but my notes from 12 yrs of shore casting says that once the shorts show up, its just about over. Shorts don't usually show up until memorial day weekend which usually coinsides with the mass schools of buckeyes doing that wave thing they do on the top of the water just before they leave for deeper water. You know if you've seen it, you shut the car door and the surface goes nuts with rippling buckeyes.. Theres the least amount of bait I've ever seen right now, don't really know what to make of that, that ones got me confused for this time of year. Very few sucking noises going on in the dark.
-
I often wish I had written down data like you have. I started a few times, but it always fell to the way-side. How do the water temps compare to past years for what the fish are doing?
I know the solunar tables showed that opening weekend was supposed to be good. Do you find those tables to have any clout?

You know what hookinup, water temps are normal, 48-60 depending how close you are too a tributary is normal for this time of year according to my notes..... its just we got the walleyes spawning before the closing in March, buckeyes started doing whatever it is they do shallow in March also way ahead of schedule...When I went perch fishing off a boat on March 18th, there was more bait on the surface then last night, how screwed up is that?...... Everything is out of order......So temperature isn't a good gauge this year, as the lake has warmed to 60 twice only to fall back to normal levels. I kind of don't know what to make out of it, like our ice season, just going with it....
Heres an interesting factoid Jim, last week, Lake Ontario at 52 degrees was warmer than shallow Oneida lake at 48 degrees..In May!!! When has that ever happened before?

The marina's are LOADED with bucheye's! They have been for a month now. Something has been picking at them though, there's not nearly as many as there was.
-
i'm seeing the same thing on the west end also. not near as many bait fish near the shore. the night bite is just about over.
2 weeks ago sunday night it was quite the opposite. you could have walked on the bait fish, and the thousands of walleyes feeding on them !!!
the gates are open, and the water is still rising !! about 8" just today. it could change things in the walleye dept. later...
-
No baitfish here either....I was wonder why there's no bites today!! ;Dhttp://i966.photobucket.com/albums/ae145/KingPerch/IMAG0406.jpg[/img]](https://www.myfishfinder.com/fishing_forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi966.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fae145%2FKingPerch%2FIMAG0406.jpg&hash=6b19fc16f8ed544ad11be531f3c21de3) (http://[IMG)

Gonna head out tonight from shore. Maybe I can get a few. Cant wait to get a motor on my boat as my other one had a blown piston. Lookin for a 40-50 hp motor for it.
-
going to head out in the morning and try some more on the west end. probably head around frenchmans or hit up some shoals.ill be the guy lookin lost in the camo boat if anyone wants to say hi
-
I made a quick trip tonight. I tried one spot for 20 minutes and dumped one on a sonar. I decided to make a move and the next spot I hit one on the second cast. I ended up with 3 keepers and one short in about 40 minutes. I missed and dumped several, all on a bucktail.

2nd day of a west wind blow did the trick tonight , could pretty much catch them at will, I landed 22 eyes in a little over 2 hours , missed alot of bites and dumped alot.. it was pretty much non stop.....With fair weather and warmer temps for the next week, I'm pretty sure this was the that one night you get from shore every spring that is off the hook . It's these nights that keep you going til it happens again...Insane night.

good job guys , well snag you sure did give -em a sore mouth ;D

Nice job SNAGGER, it looked like a perfect night for a good shore bite.

Nice...and todays winds are a notch higher than yesterdays. It does seem that the bite going on now is the one that usually is going on the third or last week in May, hope they stay on the bottom through June but I'll bet things start getting a bit tougher mid-month. These are the good ol' days right now.

Grgeat job on the eyes!
We keep the tooner at Snug and we've had a decent school of buckeye's around the dock all spring, but the school is getting smaller by the day. We have a 4-5 pound smallmouth making her nest under our dock. We've seen her take quite a few buckeye's out of the school! We're definitely a couple seeks ahead of schedule.
-
the west wind is rippin pretty good now. the water temp. is going up. I hope they stay on the bottom also. later...

Caught a limit of keepers under 18 inches and released 4 over 20 inches last night from the wall at App's Landing in Cleveland.
Caught them the old fashioned way. Big shiners under a lighted float. Pretty cool seeing that green glob being pulled under the surface.
There's some catfish swimming around that area too. Caught 3 of those.

buddy and I both got our limit shore casting last night, south shore. 730 till 9pm. fun night
Color of the stickbait made a bigger difference for us.

Cornell University Biologist Randy Jackson has said in the past that fishing for bass on their spawn beds has no impact on the bass fishery. Now, this article:

Which way is it Randy?

In Randy's defense, his original stance was BEFORE round gobies were on the doorstep of Oneida Lake.
Once the gobies take hold in Oneida, catching and releasing bass off the beds will no doubt hurt the spawn. The local BASS folks are pushing hard to get Oneida opened up for catch and release even DURING the spawn.
I wonder if it will have a large impact. My guess is since the bass population is increasing now, it will probably just level off once the gobies get here.

So what color was hot last night?
Last weekend I found that shallow shad raps in black/silver were better on friday but that thundersticks in madflash finishes were better on saturday night. Couple follows but couldn't get a second sniff on the SSR saturday.
Also fished totally different sections of the lake both nights.

blue/silver /organge belly..#10 husky. never leaves one rod all season. Jerk it hard, it suspends, aggressive hit usually occurs at rest.
I see your your taking a different approach Munson, good stuff, actually last night after limiting on my go to stick, I switched to jigging, an over sized hook..1/8 oz. jig to get a different bite, I like the jig bite better than tossing sticks. Don't get one on every cast like my buddy was doing last night, but a much better bite when they do hit, get to drill em when they suck it in. I like that. ;D

Sometimes, you just need to take the simple approach, kick back and relax. Last night was one of those nights for me.
Back to the jigs tonight if the wind lets up a little. Or, my buddy said the white perch bite is hot on the east end somewhere so we might go there so the kids can have some fun.

I have been thinking the same thing. Where are all those 20" fish that we released this winter?
-
Do you guys jig from shore or just boats?
What size jigs for jigging from shore? I am not much for jigging, It always feels like im going to get hung up and usually do.
-
It looks like there may be some type of rescue going on out near shackletons. Looks like a couple of fire boats and a helicopter.
We were out there earlier and there was nobody else out there. My buddy Eric and I jigged up 8 eyes, then went in and tossed sticks at dark and picked up 7 more nice ones.

OTIS....your mailbox is full! ;)
D'OH! All fixed!
Is it just me, or are the eye's running a little on the small side this yr. Been fishing from shore, but even the pics from the lake look like smaller fish.
Last weekend we got them jigging and they were between 15 and 19 inches. Tonight we were chucking sticks out from Cozy Corners and they were all shorts!
Do you guys jig from shore or just boats? What size jigs for jigging from shore? I am not much for jigging, It always feels like im going to get hung up and usually do.
I fish primarily out of a boat, but have jigged from shore for years. You can throw whatever, I usually use: twisters on a 1/4 or 1/8 head; buck tails 1/8-5/8 plain, tipped with a worm or minnow, or rigged with a twister; or shad type plastics on a 1/4 or 1/8 head. Twisters and lead heads are cheap so I throw them where I think there's going to be snags. Most of the places in the canal in Sylvan Beach are fairly clean.

Took my first skunk of the spring tonight. I have done alright the first few trips. When i left i took my flashlight and spotted the shoreline for a bit, I started seeing glowing eyes in 6-12" of water, a couple monsters. Waded back out and casted some more. Nothing. Fish were so shallow you couldn't do much, or at least I couldn't. Fished from 9-11pm on the south shore.
-
Another good bite tonight, lake layed down earlier than the past 2 nights and the good bite died with it...by 1030pm it was over, hit 2 spots, both produced well....... I landed 17 eyes, my buddy bob did just about as many.. good night, threw back some good ones and kept 3 17 inchers.

I fished last night with Jr., Coach and my friend Pat. Fished from 8-12:00. all had hookups really quick. Jr. caught 2, Coach caught 2, Pat caught 2, and KP coulda had a limit, but, dropped every fish I had hooked. :-\ The final straw was when I was reeling in a really nice fish, when the hook popped out at the shore, I reached down to grab the fish with one hand, set my rod down with the other, wally decided to take a spin, I reached for the fish with my free hand, stuck the dorsal fin in my hand, and .........you guys can figure out the rest!!!!! ;D After cleaning up the blood, returned to fishing only, to have Mr. Beaver show up, not impressed with us being in his spot, started slapping his tail on the water and spooked the fish out! Great night with great people. Coach and Pat, nice fishing with you guys. Jr., great job on your fish buddy!! Including the pig smallmouth you caught!! :bowdown: :flex: I have fished through many fishless days..... without regret!! LIFE IS GOOD!! Titelines!--KP 8)

Got to go fishing with the master this morning from about 9 til 11 or so. Nice gentle breeze with just enough chop to get it done, it was more of a jig bite where we were. Many fish were rolled a couple times before they were hooked.
If I had a nickel for every hour this man spent hunting & fishing with me, I could retire.
Thanks Dad!

Nice fish Hollywood. Me and a friend of mine got out around 6am this morning, Had to find them and when we did holycow. Jigs were the key. Every pass we would pick up 2-3 . Between 10- 1030am was the best time for us. Fish On.

I fished last night with Jr., Coach and my friend Pat. Fished from 8-12:00. all had hookups really quick. Jr. caught 2, Coach caught 2, Pat caught 2, and KP coulda had a limit, but, dropped every fish I had hooked. :-\ The final straw was when I was reeling in a really nice fish, when the hook popped out at the shore, I reached down to grab the fish with one hand, set my rod down with the other, wally decided to take a spin, I reached for the fish with my free hand, stuck the dorsal fin in my hand, and .........you guys can figure out the rest!!!!! ;D After cleaning up the blood, returned to fishing only, to have Mr. Beaver show up, not impressed with us being in his spot, started slapping his tail on the water and spooked the fish out! Great night with great people. Coach and Pat, nice fishing with you guys. Jr., great job on your fish buddy!! Including the pig smallmouth you caught!! :bowdown: :flex: I have fished through many fishless days..... without regret!! LIFE IS GOOD!! Titelines!--KP 8)
It was a great night!!! Nice Job Jr :thumbup_smilie: and KP looked like Bear Grylls trying to catch fish with his bare hands :flex: ;D

Its too bad FM could not go with us KP, but he was in timeout again ;D

Nice job Hollywood!
What a great day to be on the water.
Got out around 6:45 a.m.. There's a wicked bug hatch going on right now, and with very little wind, I was eatin' and breathin' bugs for a while. Had 'em in my ears, nose and tear ducts. I think the bugs are bringing the bait to the surface out there. When it is calm, you can see the sheepheads crashing the surface (like they do in June). Saw a couple of sheephead "squadrons" cruising by.
Got into the walleyes right away. I caught the first three on a sonar, but when I switched to a bucktail they hammered it. After that bite slowed down, I switched back to the sonar and they were lovin' that again.
I was all set to call it quits fot the morning when my girlfriend called and said she was coming out. Took her out to get her limit and we dropped the hammer on 'em again.
The fish are starting to spread out on the flats surrounding deeper structure. Also ... fish are holding on the steep drops. We got bit everywhere from 19 to 29 fow today.

Nice job gentlemen!!!
My buddy Eric and I gave it another shot this morning. We had to work a little harder today but did okay. Ended up with a limit of eyes and then some. We also got some nice bonus perch too. We caught fish mostly from 14' - 23' on bucktails. Just before we headed in we tried a mud flat in 44'. We hit one nice eye there and lost a couple. Marked quite a few deep and even some suspended.
Here are our fish from last night and this morning.

Great reports guys!!!!!!!
After doing last nights shift couldn't do the daybreak one, so me and my buddy big Jim from pa got there a little later, started fishing at 930am , We were greated by bright sunshine and calm conditions after reading the weather forecasts for 10-15mph winds, thought great we'll do well if we find a nice group of eyes with the light drift, and we did right out of the gate. Started jigging sonars in 16 fow and second cast , first waldo in the boat, next hour and half produced 11 eyes in the boat in 15-18 fow. A breeze set up that messed with our drift so we took off for deeper water, settled into 19-23 feet flat and picked at a few more, then drove even a tad deeper to a 25 fow flat and got some more nice ones... ended up with 25 eyes and 2 perch by 330pm... Great first day back jigging sonars from a boat. Can't wait to do it again tomorrow.

Great pictures and reports!
Its crazy out there! We took Ellie out to test her new kayak and I figured while we were out there... ::) So a couple casts later we were into the eyes! Mom landed two, Ellie picked up a short out of the kayak, and I dropped 7 fish! Man, I couldn't keep them on the hook! The girls got "cold" when the bite was hot, so we headed in for the day. Sneaking out EARLY tomorrow for a quick boat ride. Have to be home in time to make mama breakfast in bead! ;D If mama aint happy, aint nobody happy!
Snagger, the buckeye's were stacked in Snug last night! I met a friend of your's today. He's my neighbor at the marina, and was fishing with Big Jim last night.
Hollywood, that's an awesome picture of your father!

I'm having luck with anything with a white belly but my go to color is black/silver original floating Rapala.
Black and silver holographic challengers have been working well also.

Got out lat night right at dark. Lake was smoooth. Waded out reel slow as the water was like glass. Immediately started seeing some minnows being chased. Set me up for awesome expectations. Weeds are starting to up pop more in my spot a little pain keeping the green off my trebles. Anyway, every 15 min or so I'd see a splash, see minnows break, or hear. Threw my challengers for an hour straight with out a bite. Switched to a smallish black/chrome husky jerk and first cast fish one. This fish was a fighter, I'm thinking I have a nice walleye on. Then it jumped 3 times in a row. My walleye hopes were crushed. It was a nice smallie. The next cast after that I landed a rock bass, then a few min later I foul hooked a blue gill. Around a half hour later I landed a shot walleye and that was it. Fished until 11:30.
I was thinking of heading to oneida shores to try that, but as i was leaving a guy was coming. He said oneida shores is gated up and you can't get in at night anymore?
-
The bite came on late for my father and cousin and family friend. Purple and black pill head 3/8 jigs in 6-9 FOW Late morning. Once they got on them the boat limit ended under an hour. Looks like a great day for most of us.

nice job guys, beats dragging leaches :D i did good last night, my first spot produced 15 eyes but only one keeper. when i moved i picked up a nice limit in about 15 minues then started throwing them back. i have never caught that many small eyes in this area before, nice to see a good crop coming up.
Great reports guys!!!!!!!

Hit Oneida this morning from 630-1130am, the fish we hit yesterday in shallow moved, so we did a couple real long drifts between bouy 109 and 107.... never really found any clusters of fish at any certain depth, just a steady pick, Me and Jimmy put 17 eyes in the boat and dumped a half dozen each...also got some bonus perch while jigging sonars for the frying pan... Second day in arow couldn't use gps tracks on my fishfinder, I think I got to take my battery back, it died again....Another Beautiful weather day again for a second straight weekend, how nice is that...great fun morning.
heres a couple pics.

Good job as usual Shane.
You did alot better than I did ... that's for sure. Yesterday I had a limit in about 25 minutes, and put 30-something more in the boat. This morning ... different story. Took me 3 1/2 hours to get a limit, and another hour to find two more. Funny how things can change in a matter of hours. I saw two huge bait balls today in 25 fow. Fish were zig-zagging up and down the water column, but I couldn't buy a bite. They were spread out pretty thin in the flats, so I resorted to pulling spinners for about an hour. That didn't work either. :'(
Good day for a boat ride though ::)

I and release hit the water this morning started shallow and watched release dump 4 in a row ,then he catches 2 perch Omg what a pain ,got my 3 and had to take him out to 30 feet off 1 of my ice spots, he finally gets his limit and don't you know he gets a pickerel out there and 4 more perch i couldn't wait to get him home ,maybe i should just leave him there next time so the tally was filet 3 for 3 release 3 for 7 , 6 perch and a pickerel ,but it was a nice day though ,now i have the rest of the week to unwind at work ,all on sticks , water temp ranged from 56.6- 60.5

I got a Lowrance Endura Safari real cheap last year. I did the firmware upgrade, and it's supposed to handle my platinum chip. Haven't tried it yet. I was hoping that was what you had.

Great picture Freddy... :w00t:
Usually after the weekends over I reflect and study where I fished on my map, but couldn't use my map chip all weekend, battery says 13 volts, use it a few minutes and its dead, just got it in February. 12 volt 12 amp scooter battery. bummer..had to fish old school just drifting around....

Good job guys!
Shane, I must have passed you. I was heading in when you were heading out.
Hit the spot at 5:30 and had a limit plus a couple perch by 6:20. The lake was like glass, but the first three casts with a sonar resulted in three dropped fish, and two perch. I'm starting to wonder if some of my drops are smaller perch. I switched over to a buck tail and crawler and picked up the eyes. I still dropped a couple fish though. The bite died quick around 6:30, no hits for the last the last 20 minutes.

The only bites we had shallow 15-17 fow, were perch, nice chunky 10-11 inchers, a guy targeting them could do well on the east end right now, mine had buckeyes and snails in there bellies. There was a boat coming in as we were going out... ;D

Awesome trips & pics everybody...fun coming on here to see several pages of guys, gals & kids having fun out there! I went for a short trip this afternoon, fished about an hour & a half and picked up 7, 3 on sonar, 4 on bucktail - also picked up the first sheephead on a sonar in 22'. Very few boats out this afternoon, nice peaceful day.

The only bites we had shallow 15-17 fow, were perch, nice chunky 10-11 inchers, a guy targeting them could do well on the east end right now, mine had buckeyes and snails in there bellies. There was a boat coming in as we were going out... ;D
Ya quick trip this morning, I had to get home in time to make breakfast in bed for Lovie. :laugh:

If anyone was fishing Oneida Shores by the launch yesterday afternoon and lost / forgot their tackle bag full of tackle, we have it.
We noticed it as we were pulling the boat out. The tackle bag and other items were sitting right by the big wooden sign by the launch. There is no identification in or on the bag so you'll need to identify it and it's contents .
The bag and other items will be delivered to it's rightful owner ASAP !

:rotflol: :rotflol: :rotflol: Glad to see you guys are getting along, and made it back safely!! I take it you didnt let release drive the boat again :w00t:

finally got out for a little while after work. got 1 20" walleye. it was beautiful out there. brought the mrs. with me. now she wants to get her fishing license. it was a nice relaxing trip. I needed it ;D ;D ;D. later...

Hey guys, I have a boat rental coming up for this weekend out of Charley's which means mosly around the west end ( the islands) or Constantia if the lake is nice. I can save an hour coming from Albany if I use Marion Marina and fish that area. Which makes the most sense?
-
I caught eyes at both ends of the lake Sun. there is eyes through the entire lake just findin the ones that want to bite is the tricky part , good luck on your search , read some of the replies that might help with your choice , and don't forget the night bite
-
I only fish the east end. If you head out from Marion Manor, get on the water as early as you can. I like to be on the water for first light. Heddon Sonars (gold, shad, perch, etc...) in the larger size or buck tails tipped with half a crawler jigged in 20ish feet of water are catching fish. Drift between 107 to 109 or anywhere on the large flat out there, but I try to stay in around 20 feet.

Anybody gettin any walleyes out of Oneida River??!!

Looking for a place on Oneida Lake that rents boats for the day/ week.

<arion Manor has nice boats with quite 4strokes, but you gotta have them back a half hour before dark, man does that suck!!!!!!!!!!

are you trolling, casting, jigging? I assume your walleye fishin. East end is deeper with less structure, if you like structure, do charlies, if you enjoy longer drifts and jig, do marion manor. my 2 cents.
-
Short trip after work, put 7 in the boat all on bucktail/worm. All of them were 16" except for 1 short, weird to have them all the exact same size. Strange drift tonight, don't usually get a SE push out there.
-
Weird night, ran out to frenchmans on my drift I saved from last year there was an odd northwest wind around 700 then some dark clouds went through and the wind picked up for a half hour. Nothing on harness,bucktail,sonar at french so headed over to the clear skies near maple bay and picked up a 17 and a half and 15 and a half right at dark off a harness and a bucktail. 20 fow. The west end is really stumping me, I trolled 90% of the time last year starting in june so I feel totally lost out there. Just not getting anything jigging, trying to stay on dropoffs but pretty lost out west. I know the fish are there and im using the right stuff I just dont have the experience to find them! hope I can find something tomorrow when I bring people out theyre so excited from last years success....I tell them be prepared for a beautiful sunset the fish are optional haha!

Hello, all. How are you?
My name is Steve. I am a nurse (22 years) from Sauquoit, NY. I am pretty new to this walleye fishing. Well, maybe "new" isn't the right word, more like...terrible. ::) I fish from the shore or wade. My usual places are the canal (Lock 22 to Sylvan Beach), Sylvan Beach, Cozy Corner, and Schneibles Inn. I usually like to fish the night. Usually, 6PM to 1-2 AM. I probably should try the AM bite. I have some luck floating minnows and occasionally on jigs and sonars. Trying to self learn the art of stickbaits and the subtle taps. I find this very challenging, especially when the wind is up. As bad as I am, I really do just enjoy being at the lake and watching anyone catch fish. Hopefully soon I will have the ability to have a little more success.
I just wanted to introduce myself and thank you for the informative reading from your posts. I try like hell to open my ears and eyes before my mouth starts asking questions but, I am sure the questions will come.
If you ever see a goofy looking guy with brown Silverado and a minnow bucket sitting occasionally with a pretty blonde on the east side of the canal at Sylvan Beach, stop and say hello. It would be nice to meet you.
Thank you and take care.

I limited out on Eyes at high noon yesterday using a Jitterbug tipped with Grass Shrimp ::)

CMDRSTP, I use a green hat lamp when fishing with waders. I find this doesn't spook the fish and you can find them and cast to them. Also I find north shore any where is best for Walleye wading. Just keep at it, Cast a lot of lures , find what works and stick with that. If you find a honey hole keep going there until they move then you move. Just my 2 cents.

Hey Otis,Snagger and FiletandRelease- Thanks alot for the info. I do all three, harness, jig or cast but the the info I have heard about 109 and 107 seems llike the best fit. Again thanks so much for the specifics. Hope to make your aquaintence some day.
-
I've had good sucsess on the west end this year using 3/8 oz. black jig with silver, and purple tinsil tipped with nothing. I usually fish around long point, frenchmans, or muskrat bay. the magic depth seems to be 12 fow. but you have to keep moving to find the walleyes that are feeding. pretty much the same anywhere you fish in the lake. the water temp. yesterday was 62. very light south east wind now. going to give it a shot before dark. later...

Is this the Steve P. that used to go to the hotel ??? Just asking is it is you will know me and even if it isnt i am pretty close to you and love to walleye fish ... post a couple more posts and PM me

for you guys that use nanofil line do tie your jigs directly to it or do you tie a floro leader then your jig
-

I been using a micro swivel and some fluoro. The nanofil seems to get a little twisty, but nanofil on a supercaster casts like a dream...A white line to a lure seems more unnatural than a lure

Great trip with a couple friends tonight, we found fish everywhere we looked but many weren't in the mood to play. As it got a little later they started to turn on & we managed to bring our limit back. The jig/worm was outfishing the sonars in the relatively flat conditions out there this evening. What a beautiful night though, great weather and conversation and Cubby even managed to get a little leg action. 8)

Hey Steve,
When we use stickbaits here, it's usually a VERY slow retrieve. Sometimes I don't even turn the reel handle, just a slow twitch, twitch twitch, and reel up the slack, then repeat. I use a med. heavy spinning rod and 15lb. braided PowerPro line tied direct to the lure.
Keep trying, it takes practice to get the "feel". Good Luck!

Got a few eyes at Williams beach two nights ago using stick baits in waders. Gonna go out and try my luck again there tonight.

My friend and I had the chance to finally get out and fish for walleye.We did not catch alot but what we caught were very nice, one at 28" thats between 7-8 lbs, two 24"at 5lbs and the smallest at 23" 4lbs. Among some very nice white and yellow perch, two bass. The next thing that the perch and walleye have to worrie about is the beer batter and hot peanut oil
To be washed down with some Blue (labattes) The water temps were perfect 64 and a cold front was coming. It ws great to get out and practice for my fly in trip in 6 weeks, now I really can't wait
Huntstolong please show this to Dave thanks

Do you fish there often? I have been there every weekend night since the opener. Went last night as well. Did well opening weekend, since then I have caught a total of two eyes and some bass/panfish.
I drive a stickered up green nissan pathfinder. Anyone see's me there stop and say hello

:clapping: Those are some nice fish octanchi5 if you would of caught them on opening weekend you would of won the torney with the 28incher n had the two 24inchers in the top 8. :bowdown:

geeze jim how many that size have you caught in the fall or winter and that many ;)
-
The fish we caught were in the state of Ct. on a lake called saltenstall. its a res that's owned by the regional water authority. it is highly regulated. I believe our next state record wally will come out of it. last fall they shocked up some that went over 12lbs. I have pics but did not down load yet I'll try to post later. they were the best walleye's I ever caught in our state
-
Short trip tonight- took the first 3 and headed home early, found some along a rocky point in 12-20 that were eager to pound the sonar. The wind was ripping so hard from the WNW it was hard to get the drift sock in the water. Cubby was missing FM tonight...he says NOBODY gives up leg like Lance...

Uhmmmmmm ........... never that many that big. LoL
I thought that maybe the action was from CT because the heading of the thread didn't match this thread.
Nice fish though octanehi5, no matter where you got 'em ... especially CT!
-
Thanks for the comp. My intent was that a few guys on this thread know Dave of dave's bait at great sagandaga, I was trying to get them to pass the info to him.The lake is tough to fish it has rules like you have to be off the properety by sunset, all boats on it are rented by the water company during the week tuesday and friday rental is from 6am to 1 pm.It has tons of alwives in it, you can not bring live bait in only night crawlers,This last yr they shocked up a few at over 12 lbs, the record in this state is 14 lbs, it could very well fall this yr.Out of all the ways to catch walleyes only one works well, Lindy no snag and worm harness,the other thing that makes it so hard no gas engines only batt opp.trolling motors. But we got some dandies
-
Got out last night for a couple hours and picked up 2. Stayed around maple bay,tried 20 fow and then 10 fow after the sun went down. these were the only 2 eyes we saw all night.both on a bucktail. the larger was just under 21. Caught another white perch that was the size of a smallmouth,crazy how big they are. Think im going to have to start running down east because I suck on the west end this spring

Guys, if I were to make the trek out to oneida from honeoye with my 16' 9.9 horse boat, would I be able to safely make it to some decent walleye fishing grounds? if so could you possible put me in the right direction as far as where on the lake or which launches to head out of? any help/recommendations would be greatly appreciated

I was there 2 nights ago and got my limit using a black and silver floating rapala. I just got home from there tonight and caught two. The first one was 23 1/4 and I put it on my metal stringer and the bottom of the stringer snapped and the fish got away. the second one was 18. They both hammered the rapala. I also caught a Sheepshead and 5 pickeral.

yes weather not being a problem cause it does get rough fast here , right now there is still a trolling bite going on early in the morning in 12-15' fow , long line small sticks and some jigging in around 20' call or stop at APPS bait and tackle for more info number is 315-675-8334, and maybe some of the other guys might give you a PM to help out , good luck

Good fish guys! Keep at it!

Got back down to Oneida tonight, fished from 845pm til a little after 11pm..... wind was rippin, after sunset waves just kept building, not settling down... Fished in the surf, picked up 2 keepers on huskies , was stuck at 2 for a while, thought I might break my streak ... then switched to surfing twisters, picked up another 2 good ones and 4 shorties, my 10th straight limit......my 2 buddies both limited also, fun night.....felt like November.

Nice! I see you mentioned surfing twisters, I assume you mean swimming a jig with a twister tail high & fast? There was one fall back about 25 years ago I got to a favorite point an hour and a half before dark & was messing around with different things. I couldn't get a sniff on stick baits but when I tried a jig with a yellow twister tail on a fast retrieve under the surface I started smashing the smallies & walleyes, it was nuts. It worked that fall then I never could seem to get those results again, haven't tried it in years now but it was fun- they crushed it on the hit. That wind was something last night, I was casting short because the longer casts were making just too much of a rainbow in the line for a quick enough reaction to the hit. Glad you're on 'em- this has been a May to remember!

Read my post on page 31. There's a LOT of good information in this thread! If you haven't fished the lake before or you do not regularly fish the lake, it will pay to read this thread from beginning to end! ;)

Awesome, thanks for the help guys

octanehi5, I will let Dave know. Those are some nice fish. The lake is at target level for this time of year. It took awhile to come up. Walleye bite has been good, so has the pike....hunts2long

Nice night tonight... Got to go out with my buddy and his father in law that loves to fish- always a pleasure to have a guy with 80 years experience and still full of enthusiasm on board! My buddy got a nice one on his first cast, then it was a hunt to find more. It took a bit but eventually we landed on a small section of productive water that got us there after a few drifts. We caught fish from 15-30' split between the sonar and bucktail/worm. The wind was just right, bright beautiful skies and good company... love nights like this!

And the BiTE goes on. ;D
Took my mom out after work. We fished from 6:30 until 8:00 and ended up with 9 eyes, 8 keepers, a nice sunny, and a sheepshead. We jigged bucktails in 13'-22' FOW. It was a perfect drift too.

I think FM was getting a little jealous when ol' cubby started "paying attention" to me. Kinda like I was in a love triangle there for a minute. :D :D :D

Hey ... Yeah ... He did stay with the left leg, didn't he. What's so special about your left leg Lance? Why is it so much more attractive than your right? Guess we'll have to ask Cubby.
Must be my best Turtle kicking leg with plenty of pheromones built in? ::) ;D All I can say is.....Cubby loves my legs way more than all you !!!!!!!! Hey CUBBY..! Who's your favorite legs?? :D :D :D :D??
-
Great pictures guys!!!! :thumbup_smilie:
Hit Oneida tonight, after a 2 day west blow I had big expectations, it was good, but not explosive, it took a while to get going too, arrived around 830pm, the action didn't get going til 930pm, landed 14 by 1130pm, half keeper size and half shorties, my buddy limited as well, plus a bunch of shorts, baits thick, like a carpet, fish eating everywhere, but most are getting out of reach, waded pretty far out to get the last ones. Tonight might be my last shore trip, unless we get a good blow next week.

good job guys hope you left a few for me

I seen your big steel boat one time years ago on shackleton, looked like a warship coming. Your headed east and i'm headed west, we will run into each other very soon.... ;D just look for a dinky 16 foot starcraft. Should have it in the water next weekend.
Everybody set the bar pretty high tonight, hope we can live up to it tomorrow. Should be busy out there...good luck boys.

Yeah...just walked that trail 2 weeks ago with my pal Tim. It was during the day though, those vehicles rip through there. In all reallity though, that is not intended for anglers. Be careful people, if you decide to take that hike..... all I can say.

Hey Lance....did Cubby get his limit???? :rotflol: :rotflol: :w00t: :w00t:--KP ;D
Limit of Legs....for sure! ;D Then he went to the front of the boat and put his master on a hot bite.

The man hit on 81 died yesterday morning. He was a friend I've known since childhood. He had a heart of gold. I had a big brown trout in his freezer, that I was saving up to have mounted. He took a taxidermy class, and surprised me one Christmas Eve with a beautiful mount of my trout. It hangs in my livingroom, and will always remind me of all the good times we had. I hope he had his limit when he was hit. Great guy.

Went out with Walt and finally got into some walleye this weekend, most on jigs and Walt doing good just dragging a worm as he is a lazy jigger. He thought he got a snag on this critter till it started taking more line than the boat was moving. This catfish is bigger than it looks, i'd say at least 15 pounds, his St. Croix light action rod was almost touching the tip to the reel. Really good stuff see Walt fight this jumbo. PIcked up some JUMBO sunfish too, should get some rigs together and poke around after them as well. :-)

The fishing has been nothing but fantastic out there. Between last night and today I've covered quite a bit of water- the good news is there are fish almost everywhere and for the most part they're pretty cooperative. The past 12 hours of fishing time have provided 73 walleyes...gotta love those odds! 8)

Much tougher for me this morning. I found a couple of areas with more fish than I've seen so far this year, best readings on the screen I've seen in a long time...but I couldn't get them to go. Fished 4 hours and managed 6 from other spots but I spent most of the time trying to figure out the ones sleeping on the bottom- they won! What a beautiful weekend this has been.

Went out again with Walt this morning and the walleyes were tight lipped and I only got 1.
We did get a bonus 15 sunfish as I put a rig down with 2 separate spinners on snelled hooks as we had no wind. Stayed at the edge of the grass, gonna have a nice sunfish dinner tonight, yum yum.
Would be real nice to get a limit of these jumbo sunfish, they are tasty nuggets.

Went out this morning with my g/f. It was a tough bite for us too. We managed 11 walleyes, but most of them came off a small productive hump. We worked it to death, then went on a search for new fish. Zero luck with that. No biters. They bit the Black/Purple bucktail early, then the sonar bite got going after the sun was up for a while.
Uhmmmm ... I don't want to tell you this, but .... She beat me 6 to 5 today. She hasn't said much about it yet, but I know she's gonna!!!
Vultures are out in full force. Don't be seen with a bent rod or with a net in your hand ,,, or your gonna get company. Stopped to talk to Hollywood for a few minutes and we had two steaming at us within seconds. We had to start up and run.

Great reports everyone!!!!! :thumbup_smilie:
Well it was an interesting weekend for us...On the water at daybreak Saturday, had 20 eyes landed by 9am, then a big breakdown ....so that ended that hot streak, re grouped and hit the Lake this morning at daybreak.. first time more westward, descent bite for the guys with me, they put 18 in the boat, but I struggled trying to figure out how the eyes wanted it jigged today, only managed 4 .. we were done by 1030am once it got flat and hot out.. Saw alot of fish caught this weekend by everyone we fished around.
heres our weekend eyes just before getting the knife, my good buddy Jeff and Jimmy.

couldn't agree with you more hookinup. we were out last week, and we were being watched. as soon as one of us hooked up three other boats made the same drift as us. we moved, still caught fish, and the same thing happened each time we moved, witch was alot.
on a better note. I worked on my boat all day. found 3 shorts in the ignition wiring. it,s running great now. all I have to do is get an alternator tomorrow. the shorts burned up the voltage regulator. should be good to go ;D ;D ;D. congrats on the great fishing. hopefully I'll be on em soon !! later...
-
Nice Job boys!!! Cant wait till Friday :w00t:
-
We went out the south shore boat launch today. My first time ever jigging for walleyes. I caught basically everything but eyes..
I got one short eye, lost at least 4 fish that i am certain were eyes based on the way they fought. Then I went on to catch a sheepshead, two northerns, the biggest smallmouth bass I have ever seen in person, and a jumbo sunfish.
The guy I was with lost multiple fish, landed 4 eyes that ran from 18" to 21", and two smallies..
Not a bad morning, left by 10am. Didn't see any other fish caught...
I need to get more practice in jigging for walleye. I need a boat, or at least more friends with boats...
Anyone want a passenger this week after work in the evenin?
-
Wow Jeff without the wrist brace,lol. Looking great guys!!

First time on oneida this season for me and three buddies. We managed 14 and missed a few that felt like walleye, a couple of nice smallies, two yellow perch, a white perch and a couple of drum. The jig method worked the best today. Had a lip ripper, crank and stick bait on for awhile but went back to the jig. It was Africa hot out there after that wind died. The bite was a little slower after that but we struck to pretty much one gradual hump we like. Just had to really feel what was going on down there.
Crazy question....I have a 140 horse Johnson that run fine at lower RPM's and once I get on plane and go for awhile it acts like something is going through the fuel line. I have always run ethanol trt., just put in a water separator last year and I have a new fuel filter. The engine does not stall but it just feels like?????

Like KP said ... could be the fuel pump. Try squeezing the primer bulb while it's stuttering and see if it makes a difference. Also ... might be electrical. I had similar symptoms one time with my 90 HP johnson and it was due to a stator coil breaking down at higher rpms.
Maybe FM can chime in with ideas?

Thanks KP and Hookinup 8) Engines have never been a strong point in my arsenal and when you guys come up with these suggestions to try it blows me away!

Forgot to tell you .... put a big steady squeeze on the primer bulb ... don't pump it like you are priming it.

Went out Friday morning @6am with a friend, had our limit by 10. And then the bugs invaded us. Went out today with the wife around noon, and within minutes of stopping the boat i had probably 75 to 100 bugs all over me. In my nose. in my ears and i had enough. Went to 3 mile bay and hung out and got a little burnt. All in all a beautiful day to be on the water.
-
The bugs are insane and highly irritating!
-
Fished midlake last night and this morning with my 13 son. We caught 2 walleye jigging last night and lost a 3rd (8-11 fow), but couldn't manage any walleyes this morning. Sounds like we would've had more action on the east end, but we still had fun. It sure was some beautiful weather this weekend. Just bought a place on the south shore and i'm looking forward to hitting the lake with my 2 boys more than 1-2 times per year.

I went out yesterday afternoon with my wife for a bit and the bugs were crazy and it was hot. I ran her back in and came back out and fished for a while. I checked a bunch of spots and most of the fish I marked were hugging bottom. Finally hit a nice smallie jigging then a keeper eye. The wind picked up so I threw out a spinner and picked up another keeper eye. So I threw out 2 spinners and they started getting hammered....by white perch! I caught 6 or 7 fast. I headed in after that.
It seemed more like "normal" Oneida lake fishing out there yesterday.

Got out this morning at day break. had my limit by 7:30 :o. droped 3, lost 2 at the boat, a huge largemouth, and 2 pickerals. a great morning on the west end, but man was it rough !! 5' waves !! all fish were caught on a black jig with purple tinsel on 6lb fireline in 12 fow. the water temp. was 63. later...
-
Y'all are killing me! :D I haven't been on the water since mothers day! Hopefully I'll be able to hit the evening bite after work at least once this week.
-
Killn em! Good work!

Walleyes hugging the bottom + big bug hatches = walleyes feeding heavily on emerging larva !

Nicely done!
The surface water temp was 75 yesterday in the afternoon before the wind came up.

Big Jim - where's the real story why the boat broke down lol!!!!!!!!!!! You gotta be nicer to that old boat, it's like a best friend to me.
I got out Friday and went after some pre-season smallies and had a good time with an old friend of mine. I usually pick up a few eyes mixed in but I didn't touch any but I was pretty shallow and it was a bright day. We ended up 30 bass between us, actually a little slow, for the month of May anyway, comming off that cold night Thursday. I quite early because my trolling motor was giving me problems, it cuts out everytime I turn. I checked for lose wires and took a couple things apart I probably shouldn't have but I can't find the problem. There aren't a lot guys that work on electric trolling motors. Anybody know where to take it?

I'm in the beginning phases of building a new home in the Toad Harbour area the last few days and the bugs are terrible. In a matter of 2 minutes my truck is covered in those nasty things!!!! I just got back to my office and found one in a tissue after I blew my nose!!! :cursing:--KP 8)

got out this morning at day break again. brought my niehbor out with me. we got 3 walleyes, and 5 pickerals. dumped a few also. water temp. is 66. that rain we had yesterday was warm. it wasn't as rough as yesterday. the target depth is still 12fow. later...
-
Spent 4 days Thursday Thu Sunday last week with 10 guys on the east end. Put 110 in the box plus too many shorts to count. Majority on harnesses. Depth didn't seem to matter 10 to 30 ft. It was awsome! Didn't want to come home. Back at work now dreaming of my next trip! This is the best site in the forum. Lots of great information. Thanks
-
Forgot to mention, marked fish on bottom in 43fow on the way in and jigged up a 21" eye after a few mins. Then left for home.
-
Anyone still getting them from shore the last few nights at all?

Anyone know of a decent place to rent a boat on oneida for a fair price?

My Dad and I got our limit this morning 10 to 14 FOW. The Brown and White jig out performed the Black and Purple the past few outings
-
me my dad and a friend of mine got out today caught our limit and released idk how many 16fow was our best depth
-
Got to the lake just in time to watch a big storm move in from the NW. Lake went from millpond to scary in a matter of minutes while we watched. Ditched fishing & went to Flo's for dinner...that place has to be the best value for a meal of anywhere I've ever been- and they've been doing it a long time! Beautiful crazy sky on the way home & an awesome rainbow...always a great trip- fish or not!
-
went out Friday , Saturday and Sunday was finished fish by 9:30 ea day with 6 for me and the wife plus released at least a dozen more each day plus some bonus Perch.

only got a light rain for about 1 minute on the west end. just east around constantia got hammered. and absolutley beautiful rainbow just before dark ;D. later...
-
Picked up a limit of eater walleyes from the rocks at Oneida Shores tonight. Caught a few smallmouths and a sheephead too.
Nice night to be out with the stiff breeze and lack of bugs !
-
Hit the lake last night with icecutter. We got out just in time for that rain to come through. We hit a couple white perch and then decided to head in and wait out the rain because of the wind and thunder. We drank a few pops in the boathouse and BSed a bit. After the rain delay we decided to give it a whirl for the last hour or so of daylight.
We ended up jigging up 8 eyes, 3 keepers. Also picked up about 8 whites and 1 yellow. We dumped and missed a bunch of fish. The eyes were in 25' - 28'.
Here is that rainbow. It was actually a double rainbow. It was a beautiful night out there.

I don't post much here since I'm just now in the process of putting my own boat in the water, but was a great night fishing with reeleyz. Lost time due to weather, but did well while we were out there. Hey Reeleyz, I thought you said a Purple bucktail was just an 'Ol wives tale?? ;D ::)

The man hit on 81 died yesterday morning. He was a friend I've known since childhood. He had a heart of gold. I had a big brown trout in his freezer, that I was saving up to have mounted. He took a taxidermy class, and surprised me one Christmas Eve with a beautiful mount of my trout. It hangs in my livingroom, and will always remind me of all the good times we had. I hope he had his limit when he was hit. Great guy.
Thank you to all who sent their condolences. They were very appreciated. There's a good bunch of people on here.
Tight lines everyone.
-
Flo's is the best Hollywood. Gotta love big cheap food.
I might get out on the lake tonight. I saw a lot of those giant sunfish following my bass stuff in last week. I'll take my daughter out tonight to see if I can get her into some of those. 4lb test and a small crank bait works great on those big sunnies.

Finally got over the cold Ive had so we decided to head out last night, saw the storm on the north shore so decided against exploring the west shoals and headed to maple bay where ive had some success jigging.Blue skies. Dropped our lines in and the storm had done a nice 180 and in about 2 min, my buddy got to experience the quick condition changes Ive been telling him about and the storm was right on top of us.(https://www.myfishfinder.com/fishing_forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi48.tinypic.com%2F33p57c6.jpg&hash=756c06da1ec0b69b147c3e2e906c8504)Threw some ponchos on and floored it for the shore, had to drive pasy my house again and motored at my top speed of 22mph right through it to the west end of frenchmans. Ive been pickin up 2-3 nice eyes a trip but none of the huge success you guys have been having, this is my first may fishing for eyes. Decided to just do what worked for me last year,trolling. Picked up about 7 huge white perch and sunnies until I moved to around 20 fow. It was gorgeous out one of the most vivd rainbows Ive ever seen.(https://www.myfishfinder.com/fishing_forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi50.tinypic.com%2F25q6lvc.jpg&hash=0481c259455a1b2767958b26430fdb9a) Trolling was the key picked up 4 nice ones on 4 passes a 20,19,18,17. One of the best sunsets Ive seen too.

My new boat comes next week then Ill be heading east to troll and stayin west to bass fish. Any advice on what stickbaits are worth trying would be rgeat. I have planers and snap weights to go along with the bottom bouncers and harnesses Ive been running.We had a blast out there. Just visited my gfs camp which is on henderson harbor on the big lake, doing as much research as possible to try to go up and get some monster eyes up there with the new boat as well as the trout/salmon. Going to be a great summer!Ive learned more on this site in 2 years then I did in the 20 before that living on Oneida because I never had anyone to teach me.Thanks guys!(https://www.myfishfinder.com/fishing_forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi49.tinypic.com%2F2jcv5w2.jpg&hash=dec9bcc6d570c54616762d3a4d3653b2)

just used harnesses no stickbaits. i have a few jr challengers.just havent been down east much
-
Nice job gators!
If you already have the inlines and snaps just experiment with harnesses and sticks. They both have their days. You can also try some big cranks like reef runners, they can get down to about 30' depending on what line you use.
You can also try leadcore with sticks or spoons. The action from jerking leadcore always puts the most eyes in my boat in the dead of summer. Most days the leadcore out does the inlines for me but sometimes the inlines have their days too.
So many options, so little time. ;D

Last time I was out was Sat. night with coach on the boat. Fished North shore from 5-14 fow. Picked up 2 keepers each, dropped a couple each, I dropped a nice eye 10 foot in front of the boat changing direction of my rod angle. Some bass for bonus fights also. The drums are piled up pretty heavy in the shallows now. Never did hook up on one. Only pic we took was my first fish for some reason. I guess taking a break at the boathouse made me forget to use the camera the rest of the evening. ::)

Good reports guys, wish we were hitting the numbers as some of ya's. Looks like one guy and his 4 day fishing crew was only like 10 fish from making the OLLC! ;D

Super weather shots reeleyes and gator, I especially like your first one gator, always liked approaching storms.
I'm going through withdrawals, a property work week ... no fishin.... >:(

I figured if I added some nice pictures it would distract you guys from the small numbers of fish im catching haha, im having a blast learning all this trolling stuff but its very overwhelming. Trying to get gear set up to do the browns and salmon in ontario is alot of research thats for sure. Especially because I wont be up and running until mid june. Seems ;ike the henderson harbor area ill have to rely on the henchen marina for some info when I go up to buy a ton of tackle from them. Just hope some of those giant eyes are still around. As odd as it seems I think I have the setups down for salmon with a 2 wire dipsey rod and 2 mono downrigger setup. Just not sure how thatll relate to the browns. I know they are shallow now but im june will be deep also. so much to read.
Anybody having fun with the bass yet?Ive seen some monsters cruising under my dock and im excited to have some bass only days. I like taking the less hardcore people out for bass its alot more enjoyable when you just want to catch and release. I feel like I have the right tackle this year just lookin for some new spots. Thanks guys

most of the guys don't like the summer scene but i like the summer eye fishing but not the heat , try him out on the ice and see how he does , the last couple of years it has not been the norm , maybe this year guys will have to work for them which is a little more like it should be , but you guys did end up with a nice bunch of meals , nice job :bowdown:

Wow what a morning Freddy, I'll never forget it as long as I live, I don't fish off boats often in the month of May, man I didn't know what I was missing.. Hadn't fished since last Sunday and that day I got spanked by my 2 buddies bad, today was redemption, I put 33 eyes in the boat(a personal best for me for one morning) and we did well over 50 together, the first couple hours it was like fishing fish creek before the opener. Crazy .....They were active for whatever reason, sometimes you would get bit 3 times in the same cast, we dumped so many fish it was hard to keep track. Fished 530am til noon, most fish coming the first 2 hours. We were jigging sonars and bucktails...... it reminded me of ice fishin Fred.....Thanks for taking me.. I'm off to bed.....;D
Our limit plus some 9 1/2 inch bull sunfish.

Wired...My grandparents lived in the huge metropolis of Deleware, NJ which isn't far from Stroudsburg. As a kid (I'm an old man now) I loved going down there and climbing the hills around town. Just curious as to how you fish for shad (shad darts?) and if you fish anywhere near Deleware?
-
I like a shad dart with a 18"leader to a flutter spoon. I used everything from a sonar, bucktail, and a black ghost streamer yesterday and got fish. Good year to be down here.

Fished with the kids last night from 7-9pm. Caught 2 walleye and dropped another right at the boat. Kept a few sunnies and perch as well. Fished again this morning and picked up 1 walleye, but caught everything else the lake has to offer. They were busy enough and had fun. Jig and worm for all fish in a variety of depths, but mostly under 15ft in Billington Bay. It was a really nice morning out there today! I have now fished 5-6 different times (for an hour each time) with sonars and with the expception of 1 drum i've have yet to catch a walleye. From what i've read on here i'm jigging it correctly, but just can't connect.
-
We ended up with 7 keeper walleye, two gigantic pumpkin seeds, two big ole smallies and about 8 missed fish. It was a tough bite but the jig and worm did the best at all depths around humps.
We were headed out from where we launched and there was a white dog at the bow of the boat and hollywood on a phone and probably his limit before we even threw a line in.

Fished this great weather from sylvan, lewis pt, lakeport, shackelton and deep water from 7-1pm with friends. Got into keeper eyes exploring the lake today. And a mess of short eyes n yellows jigging raps when the lake went to glass noontime. The gf caught this unknown. Whitefish???

Ok all you walleye diehards, I just lost one of my guys for my fly in float plane trip to northern Quebec, Medical Reasons, I have an opening for one, the trip leaves July 1 and returns on the 8th We are booked with Air Tamarac to lake Hebert,One of the best if not the best walleye fishing lake in Quebec. I have there state of the art new cabin it has all the newest Tec you will find in a remote cabin, We are serious fishermen If I'm not puting 150 walleyes in my boat a day I'm having a bad day. So if interested or know someone who might be my contact info [email protected] or call me 860 402 3209 Ron for more info Thanks

Went out last night for a couple of hours with my wife. I decided it might be better to slow troll since it was dead calm. So I set up 4 boards, 2 with worm harnesses and 2 with deep thundersticks. We had constant action. We ended up with 8 keepers and missed and lost several. The bites were pretty much even between the tsticks and harnesses. We were fishing in 15' - 25'. We were trolling about 1.3 MPH.
The bugs were out big time. Here is how she decided to avoid them. ;D

I made it out there from 545 til 10am on my buddy ryans boat, early on sort of sucked I picked a couple loser spots then around 9am we found some good action on our third spot til the storm started making one of my rods start vibrating and humming, through it on the bottom of the boat and took off, didn't quite beat it, got a little wet. fished the east end, didn't feel like fighting an early morning east wind on the west end.. I ended up with 6 eyes and ryan got his limit, plus dumped some ..... a few other things like whities and sunfish, Ryan got a monster 13 inch jumbo, we hit a bass spot quick too and had some fun with some enormous smallmouth. wish the storm held off, was having alot of fun fishing a few places I've never tried before.

Never forget the first time we experienced that! Many moons ago out on Oneida. Our jigs wouldnt sink from the electrostatic energy holding the line off the water. This was along time ago(metal components) and Tank was getting a spark from the reel to the reel seat/hand every few turns of the reel handle. Out around shackelton and took off for Clevenald!

had that happen to my wife, and I. we were perch fishing, and we were slammin em just before a storm. I told my wife we had to go, she said just one more fish, when lighting hit the water about 1/4 mile from us, and she could feel it through the pole !! needless to say, she was done fishing !! the pole hit the floor, and she headed for the cabin for the ride in. had to go by compass for a little bit, because evrything turned white. we hid behind short point until the storm passed. to this day my wife won't go with me if there's storms in the air !! sully...

Has anyone else noticed all the adult shad everywhere you look on the surface of Oneida?, it doesn't matter if your in 5 feet or 40 feet, they are everywhere.. Man theres gonna be the shad hatch of the century in another month or so... walleyes could be pretty full going into this upcoming ice season.

Yeah. Last week I saw a ton of 'em. What kind of shad are they though? I'm pretty sure they aren't gizzard shad, which is what I thought were predominant forage in Oneida. American Shad??
I can remember fishing in the Seneca river almost 20 years ago near Onondaga Lake park and seeing them piled up dead on the shoreline by the hundreds. A game warden told me it was totally normal.
I've seen a ton of them when I was working on the Oswego River.

From my understanding those are your breeder gizzards. Some hickory's too.

Gizzard Shad Species Profile
Compiled by Dan O'Keefe, May 2008
Etymology:
This shad is named for its muscular, gizzard-like stomach. It is also known as a sawbelly because of the keeled scales found between the anal fin and gills.
Life History:
A Lake Erie study found that shad reach 5.5 inches at the end of their first year and 10 inches by the end of their second year. Most individuals spawn first during their third
year of life. By this time, they have grown large enough to avoid most predators. In Lake Erie, shad can live for up to six years.
Diet:
Early in life, the gizzard shad feeds on microscopic zooplankton. Large shad consume detritus (decomposing organic matter) and algae in addition to zooplankton. Shad also ingest sand, which probably serves to grind up detritus and algae in their gizzard-like stomach and aid in digestion. The ability of shad to use low-quality food sources in addition to high-quality zooplankton contributes to its abundance. When high shad abundance leads to a decline in zooplankton, shad switch to eating detritus, bringing nutrients from the bottom sediments back into suspension. This leads to increased algae, and therefore zooplankton, production in open water. In can also lead to muddy water and decreased growth rate of bluegill.
Size & Master Angler Entries:
Gizzard shad are not commonly caught due to their preference for microscopic prey. They do occasionally strike small spinners, spoons, flies, or live bait. The Michigan State Record is 4 pounds, 2 ounces. Recordclass shad can exceed 20 inches in length.
Overwinter mortality of gizzard shad Dorosoma cepedianum has been attributed to starvation, cold stress, and predation; however, the interactions among these factors are not well understood and can change across winter. We evaluated possible causes for overwinter mortality of age-0 gizzard shad through a combination of experiments and field sampling during the winters of 2005–2006 and 2006–2007. In the first experiment, gizzard shad were placed into cages in Oneida Lake, New York, during three time periods prior to ice formation. The fish exhibited low mortality at temperatures above 8°C but high mortality (>75%) in all cages as temperature dropped below 8°C. We observed no consistent patterns of length-dependent mortality or changes in total percent dry weight (DW). However, the viscerosomatic index (VSI) decreased during all time periods, indicating disproportionate use of visceral tissues. In the second experiment, gizzard shad were exposed to temperature treatments of 1, 2, and 4°C in experimental cold rooms. Little mortality occurred as temperature dropped from 8°C to 4°C, but mortality increased after temperature reached 4°C and was highest in the two coldest treatments. Within a temperature treatment, small fish died faster, and mortality exhibited a weak negative correlation with VSI and percent DW. Average size of fish in field collections increased through the winter, indicating higher mortality of smaller individuals and proportional changes in somatic DW and visceral DW. Results from both experiments and the field collections suggest that cold stress and an inability to acclimate—rather than starvation—are driving gizzard shad mortality at low temperatures.
Received December 2, 2010; accepted May 26, 2011
Young gizzard shad Dorosoma cepedianum can have dramatic effects on ecosystem structure because their high consumptive demand can eliminate crustacean zooplankton populations. The objective of this study was to examine diel feeding chronology of age-0 gizzard shad (25–89 mm total length), as well as their daily ration and consumption of Daphnia spp., in Oneida Lake during 1991 and 1992. Gastric evacuation titres, treasured experimentally, were faster for fish fed continuously (0.8–1.8 h) than for fish fed single meals of zooplankton (4.0–7.2 h) and were influenced by fish size. In Oneida Lake, young gizzard shad exhibited a diel feeding cycle; gut fullness gradually increased to a maximum during 1100–1900 hours and declined during the night. Juvenile gizzard shad shifted from a diet of exclusively zooplankton in July to a combination of zooplankton, algae, and detritus in August. Estimates of total daily ration ranged from 1.2 to 21.3% of wet body weight, and total daily ration of young gizzard shad increased with fish size. Our estimates of daily ration, based on fish feeding continuously during the day and digesting a single meal at night, closely approximated the maximum daily field ration of age-0 gizzard shad in Oneida Lake. The Daphnia population in Oneida Lake collapsed during July 1991, and Daphnia consumption by gizzard shad dropped sharply with it; from dietary considerations, the collapse could have been caused by a density of approximately 300,000 age-0 gizzard shad per hectare. In 1992, Daphnia production remained strong during July and August, and Daphnia consumption by gizzard shad did not decline. Because young gizzard shad can switch from zooplankton to phytoplankton as an alternative food source, we hypothesize that gizzard shad have a greater influence on growth and survival of age-0 yellow perch Perca flavescens than yellow perch have on gizzard shad, because yellow perch rely more on Daphnia as a primary food

Gizzard shad have a distinct appearance with a blunt, rounded snout hanging over a small mouth. They have a long filament on the back end of the dorsal (back) fin, and a row of pointed scales called “scutes” down the belly. Gizzard shad have a deep body that is silver with bluish upper sides and back. A small purple dot appears behind the gill flap, but this disappears during midlife.
Gizzard shad are quiet water fish that live in lakes, bays, and sluggish rivers. They prefer clear water, though they can tolerate high turbidity areas. Gizzard shad are filter feeders, and are one of New York's few freshwater fish that eat mostly plant material, phytoplankton, and algae. To eat, gizzard shad take water or mud into their mouths and then strain it though a set of rakes on their gills. Water and sediment are removed, and the food is captured and eaten. To grind and break up this plant matter, gizzard shad possess a unique muscular stomach called the gizzard.
Gizzard shad spawn during the summer (April-June) in streams and shallow water. Females produce 200,000-400,000 eggs, which sink to the bottom where they stick to anything they come in contact with. Eggs hatch in 2-4 days and the hatchlings feed on zooplankton.
Gizzard shad are not native to Oneida Lake. They were first documented here in the 1950’s, and probably invaded via the canal system that connects Oneida Lake with Lake Ontario. They disappeared shortly after their initial introduction, but were reintroduced through the flooding events that came with Hurricane Agnes. Today, gizzard shad are an important food source for many gamefish and are vital to the walleye here in Oneida Lake. However, gizzard shad are only vulnerable to predation during their early life stages because adults are too large for freshwater predators. If not kept under control, populations can grow rapidly and may become a problem. Along with the unchecked adult population, gizzard shad are not exciting to catch and are not good to eat, leading most anglers to consider them a nuisance species.

Hit the water for the first time since mothers day. They weren't where I left them! Fished the flat in 20ish feet and never got a hit. Headed out to 109 area and picked up two and lost my third at the boat. Then they shut down. Made it to shore before the rain hit. Seems early to be in the deeper water. Seen a couple large schools of buckeyes, but no fish under them.

Dark Cloud....me and a buddy had the same experience a few years back with the line keeping the shape of a rainbow as the lure sank and the line would stay in the air. We both casted as far upwards as possible to see what would happen and the line just made a bigger rainbow. ...were smart ones hey. We got freaked out and got in just before the storm hit....pretty cool stuff

You guys are killing me I haven't got out much at all this year and it sounds like it has been game on. I completely disassembled my electric motor because nobody would work on it. The guy at Aero Marine said they used to service them but Minn Kota requires service shops to spend $2000.00 on parts/year or they won't allow them to be an authorized serivce center, they don't the manuals etc... Thanks for the great service Minn Kota, I won't buy another one. I figured I might as well take it apart and either fix it or completely break it and buy a new one. Turns out the neg wire that runs throught the shaft had worn away and needed to be replaced. Now I just have to put it together, I am pretty good at taking stuff apart, not quite as good at putting it together. If it works out I'm heading out tommorow afternoon, can't wait to get out.

Good call Shane....beat me to it!!! ;D Is there bass in this lake?? ::) LOL!

Could you Sonar "pro's" educate me as to how to use this lure? Do you vertical jig it or cast it? Are you swimming it or hard jigging it? I assume the hits occur on the drop so is line watching important? Any help on how to do this will be greatly appreciated. I mostly just drift for eyes with a jig and a worm and would really know how to use the sonar. Thanks.

Yes to all the above. Snagger and Hollywood are the ones to answer your questions on sonars. I have more luck with jigs but you can fish it all the ways you asked about.

You guys are killing me I haven't got out much at all this year and it sounds like it has been game on. I completely disassembled my electric motor because nobody would work on it. The guy at Aero Marine said they used to service them but Minn Kota requires service shops to spend $2000.00 on parts/year or they won't allow them to be an authorized serivce center, they don't the manuals etc... Thanks for the great service Minn Kota, I won't buy another one. I figured I might as well take it apart and either fix it or completely break it and buy a new one. Turns out the neg wire that runs throught the shaft had worn away and needed to be replaced. Now I just have to put it together, I am pretty good at taking stuff apart, not quite as good at putting it together. If it works out I'm heading out tommorow afternoon, can't wait to get out.
Slam,
Shermerhorns (sp) up by Alex Bay, United In Utica, and supposedly a guy in Oswego (don't know shops name) all service Minn Kota. To tell you the truth, Minn Kota's are real easy to work on yourself, parts are easy to get, and customer service is great. I have owned both Minn Kotas and a lot of Motor Guides, I will never go back to the Motor Guides.

got out this morning. 1st zero of the year >:( :'( :-\. 2 pickerals. the lake was upside down from the storm yesterday. oh well. it was a beautiful mornong. later...
-
Finally got a chance to hit the water after work tonight. Haven't been fishing in almost two weeks because of an outage at work. The lake was rocking pretty good when I got there, but settled down nice just before dark. There were fish in just about every hole I stopped at, but they weren't in the mood for a sonar or bucktail. Thought it was going to be a sad story, but my last stop produced 7 walleyes in about a dozen casts with a sonar. I guess it only takes 15 minutes to make a bad trip into a good one. Could've stayed and got more, but I'm whipped from work, so I cut it short.

ut oh .... do we have to start working for them now?, seen some guys working the buoy line when I drove over 81 earlier, looked like they knew what they were doing, wish I could of stopped and watched for a bit.
Nice finish Jim!!!!
They should have a pickeral/white bass derby every weekend.
-
pickerel have been insane on the west end this year. some of the white perch have been the size of nice smallmouth bass. both love my challenger jr minnows. so does everything on this lake though its a hell of a lure. my new boat is here getting prepped and should be ready by the weekend. excited to get down east for some trolling.last year it did much better trolling for the eyes in june july east but when your top speed is 21 and you only have 5 gallons of gas it can be an interesting trip if the weather is questionable. anybody messing with the bass?i always end up in shallow looking for some big boys but the numbers are probably out deeper by the shoals.
really excited for this year,im ordering my equiptment for kings now and i think im going to trailer up to the eastern basin next week to see if any of those monster eyes are still around

Thanks man, I ended up fixing it myself and it actually works. I got out yesterday and started on the walleye, got my limit in about 45 minutes then switched to the bass and had an absolute blast. I won't put a number on here because I don't know if anybody would believe it but lets just says my arms are sore. First time out in a while and it was nice to get into them like that.

For anyone interested, the huge white bass (not white perch) are stacked up under the Rt.81 bridge near the Castaways restaurant.
We got our fill this morning . 31.5 lbs of beautiful firm fillets was the total tally. They're big fish ! Most in the 14 to 17 inch range !

Fished with a buddy of mine this morning from 7:00 to 11:00 just east of Billington in 18-25 fow. Caught 4 in the first hour, but it took a couple more hours to get out limit. Picked up a bass, sunfish and a couple of drum. A bit rough out there, but we had fun. All fish caught on jig and minnow. Fished a sonar for the last 1/2 hour with no success..... again. Not for the lack of effort though!

Maybe that area just isn't a sonar spot, its kind of a deep water thing, I rarely run my sonar under 22 fow, this spring i found a few spots shallower that produced with the sonar, but most times I like running it a little deeper.

Nice smallies Larry and jr. I think after sunday I'm going into bass mode too for a bit. well back to mowing, looks like a nice last hour down there tonight before the east winds kick up tomorrow.

Heading to Black Lake tonight with a friend that has a camp there. Gonna try for some eye's, and some crappies. Hope to post some pics on Saturday. FISH ON.
-
Nice, what were you throwing?
They were surfacing while chasing buckeyes so when we saw that, I put on a 1/2 oz silver and white Rooster tail spinner. Soon as it hit the water, they were on iot. Got sick of digging trebles out of their throat so switched to a 3" swimbait with a 3/0 Musatad Ultra Point wide gap hook. 1/4 oz bullet sinker in front for casting distance due to the wind.

Munson...Years ago someone told me that the Oneida Lake white perch are good eating but not the white bass. Obviously you don't agree. How do you prepare them?

I can't speak for him , but I enjoy them grilled with XVOO and you're favorite dry rub . There is a bloodline that can be scooped out with a spoon after cooking , I don't but to each their own . They are mini Strippers to me ... Nice firm fillets that can be flipped with tongs and stay together well and have a buttery flavour .

Hit the lake this afternoon with my father in law. We fished from 4:00 til 6:30. There was a perfect chop for a nice drift, we just had to take our time getting out there. We ended up catching 10 eyes, 9 keepers, a yellow, a fat sunny, a smallie, and a sheepie. The spinners were king today with that nice drift. It seems like the worm harness bite is getting better. We caught fish from 12' - 28'. The weather was awesome too.

you left right when we got out there. last trip in the little camo boat the nice new center console comes tomorrow. i trolled with harnesses as well and picked up 3 nice eyes in an hour and a half. only 3 because i was getting blown all over in the little boat and couldnt stay deep enough. it calmed down right at 8 for the ride in. i havent put a jig in the water in the last 3 trips i spend all my time running the boards and steering its a blast. im going to start going after bass soon anybody else targeting them? challenger jr minnow and spinners worked for me last time. looking forward to venturing around the lake more with the new boat.i need to work on deeper water bass fishing im always in under 10 feet. i get some nice ones just not the big numbers.
it was gorgeous out there tonight
-
what kind of boat did you get gator?

Had the pleasure of having my buddy Hollywood fishing with me tonight. It is probably the last trip on my "old" boat. I will be picking my new boat up tomorrow morning. Pretty excited about that!
The lake was rocking pretty good in the late afternoon, so Tom suggested that we take in a meal at Flo's, since the hot bite where we were fishing doesn't kick in until the sun starts to set.
After we fueled up on meatloaf, a cheeseburger and way too many french fries, we set out for the fishing grounds. We had to search a little, but we ended up finding them. They can't hide from 'ol Hollywood.
The lake stayed choppy right up until quitting time, and the moon is shining bright. The bite was a little weird. We got our limit (plus a few), but we each dropped way too many. We threw sonars. Maybe it was a bucktail night. Who knows.
All in all it was a great night of fishing with one of the best fishermen I have ever met.
Tom is tangled again in my tangle-free net!!

fremac marine? they had a 185 in stock and its what sold me on a scout just didnt want one that size or the price tag that came with it. ended up ordering one through them so i could have it built how i wanted even got the fancy aqua blue color. should see it for the first time tomorrow.
want to get up to the big lake next week. i have my gear for kings pretty planned out but i want to get out for browns next week and im alittle lost where to start. might try out of henderson harbor or head to oswego. definately need to hit up a few stores for a bunch of spoons and stickbaits for the browns. and i thought the river was alot of info to learn this is crazy....

Been working the North shore 2-3 days a week with Coach. Pumping cranks and jigs from the shore and bringing the boat out also working a trolling technique at 1.2 mph. Working no deeper than 12 fow. Tonights success was from the shore line. We had to leave our hot spot , cause it was trouble.....every 2 casts was a fish!!! Don't have that every day as an angler as we all know, tonight was good friends.

Well our latest round of suprise guests leaves today. We've had the pleasure of spending a week with our oldest before he went off to boot camp, and then another week with my mother. I'm ready for some fishing and jig tying!
The new plugs seemed to help a little, but she still doesn't like to start when she's warm. This is the first trouble we've had in six seasons, but as long as she starts I'm going fishing!
Keep the reports coming!

Fished from 6:00-10:00 today with an older friend. Today i started out with a Sonar, and after 1/2 hour and 2 sunfish.... it happened. I caught my first walleye with a sonar. Then another, and another. 18-22 fow. I suddenly have the confidence to switch from a jig to a sonar! :-) ;D
Snagger, thanks for the advice. I have tried it deeper and shallower, so maybe 1/2 the time i was fishing it was unproductive water. Got em today though! Sonars definately outperformed the jigs today!
It was rough but fun out there today. With today's east wind I was surprised to find the fish weren't far from where they were yesterday when we had a west wind.
I'll be back in a couple of weeks to give it another try....

Back from fishing Black Lake with a friend, Managed 5 keeper eye's from 19 to 23inches. Fished most of the day friday until the rains moved in but we stuck it out for 2 hrs. Used sonars in 15ft of water. Gold seemed to be the hot color. Got a nice 21 inch pig under the edwardsville bridge friday night at 1am on a black and silver husky jerk. I had 8 walleyes right in front of me a foot and a half off shore, But only 1 taker that night. Love the walleyes in black lake, BIG AND FAT. 18in limit and only had one at 17 that we had to throw back. Got there at 10:30 thursday night and left this morning at 7:45am. Not bad for a day of fishing. The hard part was finding them. And thats my report from BLACK LAKE.

You guys did great! :thumbup_smilie:

Do you just jigs the sonars like jigs? I assume? I'm going to try them in the morning for the first time ever.. Any tips?
I have been trying to read through the posts, but there is a ton to read through so i figured i would just ask

Yes, I jig them and so did the guy i was with. Pretty much every fish hit the sonar on the way down. We didn't jig them hard, Just a nice lift. But once we found them on bottom and suspended on the graph we just kept drifting over the same spot and through a marker out when we caught the first one. Good luck and let us know how you did? FISH ON.

Nice, you using 1/4 or 1/2 oz. sonars? I've been doing Ok in that area drifting a bottom bouncer with a spinner and worm.

1/2 oz. Where you out there yesterday?
-
1/2 oz. Where you out there yesterday?
Nope. Almost done with Black Lake for the rest of the warm season. I don't like the "pea soup" "green", "bathwater" in the summer months. I turn my attention to the St. Lawrence until ice comes in.

well it was a little lumpy today but did find a few eyes and that new rod and reel worked just fine
hey KP you know how hard you can set a hook with a 7.5 ft rod :o
got another one KP ;)

Me and fred got a pile of those yesterday jigging sonars, nice one hollywood.. I had something just start going and wouldn't stop, broke 12lb. leader like nothing...We got our limit of eyes, but it took some time to re find em after that blow...what a chop out there. looks bumpy again mid day today.

Headed out to the white bass grounds shortly. Hopefully, the winds won't be as bad this morning as yesterday.

I knew you were a trash fisherman at heart :rotflol: :rotflol: :rotflol: I think those walleyes you get are just by accident ;D

fished with the snag today got our limit of eyes for the tourny but fell way short on weight about mid pac , but had fun and caught at least 30 sheepshead little early for those in the spots we fished ,and a few monster sunnies , and a couple of smallies , and got a nice couple of showers
-
Well I learned alot in the last 2 days Fred. Never realised how little eyes weigh til you enter a tournament, I've only weighed maybe 3 eyes in my life...Alot of talented fishermen in the tournament, I was impressed.... 3 18's a 20 and a 17 1/2 I thought was reasonable considering the wind, but not even close, just couldn't keep those dam sheepsheads off our lines or find a couple pigs.....had a blast Fred, can't wait to do it again next year. Got to meet hammer for the first time. long 2 days of jigging, think my arms going to fall off. good stuff. ;D
-
yep there was a lot of talent there for sure , well thats 1 under our belt , maybe a open lake eye ice tourny for eyes or perch would be fun ,instead of confining guys to just a part of the lake, many of us don't fish , and snag next year is a date and hope it is a normal year and by the way to top spots were jiggers and pitchers , but i will get you out and show you everything i know about trolling in about 5 min. ,
-
definately got tough after thursday out there for me. Did well thursday then struggled the weekend. Stayed at buddies on lake was out early and late. Just couldnt get em. tried sonars jigging spinners and trolling. OH well thats why its fishing. Is there a web site to see the weights for the tourney?? Looked like a good turn out. Good fishin all.

I swear I catch bigger eyes trolling or throwing sticks than jigging.
It always seems like getting decent eyes on Oneida is a crap shoot.
How many teams were there?

read these blogs everyday trying to learn as im new to walleye fishing.. so then i go out in the boat after and throw black and purple like all you do and sonar(theres 50 different colors) and of course nothing. what the hell am i doing wrong? how do you know what depth to even fish? or where? any bit helps 8) another thing I see is some people barley lift to jig while others lift there rod so high i think the jig jumps outta the water (just kidding there but...)
-
Spent the weekend rigging up my new boat. I'm in heaven boys ... at least til July (that's when the payments start, LoL). Been putting in lots of hours at work, as well, but should be getting her wet tomorrow morning. One of the things I did was I put a HDS-5x up at the bow and connected it to my HDS-5 at the console by ethernet ... so if you fish with me ... you'll be able to see what I see on the graph. Mainly it was to keep my girlfriend quiet. She's constantly asking how deep we are and if we are going up hill or down hill.
Hey limit of 3 ... don't be too hard on yourself. You can't figure it all out instantly ... believe me. I've been fishing that lake for over 20 years, and I'll guarantee that I have logged in many more fishless days than not. Don't over-think things. Walleyes are more-or-less just big perch. Their brain is the size of a pea. In the beginning, I drifted nightcrawlers on a #4 hook and 3 way rig. From there I started pulling spinners (harnesses). By covering lots of water, I started to learn where walleyes hang out at different times of the year. You will see guys lift the jig hard and some guys lift soft. It all works at different times. Sometimes it matters ... sometimes it doesn't. You gotta find out what they want. Usually, in Oneida, if you find structure (humps, shoals, dumping grounds) in 18 to maybe 26 feet of water, there will be a walleye or two there. Find them with your depth finder. They should be starting to school up soon. Jig hard, jig soft, jig a bucktail, jig a sonar ... or just drift a worm with the wind til you figure them out. Good luck.
-
hookinup, good luck with your new boat! put a pic up of it plz! gl fishing on it

Im good buddys with one of the guys on a team that finished in the top 5. They spend alot of time pre-fishing, looking for the "right" fish... ;D

there was 50 teams , i to catch bigger fish trolling sometimes but this year was a little ahead, jig bite was great right up until the big wind during our practice snag put a 25" to the boat and several 20" fish, we were hoping they would still be there we ended up with four 18" and a 20"nice fish , sometime weigh up 5 fish you think that are nice you might be suprised , best 5 i have had came to 15 lbs and that was 2 years ago our weight with those was 9.76 but it was fun, i still need more practice jigging still got some rust sticking to me
nice boat Jim

I feel your pain! It took me a few years to put it all together too. Fortunately i had some help from a felloe member that helped me to start getting some Oneida eyes on the boat. Sonars are still a mystery to me cause i cant catch a thing on em. Jigs with half a worm in 10 - 20 FOW are working for me now. Shackleton Shoals is a good place to start. Lots if structure and eyes galore.
Good Luck
-
Wanted to fish oneida over the weekend but the forcast kept me away. Fished Honeoye Saturday night brought a real pig to the boat but it managed to escape the net. Partner felt bad but it happens. They are hard to come by in Honeoye,lots of weeds to deal with. Hopefully I will make Oneida next weekend!
-
Hit the water early Sunday with a buddy and we had a little trouble finding them. We hit a couple after a few moves in a new area I haven't fished much. Both came on jig/worm and I dumped a couple on sonars. We also got into some sheepies, perch and large sunfish. The next couple weeks will be a learning time for me, until they school up and head deep.
-
bad weather = good fishing on oneida!
I drag worms/spinner whle in search mode-
once you find some cast sonars with the wind
let them sink a full 10 seconds or so to the bottom- rip them up hard drop the rod quick- reel down slow-repeat
sunday was silly!
-
well it was a little lumpy today but did find a few eyes and that new rod and reel worked just fine
hey KP you know how hard you can set a hook with a 7.5 ft rod :o
got another one KP ;)
Jr. and I own 3 of those rods Freddie!! If they are the same as the one you got. That setup really likes to bury the hook!! ;) Great setup for sure!! Got another one Freddie! ;D--KP 8)
nice new boat Jim!! ;)

Real nice boat, worth the wait.

oneida lake, big boat, the picture i got on my computer you can see the fish right under the bow, found another one yesterday just not sure if its a boat, got to go take another look, that was shot on my fishfinder

WASSSSSSSUPPP!!!!! :w00t: Finally back online!! Just spent an hour catching up on the thread. Awesme pics! Nice boat hookinup! Been doing pretty good on the eyes. Have been doing my fishing from shore or outta the canoe. Was out last nite and managed one 20" eye. Sounds like the boat bite is hot!! Later

Good eats ;D Don't you just love the sunnies from Oneida , huge and beautifull . Back when I had my 180 gal fish tank I put an 11 insher in with my Chiclids and it was the best lookin fish in there .... had to take it out tho it was a mean bugger :evil:
-
Made the sunnies for dinner tonite they will never get thrown back again. they were some good eats

You should try em thru the ice ;D ;D

awesome! thank you so much. this whole process is alot to learn. I actually just got in and didnt get any. fished for about 2 hours but i think the weather may have contirbuted to that. Cold as hell out there. but ill wait an hour and everyone will post there limits of catches haha
Do you just try each color untill you get a hit on the sonar? my only thing is i have a very weak depth finder and most likey wont put the money to get a new one so i dont know if the fish are not there or they dont like the jig or not. i see the depth and do know thats accurate but the fish finder part is lacking.
Depth to fish always seems tough to figure out too. its funny becuase it seems like 10 ft you may hit them and 12 you dont?!
what really got me into walleye fishing is fall walleye fishing. But hten again do you use xrap minnows or shad raps and with that colors again and sizes and all!

keep at it ... you'll get it, its not the end of the world if you don't figure out the sonar thing this season... I like the sonar as it gets deeper, bucktail shallow, it flips on itself too much shallow for me, and the bite seems to be more agressive deeper than say about 18-20 feet.

What you guys reading for water temperature now?
-
yesterday was 67.2 - 68.3 where we were
-
Limit of 3, it's been awhile since I actively fished Oneida in a boat; but hopefully I can help. As far as color of the sonars, I've read more on here about gold sonars than any other color. So, stick with gold for starters. As far as colors of crankbaits, I always had the best luck with natural looking lures, like Tennessee Shad, or black and silver or black and gold Rapalas, chartruse too. The Purpledesent color is really beautiful and should work well also. I hope this helps some, just keep it simple and have faith in what you're using. Don't rule out spinner harnesses with a large silver or gold blade...heck even a plain worm hooked in the tip on a gold hook with a walking sinker will work (Lindy Rig). Good luck and keep fishin', you'll get it. I caught more fish just drifting broadside with jigs or worm harnesses on a bottom bouncer than anything in the beginning...then I learned to jig! Sometimes you actively hop it back to the boat and sometimes you lift it up a foot and swim it back to the boat...
-
Nice fish bobber down!! Looks like u guys had fun!! Seems those sunnys are pretty abundant this year.
-
What you guys reading for water temperature now?
We had :evil: 66.6 :evil: plus or minus a few tenths.
Fishing was s-l-o-w for us tonight. Lots of fish there, but they weren't in the mood to chew, but we did get 4 keepers to go. The barometer was hanging at 29.75 for a while. Pretty big drop in water temp over the past few days. Fish are are starting to stack on some of my favorite flats, and the sheepies are hot. Starting to see the beginning of a typical June pattern.
Man those are some nice sunnies Jim. Sweet!

took FM, and Coach out this afternoon before dark. got 18 walleyes, kept 9, 8 pickerals, and Coach got a easy 5lb bass. FM will be posting pics. lost 2 at the boat, and dumped a bunch. the sonar out performed the bucktail by far tonight. 13fow. water temp was 72. I see a little quite temp coming for FM tomorrow !! it was a great time out there !! I will take you 2 out fishin anytime !!
hey hollywood, my dog seemed to take quite a liking to lance also ??? ::) later...

took the new boat out tonight. trolling on its a dream especially with the i pilot. got 4 nice eyes from 17-20in and a jumbo perch. no sonar or gps today did it old school.im out deeper in 20 fow in the west end.going to go east soon for eyes and to explore.did well on shack last year deep. no pics tonight was too busy tryin out all the new stuff and being paranoid as hell about anything happening to the boat. im so happy to never have carpet again! the storm was crazy it wrapped around us then a long thin band hanging like 200 ft over the water stretched from north to south shore it was scary looking but never a drop of thunder or lightening. ran right through the band and came home behind it, wow having 40 mph and a deep hull is a blast. cant wait to try ontario but im nervous as hell about going for these kings. want to get up there for browns asap hopefully I can get my fish finder installed soon, i miss my navionics chip!
any tips on getting these crazy bass numbers you guys report? I always catch them just cruising the shores but not in these great numbers you guys get. I like to take the less hardcore fishing buddies and gf out for bass they enjoy it more. I have the right tackle I think I just end up too shallow but im dying to go flip some sweet beavers in big bay lookin for a big one. I promise pics of the boat soon just wanted to get some nice on the water shots first and the weather has been horrible!
-
Wassssuuupppp Bobby ;D ;D Hey Freddy , you and the Snag are just dialed in on the eaters ;) ;) Sweet boat Hookin Up :-* :-*
those are to big for my taste like them about 16" i throw the 18" and up back , freezer is already full ;D now i only keep fish for some older friends

keep at it ... you'll get it, its not the end of the world if you don't figure out the sonar thing this season... I like the sonar as it gets deeper, bucktail shallow, it flips on itself too much shallow for me, and the bite seems to be more aggressive deeper than say about 18-20 feet.
That's what I have learned this year! Sonars rock the deeper the walleye go. But for anything less than 20 feet, they seem to hook the line a lot more. I've actually been using my jigs this year in the shallower water. In another couple weeks they will be in 30+ feet of water and sonars will become my lure of choice.
What you guys reading for water temperature now?
On Sunday along the east shore and in the canal/Fish Creek, I was reading between 60 and 65 degrees.
Big Jim....keep it quiet about the sunnies... ;D They are tough to beat!
I went out with Issiah Sunday and he schooled me on the BIG sunnies! I took notes though!

got out this morning for a couple hours. got 7 walleyes, kept 3, 9 pickerals, and 1 bass. the brown, and black 1/2 oz jig was it this morning. only 1 on the perch colored sonar. still in 12 to 13fow. water temp is 71. later...

I haven't had a year like this in a long time.do you fish the west end at all? sully...
not really.. I keep a small boat at apps in Cleveland for June and July, this will be my third year there with Rick, kind of hard to get much west of 125 with prevailing west winds, the price of gas and time wasted. My range is usually 113 to 125 and the northshore in that area.

Is that the same as a "Water Spout", Snag?
I used to see them in South Florida every now and then.

went out tonight at 6 wind was blowing dead east. first past in 17 fow got 2 jumbo perch. so fat they were beasts. the wind died so went in to 10 fow and threw some stickbaits just a pickeral and white bass. ive never seen so many giant white bass theyre huge this year. i thought they were the white perch i was catching last year but theyre giant as big as alot of smallmouths. went back out the 20 fow when the wind picked up and got nothing. just did 3 long tracks tonight as i dont have my gps/sonar on the new boat yet. first skunk of the year on eyes down west but still had a great time on the new scout.
-
some of those white bass are brutes for sure how about some pics of those ,on this page it is mostly eyes and sunnies and the occasional yellow perch

Spent the weekend rigging up my new boat. I'm in heaven boys ... at least til July (that's when the payments start, LoL). Been putting in lots of hours at work, as well, but should be getting her wet tomorrow morning. One of the things I did was I put a HDS-5x up at the bow and connected it to my HDS-5 at the console by ethernet ... so if you fish with me ... you'll be able to see what I see on the graph. Mainly it was to keep my girlfriend quiet. She's constantly asking how deep we are and if we are going up hill or down hill.
Hey limit of 3 ... don't be too hard on yourself. You can't figure it all out instantly ... believe me. I've been fishing that lake for over 20 years, and I'll guarantee that I have logged in many more fishless days than not. Don't over-think things. Walleyes are more-or-less just big perch. Their brain is the size of a pea. In the beginning, I drifted nightcrawlers on a #4 hook and 3 way rig. From there I started pulling spinners (harnesses). By covering lots of water, I started to learn where walleyes hang out at different times of the year. You will see guys lift the jig hard and some guys lift soft. It all works at different times. Sometimes it matters ... sometimes it doesn't. You gotta find out what they want. Usually, in Oneida, if you find structure (humps, shoals, dumping grounds) in 18 to maybe 26 feet of water, there will be a walleye or two there. Find them with your depth finder. They should be starting to school up soon. Jig hard, jig soft, jig a bucktail, jig a sonar ... or just drift a worm with the wind til you figure them out. Good luck.
Hey Jim.....I so need to see that new boat of yours, not looking for a ride even. Just wanna check her out. WOOHOO ;D Congrats by the way.

Forgot my sport cam last nigh fishing with Sul, and coach on the west end out of Sul's boat. Took pics with my cell phone, but that's where I have a hard time remembering how to get them forwarded to photobucket. But here is the pics of them walters on the block, before the knife found them. We had a fun night with easy catching on the sonars. I had 2 fish in the bucket in 3 casts, then dropped a bunch, meanwhile Sully and Coach played catch up in short time. By the way Coach.....stop putting my productive jigs in your tackle box! :P Yup, I'm on to your antics now. Here is a pic or two.

Great shot of Jr.!! :thumbup_smilie: :thumbup_smilie: I just got in from an hour of fishing in the canoe. Ended up 6 for 8 on waldos. Beautiful night with the full moon and scattered clouds! I gotta start posting pics!! All fish were caught on rapalas and jigs. Was definately an hour well spent! ;)

Had another great late afternoon and evening on the far west end of the lake . Only issue was that those pesky walleyes kept interfering with our white bass and crappie fishing ! I'd catagorize them on the dumb fish list with largemouth bass right now based on the number we caught on anything that hit the water.
The late afternoon white bass bite was hectic for a short time. We got our fill of nice ones before moving down river a bit to some deep water submerged structure. Just like my buddy predicted, the big white crappies were hanging just over the top of it ! What a blast ! Especially knowing that with the totally snagless drop shot rig that my buddy showed me how to make and fish, I'd never get stuck in the trees and stumps below us.
Had a great time with the kids again ! A few pictures but not the best quality due to my inability to adjust the camera on my cell phone.

Not to start an argument but why don't you go out and try to catch some big white bass in numbers and post some pictures ?
Seems anyone who ventures out on the lake these days are catching walleyes fairly easy and steady.
We tossed back every walleye we caught so no pictures were taken of them. They go back unharmed when they're not the target specie. My freezer is full .
I'm new to the area but got lucky enough to meet a couple guys who know and have fished Oneida lake and river for years. They've taught me more since I met them on the ice this past winter than I'd learn in 20 years on my own. As far as the white crappies go, we never caught a black crappie in that latest flurry. I was put on a spot where I was told there would be an abundance of white crappies and there were ! I can tell you this much, if you go to the mouth of Ess Kay boat yard on the river and cast small silver spoons into the marina and along the big pilings, you'll catch big white crappies ! Just don't go into the marina.
The last time I was out with my buddy, we spotted some fish working the surface on the river. They were white crappies. We caught a bunch before the moved deep.
Don't know what else to tell you. Springtime crappie fishing is mostly for black crappies form what I've witnessed around here . White crappies are a different game. I've learned that recently. ;-)
Half day of work today. Maybe we'll go catch a few walleyes just to please you.......................not ! :-) We're having too much fun with other species right now !

nice job on the white bass munson , and white crappies , and don't worry about the eyes we will try and help out with that ;)

Wow, we really need this crap again on the board?
It's ok for the "PAT ME ON THE BACK SO I FEEL DIFFERENT AND SPECIAL FROM ALL THE REST CLUB" to post up numbers, pics, and tell whatever stories they want, but as soon as someone not in "THE CLUB" posts up some pictures of great results he has to get called out....?
Munson, nice job on the fish. I kept a bunch of whites last year that I labeled differently in my freezer, firm and very tasty, a little stronger than a walleye.
I like Ddots suggestion of blackening them, I think I gotta find some this year and give that a try.
Good luck and keep up the pictures, I am stuck working in canada and only get to fish every other weekend so I get a fix daily.

There was an article in NAFC this month connecting the White Bass to the Eyes , must be true ;D ,JLeaf , there is a number of ways to enjoy them , being firmer than say a eye or a perch they hold up better in a chowda , IMO , or topped with a Ritz cracker crust and baked in a lemon / white wine / butter mix . Stuff em with Crab and Scallops and drizzle them with Hollandaise :thumbup_smilie:

Stuffed with Crab.....Yah man that's the ticket right there.
Now I gotta find some whites when I get home.

All in fun. Didn't even realize I hit the caps lock button.
JJ, I wasn't trying to stir the pot. Just seemed like I was being targeted right after My pic post. Someone needs to comment on stupid walleye. Give it a break. ??? Not looking for a pat on the back from other members, last I knew, everyone liked fish pics.
-
Well those dumb walleye skunked me today? ;D Thought it would be a banner day with the jig in shallow. Nope....a bunch of thumps but nothing aggressive enough except for a few nice smallmouth. I love SMB and drum as a trade off. I hit some deep waters with the same result with harnesses and sonars. That shallow hump has produced real well for me up to now.....I'll be back to the same spot soon :) tight lines to all

ill take pics of the monster white bass that are out there,i throw everything back except for eyes perch sunnies and even those i throw back alot. i like to cook it fresh and never freeze so im mostly out there for fun.seem to have alot more company out the house with the beer battered walleye available though haha

Nice chop out on the lake tonight! Saw some boats out on the north shore on the way back from my boys baseball game. Great night for waldos ;D

Stupid Eyes ::) ::) :thumbup_smilie:

was super rough on south shore at 645 but friends wanted to go out and i wanted to test the new boat so we went out anyway. stayed close to maple bay drifting through the weeds just some pickeral.do the pickeral jump out of the water during the fight for anyone else?its pretty crazy to see. so i picked up my pole and nailed a 22 inch eye on purple black bucktail. stinger hook got it.what a pig great fight and then i saw the gold flash and new it was a nice eye. was exciting on the light tackle. dumped 4 other right at the boat.all had the feel of eyes but hey who knows.
drove in at 830 still rough but by the time i was home it was flat! loving the new boat just havin a rough time without the gps/sonar i only know a few eye spots by heart. casted my money stickbait for 30 mins without a hit.threw the purple black bucktail on and bam. need to put some time in lookin for big bass but this morning a pack of 6 right off my dock had a giant pod of baby perch cornered and was feasting. it looked like something from the discovery channel. pics soon

You are such a non-conformist. KEEP CATCHING THEM WHITES...PLEASE, BECAUSE THEY ARE SUCH SMART FISH, IT TAKES A PIECE OF POOP AND A #2 HOOK TO CATCH EM. NOW TRY TO TARGET SOME REAL GAME FISH, THEN SHOW PICS PLEASE. FUNNY THAT I'VE NEVER MET A PERSON WITH THAT MUCH SUCCESS ON THE WHITE CRAPS ON ONEIDA. ESPECIALLY MY STOMPING GROUNDS....HMMM. SOUNDS LIKKE SENECA RIVER FISH TO ME...........THOSE PESKY WALLEYE......GIVE IT A BREAK PAL, THAT IS A FIRST FOR ME, TO HEAR SUCH NONSENSE. EITHER WAY, LOOKS LIKE FUN WAS HAD, CONGRATS ON THAT. BTH, HOW ABOUT SOME PICS OF THEM "PESKY" WALLEYE"
A "Nonconformist" you say ? You're a funny guy !
2. nonconformist
A nonconformist is a person who does not conform to the trends of the average person. A true nonconformist does what they want to do and not what other people want them to do.
This is not to be confused with an anticonformist, which is a person who does the opposite of what the typical person does.
Anticonformists often call themselfs nonconformists, because they dont know any better.
At a party where the majority of people are drinking:
The conformist would drink till he/she can't drink no more.
The anticonformist would not drink a drop.
The nonconformist would drink as much as he/she feels like drinking.

i was thinking more like sparky , he ate the apple then put it on his head and the coach would never waste a perfectly good apple , the man never misses a beat , my vote is for SPARKY lets put it to a vote and the Coach would never keep a stink log as Buckwheat did ;) and if the price goes up then i'll just let Justin do the work and that would justify the increase ;)

Tonight's report..... Fished with Coach, and Walleye1, allthough the latter probably wouldn't admit it. :D We hit a couple of the normal north shore spots...wading. FM got a big zero, W1 dropped 1 at his feet and Coach got a whopping 17.5". :bowdown: But we had fun, except for the huge goose egg on my left knee from beating it up so much. That's another story though. ;D How did All the "CLUB" members do? Hopefully them stupid walleye jumped into your buckets better than they did ours.

Considering that some seem to be bored of fish pics :nono: I thought that maybe we could change it up for a minute. :-\ I found this spider on my kitchen floor about a half hour ago as I went to the fridge. Put a cup over it , and did the Ol' slide a piece of paper under the cup trick. Worked well. Does anyone know what knd of spider this is? The pics might not do it justice, cause it's huge for a New York arachnid. That is a large tablespoon it sits on, so I would guess that spider is approximately 3" in circumference. Has some weight to it also.

have at it boys good luck , it's bad enough that i have to work out side in it, don't have to fish in it to haven't missed a rain day this year , but next year it looks like i will have loads of time to fish and hunt after 35 years of busting my hump , it's time to let someone else have all that fun ;)

Not many reports this week, I ran my boat down yesterday morning around 7am, fished til 1030am, I never touched a walleye, hit 9 seperate spots quickly ... 4 of them deep water water spots and 5 of them mid range spots...got a couple sheeps right off the bat jigging and a few smallies at the end, but couldn't jig up an eye with a sonar anywhere, forgot my worms for my bucktails... seen many fish chasing what looked like mayflies, some kind of bug...just curious if it was just me or has others seen the jig bite slow in the last 3 days because of the bug hatch..

Took the words right out of my mouth Hollywood! By fathers day they will be schooled up on the deeper water. We are in that in-between stage now. I'll be hitting 20 ish fow first thing tomorrow, but I don't think we'll spank them. Just looking for a couple limits then on to the monster panfish bite. They were on fire last Sunday.
-
Wednesday morning was a skunkage for me on the walleye. I was catching SMB where the walleye were the past few weeks. Kinda disappointing since I love dragging that jig on the bottom and seeing that tip bouncing. Gonna give it another shot tomorrow....if the bite slows that much it won't be long until I go onto other waters to figure them out. I have not been on the Big O to fish???

Way too funy! :w00t: My knee is feeling better allready. NOT. Got the trolling batterys on charge Coach. Time to hit the little lake for some gill fishing again.

Got, out this morning for a couple hours. I knew I was going to get rained on, but ... the fish are already wet ... and I gotta get some hours on the new boat somehow. I marked fish in all my normal June spots. They are starting to organize a little on mud flats (24 - 29 fow). About 50 casts with the sonar produced only one hit ... didn't stick it. Things changed when I started throwing the bucktail. I ended up getting 7 eyes and a couple more drops. I was in a hurry to get off the water by 11, because last night's report said that's when the t-storms were going to start. Should have stayed out there.

did good with the bucktails with a worm this week but not so well trolling. the 22 incher i got was only in 12 fow with a purple black bucktail. just got my gps sonar hooked up so im glad to have it back now that theyll be out alittle deeper. up scouting around for some ontario fishing this weekend.hope to head up there next week for browns or maybe walleye. was diving infront of my house on the south shore the bass were huge and everywhere. the amount of fish in the lake now is just crazy
-
Gonna take my canoe with my trolling motor out tonight. gonna stay shallow and toss lighted bobbers with minnows anywhere from 4-10 fow. Wish me luck!
-
out early this am and had to work hard for first 2 hours. Had 1 on sonar 1 on bucktail. Soon as the wind switched and picked up the sonar was the ticket. 20-24 fow. Ended up with 11 with 2 short. Weather men were a little off the report I saw was early afternoon rain. Started raining about 7 am. Well good day out there and hope to try again tomorrow.
-
Before you guys head out to deep water don't overlook fishing in 11 to 13 FTW in the weeds. To say I have doing good the last week would be an understatement.

What about that commercial where the guy replaces the bottom of his boat with a screen door and sprays that stuff on it! :rotflol: Dont think that would hold up to long out on oneida! Tite Linez

I got to my boat late this evening (8ish) & called Hookinup before heading out to see how he was doing. He was kind enough to come in & pick me up so I could check out his new rig...WOW... like fishing out of your livingroom! ;D Cubby is trying to get me to upgrade now...
After a fish on the first cast we had our limit in the box & threw a couple back in about an hour- they came from 20-30 fow, jigs were best at first then the sonar heated up at dark. Very enjoyable evening, thanks for the trip, Jim!

stopped by sylvan after work (11ish) just to see what was biting in the canal. jigging with gulp minnows. caught a pike and a nice pickerel. no eyes though. i need to get out on the water! im new to catching eyes and fishing on oneida. i usually fish the smaller waters around madison county. any tips for eyes/oneida? thanks guys! im glad i stumbled across this website

Late report for last wed eve. and thurs morn. We tried deep and shallow both days with only two eyes to show for it. Both were on purple harnesses. Lots of white perch, a few yellows and some smallies. One of the reasons we did poorly was I could not get to where I wanted to go due to engine failure. She would die on me as soon as I throttled up. When I worked on it yesterday, I drained the carb bowls and almost half of the fuel was water!. If you think that putting stable in will help, think again. I am buying a fuel - water seperator that most new engines have but mine doesn't. Check that fuel guys!

Glad it worked out the way it did. You're a fun guy to fish with. Cubby ain't so bad either!
Hey fishin315 ... welcome to the site. There's 66 pages of good info in this thread. Just read back through it and you'll find everything you need bro!

I had that problem 3 yrs ago, had to pump out 10 gallons by using the ball , that sucked, narrowed it down to a local gas station that has problems with water in there gas. I put a little isopropal alcohol in it now and buy my gas at vellas in Cleveland, it cost a bit more, but the gas is good.
Got out last night for 3 hours with my buddy bobster, he had a ball catching smallmouth while I spent some time just jigging bucktails in the weeds for eyes, never really have used bucktails in the weeds so put a shift in trying to learn it. It's really effective, but they always seam to eat the stinger with the worm piece, which makes me think, is it really the worm they want and the bucktail is just a tool to get the worm down there? I'll be trying some strange rigs in the next few trips to see if I can come up with a different way of pulling those fish out of the weeds that suits me ... It was very calm last night, not even old currents to keep the boat moving, flat as flat can be right til dark, we got 8 eyes , kept 6, plus some panfish and quite a few bass.
-
Good job guys!!!Glad to hear the jig bite is still pritty good.This is our busy season at work so i can only make it up every few weekends. The only benefit is some extrs spending cash with i used to buy a new lorance elite 5 with nav chip cant wait to come up this weekend to try it out. Hey hollywood listen to your dog I listen to mine he rarely gives me bad advice. LOL!!

Nice job on the wallygators! Missed your call yest man. Tried to leave u a message but your answering machine was full or something. Anyway I was tied up all day and wife had to work til 11 so I was home with the boys for the night homey! Lemme know when your going again
-
This lake sure has some nice small mouth in it. I waded shore for a few hours yesterday until dark. Got 3 nice small mouth and 1 BIG pickerel and one hammer handle.
I'm originally from a few hours south of here. I now consider myself lucky to live so close(11 min) from a lake with good fishing that a guy with out a boat can get it in on.
My family keeps trying to get me to move back home, but all i keep thinking is i do not want to leave all the great fishing in this area
-
Finally was able to spend some time on the lake. Fished for a couple hours Thursday & Friday nights and Saturday and Sunday mornings. The jig big was hot. For the 4 trips we boated 71 keeper 'eyes. All on the bucktail except for 1 or 2 on the blade. Fish definitely came in spurts. Got them the last 45 minutes Thursday night between 8:30 and 9:45pm. They came pretty consistently Friday between 6:00 and 9:00pm, early Saturday between 7:00am and 8:00am and Sunday morning from about 8:15am to 9:00am. Outside of those times I bet we only caught about 6-8. Caught them all along pretty defined breaks. Sometimes they were on top of the break in 14 - 16' othertimes they were on the bottom of it down as deep as 29'.
-
I hear ya Larry. I bet Jr. misses playing up there. He was fun to watch! Talk to u soon man!

Beautiful morning out there...wow there were fisherman galore out and about today. We started shallower and got a couple on the purple/black jig. Then we went out to deep water with spinners and sonars and did not get anything. So we went back shallow and picked up another with the jig. We missed a bunch of hits and one was biten right off.....not a lot of reaching for nets from what we saw.
-
SNAGGER!!!! Your in-box is full!!!
Got out with my girlfriend this morning for a few hours. Total tally : 11 eyes, 3 sheepies, a perch and a jumbo sunny.
Moved all over the place ... mainly trying to outrun and outsmart the vultures.
Question for ya ................
Let's say you are driving your boat acrossed the lake, and you look up just in time to see a man pulling in a fish from another boat. Would you........
a) Give him the thumbs up and keep on going to look for your own fish?
b) Slow your boat and get as close to him as possible?
c) Head up wind and line yourself up on his drift?
My girlfriend was pulling on our fourth walleye off a hump the size of two pickup trucks, when a guy that was going by chose answer (b). So, then there was two of us. Then a third and a fourth boat came over. They chose answer (c). I made myself leave when the fifth boat was headed our way. Got blown right out of my own spot!!
I know we beat this subject to death every year, but it still sucks.

SNAGGER!!!! Your in-box is full!!!
Got out with my girlfriend this morning for a few hours. Total tally : 11 eyes, 3 sheepies, a perch and a jumbo sunny.
Moved all over the place ... mainly trying to outrun and outsmart the vultures.

I have had that happen several times. Sucks every time it happens. I usually do the same thing and just leave. Sometimes I find a better spot and just laugh it off. Once bass season opens it gets real bad.

went out this morning with the misses started jigging picked up our limit , and Jim i had option [c] handed to me but that was OK tossed out the bags and he over took me and had to move when he couldn't cast ;) so next pass i returned the favor and set right up on my gps cords and kept saying look another one of those nasty eye things he got pssed and left ;D i didn't use the net just put them in the boat , then trolled till it got hot and split , and also saw several floating smallies
-
I fished in the evening yesterday. I took my mom out and trolled sticks and spinners. We ended up with 9 eyes, 5 keepers, a few nice yellows, and a few smallies.
Today I fished the boathouse tournament with my buddy Eric. We had to work our butts off to get our 5 keeper eyes for the tourney. My toughest day out there yet this year. We did catch a nice mix of eyes, smallies, and sunnies. There were some very impressive catches. I just about threw up when the guy weighing in his fish before me pulled out 5 eyes that were like cookie cutter 23" eyes.
Afterwards I got to share a few "pops" with bauls25 and wetsleeves. It was nice to meet you guys.

Had a big fish fry todayfor my son in law and his family. 18 of us i thawed out about 10 freeser bags of crappie sunnies and eyes. It was a great sucess. TRYING to thin out my supply before going to our fish camp we rent. I dont say much but i read the post every day. I Have been doing real good on the gills. TOOK the grandkids out for the big sunnies great fun.

Jim, I would add an answer (D) ....Give them all the bird!!! ;D WOW!! what nerve of some people. Your right though....it SUCKS!!!! I'm glad you and your GF had some fun and caught fish though!! Titelines to all!!--KP 8)

I got out last night for the first time in a while, but not till about 7:30. I caught 10 smallies, 3 walleye, and 4 big seeds and left a little after 10:00. One of the seeds blasted a big topwater plug, pretty funny. Nice to get out there. It was my first time after dark with my new rig, the rear running light is so bright it kind of blinds me when running in the dark, nice for tying knots though. I caught 5 of the smallies well after sunset, always surprises me when I get them after dark like that. I caught everything in less than 10 ft.

Had a good time fishing saturday morning but only a couple of pickerels..yuck.
got a question. little different then walleye facts but figured its worth a shot. I have a 95 yamaha Waverunner Jetski. Wont start and when it does run it just bogs down and will eventually shut down. I know its a shot in the dark and without looking at it will be hard but any suggestions?

Could be alot of things but, If I had to guess, I'd say your fuel system is all crudded up from gas with ethanol. Just a shot, but try putting a product called "sea foam" in your gas and run your engine as much as you can. It's an additive you can buy at Pep Boys or walmart. Sometimes it works.

I get alot b's, and c's. some of the people on the west end know my boat, and come running right on top of me. I do not change my drift. when I land my jig within 5' of there boat they move most of the time, but sometimes I have to tell them it's a big lake. later...

Got out for a few hours tonight for the night bite. Man, I was glad when the sun went down. What a scorcher today was. We moved around a little and found a nice pod of eyes. Got to fish within thirty yards of my buddy Hollywood and noone crashed the party. Black and purple bucktail did the most damage. Fish were chewin' pretty good tonight despite the lack of wind.
Here's a shot of Bear in his favorite spot...

Made it down to Oneida around 6pm tonight, fished til 10pm, man was it hot when we got there, no breeze, dead flat again til sunset. Fished with deadeyes and my buddy bob.. Being there was no breeze we didn't travel too far, I haven't really developed a deep jiggin spot nearbye that works without a drift, so instead of driving 4 miles to fish we jumped into the weeds and bass fished for a while, got quite a few, a good 25 total.....some big sunfish on micro tubes, then jigged some bucktails and got some rock bass and a big perch, didn't really target eyes til sunset, as there was jet ski's and pontoon boats beating down our fishing grounds pretty good. Once the sun set we boated 8 keeper eyes and dumped 4 more at the boat. Being these were weed eyes, I measured them, 1 20, a 19, 2 18's and some smaller ones...After last weeks tourney, I'll measure every larger weed walleye out of curiosity. Smallmouth were hitting well after dark, puking up tons of small shad or perch already......Frogs were making quite a racket after dark, I could of layed down and fell a sleep out there, man was it a warm night. Very relaxing ... good times!!! ;D
-
the walleye bite is going to be a year to remember ;D. your right snag. i've been mainly fishing the weeds with a black jig with purple tinsil, and the size of the walleyes are averaging 19 to 23". I didn't get in that tourney, and now I wish I did. oh well there's always next year. later...

Went out for the early bite with ChenBassHead yesterday. On our second move we landed on the eyes. We ended up with somewhere between 15 and 20 for the day with a drum and giant sunny in the mix. We went looking for the smallmouth, but couldn’t find them. That’s a new game to me, and I have a lot of homework to do on them. We fought the urge to see what was going on out in the channel and headed right to where we hit them last weekend. There was a flotilla out there in the channel! There had to be 30 plus boats out there all morning. We headed in to some structure and found them on the deeper side in 20ish feet of water. Buck tails and crawler WAY out produced sonars. We eventually headed out to the deeper water to see what was going on and it was dead out there. The trollers seemed to be picking up the occasional fish, but by the time we got out there it was almost dead calm with bright hot sun. We did get a visit from the DEC. He checked out licenses and fish, and measured out smallest (15.5). He hit quite a few guys in the pack, I was glad to see him out there!
-
Got out last night for 3 hours with my buddy bobster, he had a ball catching smallmouth while I spent some time just jigging bucktails in the weeds for eyes, never really have used bucktails in the weeds so put a shift in trying to learn it. It's really effective, but they always seam to eat the stinger with the worm piece, which makes me think, is it really the worm they want and the bucktail is just a tool to get the worm down there? I'll be trying some strange rigs in the next few trips to see if I can come up with a different way of pulling those fish out of the weeds that suits me...

Fished the west end yesterday afternoon till dark. Played with the new boat but my motor still isn't right. Just going to take some playing with. Took some cast from the dock before heading out and got a LG mouth and a pickerel. Lost 3 more with the last one breaking my popper off. Fished shallow and weeds playing with the green carp. Lots of SM mouth action. Should be a good opener next week. Headed deeper toward structure and got one eye.

Nice seeing you fellas and enjoying some cold "pops" after a warm outing. Nice boat Bruce.
As far as the fishing sunday, caught many eyes, bass, suns and sheeps. Tried to stay away from the crowds of boats out everywhere. Also have to start weighing the eyes I catch. Gonna start looking for some bigger eyes instead of the eaters.

Probably a good idea. I don't think the wind is going to go down much at dark.

Got out sat afternoon right after the shower. Went right to 30 ft and started trolling. Got one nice keeper in 10 minutes. Over the next hour lost three, got two more keepers and one short. Was all done and heading in by 5. Lake was like glass and alot of fun.
-
Def was the right move shane! It didnt lay down one bit!

Spent the day out by the islands sunbathing couldnt believe the amount of boats out there,it was choppy all day. 6 came around and it was calmer on the west end but still alot of boats out there so I decided to make my first trip east in the new rig. Had the gps and sonar installed so I could find my way around. Anybody who wants theirs installed professionally installed let me know and Ill give you his info. Got half way there and realized it was alot more choppy on the east end. Some pretty big rollers out there in the middle. Almost a northwest wind by the time we got to Shak. Started in the humps trolling it was rough out there but we hung in there early and picked up a nice keeper. After countless white perch and sunnies I went out deep past 25ft to pick up this beauty 22incher. Pulled our board 5 feet under then crossed it into another and pulled that one under too. It battled us all the way into the net was an interesting few minutes to say the least. Pretty exciting fight for an eye. The wind turned west and we picke up another keeper deep. Had aleast 10 shorts today all in the 10 inch range. They were all great looking fish and one smacked a jig multiple times before he ate it, thought it was a bass at first. They all were released looking great. Great ride home on the west wind and called it a night, we always seem to catch just enough for the two of us to have fresh fish for the week.It was a gorgeous night out there and I think we saw 3 boats on the east in 4 hours. I want to spend a few nights perch fishing soon, the big ones I got this week tasted amazing.The new scout is a dream in the rough weather, I did around 30 with it being comfortable and sat next to my buddy chatting the whole time and it was a pretty rough night even for oneida standards
Biggest one was a beautiful fish

If you're on the lake the Oneida Nation also has the Ethanol free gas at Marion Manor and at their store on the barge canal in Sylvan Beach. Both locations have dock side pumps.

thanks! just so you guys know nice and easy in brewerton and fastrac in cicero both have ethanol free and both are right next to 81.I like the nice and easy because the pump is on its own island and its super easy to get in and out. I choose to go with non ethanol 91 over ethanol 87. I never run premium unless required but the boat has a 35 gal tank and I didnt want ethanol in it. was 4.09 yesterday but well worth it

Got, out this morning for a couple hours. I knew I was going to get rained on, but ... the fish are already wet ... and I gotta get some hours on the new boat somehow. I marked fish in all my normal June spots. They are starting to organize a little on mud flats (24 - 29 fow). About 50 casts with the sonar produced only one hit ... didn't stick it. Things changed when I started throwing the bucktail. I ended up getting 7 eyes and a couple more drops. I was in a hurry to get off the water by 11, because last night's report said that's when the t-storms were going to start. Should have stayed out there.
Way to stick with it and make the change needed to persevere and win the battle pal! That's what makes all the difference of zero or success. Good work man. ;)
-
What about that commercial where the guy replaces the bottom of his boat with a screen door and sprays that stuff on it! :rotflol: Dont think that would hold up to long out on oneida! Tite Linez
HAHA, yea Dead, every time I see that, I laugh. It's nothing more than a quality rubberized undercoating. I buy it in aerosol cans from 3M and a company called Castle by the case. Definately a good product, but not for 20 bucks plus "a free can" if ya order in the next 30 seconds....LOL

the walleye bite is going to be a year to remember ;D. your right snag. i've been mainly fishing the weeds with a black jig with purple tinsil, and the size of the walleyes are averaging 19 to 23". I didn't get in that tourney, and now I wish I did. oh well there's always next year. later...
Your right Sul, forgot to mention, those fish we caught off your boat on the last trip were fat 19.5 up to 21.5. And three of them were fat females at and over 21. Fun times. Keep up the reports guys.
Shore fishing in my area has giving nothing up in my last two outings. Time to change up tactics or get in the boat.
-
haven't been out at all this week :'(. busiest week so far this summer. can't complain with the economy the way it is. I will be out monday, and tuesday. later...
-
D**n I hate fishing weekends only! My job allows me to be on a computer all day, and these reports are killing me! :D
-
Stuck at work again! Family obligations are going to keep me home this weekend! The reports are killing me! I have been fishing Oneida 40 years and this seems to be one of the best yet. Do you guys think this year will effect the fishing in the next couple of years?
Keep the reports coming
-
There are two factors this year that may account for this, the lack of fishable ice and early warm temps. I believe that the gobies (expected in the next year or two?) will have a much bigger effect on the lake than the number of walleye taken this year. Also the year class for the walleye's has a lot to do with their numbers. Some years are much better than others. All in all this has definitely been a great year!
-
Like Otis said - year classes, spawning, and forage are the big factors for fish numbers. Angling pressure is a blip on the radar...
There was a stretch back in the late 80's and early 90's like this current one. Just silly numbers of easy fish... 8)
-
Launched a Southshore this past Monday.. first time on Oneida this year. Main mission was to calibrate the new Raymarine x-5 autopilot I just installed.. works great, even into a heavy wind! As long as we were there.. we decided to drag some stickbaits and harnesses around. I don't normally do very well there and admit that I've never really learned the lake. But.. those silly walleyes were all over the place. Nothing big.. but lots of nice 17 to 19 inchers. Next trip will probably be to Erie. You guys have a heck of a fishery there! Good Fishing, Sluggo (Chris)

Took a drive out tonight with a buddy & his younger son, too rock & rolly so we had a good meal at Flo's. Worse things have happened ;D

It looks like there's going to be lighter winds for a few days. ;D

Fished last night from 6-930pm, got a good 20 inch eye and dumped one in the first 10 minutes, then just got some bass and quite a few big sunfish, had picks shear off my line twice... Missed alot of fish with the jig and worm, drift was pretty fast, I picked up another walleye at dark, way under dressed and froze to death at sunset in that stiff breeze., no after dark fishin.

Hope the action holds up Snagger...ill be happy with a few hook up's with big Jim over the weekend but what were really after is some killer night time shots around the lake...this picture was taken around this time last year, most of you know the location ;)

Have a good time you guys. I am working on my jimmy again. What a pc of sh!@@#$%%$##@#$t Replace all 4 shocks. Needed a logging chain and comealong to get the rears out :cursing: Helper springs are a b***h :flex:
-
just tell the snag it is not an agressive bite , ;D
-
went out tonight and got 1! thats big for me ha. I would love to fish with some of the pros we see on here
-
Went out tonight for a few hours after work. I tought I would see if there was any action out a little deeper. Found some fish grouped up on the deep side of a 34 to 39 foot slope. Put 5 walleyes and a perch in the boat on the first pass. Thought I was really doing something ... until about 5 more drifts over the same fish produced only 2 misses. Bummer ... but that's fishing. I was throwing a 5/8 ounce sonar. Probably shoulda gave the bucktail a shot.
-
Hit Shack from 6pm to little after 9pm. Tougher than it has been, but we managed to get 6 (2 of us). All on the bucktail. Found no concentrations of fish in our spots that have been good. Just one here and there in a variety of depths from 14-28'. Water temp 71 degrees.
-
Fished on the snag & release again tonight from 5:30-10:00 :w00t: Yesterday I ended up with some smallmouth, rock bass, and one keeper eye. This evening we had some decent smallmouth action. Think I ended up with around 8 smallmouth, 2 sunnys, 1 rocky, and a nice keeper eye around 22 inches. Snagger's buddy Bobster boated a monster bowfin! The thing must have been 30 some inches! Beautiful night on the lake again with good friends :thumbup_smilie:

nice job on the eyes Jim, thats the way to train a boat
-
Great job everyone. Kingfisher 22 you sure have been on fish this season.

I thought that the deeper water might produce some bigger eyes, but they were the same 'ol cookie cutter 16-18's.
-
just tell the snag it is not an agressive bite , ;D
OK ;)

Had fun last night deadeyes, got alot of big bass, couple in the 4lb. range, some big sunnies ( I'm really starting to like these guys) and a monster perch in the weeds, I never did end up getting any walters... That bowfin was something, the surface of the lake was absolutely covered with big insect casings , fish were slurping them off the surface like mad, so many mayflies were hatching at dark, the sea gulls were picking them off....... keep tearing them up Jim, I injured my elboe again.... no deep jiggin for me for a bit.
The Sunfish have really cool colors.

Cookie cutter bulls! ;D The ones we are getting on the south shore look just like those. We're getting a couple seeds mixed in as well. Those occasional jumbo perch alone are worth the trip!

Right now its warm and nice and so relaxing out there.. When I pull out of the marina I don't really care what I catch as long as its action, got my fill of eyes in May, but when winter rolls around its all business out deep with eyes and big perch, I'm addicted to that bad. I'm looking forward to the more diffacult deep eye bite in July.

Gave it a try tonight for a couple hours. 1 keeper eye and 1 short jigging. It was a nice night though.
-
Got out this afternoon after those big sunnies with my daughter. They were stacked up pretty heavy. I took 30 home tonight and left them biting almost every cast. I caught most of them in about an hour. A couple of them had eggs oozing out, seems late for that? Caught a bunch of smallies mixed in too. I found these fish stacked up like this last year when I was drop shotting for bass, decided to take the kid down to see if we could get on them and they were right where they were last year.

Fished with snagger again tonight from 6-9:30. Started off sllooooww out in the deeper water. The action heated up around sunset. We got into some waldos, smallies, and rockys. Another fun night for sure. Snag took my camera card home with him, so there will be some pics to follow ;D

Ran out deep with deadeyes last night, fished 32-46 feet, first 2 hours produced no fish at 3 spots.... then hit a large bass on a jig in 36 feet, so concentrated on that area, we put 7 large eyes in the boat in 30 mintues jigging sonars, but then a cross wind formed and it was hard to stay on the fish, well that and my lowrance skimmer ducer don't mark fish again, been fishing on the blind so far this year..( only got a year out of this one, unbelievable)so moved shallow for some bass... nice evening...
couple random ones from last night.

I fished this morning and hit a nice mix of fish. A couple smallies, a few sheepies, a white, a yellow, a few sunnies, and 4 waldos. Some on sonars, some on a spinner, and some on bucktails.
The sheepshead were hammering the sonar.

Had a great time fishing with the twins today!!! Release was very well behaved, except when he lost Filets lucky sonar ;D I think he did it on purpose, just to make me feel better, I wasn't doing so good on the eyes, but made up for it on the big sunfish and perch. 8) fun day of fishing with a nice mix of fish.
-
Nice job slamboney! :thumbup_smilie: They are a blast to catch especially when the kids are catching them too!
Thanks it was a good time, kicking back for sunnies was a nice change.

Dear Mr Bass Boat Man
I am so impressed at the speed of your boat and thanks for showing me your incredible driving skills. Next time you pass by me so close (less than 50 yards) please stop and say hi :cursing: :cursing: :cursing:
Really,,, Do you fish or just want to show off your Boat and your mad skills??
-
hey grif, next time you go out, bring a bucket of rocks with you. you have to lead them a little. just like duck huntin ::). later...
-
Or I could always show them what I am using, As I make that cast at the right time.
That could be fun
-
had a great time with the coach today nice mix of fish, smallies, perch , sunnies , sheeps ,and waldos , wish i could have stayed longer but the lawn is out of control ,and coach i'll be at the sonar store and pick up a few more in that off color , and that bucktail that release lost , he doesn't know it but i have a doz. back ups of that one ;D , boy release sure has one hll of a hook set ;)

Saw a few of those guys today. 60+ mph, and nothing in the water but the prop. I think it is just overcompensating for having a small P-P. :flex:

one went buy me at around 60 at less then a hundred ft away, hitting waves like a total idiot. i had lots of thoughts on how to let him know what an idiot he is >:( i have had some people dislike the bass tournaments on the lake, its guys like him that make it very obvious why!! im thinking someday ill make a pass buy them , between the shore and the boat why they are casting in the shallows .
-
Had a guy fly by me in 18 foot smokercraft heading back to the south shore launch. He was about 20 feet from my boat. Almost tipped my 14 foot starcraft. Needless to say I had some choice words for him back at the dock and if people werent there to hold me back, I'd have done something that would have gave me a ride in a police car. I mean these people think that they can do that crap and not expect people to get angry. It's common courtesy to at least slow down! Or if your going that fast then STAY AWAY!
-
Also Happy Father's day to all the proud fathers on here!! Im not a father yet but I will be taking mine out to canadaguia Lake for some lake trout :)

Drove down and fished the evening yesterday, fished from 5-930pm, went out deep first and jigged sonars , got one on the first cast and had a limit in 20 minutes, big ones too... 19-20 inchers, then went shallow looking for bass and panfish, found 3 more eyes, but the bass were tramatised from opening day and jet skis, did get some jigging 4 inch tubes , wow after jigging eyes for 7 weeks, a tube jig bite seems like a bluefish hitting your line. Got one perch jigging 4 inch tubes, the lake was flat the whole time, so dragging a worm wasn't an option for panfish , it did produced one short eye when I tried it briefly, no panfish though. nice night weatherwise, just ALOT of pleasure boat traffic which hurt the shallow bite where I was.

Just got back with lil deadeyez. We couldnt get out on the lake because it was to rough for the canoe! So we headed up to the dam at scriba creek. We fished the top of the dam in the deeper water with rapalas. Ended up with 4 pickeral, 3 largemouths, and 1 fallfish. Little man put a whoopin on me AGAIN! ;D He ended up catching the biggest bucketmouth and the biggest stink log! LIFE IS GOOD :thumbup_smilie: We will be trying to get on the lake this evening if it lays down.

Cool Bobby , happy fathers day :thumbup_smilie:

It looks like the deep bite is heating up. I picked up a couple in 42' yesterday.

Had lots of fun yesterday. Hollywood and I both dock within 9 slips of each other at Fremac's, and he has been after me for some time to do a shore lunch there. We decided that yesterday was the day.
We each headed out in the morning in search of a few "freshies" for lunch. The bite was pretty good so there was no problem sorting out a few "skillet poppers" for the grease.
Back at the dock, Tom warmed up the fry-daddy, and took a few eyes out of their pajamas. Man, it's hard to beat a fish sandwich made from a walleye that was literally swimming within the hour.
Here's a few pics from the day. Thanks for a great time Tom. Great idea ... we'll do it again soon bro!

Had another great morning fishing with the Legend, got another limit of eyes to clean, with some perch and sunny's. Filet got a nice 21 inch walleye and Release got a nice 2.6lb smallie both returned for another day ;D What a great way to spend Fathers day!! Good thing you got yourself some more of those lucky sonars for fathers day Fredy :laugh:
-
took my boss out last night it was a great deal he let me go home if i took him fishing! i went down to big bay and it was covered in weeds in close. wanted to flip for largemouths but it was too thick. casted some top water and picked up a few small ones. went out along some drop offs and picked up a few odd smallies. nothing crazy but there was so much boat traffic and pressure all day that probably had something to do with it.guess i need to find some new bass spots ive been concentrating on eyes the last year or so!
-
yes it was a good time for sure fished till noon , the smallie was almost 3 lbs ,

That's livin right there guys, nice shore lunch. You boys know how to do it. ;D
Yeah, I think we have crossed paths a couple times in the last week in a couple different spots. I have been bouncing around between a few shallow and deep spots depending on the wind.
Great pictures LV!!!

A buddy and I got out this morning. got 7 walleyes, 3 shorts. 3 bass, and 4 pickeral. all on black, and purple jig in 12 to 13 fow. water temp is 74. the southeast wind was blowing about 25mph. couldn't get the boat slowed down enough, but still ended up with a good catch ;D ;D. later...
-
Got my bro out saturday and had a great time...first cast with black/purple jig was a 20 incher. Then we drifted in shallow and got nada. Went out deeper and started picking them up again. Ended up with 5 beautiful ones adn dumped another at the boat...all 18-20 inches. Then we went shallow to play with the bass and sunnies. He is used to fishing strippers so these rods are like ice fishing equipment to him but he had a blast....now I got to get down to his place in cape cod and go for some shell shuckers
The last two days must be a wild and wavy one out there?
-
Stupid side story....we were out in the middle of the lake drifting deeper waters with no one near us. Two guys trolling must of had binoculars looking at other fishermen. We picked up a quick three nice walleyes and we looked behind us. Here they come at 1.4 MPH and troll within 15 feet of us? They never even looked at us?
-
Cool sturgeon story.

Been fishin on the blind since I put my boat in, so drove down today and installed a new transducer...I can see fish again, drove out around 530pm to deeper water to see how things were shakin, marked a nice group of fish in 34 feet, so turned the boat off and instantly was on fish, it was actually too easy, had 4 eyes in the boat in the first 16 casts, so turned my lowrance to flasher mode and grabbed my 2 ice rods, set one up as a deadstick and jigged another one.. This was much more challenging, marked over a 100 fish, but only got 11 to comitt, put another 6 keeper eyes, including a 23 incher in the boat and dumped some also a 5 lb channel cat on the dead stick, what a riot that big eye and cat were on a 28 inch rod.....just before I headed in I threw 12 casts, 2 more eyes, man if my elbo wasn't injured, could have piled them up tonight, unbelievable bite,... was at the dock by 830pm. This lake can spoil you.......

Nice job on the fish snagger...nice 23 incher !! I was out on oneida a few years back on memorial day with icedd ,and caught a few on our ice jigging rods too! It was a lot of fun. I have since built a, i think it's 38 or 40 inch jigging rod ,for summertime use out of the boat. I can set the transducer over the side, sit in my seat and jig vertically like ice fishing .

Nice job brother! Glad that transducer worked out. Looks like that waldo on the bottom of the pic has been in the hatchery in the last year or two, they clip off that bottom fin during the spawn if they catch it in the nets.

Drove out to the same spot last night around 630pm only there was a pretty good chop going from a strong lake breeze...so did one drift with the sock, that produced one eye. Tied 2 anchors together and set my ice stuff up again.. lightning didn't strike twice, barometer was big or something, couldn't get any fish to comit in about hour or so jigging. So did some more long drifts, found a hot school of 12-13 inchers, got 5 of those and a keeper in one drift, plus dumped 2 keepers right at the boat... When the sun set went back shallow, the second I turned the boat off I was swarmed by these white bugs, it was incredible, but fished anyways, had 3 go in my left eye, my tedonosis was killing me, but I was getting my 3 or die trying. Eyes were gorging on the mayflies coming off, if you casted to a splash you got a hit, dumped a godzilla eye at the boat , then got my 2 keepers and 3 more 12-13inchers and called it a night around 10pm.

I sprayed myself with bug spray, I think it attracted more, wish i had a camera, couldn't see the floor there was so many, looked like snow... got to get a thermacell.
Look at the deep high pressure over New york state, and the eyes keep biting... insane..

Well finally after drooling and reading all your posts and looking at the pics I am going to make it down tomorrow! Hope you guys left a few. Launching out of Godfrey will be in a tan 16ft Sylvan with a force motor. Stop by and say "Hi". Don't know if we can match our May trip, but will give it a try.Hopefully I will give a good report on Monday and will try again to post some pics.

Me and my next door neighbor bob and deadeyes fished last night from 630pm til 930pm, lake was pretty flat, we got our 9 keeper eyes ..... some deep (32-40) and some in close in 12-16 ft... We had a 1hr jiggathon in front of the flasher with ice rods, it was fun but not many biters, screen was full but they just chased the lures, I think if we had buckeye heads we could seal the deal... Sonars produced most the fish. Those bugs were insane last night, wish I had a camera, bob's thermocell did nothing to them. I litterally had to stop fishin to shake em out of my hair. They don't bite and I stayed deep a touch later last night, so only had to deal with them for a half hour. Waldo's were gorging on wigglers again, fun to watch, I think I ended up with 6 keepers eyes and 13 eyes total last night and a few bass, 1 perch.
-
Hey, i just bought a nice perch sonar, ive never used a sonar before but i heard that you let it hit the bottom and pull up and then let it hit bottom and then pull up again, is this true?

Any skim on the lake yet? Maybe in some of the bays? 8)

YES. Just have to get used to how fast it drops and when it hits bottom JIG it. Most strikes come on the fall so make every jig like you have a fish. Cant really fish it wrong. Have caught them just slow reeling and jigging before it hits. Good luck.

Went out tonight for a few hours after work. Got a call from a buddy who was on a good bite, so I went and joined in. Had fun til dark, then called it quits. One of the eyes coughed up a 5 inch perch in the boat. When I took the eyes out of the livewell, I found 5 more 5 inch perch.

We use to do quite a bit of summer nightime boat fishing up there. Anchor up on a flat or deeper drop. Put lanterns over the side. Hang a whole or half crawler on one rod and jig a sonar or rap on another. And hope for a breeze cuz the bugs loved the lantern!

Went out at 4 30 in by 7... biggest one is 21'' smallest one is 17'' caught them all on spinner baits.. ranging from silver to copper.. drift was amazing.. we launched out of bridgeport and went to the right of the little island and driffted towards the shore rocking to tom petty's "full moon fever" which i think came out before i was even born...

Spent yesterday with the family at Sandy Pond and the beach. When walking the Ontario shoreline, found a fish floating in with the waves, found it to be a walleye....all of 30-32" long....what a pig!!! :o Thought I'd share!! NO, didn't need the tape measure!! Good reports and fish by all you guys!! ;)--KP 8)

flat out there this morning, no breeze and hot, still fish in the 28 to 35 ft range, black and silver and fire tiger seem to be whats doing it for me, called it early do to the sweat rolling off my head :-\ surprised there wasn't any bugs out for it being as calm as it was.
-
This was the toughest outing for me....I caught nothing and a old friend caught on walleye, smallmouth and perch. Oh well there is always next time..we were deep, shallow, jigs, worms, worm harnesses, sonars, trolled, and deep diving cranks. Thats a full day when it is Africa hot out there
Great job to the rest of ya and tight lines

Nice Fred ! :thumbup_smilie:

the bugs came out about 10 am we got 1 short 1 keeper bunch of white bass we left early everthing shut off for us

Nice job HUNT and same to you filet. I heard the trolling bite was awesome this weekend. Seems like everything is working well right now.
I made it out this afternoon with my mom. Fished from 3:15 to 4:45 and made it in just before the rain. It was dead calm when we started and she hit a keeper on the first cast. We had our limit in 45 minutes then the wind came up and made it a challange. We ended up with 11 eyes, 8 keepers and dumped a bunch. All jigging bucktails from 32' - 43'.

Way to make quick work of it Reel...! My garden sure needed the rain though... ;D

Spent most of the day today doing a few upgrades on my boat. I put a vent in my cover, which required me to cut a big 'ol hole in it. I was a little hesitant ... but it turned out good. Put the new software updates in my HDS-5's. Then I ran a NMEA 2000 cable from the EMM module of my etec to my HDS-5. Pretty cool stuff. I can now see all my engine data on my depthfinder info page and overlay it on any screen I want. I can see engine hours, fuel flow, RPM's, engine temp, alternator volts, trim, etc.... Anyone with a later model Yamaha, Suzuki or Evinrude etec can do it. All the info is there ... you just need the cables.
Anyway ... I had to take a trip out to reset my depthfinder settings, so I thought I would do a little fishing. It was pretty flat at first, but the rain started coming and it brought the wind with it. Watched a big storm roll by on the North side. I ended up stumbling onto a nice size pod of eyes. Got 7 on the first drift. Set up for another drift, but the rain was coming fast. Got two more, including a 22 incher that absolutely inhaled the sonar on the first drop. Poked his throat pretty good and he was bleeding, but I let him go anyway because I wasn't keeping any this time out. Swam away fine, but I probably shoulda kept him.
Ran like heck for the marina ... then the rain let up. When I slowed down, I was marking another bunch of fish, just by pure luck. Got 4 more there in one drift. I was just getting too wet for it to be fun. I didn't have any rain gear with me. LoL ... I can tell you my fuel flow ... but I'm not smart enough to carry rain gear on a day like today. Go figure.
All the fish were caught on a 5/8 oz. chartreuse sonar on sloping depth changes from 33 to 40 fow.
-
Nice job HOOKINUP! Those eyes were hitting hard this afternoon. I don't normally feel them hit when I jig bucktails but they were hammering it today.
Can you get the same data on a mercury with the HDS-5?
-
Can you get the same data on a mercury with the HDS-5?
Just did a quick check and ...I think so.... but I'm not totally sure. Mercury uses another protocol called "smartcraft". You can get a device called a "mercmonitor" which uses the smartcraft protocol, but will also talk on an NMEA 2000 network. It is a smart digital guage which will give you all the engine data ... anything you can think of. Lowrance has a similar guage (LMF-400). Check the web-site. They say the Verado, Optimax and 4 strokes can use smartcraft.
http://www.mercurymarine.com/gauges-and-controls/gauges-and-displays/digital/mercmonitor/ (http://www.mercurymarine.com/gauges-and-controls/gauges-and-displays/digital/mercmonitor/)
I'm brand new at this, and I don't want to steer anyone in the wrong direction. If someone knows this stuff ... please help.

I can see that the fishing on the lake has been good guys! The old man (my dad) did really well yesterday. 6 walleyes and a few jumbo sunnys before noon. Jigs and road runners where the ticket. Getting the itch to hit some water myself!

I fished yesterday for a couple of hours before that rain, ended up with a pile of seeds a couple of nice perch, 2 walleye and 12 bass. Almost non stop action. I made the mistake of launching out of south shore around noon, what a cluster #@$%!! The worst offender was the state park police, those clowns tied up a slip for at least a 1/2 hour maybe longer. A word of advice to new boat owners don't submerge your trailer so deep that the boat floats off and you have reload it 3 or 4 times. Maybe I'll get a slip next year.
-
Great job on the walleye guys! Cool stuff you’re working on there HookinUp, that’s some handy information to know.
It was kids’ weekend on the toner, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. We would start out fishing and end up swimming. All seemed to have a good time. The fish were very cooperative too. We drifted the weed flats (10 fow) in the south east corner of the lake. We picked up quite a few different species: walleye, sunfish, bluegill, perch, rock bass, small mouth, and pickerel. Almost all fish were caught drifting spinner and worm rigs.

Welcome to summer time on Oneida Lake! Best to be off the lake by 10:00 AM, or immediately follwing the sighting of your first jet ski of the day! :P
-
Last year on june 29th i turned 23, i went out that night and actually caught a 23 inch walleye.. well this friday i turn 24 and im going out again... WHO KNOWS?!
-
I guess the bite was absolutely crazy on Saturday, buddies caught the heck out the eyes. Of course I had chores to do around the house :-\
So, I woke up at 3:30am Sunday morning, decided I would give it a shot for Marco's lost friend(RIP). Got there a little late 5:30am, SS launch already busy.
Lake was flat as a plate-o-pee, started back trolling my boat with harnesses in 22-30fow, bass were crashing bait at the surface so I rigged up a pole with a stick bait.
Every time I saw a bass splashing around I simply steered the boat that way, got close tossed the stickbait just past the swirls, BAM, smallie on.
Caught at least six if not more, ended up with seven eyes landed as well. I couldn't believe the number of boats sitting on shackleton, presumably bassin, but from what I could tell
it doesn't get much easier than the way I was catching them! They were simply part of the bonus plan!
When I got back to the launch I couldn't believe the number of boats jammed up ready to come out, and how many were going in.
Anywhere from people with jet ski's on snowmobile trailers to people that must have NEVER launched a boat before, quite comical to say the least.
water for the most part was 70 degrees, most eyes caught on green bladed harnesses.

Next weekend maybe I won't fish, instead I might just take some cold ones down to the south shore launch and watch. It is funny if you don't have to actually launch your boat.
-
A couple Sundays ago I heard some guys screaming at each other. who was going to ram who who was going to drown who thought it was kind of comical. Thought I was on the hard water for a minute. Come to find out they were all friends of each other [and mine] that can't seem th get along on the ice either. Now I dip my net a few times and watch the armada come in and then I leave!

Got out on the water this morning at about 7:30 with my girlfriend. It was pretty choppy, but manageable. Motored down to the spot that I left them last night. We ended up sticking 13 of 'em. Some were pretty thick, and there were a few shorts mixed in. The waves just got too bad ... which we knew was going to happen. All caught on sonars. By 11:00 we had to head back to the slip. Big 'ol 3 foot rollers. Mean lookin' lake today.
I wish I would've got out there at daybreak. I guess we are in for a windy couple of days??
-
Otis there is a submerged pin buoy due east of the point. Strait out from the big house in the cove. It"s under about a foot in 20 fow couldn"t get a marker on it. Maybe one of those nosey bass guys will find it.

It's not just the kids that are stupid, the grey headed bald guy was towing a knee boarder and the Lund cut between myself and the large boat which was about 100 yard away
You gotta be like Filet's sidekick, Release.....just cast sonars at them!!!! ;D

That's great, I'll spend Saturday watching south shore then try Godfrey's on Sunday. Lots of nice shade over there at Godfrey. I could spend all day watching that stuff. I watched a women yelling no at her husband when he thought she meant go and do a really nice job jack kniving a trailer over there a bunch of years ago. That was one of my all time favorites.
-
slammy bring a camera some pics on here would be cool , maybe i will do the same 2 weeks ago a guy tried to launch a big speed boat and it drawed to much water made the girl jump in the muddy water and push him out now that was funny , it is only 1.6 -1.8 ft deep at godfrey
-
Saturday at Godfrey a couple had tied their jet boat up to the dock and then tried to drive it up on the trailer without uniting it held us up but was worth the laugh
-
A couple Sundays ago I heard some guys screaming at each other. who was going to ram who who was going to drown who thought it was kind of comical. Thought I was on the hard water for a minute. Come to find out they were all friends of each other [and mine] that can't seem th get along on the ice either. Now I dip my net a few times and watch the armada come in and then I leave!
Bath Salts ????

yep that was worth the wait for sure , i like the ones that back the boat in and not point it toward the lake and then try and figure out how to back out or try and spin it around under power , and these are people that have help , last week a guy said to me your wife dose a nice job , i thanked him for the complament , and ask if she could give a few lessons to a few at the launch , she told him it isn't that hard back boat in water slide of trailer pull rope and it just comes right around he laughed his butt off , now i need her to show me how she catches the bigger fish , almost every outting , still use the same answer i'm a good teacher , think she is catching on to that ;D

I think I could probably produce a reality TV show form this stuff. It's great material. It would come on right after Hillbilly Handfishing.

Tank and my favorite place to have a sandwich was the Godfrey launch when we were fishing alot up there. Saw many a funy things but the best has to be...
Some yahoo was takin out his boat, he had a smaller truck and a bigger boat. Well he would pull forward a foot and stall then slip back a few feet. He did this 3-4 times till finall the cab of the truck was taking on water. Finally he realized he was in 3rd gear! :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: :cookoo:
He got it in first gear and tore up outta there with water pouring out of everywhere. When he opened the door, he had a mini waterfalls comming out... :clapping: :clapping:

Saw three in an hour at wallenpaupack go in without plugs one guy actually ran out quite a ways before he knew it drained it for about 45 minutes then went home.

I am glad you guys weren't hanging out at Godfrey the day I parked My buddies truck in the drink with the boat and trailer attatched when the brake lines blew out!!! I'd never hear the end of that!! ;D That place is quite comical on a hectic day!! ;)

slammy you produce it and someone will buy it look at all the goofy stuff out there , lets all of us give a name , how about the the launch of doom

How 'bout "Jack-knife Alley"?

The best "no plug" inncident I ever saw was this past march on the local river. Tank and I fished all morning and headed for the launch as we got close I could see "issues". ::)
There was a vehicle and trailer backed down to the edge of the water with front half of the boat up on the trailer and the back half sunk in the water. And a guy in the water thigh deep with a net scooping gear(fishfinder was reading 38 degrees)...
Apparently they took on enough water that they couldnt get the trailer under the boat. 3 guys hung on the bow of the boat while another cranked the boat on...
They pulled out finally and we got our boat loaded. Up in the parking lot here comes one of the guys over to me--- Him - "excuse me, do you know anything about boats"?...
Me - "a little" as I walk over towards his rig...
Him - "is something suppose to be in these holes"?
Yep, no boat plugs in... They actually fished for a bit while bailing...

here's one last year a man from PA sat on the launch loaded up his gear , taking his time ,instead of using the staging area , one of the fellas said how about letting us launch ,the reply was in about 20 min i will be done then you can do what you want with a few colorful metaphors, then he put his boat in the water but forgot the plug , one of the guys backed his boat down and was waiting , and all of a sudden the guy said get out of my way my boat is sinking , and the reply was in 19 min . it's all yours ;D, yep the boat sank right there ,and they all wished him a great day , it pays to be a dk doesn't it ;D

I cant imagine some of the launches around here on weekends, Its pretty crazy just sitting on the shore where we are watching all the traffic out there. Last night it was really rough but we headed east past 123 and got into them instantly. Trolling at 1.3 with the dead east wind, didnt see another boat fishing anywhere so we had it all to ourselves. Landed 15 or so lost a few nice ones at the boat, the waves would push them right into us sometimes, we had a good time rocking and rolling out there but the boat handled it great for being a 17 footer. Couldnt really jig we were rocking and rolling so bad but the 3 of us always had something to do trolling along at that speed, picked up quite a few small ones none of the fish had much in their stomachs guess that confirms what the biologist said about low perch count causing them to be hungry?It was a gorgeous sunset and quite a ride in but once we got on top of the waves we could really get moving, why didnt we have a deep hull center console all along is all I could think. Couldnt get the picture too clear as it was moving alot but it was gorgeous out there

Had a blast up on Ontario went straight out of henderson harbor through the cut and into the big waves, was thinking about getting a charter after my first visit just because info about up there is scarce on the net but found the fish right away and landed some awesome browns! They were beautiful going from 2-11lbs. I had to buy a bigger net for the second day after landing the 11lber with my little oneida net. My girlfriend did a great job helping me land them and it was a pretty rough day. They dont taste like walleye but wow its a fun fight all the way to the boat and even when youre trying to hold them! Caught 20 or so all on dipseys only. Cant wait for the salmon to come and the giant eyes. Its addicting for sure.

I think you mean a west wind, nice detailed report with pics gator, was a pleasure to read. Hard to tell from the camera angle, but looks like a short king salmon. So when do we get to see your face? :w00t: once again great report!!!! Got alot of work done around here and rested my arm, I think I'm ready for an Oneida adventure myself.

If you have a 3inch gulp minnow, Try that instead of a worm, you will find that you won't have to bring worms again. Thats what i use with my bucktail. Limit out every time i've gone.

After taking a week off, made it down there this evening around 7pm , lake was flat and mobbed with boats fishin shallow, so ran out deep to find some solitude, got 2 eyes in 4 casts, thought it was going to be on fire, but only got 2 more in the next hour or so jigging sonars, that hurt my arm so made a move shallower right at dark, picked up another 4 eyes at dark casting sticks...gots some really large smallmouth on accident, measured 2 at 19 inches, and an eye at 21 1/4 inches taken in 39 fow. Headed in around 10pm... white bugs are fading but mosquitos were biting pretty good after sunset. Great red sunset from the smoke off those colorado forest fires.

beautiful out this morning, a little slower then the last couple weeks for me . but i have a quick question, I was trolling out by 119 ,another boat called troll king (3 guys)or something like that pulled out in front of me about 150 yds and shut it off and started jigging. I didnt think to much about it, so i started to turn right to troll with the wind in a track i have on my gps. so i get about the same distance to the right of him 150 yds or so , i see him throwing his hands around in the air , he thinks im trolling his drift ??? ??? i sat for a minute in disbelief :-\. then i told him what i thought of him. im not sure what I was suppose to do, you pulled in front of me and shut it down!!! if i went left into the wind i would have barely made it by you! so I went right! was i suppose to pull my rigs in and turn around?? I hope he didnt feel i was trying to get his fish, i fish for the fun of it, if you asked me i would probably have given you my fish!! its not that big a deal . but I just wonder whats the protocol in that scenario???

I wouldn't have done anything differently than what you did. Some guys just feel that they own the lake. Great that you told him off as well, I'd have done that also! :laugh:

Snuff..... You were there first, and allready had your game plan set up and working it. Chances are, that boat set up next to you because they were watching and figured you were on the game. Good thing Freddie or I wasnt there. I guess we have a habit of bouncing sonars off idiots boats. Well atleast I do...Fred likes to catch fish in front of them, then throw them at the boat..lol. ;D
-
lol, I thought about pulling up and tossing a couple eyes over to him, and say theres my payment for using your lake :'(. im all for giving room ,and not encroaching on another guy, in fact, im usually the guy that will turn off when I get trolling towards someone else . I guess i shouldn't let it bother me, and should get use to it cause theres no shortage of morons theses days.

I set up near a troller yesterday, sure enough after I shut my motor down the drift was going towards him not away from him, hard to tell when its flat, after a few wind shifts that kept pushing me towards him no matter where I started my drift i moved to another spot, he was there first and didn't want to annoy him, but it is Oneida, by now the fish are used to boat traffic and fish are everywhere, theres no secret hot spots.....at my night spot I had a boat pull up so close to me that I couldn't cast in his direction or I would of hit him, but it was cool, fish were still biting with his motor idling the whole time, just found it odd is all, its never happened too me before at night.
-
I agree with the rest of the gang Snuff.....you did the right thing.....I would have moved just to not get MY lines messed up in his went about my business and if he wanted to wish me luck (haha) I would have wished him well too! ::) ;D

-
Went out this morning with my buddy joe, Managed to get my limit, my buddy got 3 but only one keeper. Mine all came before 8:30am had to search for them. Anyone notice how thin they have gotten?? They don't look like they are but they are. My 3 fish are the bottom 3 15 1/2 - 17,- 17.inches. Jig with a 3in gulp minnow.

snuffy you did the right thing , that has happened to me many time , and if he was that close in front of me things would have been really close with the boards , release would have told him pay more attention your on my troll line your nothing but a tail piper ;) I'm sure his name was Richard Cranium ;D

If you have a 3inch gulp minnow, Try that instead of a worm, you will find that you won't have to bring worms again. Thats what i use with my bucktail. Limit out every time i've gone.
Since those things came out and I tested them vs worms on a bucktail... I havnt touched a crawler... ;D ;D ;D

used them on Erie worked great , many times this year i just put some sauce on the hair without any bait ,on Oneida
-
snuffy you did the right thing , that has happened to me many time , and if he was that close in front of me things would have been really close with the boards , release would have told him pay more attention your on my troll line your nothing but a tail piper ;) I'm sure his name was Richard Cranium ;D
Richard Cranium....thats a good one, that is close to what I yelled to him ;D

The other thing i like about them DC is that you can rip them through the weeds and it won't come off like a worm will. But when your done fishing with them for the day, make sure you take it off the hook. If you let it dry on your hook, you'll have fun trying to get it off. It shrinks about half the original size and gets rock hard. I found out the hard way. Lol

Heading back up to Black Lake next week again, Going for the walleyes Managed 5, 4 weeks ago on sonars. Going to try bucktails with a gulp minnow. I'll post a report after i get back???
-
After taking a week off, made it down there this evening around 7pm , lake was flat and mobbed with boats fishin shallow, so ran out deep to find some solitude, got 2 eyes in 4 casts, thought it was going to be on fire, but only got 2 more in the next hour or so jigging sonars, that hurt my arm so made a move shallower right at dark, picked up another 4 eyes at dark casting sticks...gots some really large smallmouth on accident, measured 2 at 19 inches, and an eye at 21 1/4 inches taken in 39 fow. Headed in around 10pm... white bugs are fading but mosquitos were biting pretty good after sunset. Great red sunset from the smoke off those colorado forest fires.
Nice job homey! Sorry I couldnt make it out with ya yest. Thanks for the call tho. Gonna be a zoo out there this wknd. Gonna relax tomorrow at our fourth of july party! :flag: :flag: :flag: :flag: :flag:

Doing some Birthday fishing today, celebrating my 24th. hoping to get some good size torpedos, best tasting ones. Ill let you know how i do tonight
Hey now! Happy 24th Bday TTB. Great to see new members enjoying this forum, well and the fishing addiction some people have. I'm not one of them though.... haven't started that 12 step program that I hear others talk about. :laugh:

Went out this morning with my buddy joe, Managed to get my limit, my buddy got 3 but only one keeper. Mine all came before 8:30am had to search for them. Anyone notice how thin they have gotten?? They don't look like they are but they are. My 3 fish are the bottom 3 15 1/2 - 17,- 17.inches. Jig with a 3in gulp minnow.

Males bud. But here is how I figure it out. ;D
If your in the boat...Throw them in the live well. If there are males and females mixed together, the females will be the ones shouting and complaining about something. The males will be cowering in the corner. :w00t:

beautiful out this morning, a little slower then the last couple weeks for me . but i have a quick question, I was trolling out by 119 ,another boat called troll king (3 guys)or something like that pulled out in front of me about 150 yds and shut it off and started jigging. I didnt think to much about it, so i started to turn right to troll with the wind in a track i have on my gps. so i get about the same distance to the right of him 150 yds or so , i see him throwing his hands around in the air , he thinks im trolling his drift ??? ??? i sat for a minute in disbelief :-\. then i told him what i thought of him. im not sure what I was suppose to do, you pulled in front of me and shut it down!!! if i went left into the wind i would have barely made it by you! so I went right! was i suppose to pull my rigs in and turn around?? I hope he didnt feel i was trying to get his fish, i fish for the fun of it, if you asked me i would probably have given you my fish!! its not that big a deal . but I just wonder whats the protocol in that scenario???
Troll king, I saw that boat parked in a driveway right by ESM school, thought it was kind of a dumb name. Apparently the boat has a stupid person to go along with the stupid name. I'll get his address for you so you can send him a thank you card. Some people just don't have a clue.
-
no need to do that,hopefully he took a look back at what happened , and will learn the next time to think a little.

Stopped down to Lances garage yesterday too have him look at my car, got to visit with boys for a while...had a good time chattin about fishin, sorry wasn't more talk a tive, felt like hell for about 2 hrs, must of ate something that didn't agree with me or the heat, not sure, what ever it was it faded a little while later, figured I'm down there might as well fish, met Big Jim from Pa and went out around 7pm... Very chopping conditions out there, 2-4 footers out deep so hugged the shoreline and fished in 8-11 feet of water...Did a short drift, found fish and anchored...We did pretty well for being anchored, Jim got 8 keeper eyes and I got 7, plus a big drum, a few bass and a big sunfish.. Bucktail / crawler bite was going strong again in the waves. Wow was that an aewsome orange/red sunset, wish I brought my camera. Came in around 930pm. water temp was 76 degrees.
nice job bullhead and happy birthday.
Heres some from yesterday and my limit from the night before headin to the knife , 4 over 19, one 21 +....

Went out this morning for a few hours. Jigged up 9 eyes, 7 keepers and a couple yellows. Fish were from 32' - 43' on bucktails. I marked a lot of fish suspended. Caught the perch and 1 eye up pretty high.
Ran into the Foul Anchor out there. It was nice chatting with you guys.

Nice to see you guys out there Freddie. That's just what Nyman needs is a new trick for getting eyes. He's dangerous enough as it is!!
By the way ... thanks for not throwing a sonar at my boat when I got too close to you!! :w00t:

nice fish everyone , and Jim you weren't that close , did you find Mr. Hollywood ?
-

Yep ... sure did. I went out for the deep jig bite. It was alot slower than it has been lately. I worked hard for 6 fish. One on a bucktail, the rest on sonars. HW was playing with the walleyes in the weeds. So many options.........................

Nice fish fellas. Heres me n Tonys hogs from yesterday. Smallest was 20".

Big night tonight, probably the fastest action I've seen all season, Me and Big jimmy drove out deep at 7pm, by 9pm we put 39 eyes in the boat jigging sonars, my elbow injury was sore after the first 30 minutes, but it was too good too not smack em up good .... literally got bit on almost every cast for a while, had 5 doubles and dumped a pile... Quite a few slobs, I'll measured them tomorrow, I know one went almost 23 inches, fished shallow from 9-10 pm ... got another 4 in the boat while enjoying the fireworks., I was having a dumpfest with a bucktail without a trailer. Big Jimmy put up a good fight, but I edged him out tonight 23 to 20. Great night jigging!!!! :laugh:

Nice job Shane!
Man, that sheepie is a pig!!
The eyes in most of my usual spots are spread out ... few and far between.
Latched into something BIG with a sonar this morning. He (or she) was taking big slow surges. Thought I was going to have a battle on my hands ... but it tore off. I don't mind losing fish, I just like to get a look at them first. Felt like a big 'ol cat.

Nice fish. Did you weigh the big one?
Seems like you need 14+ lbs. to win one of those tourneys. I am going to guess that you would need all 5 fish to be at least 20" to get a weight like that? Of course one pig makes up for a lot.

You Oneida guys are unreal. The numbers you put up is crazy. This past week is my first time ever fishing it out of a boat for walleye. Fished it twice this week so far. I have gotten three walleye each trip out. I forgot my tape in the car today so I tossed one walleye back in the drink that I should have kept. Got all 3 in 18 FOW.. Launched at Oneida Shores this morn. Bass tourney going on. That was a mistake. Heres a few from today. I feel like I have no business posting on this thread :o

I havent been able to get out early enough because my running lights havent been working. So I have had kind of a late start. Im heading back out tomorrow. Report back.

Had a great day.. went to work and sold a 2500 zero turn mower, then went golfing and nailed my first ever birdie.. then went out fishing and caught my limit.. its not even 11... what should i do... OH I KNOW.... Raplala fishing on xbox 360!!

right Andy , you have every bit as much right as anyone on Oneida , you represent the future of our sport and do it well Bro . I for one can't wait to get on the water with you , and I know you feel the same ..... Let's do it this week , I'll call you in the mornin ;)
-
chief whats wrong with what you caught , those are nice fish and a few dinners , keep posting pics , boat fishing is much different than shore fishing , so i think for your first time in a boat you did very well ,
-
You did great Chief, its not always about numbers with me, depends on who I fish with. I did the same thing as you tonight, stayed shallow, I boated 5 keeper eyes, 3 giant smallmouth, 2 big sunfish, a giant drum and a monster catfish...Not alot of fish for 3 hours, but I was in relax mode, just wanted some tuggers and I found em. ;D
Start keeping a diary Chief, as a few seasons are behind you, you'll see patterns., Like you I fished it from shore for alot of years and an occational boatride with buds, but this is only my fourth summer owning a boat and keeping it at Oneida in June and July., but I got 3 seasons too look back on now and counting.
-
Yeah I really need to keep a diary. I know that will be a useful tool a few years down the road. I have had a boat for about 4 years now, but have had older motors and have had trouble with them in the past. Had to upgrade and get newer. Something reliable. Nothing worse then planning a trip then not being able to get out. Eating some breakfast then headin out again. Good luck out there today fellas

can't remember the last time i used my running lights , i never go out that early or stay out that late to need them ,i go out just to enjoy my self these days , I'm not about numbers it's about the eating , and i choose to eat the ones that are 16-18" i try and toss the bigger ones back , unless they are badly hooked remember no matter how many eyes you catch you can only keep 3 to bring home , but not to say whippen the tar outta them isn't fun , but these days i enjoy the fishing a little more than the numbers game , i must be getting old ;) now fishing through the ice might be a different story i'm forced to try and keep up with the snag :blink:

boat fishing is fun , but the hard water is more of a challenge , then your fishing a 6" hole , it's easier to find them at 30mph in a boat , but then again finding is easy trying to get them to bite is another story , but you know about that don't ya ::)

Fished again this morning. Same place. Out near frenchmans. 18 FOW just outside most of the weeds. I went 5 for 5 on the walleyes. One short. Also got a 17 1/2 inch smallie and a small drum. Uncle didnt catch a thing this morning. Got 4 walleye on a black johnson swimming grub with a half night crawler. I got the larger walleye and the smallie on a yellow and silver sonar. The largest eye was a whisker over 19''...I got my running lights working so next time I go I will leave earlier. I wish oneida shores opened the gate earlier than 6.

Fished again this morning. Same place. Out near frenchmans. 18 FOW just outside most of the weeds. I went 5 for 5 on the walleyes. One short. Also got a 17 1/2 inch smallie and a small drum. Uncle didnt catch a thing this morning. Got 4 walleye on a black johnson swimming grub with a half night crawler. I got the larger walleye and the smallie on a yellow and silver sonar. The largest eye was a whisker over 19''...I got my running lights working so next time I go I will leave earlier. I wish oneida shores opened the gate earlier than 6. Is there other launches that will put me close enough to the islands? Heres a couple pics...
I keep my boat at lakeshore marina the launch fee there is eight dollars .they have a honor system drop box. You can launch at midnight if you want.it is at the corner of mudmill and lakeshore you can see the islands from the launch.

Nice job chief :thumbup_smilie:

Nice work Chief...I'm headed back out there on the 4th, taking a Buddy and his 12 year old son...he is a really good kid and is obsessed with fishing, he has been dying to go fishing with me...I feel a little pressure I don't want to let the kid down...gonna have to work extra hard for them...he has never caught a Walleye...I hope to have some good pics of him holding his first an hopefully a limit...

Good luck out there Hunt! How is the launch there at the lakeshore marina? Deep?

I have been launching at Godfrey...it is nice...I just recommend beating the late morning rush...took about an hour last saturday to get the boat out of the water...everyone was friendly and patient though that was good...

They probably knew Release was watching them thru his binoculars and he had a pocket full of rocks ;D
-
hahaha thats great. Yeah my uncle usually launches out of Godfreys as well. He wanted to try fishing where I have been the past few times. We got fish, the only problem was he didnt get any of them. I felt kind of bad outfishing him in his decked out Lund ;D Not really ::)
-
finally got out tonight for a couple of hours. got 4 walleyes. the biggest was 22 1/4 " just under 5 lbs ;D. also got a 4 1/2 lb smallmouth ;D. dropped 6 at the boat. all fish were caught on #6 gold little joes in 15fow out by frenchmans island. water temp was 76.
nice job on the fish chief ;D ;D ;D. the area your fishing is loaded with quality fish. later...
there is a launch at onieda lake marina. it's located at southbay, and lakeshore rd. it's about a half mile from where you are fishing...
-
Great job guys!!
Chief as you put your time in on Oneida you'll learn the lake and start to really get into them. The numbers you got on the west end is very good. The east end seems to produce more.
Nice cat Snag! Thats awesome.
-
Good luck out there Hunt! How is the launch there at the lakeshore marina? Deep?
It's about 4 foot I have a 18 foot bayliner and I have no problems.

nice job chief , see your already improving and only the second time out , we love pics

They probably knew Release was watching them thru his binoculars and he had a pocket full of rocks ;D
thanks coach , but they were small rocks ;) more like sonars ,but only throw the non productive ones ;D

Headed out in the am again with my buddy. I have limited out every time i've gone, Lets hope tomorrow is the same.

good luck young man , don't forget some pics , going for size or eats ?

chief there are a couple of launches right inside the islands on the south shore. There is a launch at the end of south bay road that has a drop box, so you can get in there whenever you want. There is also boats a float marina farther east on lakeshore road, they have a drop box too.

If you limit out early or the eyes aren't cooperating, try running some smaller worm harnesses (Dixie spinners) along and above the weeds. This has been producing all kinds of different species for us. It's a little more action than jigging for eyes and the kids really seem to enjoy it.
We'll be out there on the east end tomorrow. It's going to be a HOT one for sure. We'll probably be loaded up with the whole fam damily, dogs and all! If you see a blue and white pontoon fishing, stop and say high.
-
Sounds good...Black LUND here...good call on the other fish if it is slow...I'll be between 123 and 119...

Thinking hard about knocking off early for a mid-day drift, look for the white hood ornament.

Headed out last night around 6 it was gorgeous out. Went down east past 123, wow its alot more fun when you can do 35 the whole way there and back thats for sure. Stayed out in 30 fow and trolled with a 6 pole spread, it was deadly we had an eye on pretty much at all times. Saw the fire boat out there not sure if they were towing someone in or jumping them or what happened? Ventured across the channel just for fun and picked up a 22 and a half hog he was a great fight. Wow the eyes are hungry every other fish inhaled the hook,ive never seen so many just swallow it immediately like that. Kept our 6 and headed in around 830 to a beautiful sunset and just enough chop to get us on top of the waves and flying. Might try for ontario tomorrow morning and some of those football browns!

my brother and I went to oneida to try and catch some walleyes for my sister up from Florida. Haven't been fishing in a month but been following everyones great reports. It took us awhile to find some fish but after we did we got our six fish in an hour, all fish were between 16 and 18 inches, will be great dinnerfare. the lakeport area in 30ft was the answer for us.

Hey Hollywood, Went fishing with your buddy pete the x-cop and my buddy which is his buddy joe this morning. We boated 23eyes and we started at 6 am and i was limited out at 6:48am. What a amazing morning. Started out with a slight breeze then went dead flat. Found some weeds at 14ft and started draging our jigs on bottom with little or no twitch at all just a slow retrieve. Heres a few from this morning.

Fished yesterday evening with snagger and hid buddy bob. Headed out around 6:45 and fished til 9:30. We ended up all limiting out on the waldos and threw back at least another 6 or 8 keepers. I also caught a monster sheepshead, my biggest to date in my 30 years of fishing oneida lake! Got some great pics. Once i figure out the new card reader I bought today, I will post the pics. :-\ I also ended up boating a nice cat. Both the drum and cat were caught on jigs. We also had some smallies, perch, and sunnys mixed in. Great mixed bag of fish!

Really? Oneida Lake has pretty strict walleye regs. Most of New York states walleye limit is a 5 fish limit where as Oneida Lake has a 3 fish limit of at least 15 inches. Used to be 18 inches until DEC figured out that most of the fish being kept were females of breeding age which hurt the population more than anything. Seems that they have it figured out pretty good. Not to mention that at least 500-1000 walleyes made it through winter this year with the bad ice conditions due to the mild winter we had. I would say when you go out and catch 40-50 keeper eyes between a couple guys and you release all but six fish that is some serious catch and release and it also shows the walleye population can support the 3 fish limit.

Good bite going on this summer! Glad u guys had some success on the eyes out there! :thumbup_smilie:
-
Nice haul Gunnerdk!!! ...Alot of fun jiggin that deep isn't it. :laugh:
-
to the catch and release guy... I have no idea why the eyes are biting so well this year, very low winter harvest is one key factor, favorable weather conditions every weekend since the opener is another, but the big easy bite will end eventually, probably after the young of the year shad get large enough to fill there bellies ,or we trim this population back into a normal proportion... who knows, but until then its great for the masses, young and old, average or veteran....... When the populations get back in check or these fish become full, it will get diffacult again and you'll work for your 3, like dead said though, even though were boating sometimes 40 in a few hours, were only keeping our limit. Just not working for them, these eyes seem very thin to me, like there populations need culling., atleast the ones deeper, the shallow fish are fatter and more healthy looking, seen them feeding on wigglers last week and perch fry last night. Who knows, I'd just enjoy it while it lasts, I myself look forward to a harder bite.

biologist from cornell said perch fry population is way down which makes alot of sense to me. the eyes im getting are all thin and empty and extremely hungry! nothing in their bellies and theyre swallowing the bait whole

The excellent season we are enjoying this year, in my opinion, is still not as good as the fishing was in the 80's, and I think it had more pressure and fish taken from it back then too. This lake has sustained so many changes in the last 20 years it amazes me that we still have such an incredible walleye lake. Take what ever fish are legal to take, but more importantly...USE THEM. If you have a freezer full, give them to people that love 'em, invite the guys for a fry, anything but letting them get freezer burned & wasted. Snagger's probably right though...tougher days will soon be here. But we'll go anyway and have as much fun or maybe even more!

I agree with you there hollywood ! the late 70's, early 80's were amazing. all you had to do is pull up to a weed edge, any weed edge, and hammer away !!! especailly perch.
i've been fishing for walleyes in the weeds, and there not as fat as they should be. I've caught some real monsters this year, but most of them are thin. later...
-
for sure they are the skinniest eyes i've seen , i weighed several 20" eyes and the weights were from 2-2.2 lbs a well fed eye of that size should be right around 3 lbs and as of last week i'm not keeping anymore until my supply runs down , and all the eyes i've caught in the last 2 weeks had nothing in their stomachs either
-
Went with a great friend out bass fishing a few day ago and we had a blast. I caught a walleye in 7 FOW on a bright sunny hot day in July. I didn't even get it in the boat....I was tying a lure on a different rod so it took me by suprise and I looked like a Laurel and Hardy skit ;D I have not caught one sheephead yet and I am really disappointed....those are the best fighting (pound for pound) freshwater fish I've caught.
My buddy thought he was in a bass tourney and tried to flip a walleye in the boat and it popped of the hook and went scooting across the deck right back in the water...the look on his face was priceless.
Going to the Cape this weekend for a Striper charter and I will miss Oneida. Tight lines to all

skunk that must have been funny and good luck with the stripers and a few pics would be nice

X2 Those were some good years. ;) My neighbor brought over a 21" walleye( his first i think) ask if i would show him how to filet it, 1 minute later he is holding two nice filets. We had just got done having a walleye fish fry for dinner, so i sent some fried filets home with him. I think he has got walleye fever now ;D
He caught it in 4 FOW in the middle of the day, its belly was empty also. I think those walleyes are starving too death! :laugh: Go get em boys!!

We caught most of ours in the weeds in 14ft to 16ft of water. Try that, if that doesn't do the trick go deep. I was dragging my jig on bottom in the weeds with a slow lift our twitch, and my buddy was jigging normal and i out fished him 3-1. Not saying it works for everyone but we did boat 23 eye's yesterday.
-
I agree with you guys that the 70's and 80's were insane on this lake. Think the walleye limits were different though ??? Wasnt the limit 8 or ten in late 60's and early 70's? Remember my neighbors coming in from fishing with whole boat load of perch and bunch of eyes in the early 80's. As far as keeping a limit goes, I only keep what my family will eat or to give some filets to an old timer who cant get out on the water anymore. We also have big fish frys with friends and fam and even turn on some people who have never tried walleye and now they are addicted. I have had countless nights where I have caught over 10 fish and threw every one back in because I had plenty in the freezer.

The 70' & 80's !! Cornell stated that is when the population was near a million. About twice what it is today. Oneida still has a great population !! Who remember's when you could have 15 tip-ups on Oneida and not be in attendance ? Also, it was the only water that had a boat limit in NYS. The daily limit was 10, can't remember what the boat limit was, must be getting old !! Keuka Lake experienced a crash in bait fish back in the 70's and it did impact the lake trout. Anything you trolled by them was eaten. A 6 to 8 year old trout would barely be legal. The state netted alewives and restocked the lake, that did the trick. Back to Oneida, if the perch population comes back or the perch produce a super year class then it's back to normal for the eye's !! Retired ECO
-
Thanks ecolt. I thought the limit was around 10 back then. Never knew about the boat limit though. Intresting stuff though for sure
-
got out for a short time this morning. lost 1 walleye at the boat. man !!!!!!!!!!! there's alot of real idiot's out there today. A guy in a 18ft. lund didn't miss me by 5ft :cursing: :cursing: :cursing: :cursing: :cursing: :cursing:. he was at a full cruise. I asked him what his *%^#* problem was. he spun his boat around, and came right up to the side of my boat !!! I asked him if it was the first time he had drivin a boat! after a short yelling contest, I asked him if he would like to board my vessle. go figure he wouldn't ??? I told him to have a nice safe day, and to get away from me before I board your vessle !!! he left dirrectly !! hopefully he learned a lesson. I have to say, it felt pretty good to get some agression out. tight lines, and happy 4th !!! later...

biologist from cornell said perch fry population is way down which makes alot of sense to me. the eyes im getting are all thin and empty and extremely hungry! nothing in their bellies and theyre swallowing the bait whole
Even if the perch fry are way down, they don't really get to a size big enough for the eyes to eat until around now, early July...so that doesn't explain why they been so active and readily available in May and June.
-
And if the eyes are starving to death, say from bad emerald shiner year classes or baby white perch, the best thing to do is cull them. A unhealthy fish can develop diseases and spread it through the population. Ask Cornell about that, they have studied kidney problems with kings that were starving to death in Michigan and botulism with other species from stress.
-
They were hungry again this morning...We were all by ourselves between 38-42 FOW...took my friend Ron and his 13 year old son Little Ron and neither had ever caught an Eye...I caught three off the bat and kinda felt bad, I changed up their spinners and they finally got into the action...we managed 17 total...10 legal sized, kept our 9...the boy ended up out fishing us and caught the biggest one of the year...it was a nice fat 3.8 pound 22"er...he was excited that sucker took drag on him three or four times...I thought maybe he had a Smallie or Sheepie...his smile was priceless...also caught 4 that were 6-8"s, they were healthy looking little fish, first time I caught them that small as well...everyone enjoy your 4th!

Nice size ones Hunt!!!! I know that spot, if you look hard I think i see Rick's. Me and deadeyes call that "Homie Hump" ;D
-
They were either real nice or REAL tiny...I guess it is good to have a good population of younger fish too...a couple were real small maybe not even 6"s..."HOMIE HUMP"...ha ha I like that maybe I'll change the name in my GPS to that..LOL...there were ZERO boats near us and one boat moved in about 500 yards or more right before we picked up...thats how I like it most of the time... ;D
-
And if the eyes are starving to death, say from bad emerald shiner year classes or baby white perch, the best thing to do is cull them. A unhealthy fish can develop diseases and spread it through the population. Ask Cornell about that, they have studied kidney problems with kings that were starving to death in Michigan and botulism with other species from stress.
Think fishreaper is a cornell guy. Not sure why he would post that about catch and release??? Your right on about the disease thing.

got out for a short time this morning. lost 1 walleye at the boat. man !!!!!!!!!!! there's alot of real idiot's out there today. A guy in a 18ft. lund didn't miss me by 5ft :cursing: :cursing: :cursing: :cursing: :cursing: :cursing:. he was at a full cruise. I asked him what his *%^#* problem was. he spun his boat around, and came right up to the side of my boat !!! I asked him if it was the first time he had drivin a boat! after a short yelling contest, I asked him if he would like to board my vessle. go figure he wouldn't ??? I told him to have a nice safe day, and to get away from me before I board your vessle !!! he left dirrectly !! hopefully he learned a lesson. I have to say, it felt pretty good to get some agression out. tight lines, and happy 4th !!! later...
it is getting ridiculous now days, it is hard not to lose your cool sometimes. Thinking about putting couple more layers on the hull, then i just run into idiots ;D hey thats what i bought insurance for ???after my last incident, I was getting ready to go out again and my oldest daughter said dont yell at anyone today dad, so i went into the downstairs and shouldered my ar15 with a m203 on, went back up carrying my tackle box and 2 30 rnd clips ;D ;D. they laughed and said that would be your style. ;)
-
I like your style!! :evil: Last time i was out with snag monday evening we had 4 boats following us around! One guy even had the nerve to troll around us in a circle about 20 yards away! We decided to play nice since he had his kid in the boat! ;D Was tempted to play pin the sonar on the "donkey" though

Hey I kept my cool though dead, that one guy anchored right where I got 2 eyes in 2 casts, but instead we pulled anchor and shifted to a different location. I'm getting used too Oneida Lake boaters now. ;D
-
Hey Snagger, as you know, if there had been a good year class of perch last year the would be the right size this year (3 to4 inches). That and a good year class of the white perch last year would have also provided much forage. Making the 80 mile trip next Tues. with my son s you guys leave a few for this old geezer. Did well a couple of weeks ago on your lake but who doesn't !! Happy holiday !! Retired ECO

how many on here remember one year they had a 12" minimum length on eyes ?
and i remember the late 70's perch and eye fishing was outsanding but that was before the zebra mussles, lake was not clear a little brackish in color fish didnt get a real good look at the bait , hopefully they will start feeding and make people work for them a little harder

Those zebra mussels really changed things for sure Freddie! I like the stained water where they cant get a good look at the bait. Kinda like that murky water we find during ice season ;)

neither did I, ill bet she dont do good on the freeway. they use them on the Rio Grande against the Mexican drug cartel.

Here is an article from a paper a few weeks ago.... Read it all to get to the Oneida stuff..
Back in 1953, a New York State hunting license cost $2.25.
It was $2.25 for fishing, and $3.75 for a combination license, a savings of 75 cents. A big game tag was another $2.25. So, for six bucks you could get after all legal game and fish. Not bad, although a pack of Luckies was just 20 cents back then, a gallon of gas was about the same, a new house could be had for less than $10,000, and a new car for about $1,700.
In terms of real money, a license today probably is less expensive, I think.
Steve Payne, owner of Steve Payne Custom Rods in Cassville, sent me the 1953 New York Fish and Game Syllabus. It’s nearly 60 years old, so naturally a lot of the regulations in it seem strange, at least to me. You kind of wonder what the heck the guys who put that syllabus together were thinking.
For example, on opening day of any small game season, hunting was allowed only between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Thereafter, it was 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. There had to be a reason, but you have to wonder what it was. Big game could be taken from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day of the open season.
Some of the regulations are pretty funny, like this one that jumped out at me under “Who Must Have Licenses”:
“Women over 16 are now required to have a license to fish.”
That wasn’t so in New York until, I believe, 1948. I’ve struggled with that one for a long time. What was the thinking behind that?
Seasons back then were generally less liberal than today, bag and creel limits often were far more generous and everything was pretty complicated. The trout season was from April 1 to September 10, and the hours were from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. from April 1 to May 15, then any hour for the remainder of the season. I’ve been trying to figure that one out, too. Also, the limit was five trout from April 1 to May 15, then 10 till the end of the season.
And there is this:
“The taking of all species of fish from waters inhabited by trout in the Counties of Oneida and Madison is prohibited from March 1 to the opening date of trout season.”
Walleyes were subject to some interesting regulations. The state-wide season was May 1 to March 1, but on many waters there was no closed season, no minimum length and no creel limit. The Niagara River was one of those waters. The walleye population there crashed in the 1960s, and there always has been the notion that industrial waste was the biggest reason, but there were all kinds of bass, sheephead, muskies, northern pike, silver bass, carp and panfish in the river. Do you think a century’s worth of everyone taking all the walleyes they could get of any size had anything to do with the decline? The same thing happened with the river’s tremendous number of huge sturgeon, which were pulled out of there in wagonloads for decades.

The same thing happened with the river’s tremendous number of huge sturgeon, which were pulled out of there in wagonloads for decades.
There was a limit for walleyes on Oneida Lake – 15 fish of 12 inches or better, or 25 fish if two or more persons were fishing from the same boat. Could you imagine a good, knowledgeable angler working the lake? Several hundred fish a season would be possible. You can bet it was done many times.
Whitetail deer were a different story, probably a reflection of how recently they had returned to much of the state. With few exceptions, the bag limit was one buck. The season in the Adirondacks was five weeks. It was just over two weeks in the Catskills, and just seven days at the end of November in most of the rest of the state. The deer take that year was 29,352, all but about 300 of them adult bucks.
Certain critters were not so well protected, especially if they had reputations as fish and game killers. You could kill all the English sparrows, starlings, crows, purple grackles, kingfishers, cormorants, great horned owls, sharp-shinned hawks, Cooper’s hawks and goshawks you had a mind to. English sparrows and starlings are still on that list, along with rock pigeons and monk parakeets, but everything else is either protected or subject to regulated hunting.
It was a different day, yes. I’m sure many of the 1953 regulations were based on political and social considerations and possibly incomplete understanding of the biology of game fish and animals. You’d like to think that today’s rules have more lot of science and reason and thought behind them, even if there still are political and social pressures, but I don’t doubt some guy 50 or 60 years from now will take a look at the 2011-12 hunting and fishing guides and wonder what the heck we were thinking about.

thanks great read ,

thanks great read ,
+1 very interesting. If someone wrote a book on the history of all the NY game laws i would by it.

Got checked by the DEC yesterday. Had a first timer on the boat with a license they got 2 hours before. Nice young guy, glad to see him out, I think this is like 4 DEC checks in 35 years now. We found our limits out in 32-36', had a most enjoyable trip ;D
-
did cubby have his guides licence :w00t: last 2 times me and the misses got check it was cool hey filet and misses filet hold up your licences, how many fish you got ok see ya ;D

Sounds like the same guy that checked us out by 109 a couple weeks ago. Really nice guy. we showed him out licenses and he checked out fish and measured our smallest. He was driving a beat to heck Boston Whaler. I wish there was more money in the budget for these guys and gals!
We found them in 22 fow yesterday morning; no need to head out to the deep water. We picked up a dozzen or so then headed in. I figured being a holiday and temps in the 90's, it was going to turn into a zoo out there. Way too much hot and stupid for me to deal with!
-
They were either real nice or REAL tiny...I guess it is good to have a good population of younger fish too...a couple were real small maybe not even 6"s..."HOMIE HUMP"...ha ha I like that maybe I'll change the name in my GPS to that..LOL...there were ZERO boats near us and one boat moved in about 500 yards or more right before we picked up...thats how I like it most of the time... ;D
Nice job again on the eyes HUNT.
We made it out in the afternoon for a couple hours. We ended up with 11 eyes, 6 keepers, and a fat yellow. It was pretty quiet out there and HOT. Thank god for the nice breeze though.
These fish do seem very thin. I agree with SNAGGER and HOLLYWOOD, keep your limit every trip. It will only help the lake. There are plenty of people that love to eat walleyes so spread the love. ;D
-
what i noticed the smaller ones seemed to be in great shape , it was the bigger ones that seemed to be like axe handles
-
Do you guys think that the dead wallys I see floating around starved to death or maybe they were culled to death. I also feel the fishing was great in the 70's and early 80's. Stained water and lack of muscles meant for a healthier pop.
-
I think the limit in the 70s was 10 with a boat limit of 20. I think 10" was the size limit.
I can't wait I am headed down Saturday for a week! Staying at 3 pines in North Bay. The fishing has been fantastic this year, I tell some oldtimers about it and they all say the same thing it's not like it was in the 70s and 80s. I remember that we hardly fished during the day back then, we use to start listing for them from shore about 10pm and when we finally heard them feeding we would all run for our poles and start throwing stick baits. We would catch them for awhile then it would stop, for an hour or so then start up again. We also use to go out and night fish from boats usually in 30+ fow and just drop a nightcrawler to the bottom on a single hook. We had lantern brackets and hung the lanterns over the side first you would attract the bugs then the minnows. It was a great way to fish. I have tried that a bunch in recent years with no success. Has anybody had any luck night fishing from a boat? Good luck!
-
I fished out of the north shore yesterday with a freind of mine. we got on the water at 5am and fished 20'-28' of water. we ended up landing 9 eyes 3 were shorts and 5 bass. all the fish came on straight Brown and black and purple buck tails. we had limits by 7:30am or so. Water temp was 76 degrees and there was a nice stiff breeze out there. nice to get out there again ;D
-
Sweet deal man!
-
Im debating whether to go out there this evening. I was gunna fish the south shore. If anybody can tell me what the waves are like today that would be good! Only have a 14 footer ;D

nw wind 10 mph right now. about a 1' chop. sully...
-
Fished out of the south shore launch this am. Got 3 keeper eyes and 2 shorts, 2 smallmouth that were very accrobatic and a jack perch. Done by 930
-
What a difference a year makes! Last year was my first time fishing Oneida and maybe only caught 10 eyes the whole season. Two days ago, my wife and I got 8 eyes (3 shorts), 2 perch, and 1 smallmouth all in over 30' fow. A few weeks ago, it was 22' feet that seemed to work best for me. Anyway, back on the lake tomorrow. Maybe the lake will get difficult again soon but for now, whoopee!!
-
Gentlemen....Please have pity on "the guy that can't catch walleyes." That's right, its me. I've only tried it once this year and obviously, from the previous statement, I had no luck. I'm going to try again tomorrow on the east end. Any recommendations for a good depth to start? I usually do the spinner/worm thing but will try some jigging, too. Thanks.

just read back a few pages and you will see a variety of ways to catch eyes.....they're all good right now

If you're heading out in a boat, and get out EARLY, start shallow around points, weeds lines, or rock piles with buck tails tipped with half a crawler. If you don't get into any fish head for deeper water and jig the same bucktails or sonars. Good luck!

No kidding , I'm watering daily .... Good results this year tho , already pickin Zuchinni and Bananna Peppers ;D

Yes on Rain!!! We got squash and Cukes tonight for the first time...

Cukes are startin , and Maters are flowerin , so are peas and beans .... Chief ok after his epic coon battle ?
-
No signs of Rabies yet...he is pretty happy...we broke down and hooked up the AC...I think he likes the house cool too...dog is spoiled he is... ;D
-
Got into them well this morning and had a first also. I was trying out a rig about 6' behind a 3oz keel sinker, had a good hit, set the hook & brought up about a 20" eye. As my buddy was netting it I see the rig in the water, the crazy eye swallowed the keel sinker & got it lodged sideways in his mouth! Never seen that act before. ;D
-
I been eating squash and cukes for about a week now, tomatoes are still green....... we need rain....came home from Oneida tonight, no water...just had to lower my foot valve in the well and re prime the pump, shes low, only the second time in 19 yrs I had to do it.
Hit Oneida tonight from 6-930pm, took my 10 6" steelhead rods down for the second night in a row, the 3 of us picked up 23 keeper eyes anchored in 12fow, plus a good 20 big sunfish, and multiple smallmouth..... alot of fun with the long stick, got bored of sonar fishing the eyes deep, so tried something new , me and another friend got 16 keeper eyes yesterday evening with the long rods... crazy year...lots of fun... just keeps going... :laugh:
my bad only 10 keepers last evening, 16 total..... read my notes wrong
-
Wow great fishing so far this year! Lots of walleye blood getting spilled though...... am wondering if we shouldn't be doing some Catch and Release. Seriously......
HAha.....got Alot to learn, on average there is approx. half a million adult walleye in that lake. Estimated angler take per year is around 200,000. The math still looks pretty good to me.
-
They were hungry again this morning...We were all by ourselves between 38-42 FOW...took my friend Ron and his 13 year old son Little Ron and neither had ever caught an Eye...I caught three off the bat and kinda felt bad, I changed up their spinners and they finally got into the action...we managed 17 total...10 legal sized, kept our 9...the boy ended up out fishing us and caught the biggest one of the year...it was a nice fat 3.8 pound 22"er...he was excited that sucker took drag on him three or four times...I thought maybe he had a Smallie or Sheepie...his smile was priceless...also caught 4 that were 6-8"s, they were healthy looking little fish, first time I caught them that small as well...everyone enjoy your 4th
Sounds like ya just might have turned another young man into an addict Hunt. ;D Good work, and a great story, thanks for sharing.
-
biologist from cornell said perch fry population is way down which makes alot of sense to me. the eyes im getting are all thin and empty and extremely hungry! nothing in their bellies and theyre swallowing the bait whole
Randy Jackson wrote that report, and actually Dave Figura shared some of that report in the Sport section of the Sunday paper a few weeks back. He also stated that adult walleye population count was slightly down this year, as well as yearling perch, which is the main food source for adult walleye. Therefore and simply making that lake better than average this season for the walleye anglers. Has anyone slapped the lips off perch lately? I haven't heard too many reports on heavy perch success. I guess these cycles are what they're looking for, and they mean success in the hatchery program.

HAha.....got Alot to learn, on average there is approx. half a million adult walleye in that lake. Estimated angler take per year is around 200,000. The math still looks pretty good to me.
but not this year walleye take through the ice was way way down , SO looks to me like way more eyes than normal , ? remember those numbers can be off ,and in combination with lower bait count makes for easy pickens , this past week i started seeing lots of bait balls in several locations , if they are looking at year old fry numbers , next year ought to be good seeings though the perch didn't get hurt this past winter either , so if this is the case it should be a little tougher next year, and with the numbers being taken now should put a dent in the eye population, just an ol buzzards oppion

Looks like a search and resue operation underway for three boaters since last night...sounds like they hit the Bouy near Messenger Shoal last night...last I heard 1 was resued and three were still missing...I sure hope they find them...the news said all from one family...that is just terrible...

We just fueled the Coast Guard Helocopter and they are back out for the recovery. I'm sure they will be back for fuel so I will find out what I can from them. Cheeks out!!! 8)
-
i just hope everything goes well for them plus there will be boaters out there
-
Good going REEL! Your child is going to be overdone...are you a Dad yet???
Still baking...

Still baking...
Cheeks and I will be out tomorrow AM in my boat...I guess any minute for you...sleep now! ;D
-
The chopper is back. No luck so far. Not sure if they are heading back out. Cheeks out!!! 8)
-
I heard that they hit the 113 buoy at Messenger. I was out fishing last night with my girlfriend and we could see all the commotion going on out there. We knew something terrible must have happened. Very tragic news. The guy they pulled from the water said he thought they hit a rock in the middle of the lake ..... that's pretty much what 113 is. Sucks.
-
Coast Guard pilots have timed out. Canadian rescue chopper has taken over. Still no sign of the fisherman. Cheeks out!!! 8)

just saw it on the news. the sherrifs dept. confirmed that 3 bodys were recovered. it's a sad day on onieda lake. our thoughts ,and prayers go out to the family. it was a father, and his 2 sons. sully
-
Absolutely horrible news. I can't even imagine the grief that the wife/mother is experiencing.
-
What a terrible tragedy. My condolences to the family and friends of these men. I hope the best for the survivor.
-
I heard about the search last night. That's a terrible tragedy.
-
As much as we love that lake, it's a harsh reminder about how ugly she can be. Very terrible thing to happen to a family. God Bless them.
-
God bless their family. Heard the father was in his 60's and boys in their 40's so prob had familys of their own as well. Very sad :(

I been eating squash and cukes for about a week now, tomatoes are still green....... we need rain....came home from Oneida tonight, no water...just had to lower my foot valve in the well and re prime the pump, shes low, only the second time in 19 yrs I had to do it.
Hit Oneida tonight from 6-930pm, took my 10 6" steelhead rods down for the second night in a row, the 3 of us picked up 23 keeper eyes anchored in 12fow, plus a good 20 big sunfish, and multiple smallmouth..... alot of fun with the long stick, got bored of sonar fishing the eyes deep, so tried something new , me and another friend got 16 keeper eyes yesterday evening with the long rods... crazy year...lots of fun... just keeps going... :laugh:
my bad only 10 keepers last evening, 16 total..... read my notes wrong
Snag, had a blast yest as usual! Those eyes were on fire! Not to mention the sunnys ;D
-
Went out this morning for a few hours. Found a nice pile of eyes in a spot that has always produced well for me in early June. Weird ... everything seems to be a good 3 weeks early this year, yet the fish have showed up at this spot a good 3 weeks late. It has produced year after year, and I've been checking it faithfully. No Go until today. We did 13 eyes, 3 sheepies and a nice smallie in three drifts, then had to quit due to other commitments.
Fun Morning.
21 - 25 fow, black/purple 5/8oz. bucktail w/half a crawler. They didn't want nothing to do with the sonar.

I'm so sorry Bro. And sorry that you have to work double shifts thinking about it.
If we all bear a little of the pain, maybe it will help take some off the family's shoulders.

was out this morning , had no idea what was going on! coast guard helo passed over a few times then another showed up ? and he stayed for couple hours back and fourth, thought the worst , turns out it was. fishing started great,but turned slow very quickly. most came off fire tiger again (storm).got the worlds biggest birds nest with a brand new reel full off leadcore >:( >:( yup I was the one in the middle of the lake crying like a baby :'( :'( :'( also the one having a knock down drag out fight with a reel >:( actually thought i may have went over the deep end ,when i started to plead with it to work with me :-\ is that normal !! our thoughts go out to the family's, sad news .

My heart goes out to the 3 men who lost thier lives last night, my limit today goes to them

This makes more sense, last years young perch year class is down, not this years. just a couple nettings is all they do to estimate walleye populations, huge amount of room for error there, I was suprized to read that, I thought there studies were a little more involved than that. Maybe C & R aint such a bad idea then, if this information is correct. Well should be a bumper crop of shad right around the corner, seen piles of adults out there this spring.

Oneida Lake does go through pretty wild cycles. Fishing pressure is always there ... as somewhat of a constant. I read an article one time that tried to explain it all. When the article was written (early 80's), it said that perch fry were the primary forage for the walleye in Oneida. It went on to say that that was one reason as to why the walleyes are somewhat smaller than other water bodies - due to the fact that a diet of perch fry is high in protein ... low in fat. It is also a reason as to why they taste so good! When a strong year class of walleyes crushes that year's crop of perch fry, then it puts a dent in the perch population for that year -class. The walleye then may resort to "cannabalizing", or eating their own fry. This can put a dent in that year-class of walleyes, etc.
Like I said, fishing pressure is always there. I remember the gool 'ol days when there were just as many boats out there as there are now. I do think, though, that pressure lightened up throughout the period when the limit was raised to 18 inches. The fishing was OK, but not great during that time and alot of less-serious fishermen kinda gave up on Oneida for a while. It wasn't a fun time, but I think it did alot of good - only because less walleyes were taken from the lake. Like Deadeyes said though, the program didn't work - as far as protecting the normal "breeders".
Now ... add forage like shad, emerald shiners and white perch and the cycle would be extremely difficult to figure out.
Like the veterans say .... enjoy the fishing for what it is right now. No need to over-harvest. Be good stewards of the resource. You have a license that says you can take 3 walleyes a day. If you have enough ... turn 'em loose. If you hook 'em deep - keep 'em and give them to someone who wants them or NEEDS them. If the fishing starts to decline in the coming years, it won't be from overfishing ... it will be from the cycle. It will be bad again and it will be good again.
I'm no Fisheries Biologist ..... but I did stay at a Holiday Inn once. ;D
-
I have just as much fun sitting on the ice working for my 3 as getting 20, you appreciate the good days more, when most of your days you worked for them. We are spoiled the last 2 yrs, I remember working hard at the canal during the 18 inch yrs, thats when I started fishing eyes.

but was it a holiday inn express????I heard they dont count. ;)

Very sorry for the loss of your friends...that is just a horrible accident...
-
I agree Hookinup. The last thing I want is to not protect the fishery on Oneida. I couldn't imagine not having the walleyes around. Its something that a lot of us are def passionate about and it rubs me the wrong way when someone pops on a thread like this one and thinks we are all a bunch of neanderthals that keep everything we catch or waste the fish we keep. ::)
-
but was it a holiday inn express????I heard they dont count. ;)
Doh!!! That's right.
Well ... I stayed at one of those too one time. Only for about six hours (four of which I don't remember). :P
-
(four of which I don't remember). sometimes thats not a bad thing. :o
-
Do you guys think that the dead wallys I see floating around starved to death or maybe they were culled to death. I also feel the fishing was great in the 70's and early 80's. Stained water and lack of muscles meant for a healthier pop.
no none of above i belive it is from being brought up to fast from deep water which is very hard on them break point is at about 20', some biologist say fizzing is very helpfull and others disagree , i fizz mine and put them in a live well for awhile if they are up right and act happy they go back if they are still doing the back stroke i keep them , but fizzing needs to be done right or you can injure them by puncturing an organ , you can look it up on google lots of interesting reading on bass to, i even fizz the perch

Mrs. filet works with the cousin and nephew of the men that had this terrible accident , thoughts and prays out to the family ,and now to call him god i hate this :'(

My most sincere condolances to the families of the victims , and all who were close to them :'(
This should serve as a reminder to all who do not know this lake , do not run the lake at night without very good electronics .... I have had a couple close calls and I grew up on it .
-
My wife worked with the father in DOT in Utica. Said he was a hell of a nice guy. I was out on the lake early this morning & was wondering what all the camotion was about. On a happy note, "the guy who can't catch walleyes" (yours truly) caught a couple keepers along with 3 big SM Bass, 2 pickerel and several Oneida Lake ninja sunnies.

Went out in the canoe this morning with lil deadeyez. He put it on 6 bull sunnys, 1 smallmouth, and a nice sheepy! We fished from 7:30- 9:00 and had a great time! Even had a close fly-over by one of the bald eagles that hang around the bay where I live! Good stuff ;D

I rely on my GPS too, but as we were motoring back to Fremac's from the fireworks in Sylvan Beach, I realized that you also have to be aware that there may be some unlit boats out there. The moon helped light the way, but a collision at midnight in the middle of the lake is an awful eerie thought.

back from the hospital, visited anthony! the middle brother! he has some broken ribs! cant breathe very well! but he is doing better! hes getting out tomorrow morning! still cant put together what the heck happened! but there was 2 boats following one another from brewerton! the first boat was 2 minutes infront of the second! the second boat saw stuff in the water and turned off his motor to hear anthony yelling for help! rob jumped in the water and saved anthony! noone else was seen! thats what is know rite now! robs a hero in my eyes! many small kids were in all these brothers lives that are effected! what a mess! id like to thank all you guys for the thoughts and kind words you have said! please be extra careful at nite in a boat on open water!

Thanks guys! That was the "Spot on the spot!" I think I'm in our neighborhood Reeleyz. The majority of my fish came out of a really small area today. This school is getting hammered! The limit came on buck tail and crawler, then I switched over to sonar and proceeded to drop 5 fish and pick up two shorts. Probably should have started off with the metal. My percentages are MUCH higher with the buck tails though.
-
Thanks for the update Articicejigger. Please keep us posted and tell us if there is anything we might be able to do for his family.
Went out last nite. Got out later than I wanted to ... about 7:45. Rolled 3 fish and got one eye ... on the first cast! The next dozen casts or so got me 7 more eyes. The biggest was a 21 incher that was nice, fat and healthy. I was all set to settle into a BONANZA, but the bite died just as fast as it started. The wind did a little shift and I just plain lost 'em.
At dark, I drifted in about 6 fow and swam a mimick minnow over the top of the weeds. Got a nice 19 incher and missed another doing that. Fun stuff. Had no reason to keep any, so they all had just a "near-death experience".
Got out with my girlfriend this morning ... again ... later than I wanted to (about 9:30). Got into 'em right away. The wind was swirling, and it was a small spot, so we had to drop anchor. Managed 13 eyes, 3 sheepies and a nice 12" yellow.
A couple fell for the sonar, but most of them came on the bucktail. 22 fow. Left at 12:30. Beautiful day out there.

Just got back from my 3 day trip to Black Lake. Very tough finding walleyes with the water temps at 79degs. We did manage 6 eyes alot of bass and my nice cat fish. Guessing 15 plus pounds?? It put on a nice fight and caught it on my purple and black jig tipped with a gulp minnow. My buddy joe got the lunker walleye 23 inches and hugh smallie 6-7 lbs of the trip. Heres a few pics. Love those black lake walleyes.

Hey Real deal, I grew up in B-port right next to the drag strip. The weeds are not bad at all. The lake levels are really really low. We got some eye's in the weeds but they have been under the edwardsville bridge. very shallow under there, they are hugging the shore line in a foot and a half to 3 feet of water. Number 9 count down. Fish on
-

Yesterday, on the way to 109 from Sylvan Beach, my friend John and I encountered both a log protruding up about 9 inches with a marker that someone had placed on it. I don't believe anyone could see it at night. It was in 34 Fow about 1/2 mile or so from 109. In addition, we also encountered what looked like a floating piece of a boat. It was rectangular and looked kind of like the cover that goes over a stern drive's engine. John thought it might be too heavy to pick it up so we did not try.

Just got back from my 3 day trip to Black Lake. Very tough finding walleyes with the water temps at 79degs. We did manage 6 eyes alot of bass and my nice cat fish. Guessing 15 plus pounds?? It put on a nice fight and caught it on my purple and black jig tipped with a gulp minnow. My buddy joe got the lunker walleye 23 inches and hugh smallie 6-7 lbs of the trip. Heres a few pics. Love those black lake walleyes.

It was a pig, The biggest smallie i have ever seen. We fish that bridge at night for the eye's and you would not believe the bass that we catch at night down there. Almost every other cast your getting a bass. We went out in the boat around 11pm thursday night and did a all nighter until 9 am friday morning. That one was caught around 3am. A full moon and no bugs, It was great. Here is the sun rise that morning.

LoL ... That could cost ya .... Here's how it went for me ....
Took my girlfriend out so she could see what fishing Oneida was all about. Gave her one of my spare rods to try.
She catches her first walleye ... then her second, etc, etc. She starts to get good.
Then she wants her "own" rod, so I get her a Pflueger "lady" rod with cute little pink eyes and a pink trion reel.
Then I get sick of her asking me "what depth are we at now?", so I get her her own lowrance up front and connected it to mine with ethernet.
Now, two years later, she decides we need a newer boat ... and of course I agree.
Now she sits up front with her depth finder and brand new St. Croix eyecon rod/Accurist reel combo and puts a spankin' on the eyes.
Her main goal every time out is to out-fish me ... and lots of times she does. We got 13 eyes yesterday morning. She got 6, and I got 7 ...whew! Close!
Grand total cost for getting my girlfriend into fishing walleyes?? ... About $34,000
Having a girlfriend that loves to fish?? ... Priceless!!

Yesterday, on the way to 109 from Sylvan Beach, my friend John and I encountered both a log protruding up about 9 inches with a marker that someone had placed on it. I don't believe anyone could see it at night. It was in 34 Fow about 1/2 mile or so from 109. In addition, we also encountered what looked like a floating piece of a boat. It was rectangular and looked kind of like the cover that goes over a stern drive's engine. John thought it might be too heavy to pick it up so we did not try. As it was floating, I assume there was probably some wood/ styrofoam in it. It was painted but I don't remember the color. I kept thinking that maybe it was part of the boat that hit the 113 buoy but really don't know. Didn't know if we should have notified someone. We didn't have any phone numbers with us. It was in the same general area as the I mentioned earlier. The whole point of this is that both these objects could do significant damage to someone traveling at high speed. Be safe!
I would think the Sheriff or Coast Guard would tie a rope on that log and drag it ashore.. I have seen one, several times, about 1/2 way between the end of the pier and 109. Might be the same one ??? I use to pull them ashore with a 5 hp Jphnson.. Would locate them and put a stick with flag on them.. That was 60 years ago.. People just seem to think the open water is safe.. Not always so...
Was out with son a few days ago. He was getting the eyes slow rolling a med. spinner bait in 12 to 16 ft water. Fish seem to be everywhere.. I stuck with my harness with small Colorado, blade (2) in silver with red beads.. Old reliable, knocking them dead.. Some days a lot of shorts, other days all 18 and up..
Be careful..

just got back from gander mountian. they now get 0 percent of my buisiness !!! the bait shop is now closed. they have a bait fridge up by the registers. when it's empty, that's it. I wonder witch brainiack made that descision ???. it's probably because they can't order them in from china. later...
-
Went out this am fished 6am -10am....18 eyes-13 (15"-17") 5 (14 1/2"),19 jumbo whites and 1 hog yellow. 32 ft of water trolling bottom bouncers and copper willow leaf dixies. Lot of floating weeds in spots. Good luck to all fishing this week. 8)

just go to mickeys for all tackle and bait. i go to gander if i need clothes or a new rod or something
-
yup, the wife and i teamed up 7 years ago to try out walleye fishing on oneida lake, the first year she couldn't get nack for seting the hook on them, pulling the jig with twister tail away from them instead of letting them inhale the worm and hook, can't remmember how many twister tails got bit off that year alot. of coarse i caught most of mine and that made it even worse, I didn't think she would stick with but she did and learned how to let the walleye inhale the jig and twister tail worm and after that she was a profesional, took over being captain of the ship, i'm the mate now LOL but it was all in fun, the competition is stiff now i'm barely keeping up. Can't think of a better fishing partner, doesn't get any better than this. what a riot.

I couldnt wait for gander to get in this area, I purchased 4 rifles and tons of fishing gear from them, now I cant stand going there, its almost like they could care less about there customers, there also more expensive then every place around. hopefully the bass pro they are considering in the inner harbor area will fly .
-
I went to Gander a few weeks ago and one of the guys explained to me that they sold out of buck tails in May and wouldn't be getting any more in until next year. When I asked why he said because thats what happened last year.
-
Chanel 9 just said a body was recovered in the water near castaways that's all they know at this time.
-
just got back. the mrs. got 1 sheephead, and 3 huge sunnies. I got "0". the wind is pretty stiff out there. we were fishing by lofty's shoal. straight north of the shoal about 150 yards there is another shoal sticking up. 2.2fow on top of it, and it is'nt marked.
I do all the building maint. at castaway's. going to take a ride over there,to see what i can find out. i will post when i return. later...
-
back from castaway's. they aren't releasing any info at this time. sully...

maybe Cabelas ;D but i love bass pro , the best staff i have encountered , if they don't know they find someone that does , super helpfull , 2 years ago mrs fillet had an operation missed the sale but saved the flyer date by over 2 weeks talked to the manager and gave me the sale prices for the things i wanted , can't beat that
-
Bass Pro has Military Discount 365 days a year... :flag: :flag:
-
I couldn't agree more , the staff at Gander is both rude and arrogant >:(
-
If you don't like the staff a gander there is always buying the items online although their site is a little difficult to navigate on the plus side its free shipping to your house.... however it would be nice to get a cabelas somewhere in NY, on a different note might be heading to the Oneida at the end of the month for some trolling glad to see you guys are killin em usually make the trip up at least once in the winter but didn't this year due to the warm winter... hope you keep slayin em!
-
you know it's to bad cause they do have personnel that dose know about fishing, the hammer far as i know still works there and is the most knowable person there i know and a great fishermen

He is , however I don't think he works the floor anymore .

I believe he is trying to open his own bait shop on lakeshore rd. I worked with Brian (BHAMMER)at new venture gear.

Went out this evening with Snagger and his neighbor bob. We bumped into KP and Junior out there too! Started off right on the fish with nonstop action on the smallmouth, walleyes, sunnys, rockbass, and perch. Took the 3 of us an hour to limit on eyes. About an hour before sunset the wind died down and we were surrounded by about 6 boats. We didnt catch another fish while all the boats were around us and we didnt see them boat any either. As soon as they left the bite turned right back on! :w00t: We lit right back into the eyes for an after dark BONANZA! The final tally on the waldos was 28 keepers between the 3 of us. Nice night out there tonight with an awesome sunset!
-
That was strange how the bite died while those boats were there, could of just been the wind dieing.. I heard the net come out twice......The no moon sure does have the at dark bite "On Fire"..... That was really fun man ..... new personal best for anchored shallow....... ;D I'm sure I'll find empty bellies, because I always do 90% of the time every year, but tonights eyes were very healthy, some looked like footballs...
-
it would be nice to see them swell up their bellies , good job fellas
-
Going to try to head out to oneida for the first time on THursday after work...sounds like fish are scattered....going to be at the state launch in Bridgeport at 4-5 pm and fish til dark...
What would be the recommended starting depth?
Thanks for any pointers!
Keep whackin 'em! ;D
-
Seems that any depth is productive right now. Go back a few pages and check out some of the posts. The guys on here usually post how deep theyre getting them. As far as the body that was found floating in the river... It was a guy named Mike Thompson. The police said that he was last seen around 3am on sat morn. He was screaming loudly and tried to enter a number of residences in the area that night and acting very weird. Police think that bath salts may have been involved in his death. No good.
-
We nailed one waldo on the first drop, then went dead after that! We didn't stay long, my buddies little guy was hungry! ;) Great seeing the 3 AMIGOS again!! ;D Doing it again Friday night!! Hope to see you GOONS down there!!--KP 8)

Was good to see you and jr out there too! Dont think im gonna be down there friday, giong camping in the adks

Hey guys, general question- when using bottom bouncer and harness, how much leader between the bouncer and blades is normal? I run about three feet but am not sure that is right.
-
Three, four even 5 ft.. Depends upon the length of your rod too.. If you are using a 6 ft rod and a 5 ft. leader it sometimes makes it tough steering them to the net.
-

well if your catching fish then it is fine if not make it a little longer , i run 4 ft sometimes 5' just make sure it is touching once in a while ,doesn't have to be a constant bottom drag, but I'm sure there are guys that do it a little different , and go slow to start lets say .8 mph but with bigger blades you can touch 1.5 or so the eyes will let you know what they want , good luck , hope this helps and made sure your worm is not wind milling ,if it is let me know ,swimming like a snake its right on ,

went out for bass for the first time this year instead of walleye it was gorgeous out. went everywhere in between maple bay and damons point. Was catching smallies dropshotting out near the shoal and in 10 feet of water but I really want to find a place to flip and pitch for largemouth. didnt see anything all the way through fisher bay shoreline. it was really shallow,too shallow. Didnt catch a thing inside the main bouy line in anything less than 10 feet. Everything I read from the bassmasters they caught lots of largemouth in 1-2 feet of water but im not sure where they couldve been.ish monroe was using a frog in 1-2 feet of water to win last year. Big bay is my only guess. Ill have to keep searching for shallow water bass fishing,if anybody has anywhere to start lemme know. All I can think of is big bay but the last time I went down there it was covered in weeds. We caught a nice bonus walleye after we gave up shallow and went back out to the shoal and a few more bass. Gorgeous night, first time in 2 years I fished for a whole night without going for eyes and it showed. I was pretty pathetic with the bass

Hit Oneida Lake again shallow tonight with deadeyes, walleye bite slowed with not much wind, I boated 7 keepers bobby did his limit, we however did really well on smallmouth and big sunnies, and a few nice perch..... seems if one species is missing the others come in to fill the void.... Fished 620-10pm again.Taking a break tomorrow, then headed deep to change things up unless a good blow comes and turns it back on shallow....lots of terns diving on perch hatchlings... walleyes slurping on bugs at dark.

Fished last night from 7-10:30. We each got a limit of eyes and put 4 sm bass and half a dozen sunnies in the live well. Sunnies, 1 sheephead and 1 of the bass came on a worm hanging over the side of the boat. Even caught one of the eyes that way. Can't remember the last time or if I ever got one like that. The rest came on bucktails. Great night out to relieve some stress.

Hey guys, general question- when using bottom bouncer and harness, how much leader between the bouncer and blades is normal? I run about three feet but am not sure that is right.
I use about 18 inches ( the actual size of my harness).....I also tie a snap swivel on the mainline to the bottom bouncer.....then instead of the loop knot in the harness...I tie on a swivel....and that is attached to the snap swivel on my bottom bouncer. I like everything free moving or spinning. I troll with this set up if there is no wind or drift with the wind. Its a pretty simple basic set up and it has worked very very well for me....especially the past 3 weeks or so with the walleyes. They seem to be hot for dixies this time of year. Another thing I do is run the mainline through a bullet sinker and tie a snapswivel on......then attach your dixie(with a swivel). Cut off second hook (less weed issues)and use enough worm to cover the hook and maybe about an inch or less dangling. This is my tactic for casting dixies in the weeds....works very well. I have been very successful with both. Hopes this helps ya and again....this is just the way I like it. Good luck!! 8)

just got the Mrs out of the hospital yesterday , so i sneaked out for a while this morning, to see what was up , water was 78.6 when i left , fished 22- 32' and the eyes are still hitting those daytime sonars KP, kept my limit and gave them to a gal going for a walk around the launch or i was going to toss them back , its been good fishing since the opener , when are they going to fatten up and make us really work for them ?, did see lots of bait on the surface with nothing after them , some were about a 1/2" , and there were schools that were about 1 1/2-maybe 2"
-
78.6 is what I had yesterday. Glad to hear the mrs is a little better now.

Looks like a male and femaile pumkinseed (female on the right).

Yep, both pumpkinseeds. Prob male/female or they will vary in coloration just like other species...
Sightfishing for sunnys n gills is prob my favorite type of icefishing.

Monster sheep is right, WOW! :o Wad caught 3 of them in a row yesterday but not that big. We managed a limit on the eyes but the bite was slow at first. The wind picked up a gave us a good drift and the waldos cooperated. Gold Harness with a bouncer was the ticket and got one on a purple buck tail with a leech. Cheeks out!!! 8)

Some really neat stuff comming out of the big tradeshow called ICAST...
One that has me excited is the new Rapala X-Rap Countdown. The original x-rap is one of my favorite baits for casting for eyes. This bait will have a place for me when a little more depth is needed...

I did make the 80 mile trip on Tues. -- Son came with me, slow Tues. afternoon, found a spot on Shackleton shoal that gave us two nice "eyes" and a couple of perch, after a night at "Days Inn" hit the same spot yesterday AM. Same spot and very successful, limited out by 10:30 with some big sunnies and one sheepie. Now these "eyes" were some of the best that I have boated on Oneida !! 17 to 22.5, most over 18. All these were in great shape and with a good girth. Son, had a ball, he just retired after 27 years as a deputy sheriff and now has some time. A great trip to one of NY's finest bodies of water. Have a great summer anglers !! Retired ECO

just got back from my first open water trip to oneida with the wife. We just bought the boat and followed the previous owners gps waypoints and got 3 walleye and a pumpkinseed trolling harnesses.

Great job! Hoping to head out tonight for the night bite.
Stupid question of the day; why do most of the sun fish look like they need some Preparation-H? :-X Are these femails that are laying eggs? ???
-
fished last night from 6- 8:30 for the first trip to oneida
me and a buddy managed 2) 18"s out in 28 ft of water caught at the same time..
one was on a dropshot craw;er , the other was on a spinner off a bottom bouncer
fished around dutchmans island and shackleton point anywhere from 12- 36' trying bucktails , sonars , and spinners,
had a reason to bust out the filet knife so all is good! ;D
-
Thanks alot guys! The boy is a natural! He loves to fish, especially for waldos ;) I have a blast taking him fishin- Good stuff! :thumbup_smilie:

Snagger, empty your box homie

nice limit cheeks...great report ecolt , deadeyes and everyone.
Drove out to deeper water last night, due north wind created a cross drift on the northshore bars so dropped anchor in 37 feet, first cast with a sonar ... keeper eye, next cast big drum, third cast a short eye...did one fast drift, but couldn't stay where I wanted to fish, so packed up and moved on....went checking weed holes looking for perch, spent about 2 hrs doing that and only caught some nice smallmouth and 1 keeper eye, I know there around somewhere, I eventually find them...just before dark picked up my third keeper eye and a couple sunnies on purple jigs. water temp was 81.4 degrees...fished 645-945pm to beat the heat...

Nice photos dead eyes. Your kid looks just like you man.
I bass fished Wednesday. First time I put a whole day on the lake since March. Felt nice to be out there. I had a great time with a good friend. We found the bass stacked up feeding on perch fry and had a blast with them. Also picked up a limit of eyes pitching weeds with soft plastics and some nice perch on swim baits. I switched my flipping rod to braid, wow what a difference, broke off my first 2 fish before I realized to back way off on the hook sets. Action was slow on the most of the south shore so we had to go looking elsewhere, seemed like all the bait I found was mid lake or north shore. My usual south shore stuff was pretty dead.

Fished in the canoe this evening from 7:30-9:30. It was dead calm at first, but the breeze picked up quite a bit right before sunset. I ended up with 5 big sunnys, a bluegill, and a big cat. No walleye action tho :'( All in all it was a good evening.
-
Went out tonight after work. It was dead calm flat and scorching hot. Started out slow with only one eye and a sheepie in the first hour. Plenty of fish on the screen, but they weren't in the mood. I decided to check out a small hump and found that it was stacked with hungry fish. Ended up pulling 16 more eyes from it. :o
Awesome night. The fish always seem to disperse at dark. Where the heck do they go???........LoL
Only got one on a sonar. The rest came on the bucktail.
I haven't been on here in a while. Took a while to read through the posts. Freakin' nice sheepie Deadeyez!!

there is a big bass tourney today. ther was over 100 of them staged out in front of my house this morning. fishermen beware of the bass boys running you over at 70 plus !!!
I was at castaways this morning working. I watched in amazement a bass boy was fishing by the bridge access on the north side of the river,and there was a guy fishing under the bridge. the bass boy crossed the guys line 3 times in 5 casts. the thrid time the bass boy ripped, and broke the guys line, and he almost lost his pole !! the guy that was fishing had a few nice things to say, or yell at them, and then he called the dec, and made a complaint. hopefully they do something with these idiots !!! just goes to show. "you can take the boy out of the city","but you can't take the city out of the boy, and you can't fix stupid !!! later...

the bass boys are giving themselves a black eye and dont even know it. sadly a few idiots ruin it for the rest of them, i use to give a little extra courtesy to them because they are in a contest, now its just the opposite, if i can *!!% them some how ,i will.

I watched a couple "big-shots" come gliding into the marina the other day as I was getting ready to go out. They were pitching jigs around all the boats. I kept my sonar rod right next to me, waiting to hear that jig bounce off a boat ... any boat. I woulda bounced one off theirs for sure. Then they pulled up to one of the docks and tied off to a light pole and started walking the docks and pitching jigs. They seemed like they were being careful, but I don't know what the Marina's policy is on that. Makes me nervous. Hate to have 'em stick a lure in my new cover.

SNAGGER - Remember the guy that was looking for his dog on the ice that one night last winter? I see he is anchoring in your night spot. That guy does not miss a thing.

had fun today i was starting to get a little antsy marked tons of fish but there were clouds of bait , tuff to compete against mother nature , moved a few times finally after awhile now being almost 9:00 found some fish without hardly any bait and the coach was on , poor FM had a hard time getting solid hook ups , i caught a few bass one off top water in 30 fow was a good 4 lb smallie and busted some off bottom and 1 small sheep , and a few eyes , coach caught dandy yellow perch , all fish came on the day time sonar
-
Spanky's a turtle, not a whale. ;D
They weren't there the last time I was down Bruce, 82 degree water I think was finally too much for them, I found them a little farther out closer to some weed humps.

Sounds like another rescue going on right now on oneida. Scanner went off at 9:29 with flairs spotted out at bouy 125. Call just came back saying that the boat is being towed in by another boat.

I hear ya man! They used to come in by my folks dock and cast under the dock and boats. I hated it so I put my 3D archery target right on the shoreline and started flingin arrows at it when they started heading in to start working the shoreline. ;D They dont come in so close anymore. ;)

I saw them it was weird because two other boats were already right next to them when they shot the flare...it was strange...it was more between 119 and 121 and North though...saw the rescue boat come out and then turn around and go right back in...we did not do very good fishing either...long rough day on two different lakes...
-
Got out this evening with the woman and a good friend of mine we tried a few different spots before we found the hungry ones then it was game on, we had our limits in the deadwell in a short time then caught about 15-20 more before it got dark... all in all we got 9 waldos 7 smallies 12 big sunfish and a few jumbo
yellows , great sunset hotter then well ya know and dead flat most the nite no drift ;)
-
Good going CK315...We struggled last night...couldn't get them to bite...back to normal for me and walleyes the honeymoon is over... ;D Caught one Jumbo Perch and One One short Eye...thats why it's called fishing...it was beautiful out there though...just turned on some music and relaxed...
-
I saw the flares go off too southwest of 119... rescue boat took off out of cleveland.
I fished deep from 645pm til just before sunset, hit 3 spots with sonars, could not get a walleye too bite, marked plenty....then hit a shallow spot, my buddy got 2 keepers and I dumped 5, ended up with my first zero of the season, about time Oneida got tougher again. It was flat and really hot out, but can't blame it on that, there was a descent drift from left over currents keeping us moving pretty nice, I just sucked.
Water temp was 85.4-86 degrees.
Rob took a picture for you last night deadeyes.

Snuck out this afternoon for a couple of hours. I trolled for the first hour and missed a couple. Then I marked a pod of eyes on bottom and shutdown and jigged over them. I started with a bucktail straight down. They would slash at it and miss. I had a couple of hits that I missed. Then I dropped a sonar down. I finally picked up one keeper before the rain hit. It was fun anyway, like ice fishing watching them follow the jig. They would come up 10' easy.
-
I read alot about jigging sonars and was wondering what are good colors to get and where you can buy them. Ive looked at gander mtn in new hartford but they are almost sold out and i couldnt find them at herb phillipsons. Im just looking for something different than trolling harnesses all day.
-
hey coach thank god i had an extra daytime sonar :blink:
That's why I usually tie for Coach. lol Once I see them glasses go on his head, I normally step in and offer my slightly better close vision. Now that I think about it.... Karma was most likely the reason for my lack of success, not helping coach make ties, and tallking smack to the bass guys driving over fish to find them.....not to mention the encroachers. Filet was on his best behavior, good thing release didn't show up. ;D I also learned just how efficient Filet likes to be at the launch, that man has it down to a science. :bowdown:
What stinks is, my first trip on the F&R hot ride, and I could not get into a rhythm. . ???

I didn't "fall" out of the boat, I made my promise true to ya's that if Spanky gets spanked, then I would get in my skivvy's and become "one with the fish". ;D I am a man of my words. Thanks for the help getting my big butt back in Filet.....notice Coach was all about letting me drown so he would have more space to move around on the bow of your boat? ??? I'm loading up a couple pics to share also, none of me in my undershorts though. :P I know thats gonna upset so many of my pals.

Fished this past weekend with a buddy of mine and our 2 youngest boys. We fished both Billington Bay and Shackelton in a variety of depths. We fished Friday night from 7:30-9:30 and only ended up with one walleye. Saturday morning we fished from 7:00-11:00 and ended up with 9 walleye and a few other bass, drum, gills and shorts mixed in. Decided to pass on the Sat evening bite as the lake was pretty flat, and it was stupid hot out. Sunday we fished from 7:00-9:30 and got 3 walleye and several nice gills. We were only going to fish another hour or so on Sunday, but the doppler showed a decent amount of rain close by, so we packed it in, and glad we did!
As i said fish were caught in a variety of depths (12-30 fow) with a fairly even split between bucktails and sonars. Perch Halo was on fire Saturday mornign and my arms feel it today. Starting to take notice that i'm not catching many on sonars in shallow water. And i've started fishing consistently with stinger hooks on the bucktails, and at one point we were 8 for 10 on the stinger versus the jig. Catch rate has skyrocketed since making that change. Also experminted with Gulp nighwalkers, but didn't have much success (i think only one walleye on that), so thats still a work in progress.
It was a nice weekend, and the kids were kept busy! Today (at work) is not nearly as much fun! :-\
-
I read alot about jigging sonars and was wondering what are good colors to get and where you can buy them. Ive looked at gander mtn in new hartford but they are almost sold out and i couldnt find them at herb phillipsons. Im just looking for something different than trolling harnesses all day.
[I have bought a number of different color sonars at Marion Manor on the corner of 13&31. As for colors I would start with perch. /quote]

Marion Manor has the best selection that I've found in the area (Syracuse to Utica). I mix it up a lot until I find a color that they like. Some days it's darker colors and brighter on others. I even have a couple "Experimental" colors I made myself that seem to pull in fish. 8)

What about night time - vs - daytime sonars ??? :w00t:

Since I put my boat in, its always great when I get out there, around 6pm ..... it stays good for a bit then slows and continues to slow as sunset approaches, some nights you get that right at dark 20 minutes of great action, but not every night, daytime is definetly much easier and where its at, after dark, just like ice.... it dies....thats been my trend for the last 6-7 weeks..

ask FM whats easier , that 6:00 pm bite is good , but when it starts to slow just add a little peanut butter on that cracker , that should do the trick , my friend :w00t:

Fished last nite from 6:30-10 with Snagger and his buddy Bob. I ended up catching 3 keepers and 1 short on the eyes. We all smashed the sunnys with a couple nice bluegills mixed in and some smallies, rockys, and drum. Bobster put the hammer down on me and snag with the wallys! Was like he was on a mission or something! ;) Good stuff!

That stuff happens Dead, I've come to realize that some days everything clicks perfectly, and others I wonder why I even put a rod in my hands. Always good to just get out no matter what, and try not to get frustrated, thats why I got in my skivies the other day and did a back flip in the lake, got my mind off my lack of success, and cooled off at the same time. ;D

Man did I screw up yesterday! :-[ We went out on the tooner after work, and in a hurry I grabbed the wrong box! There I was sitting in the middle of the lake with a box full of night time sonars at 6 pm! :'( Nothing I could do but sit and wait. Once the sun went down, it was on! :D

Do you guys know of any primitive camping spots that are fairly close to the lake? I am coming up for the weekend and the oldtimers that are coming do not want to go to the state camp ground. Any info would be great .

Oneida Shores County Park, but I wouldn't call it primative.

There are quite a few along Fish Creek, but these are places where people keep their campers all year round (lots of people and kids). There's some state land off of Cove Road (Rt 13 North to Oneida Street to Cove Road, turn west before the bridge over the canal) in Sylvan Beach. You can drive up to where Fish Creek hits the Barge Canal and I see people camp there all the time.

wow.. spent 6 hours on the lake.. didnt get my limit... ***censored**** is wrong with me?
-
what was the water temp , in what depth of water , well bull head just maybe you just weren't on a feeding school , or maybe they are starting to feed up which would now make them a little harder to catch , , we all have good days and bad ones

Hit the lake this evening for the first time since monday. Went out in the canoe with lil deadeyez and fished from 7:30-10:00. First hour was non-stop action with the panfish. We ended up catching 10 BIG sunnys and 2 nice bluegills with my boy catching 90 percent of them! Then we watched a killer sunset and tied on some stickbaits. As soon as it got dark out we slid into the shallows and it was on! We landed 3 keepers in 15 minutes and lost two at the boat that we would have had if dad didnt leave net on shore. ::) Also missed at least 4 others. All walleye action was in a span of 30 min and all wallys caught outta 2-3 fow. Heres bobby with 3 nice ones. FISH ON!

Went out for a few hours til dark yesterday. All I can say is "Holy Bait Batman!!". Incredible amount of bait at all of our stops. Stopped and fished by a flock of about 50 gulls sitting on the water. I found out quickly why they were there. Unbelievable school of tiny shad dimpling the surface all around them. The gulls were parked right on top of them and they had a hard time to get up off the water when I spooked them. I guess they ate all they could.
Had fun throwing a chartreuse Rapala skitter pop to some bass boiling the surface in 25 fow.
Water's warm .... air is even warmer ... tons of bait ... no wind ... Didn't get skunked on eyes yet, but I think the time is coming. I think Deadeyes has the right idea. Fish at night in the cooler temps, and less light for the eyes to study what they are chasing.
I think it's time to rely on reaction bites. The eyes have all the food they need, unless you can cover some serious ground, looking for biters, by doing some trolling.
-
nice fish Freddie and coach. i would like to get out and try the trolling thing out sometime ;)

HEY GUYS, JUST STARTED FISHING WITH SONARS THIS YEAR. IVE BEEN USING A VARIETY OF COLORS AND SIZES, BUT I HEAR EVERYONE TALKING ABOUT DAY AND NITE SONARS. WHATS UP WITH THAT? IS IT THE COLOR OR A DIFFERENT STYLE. JUST THOUGHT I WOULD ASK. BTW, THEY ARE A GREAT BAIT TO GO WITH JIGS. I HAVE CAUGHT MORE FISH WHEN THEY HAVE STOPPED BITING ON ONE AND THEN SWITCH TO THE OTHER...
-
I am going to defer that question to someone more professional like Filet or Release ;) ;D

OK COACH THANKS, BUT THEY MAY NOT WANT TO SHARE...... ID ASK SULLY CUZ HE IS A NEIGHBOR OF MINE, BUT I KNOW HE WOULD NOT TELL ME THE TRUTH . lol

well sad to hear that the bite is slowing down... heading up for some eyes for my first open water trip (mostly fish the ice eyes) from the 24th to the 27th guess we are going to have to work for em this trip :'(. Should be a fun trip since we are not only targeting the eyes (although they are the main target). Will report back on here with how we make out either each day or when I get back. Not sure if I want to bring the laptop up or not. But for those of you heading out the next few days best of luck and tight lines

i was out yesterday , launched out of godfrey , fished both north and south shore it seems to be just starting from what i could see

Went out with my boy again tonight in the canoe from 7-9:30. Started out in 8 fow and hammered the panfish. We ended up with 14 big sunnys and 6 bluegills. One of the bluegills lil deadeyez caught was the size of the big sunnys!! It was the biggest gill I have ever seen landed! Pretty neat considering that we usually never catch bluegills in this spot. At dark we went in shallower and tried for the walleyes. With the wind we had a hard time staying where we wanted to fish so ended up getting skunked on the wallys. Another beautiful sunset this evening with an awesome lightning show across the lake!
-
hey bob get a pic of that gill it must be a honey . they make great fish dinners , got a couple of sprinkles here but only kicked up dust when the drops hit

Got out saturday late afternoon out of Fisher Bay. Not much action early. Lake pretty green with algae and lots of floating weeds. Bait fish all over the place being chased by I would assume bass and sea gulls. Caught one nice perch during the afternoon real dark in color. No eyes until just before dark then hit two - one 17 and a real nice fat 19 1/2. Pulling harnesses the whole time. Great evening to be on the lake with a beautiful sunset over the island. Ate the perch and one eye last night, perch not as good as in the winter but the eye was excellent.
-
Freddie, all the pics of that gill came out blurry! I will post them later though. Your right, they are yummy! ;D

Good job Dead eyez...panfish are made for kids. I have been getting some gills mixed in with the sunnies too in areas I have never caught them before. The sunnies have been day savers for me, if action is slow I just anchor up and pound on the sunnies for a while, lots of fun on a light rod. I fished Friday in that big east wind, I kept 21 sunnies and 2 walleye after bass fishing in the morning and fighting that wind I anchored up for a while. The lake laid down nice just before I had to leave around 3:00.

The fishing has slowed down and this thread has picked up! This place is a hoot! Y'all should sell tickets to fund the OLLC! Great job on the big sunnies Jr, must have caught that one during the earth quake. Looking forward to hitting the water, but this time of the year we spend a lot of time up in the Adirondacks trying to escape the heat and the algae. :P

that was a spectacular light show last night !!! it was non stop for a while. later...

Try going out at midnight and troll with deep divers 15fow. We've been catching are limits.
Just as easy as fall. Fire tiger wallydivers 2:30 to 4:30 is best good luck

We had a few storms pass over Oneida, but for some reason they looked like they stalled over the Sherrill - Vernon Center area. I counted 20 lightning strikes south east of us within a minute!

yes it will, but does he have any wally divers , if not tell him i can rent him some , ;D
and far as bait goes i have seen bait thick as 6ft and 200yards long and those were perch fry , and now the eyes will get fattened up very fast , but the bite will get a little tougher unless your lucky enough to catch them on the feed ,or separated from their food source , just an ol buzzards oppion , all good things must come to an end but this go around lasted much longer than i expected

I first met Rick when him and Russ opened the shop down here. I remember he bought all the ice stuff from Hippy. Back then he ran Pineville too if I remember right. That had to be late 80s when they bought APP's? I really was a kid ;D
I used to work the shop a lot in the mid 90s. His parents would come out and spend the summers here in the place on the marina. Really nice people.

Sorry to hear about Rick's mom. Only there a couple of times but knew right away are good folks.

Yes we did... Stuffed blue crab mussels in some sauce venison stew sushi popcorn shrimp talapia and maple salmon (2 people) then we get to the launch get out just past dutchmans island and a pop from the engine and then motor shuts off... Cant find nothing wrong so we start her up she idles for about 3 seconds and shuts off... Boy should I reccommend that trolling motor... Get her on the trailer take a more in depth look and notice a chuck or metal like material pull it out hmm that don't seem right... Go to take the fly wheel thing off no sprocket the right side so checking under it and oh look at that there's our problem one of the coils is loose as a goose and the piece is broken... So no kickin eye butt tonight looks like a early trip home maybe go to the casino and win some money who knows ahhhhh this suckssssss

What a tough bunch of guys you's are on here..... What ever happened to sharing fishing info? A few people ask what the difference is between daytime and night time sonars are, and all they get is a run a round. Well I'll share a pick of a few of mine. Gotta admit though, I still can't figure out all the differences between them. ???

You're missing some of the good ones! If you're ever on the east shore, stop into Marion Manor. I think they have just about every color made.

I am headed down Sunday morning with an older guy who hasn't caught a walleye since he was a kid. How is the bite? Has the sonar bite slowed? Bucktails? Thanks in advance for any tips
-
is Oneida far from Schenectady? I may be there September 8th for a grappling tournament and was wondering if it would be worth bringing some gear to fish afterwards? How is the fishing from shore generally that time of yr?

Probably a couple hours from Schenectady, you can take the Thruway most of the way though. September 8th is a little early for a good shore bite, usually it's about another month, but it's related to water temp, usually when water gets into the 50's the shore bite gets going. There is some decent fishing below some of the locks in Schenectady, might be worth a try.

My experience has been the earlier the better, and bring your jigging rod and your sonar rod. Use electronics to find the fish and have one toss a buck tail and worm and the other toss a sonar. If there hungry, you'll find out what they like more real quick.

I trolled cranks and spoons in 32'-40' and down 20'-30'. I ended up catching 5 nice keepers and quit at 7:30. Beautiful morning out there.

When I am trolling alone I normally run a couple of inline boards with big crank baits at different depths. Then I run 1 leadcore down the chute with either a spoon or stickbait. I watch the screen and see where I mark most of the fish and adjust my depths accordingly.
The boat is a keeper. :thumbup_smilie:

Headed out fri nite. Fished 7 fow and ended up with half dozen sunnys and one 20" eye.
-
nice ;D

My daytime harness was not so productive on Sat. morning. :'( 3 big gills and a giant perch that I snagged in the belly in 28 FOW. Didn't see anyone doing much. Got a wet arse when the rain storm came across. Might be out this afternoon till dark. Not sure yet. Cheeks out!!! 8)

Spent some time snorklin' Oneida yesterday until the wind came up. Pretty cool trip, obviously the visability is nothing like Skaneateles but the fish are much bigger. Got a few medium perch, a sunny, 3 smallies to 3 lbs or so and a couple sheepies. The croaking sound a sheephead makes is so magnified under water it was amazing...even to this deaf old guy! I was by myself so no pics...I should get un underwater camera. I was in 10 fow most of the time & the fish in Oneida, like most places, let you come right up to them. I didn't see any Pikeral or 'eyes where I was...hope to cover different water until I locate some eyes...thats my goal for August!

Pretty cool Tom, must be neat to hear those drum underwater ..... hope you have a great August bro.. I took 2 weeks off from fishing Oneida and sure enough my tendon is healing even with hard work outs around here, it was the jigging causing the damage, I'm pulling my boat and calling it a year, time to get ready for salmon anyways......
Nice job reeleyes and crew!!!!!

well Shane silly season is almost here , ::)

Sounds like fun HW.

Well my luck with Sonars I am starting to think that they would work really well getting the Salmon to "bite" in the river...like two lead fly's in one... :o ;D I haven't been fishing in a couple weeks...I need to get out SOON!

Please pass on to tournament participants to exercise a little courtesy while on Oneida this weekend. Show a little respect to folks and you will receive the same! We know bass boats go fast, we don't need to see it up close and personal.

No offense but aren't tournaments about finding and catching fish using your own skills. My advice is to practice.

X2, the next one that buzzes me is going to find it is hard to fish with some one doing circles around them ,a little courtesy would be nice , they aren't the only ones in the universe, but some of them seem to think so

in yesterdays observer dispatch newspaper there was an announcement that a canoe washed up on the shore of the lake and it was turned over to state police I believe they were looking for the owners to return it. Im not sure but I thought not to long ago someone said they lost their canoe, if you know who it is let them know

I love chasing down those rockets in my 3hp evinrude. When I get really mad, I kick in the 40 thrust electric troller as a supercharger. ;D
-
I learned a new trick after watching whale war, it is guaranteed to slow those bass boats down. It is called prop fouling
-
It's a very far drive for me bud about 4 hours or I would be practicing no need to be offensive. It's not the bass boats you should complaining about its the pleasure boaters, tubers, and especially jet skis. Bass fisherman hardly move only from spot to spot. The majority of our time is on the trolling motor. I've seen plenty of guys trolling who are just as inconsiderate as some of your hated bass guys...

well lets see I've had no trouble this year with pleasure boats or jet ski's but have had a few
incidents with the bass boats this year on Oneida Lake, first of all 30' of water is not on shore at 50 mph at 35' i think is a little close , almost ran my boards over , not saying some trollers aren't a little rude to other trollers , or eye jiggers , for that matter i let them know to , so i guess they need to run that close to people when there isn't anybody within a mile of ya ? i don't think giving a guy a little room is to much to ask , do you ?
-
The pleasure people are an issue sometimes, but most, not all, but most bass boat guys go wide open from spot to spot. Nothing worse then being on a good drift an having one of these nimrods go by you at 70 and the whole time you are wondering if he even knew you were there. They don't seem to have much consideration for anyone else either on the water or at the launch for that matter. Get your boat out of the way after you launch people! I can't tell you how many times I've gone to launch only to find a bass boat tied off in the way and watched the owner either BS ing in the parking lot or sitting in it taking some time to rig things up before starting up and making the jump to light speed. ??? :cursing: Rant over... Cheeks out!!! 8)

Yeah I have had those guys in the bass boats roll up on me in the weed bed while i'm perch fishing. Then after they don't catch anything they ask me what i'm catching, I say perch and sunfish. Then they crank it up and take off like a bat out of hell like I peed in their cheerios or something lol.

Try..... "Well, I'm after perch...but these d**n 5lb smallmouths take so long to get in on light tackle that I'll never get any of the good fish." :-*

No matter what it seems I can't escape the fools. I was looking forward to a nice relaxing time on the St. Lawrence last week with minimal bass boat interference other than local bass fisherman and Guess What? They hold the annual NYS B.A.S.S INVITATIONAL the first weekend I am there. 100's of bass boats, the most I have ever seen actually. I could have puked. :sick: Thankfully they cleared out for the most part Sunday. Just so you know they acted the same way on the St. Lawrence as they do on Oneida. Must be they put NYS in front of their name to signify that they own all waters of the state of New York. ::)
Later,

Not trying be offensive, I just think people in tournaments should find their own fish, that's what it is supposed to be about. Anybody can get a spot from someone and go there and catch fish, then your not really competing in my mind. People that fish in other people's spots are fish catchers not fishermen...just my opinion. If your too far away to pre-fish and can't compete then don't fish the tournament. I don't really have a problem with bass trounaments in general but they have got a little out of hand on Oneida since the Elite guys starting comming here.

Perhaps when jigging eyes, or trolling we could borrow a technique from our Southern Brethren who fly fish the flats & are also annoyed by jetskis or those zipping by a little to close.

NICE :rotflol: hey think a 5 oz sonar could do that ? to a weed chooper

This thread has taken a turn for the AWESOME lately!!!
(I'm cool with bass tourney guys, except the ones who seem to think they get priority over other anglers simply because "I am in a tournament!". I had a guy tell me I was "in his spot" once and got lippy.)
I still laugh about that.
I don't care HOW MUCH that entry fee was, the spot is mine till I leave ::)
-
the bass boys, and i mean" boys"think they own the road to ??? :cursing:. I;m constantly getting cut off on bartell rd, in front of onieda shores. as long as the boat is hooked to the truck, they think it's ok to pull out in front of you !!! I feel better now. later...

Hi guys, we bought a place on the south shore (a few miles west of Lewis Point) last year and I got the hoist in this year. I can just get the boat on the hoist, if the hoist was a few inches deeper into the bottom it would be great. Getting to the hoist is OK as my boat has a shallow draft (1750 Crestliner Fish Hawk). I was thinking about having a few friends over and digging the bottom out around the hoist or, and here's where I need some help, hiring a good local contractor to do it and maybe apply for the needed permits. Do you know of anyone you would recommend (or do any of you do this type of work?)? Thanks in advance and I look forward to hearing from you and contributing to the forum in the future. Oh, BTW-have been doing well on 'eyes in 10-12 feet of water over weeds with Rapala DT and red eye shad-windy days better of course.

Pauly the lake right now is about 2 feet low take this into consideration , due to the lack of rain , just a thought

Is it rocky bottom or soft?
When I lived in South Florida, we would sink dock pilings using a pump, hose and PVC 'wand'. The substrate was soft enough that forcing water out the PVC wand (like a jet) would basically flush the mud and silt out from around the piling and it would sink into the void on its own.
Doubt it was legal, but it was the Everglades. Guys don't care about 'legality' down there, but your neighbors might :D
I do know that a DEC permit is needed anytime any mechanized equipment makes contact with water.
Not really sure about the laws regarding six or seven fishing/drinking buddies waist-deep with shovels though!
-
Pauly 6777: I can answer that one for you !! You may not do any work below mean high water mark without a DEC permit. It's called the "Article 15 regulation". That includes you or several friends with shovels. Many times DEC is sympathetic with such a problem and will issue a letter to allow a small amount of work. Contact Region 7 DEC and ask the questions. Fines can be stiff !! Retired ECO

That pump trick is great when you have a muddy bottom. It is amazing but like you said, not legal.

Like eco said, you need a permit to do the work you are trying to do. Contact the DEC. It might take a little while but you should be able to get the permit you are looking for.
One thing that I find interesting is that Oneida has not fluctuated much at all this year. The lake level is right at the target level right now.

Yessir, we've been seeing pods of baitfish in all depths of water on the middle north shore up to the west end also.
-
last time i cruzed the south side ssshhh, some of the bait balls were 100 yrds long 5-6' deep no more skinny eyes , unless they are on a diet
-
I caught a real skinny one last week followed by a fat one. Saw quite a bit of bait in the area I was in. Guess some are better fisherfish than others!
-
well we talked to a few old guys and they said the shad have spawned! not sure about this but they r old timers and prolly know, it was just bait pod after bait pod! we didnt fish much, as we were checking out the motors and things! maybe thats why we didnt catch anything! only fished 20 min! O and did i mention my buddy jumped overboard cause he droped a brand new rod and reel overboard! it was priceless! hahahah! wish you guys could of saw it! came up with his hat still on and a rod in one hand and a flip flop in the other ! omg it was great! wanted to share my story, it was so funny!

I also bought a place on the south shore last fall (just west of the SS launch), so this was my first year with a boat lift as well. I've dug out all 4 feet maybe 4-5 inches, and it's still hard to get on/off the lift. I do have another section of dock, but even the addtional 12 feet won't get me much/any depth in my area. I suspect i'll have to do the same thing next year. I guess we could have worse problems... :-) Good luck with your new place. We've been getting the walleye pretty consistently in billington and shackelton as well, although i haven't been up in a couple of weeks.

I wasnt asking for a spot just what end is better this year youre right it wouldnt be fishing if i didnt find my own spots. Oh ya you guys can try and catch me to if I somehow you off but best of luck to you with that I don't think you guys have a deep v that can go 87 mph. :'(

as you can see the bass boat tournament guys have put a VERY bad taste in the mouths of other anglers, they seem to think that everyone is impressed with there 30 ft away fly byes, were not!!! many guys have had it with them, and some of us immature guys(that would be me) are going to start giving them a taste of there own medicine!! I use to get out of the area they were fishing just out of respect for them, NO MORE! if they are fishing around me the old days of being courteous are long gone. so if your hooking them good and see some guy trolling to within 30 ft of you slapping a paddle on the water and with the radio as loud as i can stand it, just thank your fellow bass tournament angler. you can tell your tournament reps how a few in your sport are giving the whole bunch a black eye ,but I emailed them and they dont care. maybe you can bring it up with cusano??? oh and good luck out there ;)
-
best of luck to you with that I don't think you guys have a deep v that can go 87 mph. :'(
Serious question here, and not meant to cause any offense...
Does your bass boat really go 87mph? That seems a bit fast, no? Be honest.

Thank you rangerrick and ecolt14527 for the replies. I'll check in with DEC for the article 15 permit. I forgot about that one and was looking for guidance under article 24 and nation-wide permits from the ACOE. Its quite shallow a ways out so even if I added another 50 feet or so, it wouldnt help.

Going to be hard on you guys the rest of the month. Two or three bass clubs have tournaments every weekend and the Pros will be there for a full week at the end of the month... And not all bass fisherman are rude and inconsiderate..... :P ;D
-
Haven't met a good bass guy yet ON the water, I can tell you what most of them are throwing because that's how close they come buy me at 87 mph (LOL). I just bought a crap load sinkers on ebay and they will be in a bucket in my boat. So fair warning to all bass guys, you better stay at least an arms throw away from a tan / blue Alumacraft with yamaha on it...... I'm done with all of you..... I'm to the point that I know most of them are launching out of Oneida shores and I want to get the make, model and numbers off the boat and call the police and meet me at Oneida Shores to file a fishing harassment charges against them and the club they represent. (which if I remember correctly is a felony is NY now)

i never said they were but we are all sick of the 30-40' fly bye's when we are jigging or deep trolling , i think maybe the directors ought to get a handle on these guys and rein them in a little , X2 cny lee, maybe the sports writer from the post might get an e-mail

I don't blame you Filet or Release which ever posted this for being POed... But I'm just saying there are bad eggs in every dozen and I'm one of the good ones... A couple weeks ago we were fishing for bass and I got 4 walleyes on 4 casts.. There were two old timers who were trolling for eyes and saw me... They went back and forth right next to us, within casting distance before we went over and showed them what we were using and gave them my 4 fish... It was all good.... Oh, and I got a sweet smallie on my fifth cast.... ;D ;D

well that may be because your a darn hippie! Although I bust on hippies most are a good bunch just stink like patchouli. ;D :-*

they aren't all bad, your right there, just seems lately its been getting worse .
-
It's a shame some ruin it for the rest. I wonder what these problem child bass guys would think or feel if the boat in the above pic flew by them north of 100mph at 100' right through the weedbed they were targeting during an event. Plus it's a little ::) ::) loud

Actually a friend of mine out in Minnesota got in some trouble when he got sick of some jet-skiers buzzing his dock... He let a tater fly and hit one of them square in the chest, lucky he didnt kill the guy...

Some observations from several hours spent snorkle-fishing Oneida...
* The lake is LOADED with sheephead from 2-10 fow. They hang out at a 45 degree angle with their mouths on bottom chowing down on zebra mussels, then they cruise around like a cow chewing it's cud, cough, and spit out about a golf ball size bunch of zebra mussel shells and start over again. You can see the piles of zebra shells all over.
* Pickeral don't give two craps about crawfish. You can catch them on a hunk of bedsheet and a hook, but they don't go for crawfish.
* There are not a lot of crawfish in Oneida compared to other waters I've snorkled.
* There are a fair amount of 2- 2.5" perch kicking around.
* The sand pike population seems healthy
* If you anchor your boat long enough in the right spot, fish will pile up under it in the shade...like a dock.
*You can find decent perch in 4 fow...even in bright sun at mid-day...

I wasnt asking for a spot just what end is better this year youre right it wouldnt be fishing if i didnt find my own spots. Oh ya you guys can try and catch me to if I somehow you off but best of luck to you with that I don't think you guys have a deep v that can go 87 mph. :'(
I know a good friend of mine with a deep v Lund pro, hooked up with a Merc. 250 hp. Give ya a run. Atleast to the Walleye spots. Then, nothing else matters in my opinion. ;D

all this talk of the bass guys fly bys has me thinking back to september goose season a few years ago out at taft bay d**n bass boat came right into my decoys and ignored our yells and howling goose calls to get his attention and get out of our hunting ground but the one thing that got his attention was the roar of a 3 inch 12 gauge shell "no it wasnt aimed at him was directed in a safe area" but he got the point and left promptly.

Hey all I was fishing Oneida when the bite was hot and heavy about a month and a half ago. Havent been out since though. Been busy working and stuff. I am thinking about getting back out there but trying my luck with the big gills. I tried one day out there later in the afternoon after I finished up walleye fishin out around frenchmans and stuff. I only managed about five or so. Im not looking for anybodys hotspots or anything just wondering what depth I should be targeting this time of year? Thanks guys

Oneida Lake article in the paper...
You can cull black bass.
You can’t cull walleyes.
Which the Oneida Lake Association thinks is a good thing.
The OLA long has been concerned about the walleye fishery on the lake, especially in light of changing environmental conditions. Ed Mills, who spent 34 years as a fisheries biologist at Cornell University’s Biological Field Station at Shackelton Point and is now president of the OLA, is especially concerned with culling. Culling is the practice of adding a fish to a limit catch of any species – typically held on a stringer or in a live well- and releasing one, typically the smallest, to stay within the limit.
You can do that with bass, for whatever reason; you can’t with walleyes, whether you are fishing for fun or the table or for cash and prizes. A lot of people do it anyway, some because they don’t know the rules, and some because they simply choose to ignore them.
It’s there, on page 13 of the current fishing regulations guide:
“A person may continue to fish for a species while in possession of a daily limit for that species provided all fish of that species subsequently caught are immediately returned to the water. See below for special provisions made for largemouth and smallmouth bass.”
Again, a lot of people have never read that.
“It’s a regulation that most anglers are not conscious of,” Mills said. “You really need to read the rules. It’s just not a good ethic or policy. Putting them on a stringer or a live well for some time, the survival is very low.”
Mills doesn’t have a solid study that says that, but common sense tells him so.
Culling is especially questionable considering the changing conditions on the lake. Mills, who retired in 2009, said surface water temperatures on the lake in mid-summer have increased two to three degrees over the last 20 years, and recently have been in the high 70s and low 80s. That’s way over what walleyes like, and the stress on the fish is significant if they are left in that warm water for any length of time.
As almost everyone knows, Oneida has become a very good bass lake, in part because of increased water clarity caused by zebra mussels. Bass also tolerate high temperatures better than walleyes, and Mills said they also just seem hardier overall. He said walleye populations are not what they were in the 1960s and 1970s, when there sometimes were a million adults in the lake.
This year has been a particular good angling year for walleyes, but Mills said it is not because there are an overwhelming number of adults, as some fishermen think. While there might be good population of emerald shiners in the lake, and shad might be present later, which would make for tougher conditions, there are relatively few young perch, walleyes’ preferred prey, making the big fish vulnerable to angling.
“The angler pressure has reduced over time, but the catch rate has been pretty much the same, which gives a false impression,” Mills said. “The number harvested is down.”
The rules for culling of walleyes and bass are clear, and the OLA wants to make sure that anglers follow them, especially when fishing in tournaments. You can continue to fish after hitting your limit – on Oneida, that’s three walleyes of 15 inches or longer – but additional fish must be immediately returned to the water.
-
well i guess it's all fun till you really have to work for them BOSS , god for weeks you could catch them on a frozen turd , if i go out and don't kick there butt thats ok least i gave it a shot BRO
why do you think I didn't go very much it was so easy cave men where catching them heck even spanky the turtle mustered up a limit or two :w00t: :w00t:
Now its time to work for them I like the challenge of trying to figure out what's gonna make em bite ;)

Good read RD.

me to bro , i think it is fun when the bite is tough just to see if i can out smart them ,
thanks for the read RD, if they are worried about people culling just reinsate an old law that prohibits you from fishing after you have kept your limit , and one i always liked no targeting out of season fish

Real windy out today, dropped the anchor + rope in the lake but I know where it is. First thing in morning i'm going anchor fishing, figures it would go after we got 2 nice perch.
Got another repair done at FM's place today to my volvo, Justin at the shop really impressed the wife with his friendly service skills this morning after she was up all night at work. Great job on the car Lance and it runs like a dream again, and it doesn't want to drive into the ditch when you take your hands off the wheel. Go to see Lance to get your car fixed, no >BS< and it doesn't sit there a week or a month till it gets fixed either.

I made it back out there this morning, first trip in 2 weeks. I took my buddy Eric out for some deep water trolling. We ended up with 3 decent keeper eyes up to 20" and one big sheepie. We missed and lost a few. Not hot and heavy action but we had a good time.

Good going Reel!

I know a fellow member who did just that today........... :cookoo: :afro: ;D I won't mention any names!!! ;D Titelines!--KP 8)
Never thought about it.i,ve always had bunks(and many boats) and always took of chain &wench before backing in without a problem.glad you said something because i recently boughta boat with rollers and have yet tolaunch it.you may have prevented me from beingthe idiot who left a 24' trophyin front ofthe boat launch.would be hard to pick thnat up and moveit.wow that would have sucked
-
Omg........rookie work!!!!! :P
-
but i do know that my boat will float my trailor from not unhooking the aft straps ;D
Must have been Release that was "in your head" that day! :P
-
Got into a few perch and a bunch of jumbo sunfish yesterday, going back out here in a few minutes. I would have done better if I didn't go anchor fishing the first hour or so.
Got a grappling hook today to fool around, I really need that anchor back, my spare is a sailboat anchor and it is heavy as all day.

Always leave hooked up until some of the boat is in the water. I have seen more than one sitting on the launch....hunts2long
-
Must have been Release that was "in your head" that day! :P
just one thing that can happen when trying to rush , not double checking things out before launching ;D
Tim hope you can retreive your anchor , that sucks

Me and a couple buddy's rented a boat for a few hours on the west end yesterday , wound up with a nice pail full of perch and sunnies ;D
I wasn't in a picture takeing mood but did snap one good one ;D

Omg........rookie work!!!!! :P
Sounded like a real GREEN HORN to me!!!! :blink: I LMAO when I returned the missed call!! I gotta admit though guys, he saved it from landing on the launch pad. Just buried it in the water when it rolled off!!! GADAM ROOKIE!!!! ;D--KP 8)

I have an Ez Loader roller trailer for my eighteen and a half foot Lund Alaskan. Always back down the ramp, leave about three feet of exposed ramp behind my truck bumper, slack up and remove the winch strap, then the safety strap and push it off into the lake. Unloading is a breeze, getting it back on that trailer can sometimes be a real challenge especially if there is wind and chop and I am by myself. Hope that boat is okay and his pride is not TOO mortally wounded!!! Talk about a lesson learned the hard way, wow!!!

Just got home from a camping trip with the family and some friends. We stayed on the plateau at wescott beach state park in henderson harbor. No fishing, but a great get away with the wife and our 2 boys. Weather cooperated for the most part and the food we all made was amazing. Friday night we cooked a seafood buffet of clams, shrimp, and lobster with corn on the cobb and a bunch of salads. Last night dinner was tequila chicken, bbq chicken, sirloin steak, ka bobs, bbq ribs, sausage, burgers, and hoffman dogs with about 8 different sides as well! Washed it all down with some crown royal & ginger ale! Life is gooood! :)

YIKESSS i did that many years ago with a 16 ft lowe, kinda lost track of it being a roller trailer , it rolled off half way down the state launch (south shore) hit the bottom of the transom on the concrete and slid into the water :o :o, it leaked a little after that. brought it home and filled the boat up with some water with the plug in it, watched the water run out of the seam on the very back of the boat, filled it with some epoxy and touch up paint, and was good to go. but it was a learning experience, and man i have had many in my lifetime ;D

Heck...I even have it on my office wall......It's my new dartboard!!! ;D Nice pic Bobby!!! ;)--KP 8)

Here is Walter with Saturdays catch, we got a few more on Sunday as well. Got a real nice pile of perch and walleye for him, and I kept those gamey sunfish for dinner tomorrow night. Walter got a walleye in 11 fow on a perch rig with half a worm, I swear the old man has walleye on the brain constantly. If he sees a 2 foot chop on the lake he wants to drift dixies and throw jigs, that is until the live well is full of sunfish and perch. :)

Easy CNY....Theres nothing wrong with constantly having walleye on the brain! Think thats called WALLEYE FEVER!! :wacko: :unsure: :w00t:
Congrats on your catch! :thumbup_smilie:

Apologies in advance to those who only care about walleyes. :-)
I've always wanted to give top water bass fishing a try. I hear there are some good spots. I'm on the south east corner of the lake, any recommendations on where to go? I was going to try the shore/weedlline between Lewis Point and Oneida Lake Marina a try. Seems like there's a lot of vegataion there.
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Don't be scared to focus alot deeper than that , on a calm day look for gulls diving and motor towards them and coast in , lots of times that will be pig smallies on a school of shad ;) Shallow focus on low light situations and Frogs will always get a largie or 2 . Good luck :thumbup_smilie:

Went to Fairhaven wed. to meet up with coach at his camp. Fished little Sodus wed. night and thurs. Found some good gills and whacked a few gobies off the boat. Then brought his boat home, thurs. afternoon and took SS Spanky out on Oneida for some evening fishing. Found some huge Seeds, and a few perch. Just starting to get adjusted to the new ride. Works well. Oh yeah.....learned how to leave the winch cable hooked up also when launching. :o

In case y’all didn’t know already, FM is the BEST! He saved our ace this week when our water pump decided to quit. Now I live 46 miles away from the shop, and you can bet I’ll be back if the vehicle ever needs anything! Customer service that’s straight out of Mayberry!
Sorry I missed ya Wednesday when I picked up the car. Whenever you and the little guy (your son not Coach) are ready we’ll hit the east shore of Oneida. There’s plenty of room on the toner, so you can bring Coach, Walleye1 and the whole gang.
THANK YOU!

It will be tough from shore , or a boat for that matter for awhile kid ..... but the 81 bridge is most likely you're best bet ;)

Like DD said, even fishing from a boat can be a challenge right now. A lot of the eyes are out over the deep water chasing huge schools of bait.
The fall fishing is right around the corner though. It might be worth it to try some spots with water flowing in (creeks and streams). There's less weeds there and sometimes the bait congregates in those spots.

I had a chance to rap with Mike Iaconelli this morning in front of my job site.....He was wondering where RELEASE was and, what a daytime sonar was?? I told him that he'll get to meet Release and, also get to see what a daytime sonar is, if, you do a high speed fly-by within 40 yds of his boat!!!!! ;) --KP ;D
:w00t: :rotflol: :rotflol: You left out the part of relase trying to snag him with a sonar while he does a fly by!
-
a fly by at 60 and a 5/8 sonar hurled from a 7.5 ft rod ouch ;D Mike would be more than break dancing ;) i chatted with him last time he was here

yep and Iaconclli is in the lead with 20 lbs 3 oz, 4 large mouth and 1 small mouth, second only has 16lbs
and on a better note Spanky should be wearing his ice cleats at the launch :o

As of right now Ike is in second with 31.2... Randy Howell is in first with 32.2.. ;D ;D
-

Not very much longer if these temps drop. Usually October is a safe bet for night time wally action. Theres still allot of weeds choking up most of the shallow areas. My last keeper eye in the shallows at night was last week, so there are some fish shallow at night now just not in large numbers. Hope this helps

That helps... thanks.. i just learned about the fishing last november, late in the season...

Oh boy, I feel sorry for those eyes now. I bet their eyes get crossed the next time!
It is crazy how many fish are out there. Most of them aren't hungry though. The other day I kept trolling until I found a pod of fish and not much bait and those were the ones that cooperated.

When do you guys usually have luck with fall offshore walleye?
That has been gone over a few times over the last couple weeks Horn Pout .... But a rule of thumb for me has always been end of September / early October thru ice up . That's not to say you would necessarily get a goose egg before then but the weeds have gone down enough by then to make allot more shoreline spots accessible ;)

Headed to mid lake structure and jigged again and picked up 1 eye 1 perch. trolled again when wind picked up and got 2 eyes and 1 more perch. Not good but an OK day for me in august. Just tons of bait!!!!! Good luck!

Honestly , Fish for Panfish in the weeds in 10 to 15fow , there will be Eyes there too and one might just surprize you ;) That is if you think anything other than Eyes is not good . Smaller jigs with a worm or Fathead should bend the rod .

Me too! Hopefully this rain we are supposed to get will change things for the better a little bit. :-\
-
with these cooler nights and some rain and a little wind it will help things out , we have a slow period every year , i think it seems really bad due to the super long hot bite we had , i can't remember it lasting so long , be patience guys , the good bite is just around the corner ,

Man have we been spoiled. Last ice season, this spring & summer, when it returns to normal theres gonna be alot of frustration running around.
-
With no pressure on the perch on the west end this year the spring perch bite was as epic as it was 4 years ago.
I think the fall perch bite will be off the hook too with little pressure in the "middle" of the lake last winter as well. Going to kill quite a few fatheads in a week or 3.

Man have we been spoiled. Last ice season, this spring & summer, when it returns to normal theres gonna be alto of frustration running around.
I'm sure there will be many people that will be unhappy , but still a lot of happy ones to ;D ,
and Tim your right last winter we were deprived of some of that deep perch bite , due to bad ice , and I'm down to my last 2 lbs of last winters perch fillets , :'( eyes will just have to do ;D

Walt loses his spot for his boat in a week or 2, we were thinking about getting a slip for a month at Rick's. I thought if your boat wasn't there we could sub-let your spot for October. Your boat does look kinda lonely down there, we could take care of it for a week or 4 if you like. Does deadeye spic know how to drive?

Just joined this board. I have enjoyed following it over the past several months. Question...When does everyone think the fall casting will begin this year ?
-
Really when ever you can get out there and get weed free access to your favorite spot. I have caught them at night from shore all year long befor, just depends on the weeds in your spot. The big numbers will come in October and November.

I have never used waders on Oneida ; I have always fished from shore or docks. I recently bought a pair to get out a bit further when necessary. Question...How do you keep your fish as there is nothing on the waders to attach a stringer or rope to.
thanks
-
??? how about tying a rope around your waist :o
-
Use the shoulder straps...I use a mesh laundry bag instead of a stringer. Some nights the good bite is only minutes long- it's a lot quicker to just toss them in the bag instead of fooling around with the stringer.
-
I tie a rope to a steel mesh fish basket that has the float for a top. Tie the rope around my waist and good to go.
-
Thanks for the answers !. Does everyone prefer the dusk period as opposed to the later hours. I have a friend that does not even go out until 10 pm and fishes til about 3 or 4 am. Others say the 1st hr of darkness is the best.
Opinions ?
Thanks
-

x2. get a piece of rope and tie a big loop so you can pass ur arm and shoulder through. basket is about $8 at walmart, easily holds a limit

Every night is different. Sometimes I have fished for an hour at sunset with no bites. Then well after dark they roll in and you can hammer out a limit in 10 minutes.
-
Probably won't answer..but favorite spots ?

Anywhere you can access the lake with little weeds will produce .

when the temps are right most any place will have fish cruzing in and out , sometimes you need to check a few spots to get into them

Thanks, I really appreciate the help.

Try puttiing a can of "Sea Foam" in your gas. You can get it at any auto parts store ... even walmart. Pretty good stuff. Sometimes it does the trick.
Sorry about the boat DD. Been there, done that ... twice, just like you. I know it sucks and there's no cheap way out.
-
They are just money pits. Just fixed my lights and then the next trip out (yesterday) I busted a wheel bearing on the way home....Thats why I am glad I invested in a couple of fishing kayaks. That way if something doesnt work I can always still get out ;D Unless my arms decide not to work for some reason ::)

Some information for those of you that hate to lose $8 Xraps or other stickbaits. I live on lake Ontario where it connects to the St Lawrence River and fish in the fall much like all of you do by shorecasting at night. Less fish but much bigger. And, no one else doing it. On to the point of my post..I get snagged a bunch because of the rocky nature of the lake which really sucks. Retying with a headlamp is not fun.. What I have begun using last fall is (3) 1 ounce sinkers on a large snap that is connected to another large snap. Hook the opposite snap to your line and get your rod tip as high as possible and then let the sinkers fall to the snagged lure. Jiggle 3 or 4 times and 9 times out of ten you get your lure back. Saved me a ton of sticks last year. I plan on utilizing this at Oneida this fall.
-
Theres one piece of re bar at oneida that got alot of my sticks over the years.
-
Re-bar sucks. That will be difficult to get off. Anyway, try it on rocks or wood. Works great !
-
That piece of rebar ripped my stringer off my john boat one nite.
-
I will have to avoid that. Hopefully it is not in one of the places I fish.
-

Ha! You're looking at this all wrong... multiple guys aren't fishing there cuz it's a lousy spot... 8)
-
Probably right. I am stuck with all the public places.
-
Probably right. I am stuck with all the public places.
You couldn't fish all the public places in a whole fall... There is a LOT of shore access to Oneida lake.
-
I am surprised to hear that. I know of only a few. Boat launches, etc. The rest of the places look like you have to walk on private property and know somebody.

Thanks hookinup.........getting some tomorrow

Starting to see a lot of minnows in my early fall walley spot in the last 4years it has meant walleyes in a week :clapping: :clapping:
-
The other night we has a good south wind my buddy picked up 2 at dusk off shore, lots swirls around his lure too. They both were stuffed with shad, 18" + 19" though, a great start.
Gonna start looking for perch this weekend with Walt, maybe get a few early.
cny
-
I got out on Tuesday for a few hours. I was mostly looking for bass but tried some perch spots, no perch and just a few bass. I haven't fished much this summer so I was looking around a lot. Water was 74-75, I think it just needs to cool off a little. I checked my log for the last couple of years, I usually start getting perch when the water is in the mid 60's. I have some stands to hang any way.
I couldn't believe the pods of the bait out in mid lake. There was no end to them. I saw terns diving a couple of times and thought the smallies drove the bait to the surface but it was just cormorants feeding on the shad. There were balls of bait 15 foot thick and 100ft long.

mmmmmmmmm shad walleye, glad my freezers full... See you in November Slammy, hope you have a good perch season.

I believe it's here, as long as these nights stay cool. Coach and I did well last night shore fishing. Eyes were everywhere in the shallows. Alot of pins real shallow, larger fish were in about 6fow. They weren't super hungry, so we didn't hit huge numbers, missed alot of light bites, only one crushed my stick, rest of the hits were a small tick, like rubbing a rock. It was high pressure last night also, which makes it odd to see so many shallow.

Those pigs are so full they don't have to work much for food right now. I don't like fishing high pressure right after a cold front moves in. Sounds like you did decent though.
Was there much bait in shallow?
-
Not where I was fishing Bruce, but quite a bit of buckeyes in the nearby marina. Coach brought the fish home to clean, so I'm not sure of the stomach contents.

are the salmon running on oneida lake too????? ;D

Never fished from shore during the fall on Oneida ; always been spring. Tried it last night and although I saw a few eyes in the shallows, it was virtually impossible to fish becasue of the weeds. When do they get out of there (if they ever do) ? Caught one rock bass in three hours in three different spots.
-
If there are still rock bass at the spot you are fishing the walleyes are not around yet. When the walleyes show up they disappear usually. Still early yet for shore casting, but you never know in the right spots. After the leaves start falling is the best time, now it is time for perch fishing. :)

This saturday i'm gonna take junior to Carpenters brook for the sportsmen's days I think. We got a real good tour from fish/it Eric last weekend. Should be a good time with muzzleloading, trap shooting, and archery for the kids as well as the fish pond. Eric gave us a great tour as I said before, they really work it pretty hard to keep the streams in Onondaga county full of trout. If you never went there before you should check it out.

5 keepers in 4 hours of fishing yesterday mid day 12-15 fow.

perch must be starting to hit with the lack of reports on here. ;)....haven't been out in 2 months :'(
-
tried wading last night just to see how weeds were and if they are hungry yet. Weeds still pretty thick and alive where I was. Going to wait couple weeks before I try again off shore. My buddy did hook one but lost it couple feet away. Have to get out in boat and try to find em. Good luck All.
-
Haven't been seeing too many people out fishing for Perch along the north shore, I can see Cleveland bar from my house so I am looking often. I'll probably start some serious looking next week with the cool down. Will report if I have any luck. The winds from the last few days cleared a ton of weed along the north shore will be night fishing soon for walleyes.

finding isn't hard , the catching has been a little tough just get out between 30 to 36' but that was from what i saw last Sun could have changed some by now

About 20 guys fishing on the southside of Sylvan Beach pier tonight. Should have reports tomorrow.

Got 7 last night, dumped several others including what would have been my best one this year. No shad in their bellies just sand pike I think. Good bite right at dusk that died fairly quickly.
-
Anyone have any luck with shorefishing for walleyes yet? like oneida shores, godfreys, sylvan???

Nice job slamboney. Sounds like they're warming up. I haven't had time to get out in over a month. Hopefully soon!

finally got out for a couple hours this afternoon. got 3 nice perch, and a ton of dinks. the weeds are starting to clear a little. water temp was 63 where i was. going to try in the a.m. nice job slammy !! gander was the only place that had fatheads on the west end. later...

Fished tonight and managed one walleye from the boat on the south shore. Fish in 6 feet of water. On the way into the marina a saw about half dozen walleyes next to shore using that spotlight. I fished to deep
-
"Scouted" one of my fav spots last nite for half hour. Got 1 keeper on the first cast. Didnt fish long but saw quite a few. Gonna hammer on them tomorrow night ;)
-
The fish are definitely in. Picked up 3 in 30 minutes, once I figured out what lure they wanted. Missed about 5 other hits because I'm out of practice. Bite seemed to last about 45 minutes.
Biggest was a 20" and smallest 16.5". Tight lines.

Big Ol' south wind tonight. Coach and I picked up a few after our lodge meeting. Had to work for them for sure. Coach topped me once again.

Just wondering if this fall walleye shore bite is only on Oneida? Or is this normal for other walleye waters too? I live near Sacandaga, and while I do well in the spring, I've tried a few times in the fall with absolutely no luck.

Prety much everywhere gets some kind of a shallow bite in the fall... Points, creek/river mouths, weed edges, bait...

Thanks. Looks like I'll have to keep on it.

I noticed most are saying the bite is best right at dusk and shortly thereafter. Do they bite well into the night or only right at dark ?

got out this morning at daybreak. ended up with 41 hog perch !!! ;D. I would have limited, but I ran out of bait. going back out in the a.m. water temp was 61. 15 fow. later...

Every night is different, some times they go all night or they come in big schools sporadically. Dusk is defintely prime time though, as soon as you hit total darkenss seems to be the best.
Snagger, there will be plenty left for you, see you after mudshark season. I couldn't even break Dave free from carving up those things.

I have also hammered the eyes late night. From midnight on can be rediculous, but dusk is always usually a good bet as slamboney said. Good luck
-

It seems to me that at dusk most spots on the lake get a quick flurry of hungry fish. Then once the bite dies (it's usually a quick one) and it's dark, the fish come and go in schools. Once in a while there will just be fish everywhere, but those days are very few and far between. I usually hit one spot and fish until the schools move through. However, there are other guys here that move from place to place in search of the hungry fish. They tend to do MUCH better than I do. But I have had many nights where I caught fish throughout the night and into the early morning.

Thats awesome, Sully! 65 where I was last night, first trip in forever but nothing doing. Glad to hear the perch are getting together 8)

Does anyone use Xraps and if so, do you prefer the size 8 or 10 ?
-
A blue/silver #10 Xrap is my go-to lure when the wind is whipping and the waves are crashing. Also have good luck with it once the water gets real cold, on a super slow retrieve with intermittent pauses. I file off about half of the plastic lip, which gives it a tighter wobble, and keeps it up closer to the surface. Never fished much with the #8's, but I know guys who have great luck with that size too.
-
I guess you answered my question. Is the key to keep the lure close to the surface ? the xrap will get down about 3 ftor so. Is that too far down ?
-
fishing tomorrow during the day, would I be better off trolling or should I be drifting and throwing a jig or sonar for walleyes?
-
I guess you answered my question. Is the key to keep the lure close to the surface ? the xrap will get down about 3 ftor so. Is that too far down ?
Try anything and everything. There's no one lure or retrieve that is going to work every time. I bring two rods, one riged with a stick bait and one with a twister. If neither get hit, I start changing stick baits and tails until I find something they like, or get to tired and go home.
Good luck!
-
fishing tomorrow during the day, would I be better off trolling or should I be drifting and throwing a jig or sonar for walleyes?
If you're going to be there for first light then I'd start shallow and work my way deep using jigs and sonars. Hit structure (rock piles, sholes, points, weeds, etc...).
But then I'm not a troller. :-\
Good luck!
-

During the day I would troll deep. Then near dark try casting sticks in shallow.

Just went to Gander and bought my waders. Ended up getting Columbia Camo Neoprene Waders. They have 5mm of neoprene and 100 g thinsulate in the boots. Hopefully they work out well for me. Also bought myself a new cap light, and 7 new stick baits ;D That was a pricey trip...So now Im all set to go. I plan to go a lot this fall. Havent been out after them in the past 2 seasons. Ive never fished the north shore before in the fall, but I wanna this season. If any of you diehards wanna meet up lets gooo :flex: Id love to learn a thing or two from you guys
-
Anybody up for going out wading Sunday night always enjoy making new fishing buddies message me if your interested in fishing
-
Tried a couple spots for an hour last night. Ended up going 2 for 2. One keeper and one short. What was really cool was the amount of 3-6 inch walleyes I saw last night! Must have saw 200 of them in the short time i was fishin. Thats def a great sign :thumbup_smilie:
-
Yeah it is really good stuff to see all those baby eyes with the spotlight, they are probably like 3-5 inch long now from the spring. We gotta try that other spot I mentioned Deadeyspic, you need a red carpet rolled out for you?

Went after the perch today, Fished through the rain and wind. Very cold and Wet.. came home with 6 keepers :(

I finally made it out to chase some eyes tonight.
I tried a spot on the SE Shore for about 45 minutes with 0 hits. There was a nice light chop rolling in too. :-\
The I moved to the north shore and went 3 for 6 in a little over an hour. ;D
All hits came on a green/gold Jr. Thunderstick.

Fished the north shore with the boyz last evening. We worked hard foor them, made a couple moves. But all in all, we had decent success. KP jr. got his first limit, so did FM. ;D I gotta figure out how to post pics from this fancy new droid phone I have. We ended up with 7 0r 8 between our group. Fm stopped by a spot on the way home and picked one more up...... what a lucky guy. :laugh:

Sweet :thumbup_smilie:

Fished the north shore with the boyz last evening. We worked hard foor them, made a couple moves. But all in all, we had decent success. KP jr. got his first limit, so did FM. ;D I gotta figure out how to post pics from this fancy new droid phone I have. We ended up with 7 0r 8 between our group. Fm stopped by a spot on the way home and picked one more up...... what a lucky guy. :laugh:
nice job fm and crew....if you figure out how to post pics from phone...let me know. Droid system, galaxy phone...thanks.

I have been unsuccessful on the south shore so far this year. Wanted to check out Taft Bay or 3 Mile. Just wanted to confirm those sites require waders correct?
-
Nice job KP Jr!!! :clapping:

-
MMMMMMMMM ;D Sounds good!

I finally made it out to chase some eyes tonight.
I tried a spot on the SE Shore for about 45 minutes with 0 hits. There was a nice light chop rolling in too. :-\
The I moved to the north shore and went 3 for 6 in a little over an hour. ;D
All hits came on a green/gold Jr. Thunderstick.

Fish On - time for you to start your Fall Walleye Thread for 2012. Last years was fun for all those non Oneida fish...
I'll post a few here...
Tank was up in Canada all week on our annual guys trip. I was abvously home, lol...
Cool decent weather and good fishing...
Highlight of the trip was them seeing this young bull moose swim across the lake. We have heard rumors of moose but this was the first one seen...

Anyone know if the weeds are dying off yet at williams beach?
What water temps do they tend to die off at?

If you are really that curious, suck it up for a night dude and get in the water and find out for yourself. U want us to set the hook for you too.

Weeds were dying but still prevalent at Williams when I went on Monday. Decided to switch to north shore tonight and got 1 eye and a big perch.

The weed issues change night by night my friend. Huge pods of floaters can be in front of ya for an hour on still nights. Make a move and ya have nothing to worry about. Get out there and do it. Then ya never will ask a question like that again. ;)

Went to Williams tonight weeds aren't too bad at all in certain spots

dead calm last night release went out for just 2 hrs one eye and one smallie returned ,in coaches spot :nono:, for some reason Spankies spot was very busy :w00t:

I was thinking the same thing. 5-10 posts and start slamming people.
Looks like a good perch day..... overcast with a cold drizzle, keeps the possiblity of any pleasure boaters out of the mix too.

Allways cool to see moose in the water. When my cousin and I where growing up in Maine ::) ,He tried to catch up to one with a boat and ride it in . Thank god we could not catch up to it. The moose would have killed him for sure. They are big :o Great pics

Nothing after dark sor me on sticks.I did not want to wait em out, or try any more spots because i wanted to get a Stefanos calzone in mexico before they closed at 10 pm!! They are the best calzones i ha ve ever had. A must try ...their main restaurant is in pulaski, which does stay open later.

I can see several windmills from my front window.. They were whirling all day but at 6 pm they went dead.. At about the same time, the 11 deer feeding in the back field headed for the swamp and the birds at the feeders took off.. Wonder if all those events are related...

The bail detent is getting worn out from heavy usage. It kept flipping closed on me when I went to cast. Man that is frustrating. Well, pretty friggen embarrising also. ??? Got another one KP!!

Anybody been getting out early AM to do some casting? Was thinking about going tomorrow. Have only been out at night so far this year, but evenings will be reserved for hunting for now.

That's why we usually have to fish into the wee hours of the night, 10 or 20 good cast's can take all night sometimes :w00t:

Took everything apart tonight, cleaned and lubed the entire real. Also went through all the guide wraps and chipped off all the cracking clearcoat, re-topped them all with my daughters "flexible clear nail polish",. She will probably be p!ssed at dad for using her expensive polish, but I find that it works great. Besides, mom buy's it for her anyways. ;D

Finally got my new place squared away enough to get out for a bit tonight. Had to look around a bit but found some staging at the bottom of a break waiting to slide up shallow at dark. Caught everything on sonars between 14-24' (they got shallower as it got later.... It's GOOD to be back 8)

Acrossed from the South Bay Fire Dept. where the pizza place is. Yep, he's a great guy and it would be a heck of a spot ... real close to William's Beach. I'd bet he goes through a few fatheads, buckeyes and spikes during the hard water season. I don't understand why they make it so difficult for a man to start a business. I guess I don't know enough about zoning and code and such.
-
mickeys almost always has fatheads in stock
-
Its simple, the zoning laws leave no room for common sense. Its a blanket approach applied to everything the same way. If someone was opening a store that may add to traffic, they have to take it into account. However there logic would indicate traffic & parking issues wouldn't matter since the majority would be at 0 dark thirty for a bait shop, certainly not competing with "normal hours" of opperation for most biz. However our gubment couldn't find common sense if a bag of it hit them in the face.
So they'll be a pia till someone can prove fisherman buying bait won't interfere with traffic & the existing pizza joint traffic
-
PIcked up a few perch today, but it was dead calm out and they just weren't turned on. We went to our 3 good spots on the GPS and it was stacked with perch in every spot. I guess the high pressure had them chilling out, but they are where they are supposed to be. Walt got a few real nice ones, hopefully if we get an earlier start tomorrow we can get into something, A west wind would be nice.

Fished North Shore. Wind was DEAD. Water was glass. No fish. Went 1 for 1 on the bats tonight though

Got out for an hour or so after work, found a mix of perch and took 10 for dinner last night...waters still 64 degrees.

Are you talking about Vinny from Lakeshore pizza. Very cool guy, owns a nice 88 mustang 5.0

Got 66 perch today with Walt, had to work a bit for them. Got a lot of small ones, but we still managed A pail full. Got them at the edge of some grass in a spot we saved on the GPS 2 years ago, the fish were stacked under us, 12-13 FOW. I really think we would have done better but the lake was flat calm. These perch were mostly 9-11 inches, but we got 15 that were over 12", A nice mess of perch either way. Ran into Upstate out there as well, hope he did well after we took off.

Tim we stayed and fished the area until we ran out of minnows at 4:30, we caught 45 but only kept 18 with about six really nice ones. Probably give it a shot tomorrow if we can come up with some fatheads in the morning, We drifted and caught them from about 100 feet east of where you were to a few hundred feet west of where you were. Good to see you and Walt.

Got about 30 perch this evening...absolutely beautiful out there! No walleye bite at dusk though, just too flat.
-
So you were out there tonight. I think we saw you. I think maybe you forgot to pick up your anchor when you were up on plane :D

Oh great...here we go with the bass boat/walleye boat flame! You guys find any? Saw you heading back early...I know you bass guys are afraid of the dark...
-
Did not find them. That guy in the yellow boat kept saying we were going to get dinner, but he kept going to smallmouth spots. We did catch a perch who should have been a walleye!

Are you talking about Vinny from Lakeshore pizza. Very cool guy, owns a nice 88 mustang 5.0

Hey guys just bought myself a new recipe book. I know its not a report but I just wanted to share this one with you guys. I will be trying this one myself later this week.
Cheesy Walleye Bake
-10 oz. fresh asparagus spears, cut into 1-inch pieces (2 1/2 cups)
-1 1/2 lbs. walleye fillets
-1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons margarine or butter
-1 medium onion, finely chopped 1/3 cup flour
-1 cup milk
-1 1/3 cup cup shredded cheddar cheese
-1/4 teaspoon salt
-1/4 teaspoon pepper
-1 cup crushed soda crackers
Heat oven to 350. Spread asparagus evenly over bottom of 10 by 6 inch baking dish. Arrange fillets. slightly overlapping, on top of asparagus. Set aside.
In 1 quart saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons margarine over medium low heat. Add onion. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until tender. Stir in flour. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Blend in milk. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until mixture thickens and bubbles, stirring constantly. Add cheese, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat. Stir until cheese is melted. Spoon cheese sauce mixture evenly over fish fillets.
In 1 quart saucepan melt remaining 3 tablespoons margarine over medium heat. Remove from heat. Add cracker crumbs, stirring to coat. Sprinkle crumb mixture evenly over cheese sauce. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until sauce is hot and bubbly and fish is firm and (get ready for this word guys) opaque and just begins to flake. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
Sounds delicious. If any of you guys get to try it before me, please let me know how it turns out. Tight lines guys. Chief.

Opaque-not transparent or translucent; impenetrable to light; not allowing light to pass through. :rotflol:

i'm tring this using steelhead or a brown !!!!
-
Instead of the soda crackers I've used Cheez its or the one my son really likes is Nacho cheese doritos... just thought I would add some tweeking to an amazing recipe...
Trapper if you use the smaller trout fillets the asparagus doesnt get over cooked...
-
thanks fishit :D
-
went out with the coach last night we ended up with our limit was tough where we were , and coach lost one about 24" at the shore ,tough place to try and land one , but he tosses them back that size ,but a pic would have been nice fish ranged from16-20", when the wind died so did what little bite we had

Great job and jesture Fred your a true sportsman and friend glad you two had a good nite ;)

i cooked up a brown over summer. i wanted to hand every person who told me it was good before i cooked it a plate of oneida walleye. ill never cook one again the taste still haunts me
-
I ventured out last night around 11:00 and fished til midnight. Saw at least 40-50 keepers but they were not intrested at all. I guess I should have went earlier while there was some wind, but me and lil deadeyez were in the woods bowhunting til sunset. Only had 1 waldo half heartrdly follow my lure. Unreal! Second zero in a row for me......that will soon change tho ;)

just do like release does count by 3's ;)

Looks like a good night for the shoreline tonight. I'm whipped from standing in a tree in the pouring rain for 5 hours this morning. Hopefully there will be some good reports coming in. Haven't seen much in the woods. Lots of deer on the game cam, so I stay interested. My plan was to put one in the freezer early and then get on the water. Not going my way ... so far.

Hang in there Jim!! It'll happen! ;) Perch will be chewing pretty good soon! ;)--KP 8)

Sweet deal Snag. I was really itching to get out on Oneida tonight. Seems almost ideal. That work crap gets in the way :-\

. South shore or north shore filet? South shores stocked with weeds. Especially tonight with the wind blowing every weed in the lake. Been resorting to panfishing and have been hitting the crappie pretty good. Can't wait to target dem eyes though.

Hit the middle south shore area last night. I ended up going 1/2. Both were nice fish, no measurement though. First one hit right after dark, about 15 min later the 2nd hit. As I was unhooking that fish, one of my trebles got dug into the cord of my berkely fish gripper. Got stuck trying to get that out for probably 10-15 min or so, what a PITA...I finally got the hook out of the strap, made my next cast and my lucky perch pattern challenger jr that I have been using since last fall cast right off my line.. Changed lure, but no more hook ups. Not sure if the other guys there hooked any, but they left pretty quick in my opinion...
good night, would have liked to land the one I lost, it was good eye for oneida.
I love the nighttime eye fishing...

After 29 deer-less hours (yeah ... I'm keeping track - probably shouldn't), I was a little eager to squeeze the release. Takes the pressure off though. Now I can go fishing without wondering if I shoulda been in the tree instead. Hard for me to pass on an old corn-fed doe. Glad to see she was dry.

Actually, I simply just forget to turn my light off.....often. Other anglers have gotten upset with me for that reason. Whoops. Personally, I don't think it makes much of a difference at all. (Considering the small amount of time I've spent shore angling). ;)

Pricked 8, battled 6, petted 5, and set 2 free last night. Only my third trip of the year... sure was easier to get out every night back when I was unemployed... All fish came on the black/silver Challenger Jr. minnow, cranked slow with pauses on the north shore of Oneida Lake. Oh, was only out for about an hour... might have to try it again tonight. No pics this time... sorry.
-
Shot a nice 7 point last night. Actually screwed up on a much nicer deer and this 7 point just stands there asking for it so I gave it to him. Good to have one in the freezer. No time to trophy hunt for me this year, I'll take what comes by. Time to fish now...snagger when are you starting..next week?

Now everyone knows just what doesn't work on the north shore! Even gave up the wrong way to retrieve em. :o I have a pretty good idea just were ya were, I was close, I think. ;D Good work jhirsche. Gotta run into ya one of these days.
I fished next to one dude last night that said he was from Pulaski.... Put the friggen boots to me and coach at our first stop. Limited out, said he was going home, then started traveling east on 49. Seems like the long way to get back home.... but hey, what do I know.
-
Lance... we've chatted a few times, back when River Rat was open in Brewerton. Probably didn't properly introduce myself... I keep to myself most times. Didn't see anyone around where I was, unless you were fishing in the dark somewhere nearby. Oh, I was in a boat (but could have been standing in the water just as easily.) Probably won't be traveling too far from home this fall... gas is just out of control these days. Makes my Sylvan Beach trip an $8.50 expenditure when I live right on the lake anyway.... why leave fish to find fish, right?
Keep posting those pics... it feeds the soul!

You ever hear of route 69 ? Thats probably what he was taking. I realize you own the whole lake and should tell people how to fish and what route to take. Heaven forbid some people fish and drive differently than you !

Keep posting those pics... it feeds the soul!
Ahhh, I saw a couple guys fishing (wading), just west of us. Thought that might have been you. Sorry I don't recall running into ya at the River Rat? ??? My bad.

You ever hear of route 69 ? Thats probably what he was taking. I realize you own the whole lake and should tell people how to fish and what route to take. Heaven forbid some people fish and drive differently than you !
I prefer route 68... ;D

Simply hilarious.... I still have a hard time believing that I now own the whole Oneida lake. Do I get a crown or atleast something? :o Time to give it a break....please.

I was amoungst the group that you asked to move closer to shore. Everyone there did really well catching them after you left without moving.

Dude, the majority of your posts are either giving people a hard time, or just plain rude. There are many great anglers on this site who are more than willing to share information on just about everything. If you are here to give people a hard time, you probably arent going to benefit from this website. You can lurk and "mooch" from others information but dont expect to make any friends on this site. Just my .02

Keep it. And you are right and that is precisely why another thread was created so we could just read about fishing reports until some of you sabotaged it and got it removed. Wading thru all of this missinformation is ok for all of you that are friends but some of us really just want to read about fishing. I really don't want to know about your leaf blowers, girlfriends, and friendship. That is why the other thread was made so we could leave all of you alone.

Bye, have a nice day. Go create another thread. " Oneida Lake Rookies Thread"

Wrong dude...I think. I have never went to a fishing spot, and asked people to move. Not my style. If ya happened to be a member of the party that were standing on fish on the north shore when I simply walked by and commented that everyone is standing on fish, yes that would be me. I also left that area out of respect for the anglers that were fishing it.

Yeah, I was one of them. No offense but it seemed very condescending to all of us esp when lots of fish were being caught. No big deal. Dude ??

Once again... my bad, I didn't realize my voice could travel so far with a heavy south wind and the caps rolling the way they were. I made a comment to a elder gentleman that was fishing in the marina, as I approached that area, and felt my words were quite tactful as I recall?
-

Don't be giving away the secrets!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL Sometimes I won't even fish if I don't hear popping and some eye's with my 1 million power headlamp.... LMAO I look at it like deer hunting, you won't sit on a stand if it doesn't show any sign so why fish in a small patch of water if there's no fish or bait... ;D
Oh yea, my leaf blower is away for the year along with my girlfriend. The truck is running great and the kids are also... Did I miss anything? :P

must of caught lund on a bad day! lifes too short to be mad!especially on this fishing site! FM is a long timer here and i have to say, hes giving me alot of information just reading his posts! hes a stand up guy and im SURE he didnt mean anything by it! hes gotten my respect as a GREAT guy, and fisherman! guys like him are people i like to be surrounded by! but my friends Kowboy and a few are out in Illionios guiding for MOnster Bucks rite now! and im here stuck with catching walleyes! LOL!:)
-
On a lighter note, this has been the best early start to the night 'eye frenzy that I can remember. October 12 and I've got the freezer just about bustin' at the seams with fresh vacuum sealed walleyes, and that is with eating a lot in the meantime. Do you other night die-hards agree? I've avoided the crowds so far and I usually don't have a lot of time to hit the lake between the wife and kids (4 and 1) so I'm a bit leery of offering other details about the actual process that went into getting them from lake to freezer (lurkers with questionable sportsmanship). I just don't usually have time to drive all along the lake, much as I'm dying to explore some new spots. Anyway, do you guys agree about the jackrabbit start to the season?

You are right. I guess I got a little upset about nothing much. I don't have the luxury of living so close as you guys and I drive 50 to 70 miles one way. So, when I go I need to make sure I maximize my opportunity. I would love to be able to go 4 or 5 nights a week if I was living on the lake. Any good info on the bite is very important to me to save 40 bucks in gas.
Sorry if I posed a problem, my intentions were definitely not intended to.

just a rule of thumb start from shore and work your way out , and lund i under stand about miles i do between 35 and 40, and at times a little more one way but what does a senile ol buzzard know , i'm going fishing ,thats not right fishing sucks catching is eating :w00t:
-

Um I understand you sorta apologized in another post, however your reports only thread was riddled with posts of catching nothing.......... These guys were posting pics of limits everyday while most others were getting skunked. Seemingly it would be logical to accept suggestions from those who catch, instead of taking offense, but alas what do I know. While you may not have known it was fm that night, after you read here it was, you apparently found a decent spot, it would seem prudent to take advice from those that get to fish it often & have more success than others rather than brag that your method worked once.....
Not to mention for someone who didn't want to read anything other than reports you also seemingly spend alot of time on these other threads.
Simple if a successful diehard offers advice, its probably best to consider it, not complain it was offered. Otherwise why bother seeking info at all?
-
How's the ice ??? ::)
Tonite with this forecast I'll be doing my normal routine for this time of yr. Setting the dogs stainless water bowl off the ground so I can stare at it frozen at 4am wantingly & wishing I was drilling holes.
I guess I have a problem, for which I hope there's no cure........

That's why I never turn mine off. ;D

Actually, I simply just forget to turn my light off.....often. Other anglers have gotten upset with me for that reason. Whoops. Personally, I don't think it makes much of a difference at all. (Considering the small amount of time I've spent shore angling). ;)
It depends Lance. Usually it dosent bother them unless you shine it right in their eyes and keep it there. If you shine them then move the light off them just enough that you can still seee them they usually dont spook. Other times I have waded out in the pitch black and kept my headlamp on and have had numerous fish cruise in to check it out, next thing they know theyre on the stringer! ;) I have learned alot about sight fishing for them in the shallows. It gives you a different perspective on how they react to different baits and retrieves. Some people are just set in their ways and think that any light spooks them.
-
Shot a nice 7 point last night. Actually screwed up on a much nicer deer and this 7 point just stands there asking for it so I gave it to him. Good to have one in the freezer. No time to trophy hunt for me this year, I'll take what comes by. Time to fish now...snagger when are you starting..next week?
Nice job slammy! :thumbup_smilie: Pm me if you wanna harass some wally gators in the next couple weeks. I'll meet you at the spot

I'm wondering that myself it must be that inner circle of friends that some talk about , can't wait for ice , when we are all fishing miles a part ;D and with the same results :o and that's OK i read all the threads 2 but remember reporting and doing and figuring things out are way different ;)
-
Those guys standing on fish, just makes them walleyes more tender :laugh: Just had lunch. How's this for distracting ;D

fished for a couple hrs after the rain stopped this afternoon.....east wind was not good.....drifted around and picked up a dozen nice perch for dinner tomorrow....water temp was 53 deg.
-
nothing wrong with a plate full of perch :thumbup_smilie:
-
made it out this afternoon had to make 2 trips as first trip out ended shortly with my 4 year old putting his leg in the minnow bucket ::) after returning to get dry pants and shoes we went back out ended up with about 20 nice perch, took a while to find them and stay on top with it rocking out there but once we found em it was on right till dark.
-
just got back, fished the north and south shore.. pretty good wind. ended up with my limit and some. Overall good night
-
got out tonight for a while. got 1 walleye, and missed 4 :cursing:. water temp was 54 in 4 fow. later...
-
Hey colts, I caught the fish with your buddies rapala in its mouth early this morning...same spot...#9 BK/s with swivel, looks brand new...I'll give it back to ya next time I see ya :P. Good to hear you did good tonight...I took my dad and got zip
-
Just got home from fishing with Coach and Roadkill. Not proud, cause we all got zero's. Dropped a couple good hits, but that was all. The wind , grass and leaves were a tough battle. We tried friends. Just to prove that no angler is successfull all the time. Ran into my bud Walleye 1. He managed a keeper.
-
I tried the north shore for about an hour last night. The weeds were manageable. Never had a hit.

Really? My phone never rang... ::)

Picked up a big zero last night too. Was a few more weeds hitting than usual. Anyone know what the dusk hour emergency was out by Dunhams? Drew Air 1 and a couple rescue boats...

Yessir, A boat broke down mid-lake, with the wind and waves picking up, I guess a rescue was in order. Saw the boat get towed in, The waves were pretty wicked watching that unpowered boat rocking away.

Whoever fished with me on Sat night id yourself haha, if u can catch ur limit in 20 mins then you can show me some hints. Anyways PM me or something

it just happens that way sometimes , lots of nights one guy has just the right retrieve or movement that makes them hot i have spent many nights doing the watching game , just try and copy the guy that is catching thats the best you can do

zeroed tonight. got 1 pickeral, and 2 largemouths. going to try again on wednesday. water temp was 55. later...

Filet, I was the one who coltsx was talking about. It's taken me 25 years doing this every fall to get the intuitive feel for where to go under what conditions and what lure to throw and exactly what retrieve they want that particular night. I fish a lot, from Skaneateles lake to the St Lawrence to Otisco and Oneida and I can say without a doubt that walleyes are by far the most finicky and frustrating fish to figure out. Spent a ton of hours and endured a lot of cold, rainy, sometimes snowy, miserable nights to fine tune the techniques it takes to be consistently successful. It's that light but solid thump of a walleye hit in the dark, the atmosphere of quiet anticipation in the wee hours of the night, and of course a cold beer in hand and the sizzling of the fish in the fryer with the whole family waiting anxiously for that pile of golden brown fried goodness that keeps me going out in driving rain and wind and snow while everyone else huddles inside under blankets in front of the TV. Tight lines guys!

I got zeroed tonight too. I started at sylvan and waded out there for a bit. Then I fished the canal. I also fished godfreys and apps. TONS and i mean TONS of bait in the water. I had several casts having to take shad off my trebbles. I thought for sure I was gunna get into them over there at apps. Not a ton of popping going on out there either, which I thought was surprising with all of the bait that was there. I talked to one guy at the beach, he got one short. I was talking to a guy over at apps and he picked one up there before I got there and also picked one up in taft bay. I also fished out in front of a marina in constantia. Nadda. Hope to hear some better reports rolling in later on. I may wait it out a few days before I head back out. Tight lines guys.

I'm still fine tuning the shore thing ,glad to hear your doing well ,i feel the same way about the ice after 30+ yrs of fishing from the finger lakes to can. i think I'm starting to get a handle on it , but of course when it comes to the ice it's 5-6 days a week and some nasty weather , but it is quiet, and the boys let the ol buzzard take a noon time nap from time to time ;) and maybe a high ball after the fishing is done, keep up the good work and post a few pics we all love to see them , :thumbup_smilie:

Has anyone ever tried to eat/can/smoke a shad? No... I'm serious! Why are we all wasting time on these fussy marble eyes when there's literally metric tons of food swimming in the water right at our feet. Well, that's how it was last night anyway. First time I've ever seen walleye popping shad right from my dock... I even took a few casts before I got in the boat. This is in less than 3 FOW in the back of a weedy, muck bottomed bay. I suspect the southeast wind of the last few days had a role in this, pushing these massive schools of shad back into the bay from the open lake. As usual... NW shore area.
Motored over to my favorite spot, watching the carnage unfold on the way... just eyes everywhere swirling and popping on the bait. Same deal at the spot I went to... stupid amounts of bait in the water. At several points, I swung my bait net through the water, and came up with at least a pound or more of these (presumed) yonug of the year shad. Had a great night last Thursday, without the bait. Kinda hoping the west wind blows them outta there.
Didn't get to pet 'ol marble eyes last night, but as stated above, confirmed the hook points are in good shape when the time comes, as every few casts produced a foul-hooked shad or two!
-
Got to my spoy about 6:30pm first cast huge smallmouth, next few cast same thing lots of bait fish around, then at about 7:15 got a nice 19 inch wally ;D

it just happens that way sometimes , lots of nights one guy has just the right retrieve or movement that makes them hot i have spent many nights doing the watching game , just try and copy the guy that is catching thats the best you can do
I'm going to beg to differ with you on that statement. I've found that whenever I try and mimic someone else's style it doesn't do me any good at all. To me that's showing lack of confidence in your own personal style and that's never a good thing. Of course I do understand that you rookies have to start somewhere. ;) ;D

Has anyone ever tried to eat/can/smoke a shad? No... I'm serious! Why are we all wasting time on these fussy marble eyes when there's literally metric tons of food swimming in the water right at our feet. Well, that's how it was last night anyway. First time I've ever seen walleye popping shad right from my dock... I even took a few casts before I got in the boat. This is in less than 3 FOW in the back of a weedy, muck bottomed bay. I suspect the southeast wind of the last few days had a role in this, pushing these massive schools of shad back into the bay from the open lake. As usual... NW shore area.
Motored over to my favorite spot, watching the carnage unfold on the way... just eyes everywhere swirling and popping on the bait. Same deal at the spot I went to... stupid amounts of bait in the water. At several points, I swung my bait net through the water, and came up with at least a pound or more of these (presumed) yonug of the year shad. Had a great night last Thursday, without the bait. Kinda hoping the west wind blows them outta there.
Didn't get to pet 'ol marble eyes last night, but as stated above, confirmed the hook points are in good shape when the time comes, as every few casts produced a foul-hooked shad or two!
I have smoked smelt before and they were great. Can't hurt to give it a try.

all i can say is we differ on that point the guys i fish with kind of mimic each other at times and more often than not it seems to work especially in the boat jigging, , and i think that style and technique are two different animals just my opinion ,we learn from each other to improve , we all have our on style ;)

I guess I should have said technique and not style in my post as that is what I meant. One and the same to me.
-
I'm as stubborn as they come, if you say your getting them on blue I'll use black just to be different, but if someone I know is beating me down in my boat or from shore, I'll sneak a peak at his jigging presitation to see if theres something different and adjust mine if I think I have too, but after years of doing something the same way, it can be hard to change on some days, every trip is different, but I usually can make the adjustment in time to salvage a trip.
-
made it out the last 2 nights along the north shore lots and lots of bait everywhere so much last night i was striping them from the rap in place of the weeds...
between both trips only spotted one nice sized eye couldn't get it to take there's still lots of pins around :-\ tho.
-
Pray for a strong north wind to push the bait back to the south shore! Like I said, we ought to try canning them like sardines. I used to love those canned herring in tomato sauce...
-
i hope the weeds go, for some stay, when the weeds die down there gonna let the sulfur out and the poison will scare the fish away... CMON dont u guys watch the discorvery channel :x?!?!
Going out to the north shore tonight, i plan on outfishing the "thugs" tonight!
-
I thought he said "gangstas" on the other thread? Aren't gangstas the upscale thugs or am I off on my street lingo? Trying to figure it out is giving me a headache ::) ;D
-
Well fellas Im heading out this evening. Starting out east at sylvan and fishing my way back west on the north shore. Ill report later when I get home. I will be fishing alone. If any of ya guys get out tonight and want to meet up either shoot me a text or give me a ring. 3158575690
Good luck out there tonight. Chief 8)

nice job bob when this becomes a job, i'll quite ;D ;D ;D ;D thank's any way.filet, good fishin too all.

fyi, while i was cleaning my perch , i noticed they were full of large shad. 3'' long. and a couple of these perch were really skinny , hardly any meat. female and male. ??? ??? ??? ???
-
That's interesting, I have never seen shad in perch. I didn't think they could choke them down when they got that big. We need a big shad die off, I am not a good enough fishermen to compete with all that bait.

I've seen a few, but not lots. I have however caught some slob perch on walleye/pike rigs on tipups with large shinners. I don't fish tipups much, mainly when I feel like claiming a bit more room when the circus shows up. Maybe a dozen times a yr & more often than not I get 1-2 perch a day that tried to choke down 3" or better bait. Also every now & then I'll pick one up while trolling raps in 12-15.

would someone be able to point me in the direction of carbones camp please? If its the north shore near what town? I think its somewheres between edgewater and jewel but not sure?

in a boat or by road ?you cant miss it , when out in the lake last monster heading east before Edge water [north shore]

in a boat. thank you for the info

Well, I've been humbled the past 4 trips out. First 2 weeks of Oct. with a limit of eyes every night with a good amount of C&R also. Then, like turning off a switch, I haven't even had a hit since in probably 12 hours of casting! Like I said in another post, 25 years of nighttime shore fishing has taught me a lot, and thank God one of the lessons is to fill the freezer while you can and truly appreciate those nights where a fish hits on every cast. Of course, as soon as I started bringing the camera so I can post pics on here, now I can't catch a fish :w00t: :w00t: :cursing:
-
well they can be very camera shy along with being finicky ;)

I have had the same problem. Started out good and now 3-4 trips of skunk...
Last night at oneida i had fish slashing the surface all around me, from 6" of water to 3', all along the shore. A couple of them almost seemed like they were going to end up on shore they were so close..
I'm still relatively new to the nighttime walleye casting, but I am assuming they were eyes. I have never seen them do that before. It started right at dark then ended up abruptly...The water was little murky, I couldn't see what they were chasing and I didn't want to shine the water to spot for eye shine..
Think it was eyes? Is there anything else in there that would be doing this at night?
-
Programmer...I ALWAYS shine the water to look for "eye shine"...usually just a brief sweep of the area to see whats there. Don't keep the light on them too long. You don't need to stare at them anyway, it's just helpful sometimes to know they are there, especially if you have doubts that about the fish you hear slashing. In my experience the light will not spook them. I've even had some nights at the end of the summer when they're not in in large numbers yet where I'll walk the shore at one of my spots until I spot an 'eye, step back a bit, cast in that direction, and BAM. Limit. Of course, I've found that it's almost impossible to see them if the waters even slightly murky, so that might not have helped ya the other night anyway. Crystal clear water it's like their eyes have their own light source...a little bit of murk and nothing. So, it was probably 'eyes on a frenzy you saw the other night. It was dark, right? I don't know if I remember seeing them blitz bait like that with any daylight left this time of year. Next time that happens, try a very slow retrieve, just enough to feel the lures action(a floating lure), then pause...let it float...repeat...they will smash it on the surface or just as you give it the pause...good luck out there...we are running out of pleasant weather I believe...pretty soon we will get to the true name of this thread ;)
-
It started right at dark, right at black i should say. The water was murky for sure. That is part of the reason i didn't shine much. I made a quick sweep and didn't see anything when one slashed right to the side of me., but i was afraid of spooking them off.
i usually throw challenger jr', but had to switch to a storm thunderstick because of weeds. They ride higher in the water column.
I think you are right, I need to pause and twitch more. I think I was reeling to fast for the situation.
The urge to cast at the last splash was getting the better of me
-
Try a floating Rapala, F7 size. They ride the highest in the water column IMO. SLOWLY give the rod a nice, slow, long sweep and then let back on it. Repeat. If you are hitting weeds this way, do it slower or hold your rod a bit higher. As you sweep you will feel the lures action. If you hit weeds, stop immediately. The lure will usually just float up away from them and you can continue this retrieve. That said, I had one night this year where I had to reel almost as fast as I could and then give it 3 hard jerks and stop. Repeat. Not 2 jerks, not 4, but 3. It was the only thing they would hit. But the slow way I described is a good solid starting point. It does tend to change as the season progresses into colder. Frustrating though when they're slashing all around you but you can't get one, huh? Otisco Lake 'eyes will send you off in a strait jacket muttering incoherently. :o
-
well they can be very camera shy along with being finicky ;)
I'm going to leave the camera home next time to test the theory. Of course, that'll be the night I see a 12 point buck and land a hundred pound sturgeon :laugh:
-
Went out to the middle of the lake today. Water temp 57.6 on both my lowrances. Zero Eyes' again. Talked to one friend out there He had 3 trolling. Last year this time is was pretty easy to get a limit. Little flustered right now. Oh Well try and try again is only way to get em. Good Luck All
-
DEATH TO THE SHAD! :w00t:
-
Wow, 57.6. Am I right in thinking that's quite a bit warmer than usual for this point in Oct? I never really check the temp. but that seems pretty warm. Thanks for that report.

anybody doing anything on the south shore? I have been seeing a lot of cars and very little fish coming from Williams when I have been there. Ill be trying the north shore this week for my fish, although im scared of these alleged "thugs" I hear so much about.
-
Williams has been very slow a lot of shad around and the walleye have not been biting very well at all haven't caught any fish there in few trips
-
zeroed again ??? ???. the shad were so so thick you could just about walk on em !! there was alot, and I mean alot of walleyes poping all around me all the way to the shore. there was just to much bait !! oh well, it can only get better from here. later...
-
when i took my boat out on the south shore I couldnt believe the amount of shad. it looked like the schools of fish you see in the ocean. some of them were 4 or 5 inches too. the water was so low hasnt been an eye or bass near my dock in 5 months

Oh don't worry :blink: Unless you hear somebody say " Release sic 'em! " ;D
-
the lake level has dropped 5" in the last 3 days. their about 2 weeks early, and the amount of shad in the lake is incredable !!!
I pulled a spanky move saturday morning. pulled the big boat for the season. I stepped in the water to hook the bow, and both feet went out from under me !! in the drink I went !! My wife was laughing so hard she almost fell off the dock !! I was laughing so hard I couldn't get up right away !! atleast the water wasn't that cold. " Spanky" you inspired me !!!" later...

I did the same thing Saturday when helping launch at Sacketts Harbot. Only difference is I am well over 70 and hit pretty hard on point of hip..Lucky I didn`t break it... Changed clothes and went on. Had a good day with the fish..
The ramps are dangerous...

you take it easy Old Timer, our bones are not what they used to be. I am 62 and i have to remind myself to take it easy. I still do everything. I slipped on the rocks and skinned my knee pretty good and index finger is still sore from Sunday night.

Fish cleaning died so I drove down to the canal tonight, great west chop at sunset, but bite was tough for me, fished from 6-9pm, got one keeper, dumped two.... a short and really good sized one and got one other good thump I missed, got the 3 fish on 1/4 oz jigs and the other bite on 3/8 oz jig. You know its a tough bite when you count hits, jigged hard without any breaks for the full 3 hours til my neck hurt.. Great night for jigging though, warm with a bright moon too see your line with and little wind after dark.. oh well, next time, atleast I got the rust out, hadn't walleye fished since July.

Fished the north shore. I had a tough time tonight. Managed 2 keepers. Missed another hit. The larger one was a nice fat 20''. Picked one up at taft and the other at godfreys. Dead flat. Didnt see any baitfish. Will post a couple pics tomorrow
-
Me and a buddy of mine caught nice limits the past 2 nights. Very sturdy fish 18-21 inches.
-
Zeroed the past 5 times out south shore spots. Don't usually have a lot of spare time when I go to search for new spots and my old reliables have gone 'dormant'' for the time being...nothing but huge shimmering solid schools of shad...don't usually see nearly that many in my area of the lake :-\

Spent awhile before dark anchored up on a nice school of perch, pounded them on a Kastmaster tipped with an eye... didn't count them but the sink was full. ;D
-
Fished my south shore spot tonight for 2 hours. Saw big school of shad as I walked out. Nice calm night with clear water to see in. Finally hooked up. Had 1 in my hand then he flopped out and I lost him. Didn't have my headlamp had light in my hand and it cost me. Had 1 more hooked for few seconds. Well finally getting the fever now. Go again friday.

Finally broke my streak, landed one 23 incher, dropped 3 that hit right on the surface, missed several solid thumps. South shore, right at dark ;D

thanks chief , hate wasting my time driving all the way down there, only to half to go to another spot , now if the weekend weather will allow it ;D
there has been some really nice fish caught this fall , can't wait to get on the hard water to see what that's going to be like
-
Any Ice forming yet fellas? ;D
-
Blanked last night, but also didn't see the amount of bait out there like we had a week ago. Plenty of eyes prowling around though. With a little more persistance, last night coulda paid off, as the fish were there... but just didn't have my head in the game last night. Did, however, see another boat out there fishing nearby... came from south shore, didn't see where he left from.
Oh, the important part: fishing shallow from a boat on the NW shore, 6:30-8PM. Using various black/silver, gold and perch colored stickbaits, with slow retrieve and a few good pauses too.

Looks like good tasting road kill ;D

I finally made it out on the lake with the boat this afternoon for the first time in 2 months. I mainly trolled. Ended up with 7 nice yellows, 4 eyes, 2 keepers and a sheepie. I missed a metric arse load of bites and dumped several fish too!
It was really nice out there today.
-
It was way too nice to stay at work so I blew out for the afternoon. I got into some nice yellows, kept 25 good ones. Caught most of the good ones in a little over an hour span, then I lost the school and it was back to dinks.
Nice finally meeting you Hollywood.

The pleasure was all mine Mr. slamboney. Anyone that leaves a hot bite to run in & pick up their daughter to get her out there on them too...is alright in my book... 8) I had a great time with my Dad...The swedish pimple/eye combo did many in this afternoon straight under the boat.

Even though there is no electric code on meter height. Meters are to (usually) be installed 4' to the bottom of enclosure or as high as 6' to the center of the meter socket and visible at all times, as instructed by the Utility. Great looking home though!

Those better fish dissappeared on me I didn't keep one after comming back out. She had a good time catching the smaller fish though, she actually prefers them because they are easier to reel in, 25 is plenty to clean anyway.

We wound up keeping about 50, 5 went back for every keeper. I got a nice pic of you & your daughter in the boat, I'll get it to you. I don't think there's anything in this world my old man likes better than sitting on a school of perch like that...I'm sure we'll run into you again soon!

Nice work guys. You are more than allowed to share quality fish pics on here....as far as I'm concerned. :D

I fished last night in 3-4 fow from 9-11pm for the first time this fall in Billington Bay. Used various sizes/colors of husky jerks, storms and rapala's. Tried fast, slow, stop/go retrieves. Although i didn't have one hit i heard them splashing all around, and saw many eyes glowing when i turned my head lamp on. Bait was everywhere near the shoreline. Just seeing the walleye was worth going, but it would've been nice to hookup. Not sure if it was just an off night because there was zero wind, or if i was doing something wrong, but the fish were definitely there. I have to think if i did the exact same thing 3-4 nights in a row i'd eventually get into them.
We're closing our camp soon so that might be the last time i get out. I'll spend the rest of my fall fishing the Susquehanna river down in the Vestal, NY area where i've typically had really good luck in November/December.
Good luck guys!

Good idea, I hope Jim/upstate got his nice red boat out too, I will take a look tomorrow. He hates taking his boat out before November as well.
Have not gotten any fish from shore yet, just a lot of maple leafs and some seaweeds so far. Hopefully after the storm comes through they will turn on a bit.

Had some friends that fished out of their boat yesterday and they destroyed the eyes and jack perch. I worked most of the day. Then casted from shore at dusk for an hour or so. Ended up with a couple perch and a monster smallie that went airborne about 5 times. No eyes.

Me and Jimmy saw 2 6 boat clusters out there on weeds or structure, they looked like they were on them......s but I was in relax mode after 3 months of straight work.. we only brought sonars and bucks so we jigged our ice fishin spots, and a few new ones......they were down there, just too much bait over top of them. I have never fished oneida from a boat in october, anywhere really, always been a river rat. So I had fun without alot of action. We caught all our bass on jiggin raps or sonars, I have a giant bass bag, but didn't bring it.
-
I wasn't there but heard it was deeper water. They hit em on sonars.

my bill was higher than yours, so I ate more, there was like 10 plates on the table, don't forget the 40 cents in coffee i drank.. :w00t:
We did a half effort for the eyes, hit some key 30-33 foot areas and 21-24 foot spots, no one home but bass, then jigged the deep canal holes, east end spots, if we had search lures would of tried perch but forgot our boxes at the lodge, it was a nice day out and the bass were fun, just not alot of them...
could be waldo in peoples yards tomoorrow after this storm, get your nets ready.

Hit the southwest shore around 8 just before the winds switched from N to NE. 27" pig 'eye on second cast. As soon as the wind switched, it was impossible to cast. Fish was STUFFED full of shad. Normally I'd let one that size go but I didn't even realize how big it was till I had it on the cutting board. The wind and rain was nuts out there :o

lol nope that's my 4year old's hand and a butter knife so he could help me clean them ;)
had to do something to keep him busy cleaning 51 fish takes a while. but i do use a clamp sometimes on eyes, i hang the edge of the board about 2" of the table its an old wood spring clamp only about 1" wide hold the head great has just the right clamping power, i also used to just have a board with a nail on one end sticking up but got cought one to many times so i got rid of it don't trust it with litte man playing around it.

I went up the canal at Sylvan Beach last Sat. People living along canal on North side had dumped and were blowing so many leaves into the water it was unfishable. Some places they were floating on water along the bank 3-4 ft high and out from bank 6 ft or more.. The ones that had been mulched up were mixing into the water down 6 ft or more.. Too lazy to bag them up..

it's the samething but just from the boat , cast into the wind with the wind it makes the lures react different , the rest is up to them to pick out what presentation they want fast slow a drag or pause or twitch, good luck and be carefull
good one coach :rotflol: :thumbup_smilie: you know coach i told release to wash his mask just in case he had an an accident :w00t: just remember that I'm only running at 60% you ready for the full 100%, don't worry about release ,he couldn't catch a cold ;D let alone wash his mask ;D but he can pick lures out
the ice man is coming :o

Got out in the boat today for a couple of hours. Had a nice 5 mph wind out of the North. Dropped in at 40 fow. Got bit on the second cast and lost it half way to the boat. Picked up a chunky 21 incher on the fourth cast. Ended up boating 6 eyes from 15 1/2 to 21 inches. Lost several, including one that popped my 10 lb fluoro leader. Drag was too tight.
My nice North wind turned into a nasty NW whitecap makin' mess. Gotta expect that this time of year. Wish I would've went out early. Coulda put the screws to 'em I bet.
All caught on 5/8 ounce Chartreuse Sonars. All went back to fight another day, as I was headed to my treestand.
Mid-lake water temps were 50 - 51 degrees. Had 48 - 49 closer to the shoreline.
There are 18 boats left at Fremacs, and my boat seems to be the one all the seagulls want to poop on. What a mess.
Nothing like the smell of shad-infused seagull poop. It's a good freakin thing they are protected.

I'm not familiar with the deep mud flats , so I fish the weed edges on the west end . If you launch at oneida shores and fish the 10 to 13 foot flats I'd bet you and the boys could find a few ;) Best of luck 8)
-
x2 plenty of fish in that range of 10-13' on the west end
-
I wouldnt mind getting out there and trying to find a few. Been fishing Ontario Bays. Think I may give it a shot sometime soon.

After seeing those perch pics i'm going kinda kooky, I need to get out there and get some perch, my god they are on. I've got to get a little boat for the fall perching by next year, the best fishing is in April and November i'm thinking.

Trust me...there are plenty for ice season... many times I'm reading bottom of 34-35' when I'm in over 40'. There is going to be one heck of a perch season on the ice this winter. I may be chasing beagles & bunnies more than ice fishing though so I'm putting some away now.

Dumb question since i did not read the little pamphlet that came with the nanofil. Itied on a jerkbait casted and watched my most expensive lure go into orbit. Thinking it got wrapped around the tip i tried a favorite crankbait with the same result.......after watching almost forty bucks shoot out of a cannoni put that rod down. What is the best knot for this line?
-
I fished for a couple hours last weekend and got some nice smallmouth deep, didn't have much time to fish like usual. Big Jim...you are going to find that GPS of yours on the bottom of the lake one these days. I will take you fishing, "not secret spot collecting."
Nice job Hollywood, that's awesome.

I layed off my super secret spots after he started punching that thing on every stop, save them for ice season. Good talking to you today, got me pumped for ice season. We can't have 2 crappy ice years in a row....can we?

The key is keeping the gps on and in your pocket. Just take it out for a sec so it gains its bearings, then put it back in your pocket, and hit the waypoint button. No one ever notices ;)

You girls need to learn how to tie a knot! ;D Useing the stuff for a year now and probably retied my swivel 2 times. Tie the recomended knot or add a few wraps to your favorite. Same deal with most braid/super lines...
that being said, I do not care for the small diameter Nano for icefishing....
And I have found no openwater advantage for nanofil over powerpro or the original fireline... but it aint junk ;D
-
X2!!
X3................I will stick with old school mono. I am not fishing for salmon, just walleyes and perch.
-
power pro and trilene big game clear... I keep it simple too.
-
Trilene XL is what I've always used. I ran into a Guy the other night who was struggling with the newer Suffix line. His reel looked like the old sparrows nest I pulled out of the birdhouse out back yesterday. I was waiting for him to either start sobbing uncontrollably or snap the rod over his knee and throw it in the lake. Either way, I don't think it helped matters much that I caught a walleye as he was picking through that tangled mess. Maybe if he knew it was the first 'eye I caught in 2 weeks fishing every night :o
-
Thanks for all the replies....i have used PP and Fireline crystal with success but if you do not try other brands then how can a person know what works for them. i absolutely love the fireline but this Nanofil casts a country mile once i used the proper knot last night! I was messing with it in the yard and wow....I will not ask if the preference is Pline or Seaguar since it might start a internet riot :D
-
All of these lines have their place, depending on the presentation and rod length. I'd sooner give up my left one before my Suffix when it comes to deep open water jigging. For chucking stick baits it doesn't really matter unless you're trying to get every inch out of your cast. There all good, you just have to know how to use them. Different tools for different jobs.
-
I have used berkly xl and xt for years. The braid I do like is power pro but only in certain situations. I am absolutely convinced you will catch more fish in clear water with mono than braid as it is so visible. I fish Lake Ontario most of the time and the water is very clear. The xl abd xt are very thin and do a good job of dissapearing. The braid is visible at 30 ft. This makes me less confident..
-
I always run a 6-8 foot fluorocarbon leader with all the different braids and super lines I use. ;)
-
I use 6lb spider wire for jigging, and sticks. have only lost a couple jigs until I put a 6" leter on. I would have to change jigs, because they chewed all the hair off. Had to put a new challenger on this year, because they bit off the bill on the front of it !! All my pan fishing is all 4lb mono. don't like the braid hardwater fishing.
I am watching about 300 gulls going nuts on the shad right now. later...
-
I operate on the kiss principle. Suffix 6 lb. test clear mono. Gasp, did he say mono? ;D
-
I have been using 4 lb fire line for years for iceing eyes ,not an out side cold weather line , and when ice fishing for the double digit eyes i jump up to 6 lb open water trolling i use 8 lb , for jigging i like high vis power pro ,snag turned me on to that nice stuff , for leader i like trans optic , just this ol buzzards choices

Doesn't the know get caught in the eyes of your rod to a certain expent ? That has been my experience.
-
I meant to say knot, not Know in my previous post. My typing sucks.
-
double uni flows right through the guides , and my typing sucks 2
-
I have the hardest time tying the double uni. Is that your experience and does it hold ?
-
Doesn't the know get caught in the eyes of your rod to a certain expent ? That has been my experience.
I use 7-8 foot rods, and small diameter line (4-6 lb test). The knot doesn't hinder my casts. With this equipment I'm usually throwing 3/8 - 3/4 oz lures. A 3/4 oz lure on an 8 foot rod will fly if you're using rope for line. :D I retie frequently, so the leaders get short quick.
double uni flows right through the guides
;)
-
Thanks for the replies. Now, on a different note, I noticed the lack of shore casting results posted recently. Does this mean they are not biting and no one is fishing ? Driving by the lake at night the normal spots where I see an abundance of cars/trucks there are virtually none.
Thanks
-

I tie the line together using two improved clinch knots (my version). My version of the improved clinch knot is very close to the uni-knot (see below). They hold very well.

I use 4 twists to keep the knot small.

There are ALWAYS hungry walleye in Oneida Lake, you just have to find them. My fall fishing has been on the decline for the past 5 years. I'm lucky if I get out 2-3 times in the fall now. The fish are there, give it a try.
-

thats funny cause it's the only one i can tie due to missing a couple of digits , it holds great

The last couple of weeks they have definitely slowed down some. But, as Otis said, there are always fish biting somewhere. Last Friday i was at one spot casting my arms off and didn't get a bite. I made a move and ran into a couple of those d**n NST's and they had 5 nice fish. They were in the right place, at the right time and caught some fish. I've been out the last 3 nights and have caught 1 fish. Guess what though, I'll be out again tonight. As a friend of mine says, you've got to be in it to win it! 8)

I had a uni-to-uni fail last summer. But it was on a freight train salmon (on the lake). I had tightened the drag down in the middle of an initial run. :w00t:

I use fireline with no leader and usually never have a problem for open water fishing on oneida. Been fishing that way for a few years. I use mono or fireline with mono leader for ice :tipup:

We hit the east shore last night and couldn't find a bite. We did see a slammer buck (120+) hit by a car just north of Oneida.

Last night was the perfect example of fish biting somewhere. You fished east, Coach fished North and I fished west. All zeroes. A couple of buddies of mine fished a south shore spot and both limited. I'm going there tonight to fish with them so they're screwed. I seem to be a walleye repellent lately. ;D

I guess Spanky and I are going to have to make our annual trip to the south shore, sometime within the next week... to see if we can bag a few of those south shore eyes. ;D Even though they run a little smaller and don't put up much of a fight. :P Don't worry you will hear us coming!! Spanky likes to make a lot of noise. :w00t: unless we go into stealth mode, then we wear are NST hats so you will see us coming ;)

Fished off the north shore for a few hours midday today. Oh wait, it's not ice fishing time yet. :w00t:
I did get out in the boat for a few hours midday. I anchored and used my ice fishing pole. That was fun, almost as good as the real thing....almost.

Tried something different with some perch fillets... stuffed pint jars full of fillets, a little kosher salt & a lemon wedge & canned them. Not bad ;D... now along with the canned venison for ice fishing we'll have canned perch too...canned redneck surf & turf, on ice, baby 8)

Attention all Anglers, There is a man posing as a DEC officer, I was fishing tonight and he came up in a red pickup truck and got out and he was dressed in a DEC officer uniform which now i know he must of stole it or he was a former officer, he came up to me and asked me for my fishing lics and i showed him and then he asked me to see my drivers lic so i showed it to him and he wrote all my information down and then he asked me for my social security number and at that point i knew something was going on so i said hold on let me call my wife and get it, but instead of calling my wife i dialed 911 and he must of knew because he ran away and luckly droped the piece of paper that had all my information down, He has a black Beard thats short like a gotaee and his first three of his lics plate is YDF.

My question, did the "posing as a ECO" really happen ? The person stating this has had only 9 posts, also he has not answered some of your questions !! Fellow anglers, after 34 years in law enforcement I have found that all incidents may not be real. If it did happen, it most likely will happen again, said ECO impost-er will be caught if they continue, it is a serious crime !! On another note : As a Oneida angler (June & July), please leave me some "eye's" for next summer !! Do enjoy your posts !! JTP

I guess. I just read the posts for fishing information as I thought that is what this is all about. Crazy brotherhood ? I got no problem with that only you rarely speak about fishing and its this back and forth banter that is rediculous.

uhhhh theres 2 other threads on the first page on walleye fishing that have been kept to simple fishing info.
might I humbly suggest you read those, & if you don't find any humor or use on this thread DON'T READ IT!
I personally have no interest in jet skis & the funny thing about the web is I don't have to click on pages about jetskis. Geez its real rocket science.

No, I like the site and the fishing threads. Plus I have every right to be here as you do. I love fishing like you all do and enjoy reading about local lakes. I didn't realize this Die Hards thread was for friendly banter, so my mistake. The only problem is the other threads on this board are full of this banter also. If someone (Tugger) tries to start his own thread all of you immediately get on it and undermine it to the best of your ability. I started to only read them but quickly realized the HST or whatever you guys call yourselves do not like it. This is more like a facebook page than a fishing site.

sorry Lund One your not having any fun here but to just point out 2 facts ,first when we are out fishing we make a report , and this came to my attention i just checked out the Oneida Lake reports page and guess what , the last report was on April 22 , and on IS you will get a lot more of the same stuff with a report daily on conditions , we try to have fun but if nobody is fishing or catching how can there be a report ??? , sorry bud, this might change your mind (https://www.myfishfinder.com/fishing_forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi256.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fhh190%2Ffiletandrelease%2Fundermyspell.gif&hash=b488fa72632f6f6f04761232bff428f5) PS ok guys lets stick to these 2 sites and leave the others alone so they can trade thier info , the ol buzzard has spoken or was it release :flex:

i'll cover for you Lund one, I totally agree with you. as others do but will not acknowledge it cause they don't want to get put down on their site. their are to many of these guys to argue with and they are all buddies. a few exceptions, like FM. anyway i will keep reading the post and make some facebooks friends. we can always click to the next post. I am used to it, some of the posts make me laugh. i also get a lot of knowledge from these guys. I agree with you about if someone starts a new thread, they will tear you up. i just try not to take it personally and move on to the next post.

The regulars on this thread have ALL posted reports when they have them (or when they feel like it) and pics too. They also bs a bit (or, quite a bit ;D) Whats interesting is to read through the posts of those complaining about the lack of reports... you guessed it...nearly NEVER a report. Put up or shut up.

And by the way.... the perch are still hitting well on fatheads... ;D

perch are hitting good. once you find 'em hang on. they're in BIG packs!
-
Nice pile Tom. They can't hide from you.
Myself, I enjoy reading this thread. When the fish are hitting ... reports are made. Most of the guys on here have coached many other guys and helped them get bit. When there is down-time... there is BS, but it's still fun to read, especially if you are familiar with the different personalities of the BS'ers.
Just take FiletandRelease for instance ... the "president". I'm glad to know him, and he really is crazier than a pet coon. :w00t: :w00t:
Read his posts. He helps anyone when he can, BS's when he wants to, and throws a report out there almost every trip he makes. If you ain't into that kind of thing ... then you are reading the wrong thread.

Da%& hollywood, the dog must be a heck of a captain! Why aren't there mpre reports from the fish whisperer canine?
If the dog wont give up the details than this thread is meaningless.......... ::)

Maybe those complaining aren't posting cause they aren't catching......... thats why they're so cranky.
Hows the ice?

Hey Hollywood.....I saw your boat out a couple times last week....I would have never recognized it if it werent for your little mascot. I saw this little dog watching over your crew....and I thought thats Hollywood I know that little dog! haha.....anyways did very well with the perch last week out deep on fat heads and "daytime sonars" haha.....I also did very well at night taking my limit of eyes on the east end all 4 nights out. No too bad considering I went 2 weeks without a fish!! Planning to get out Friday for perch.....but focusing on filling more deer tags these next couple days. Good luck to all.....and Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! :)

I saw this little dog watching over your crew....and I thought thats Hollywood I know that little dog! haha.....anyways did very well with the perch last week out deep on fat heads and "daytime sonars" haha.....I also did very well at night taking my limit of eyes on the east end all 4 nights out. No too bad considering I went 2 weeks without a fish!! Planning to get out Friday for perch.....but focusing on filling more deer tags these next couple days. Good luck to all.....and Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! :)
NICELY done, omg great report , i'm a knot head i put my boat up a little to soon O well ice is coming :thumbup_smilie:, and that day time sonar is great

"little mascot"? Man....I'll do you a favor and not tell him you said that (I just hope he doesn't read this) he's killed for less than that... ;)
Glad to hear you're hitting them... it's been a great fall. With the mid lake shad buffet about to be shut down I expect the shore bite to really explode here the next couple weeks. I haven't waded once yet... been too busy...that's gonna change!

Hollywood :bowdown: :bowdown: you are kicking it with perch

Da%& hollywood, the dog must be a heck of a captain! Why aren't there mpre reports from the fish whisperer canine?
If the dog wont give up the details than this thread is meaningless.......... ::)
::)
Maybe those complaining aren't posting cause they aren't catching......... thats why they're so cranky.
Hows the ice?
Oh, I'm catching. As a matter of fact I pm'd two of the moderators for diections on how to post pics. No reply.

I have no idea how to post pics as I don't have a phone, that takes pics, or a digital camera (we do have one but I have no idea how to use it ;D). I did however copy down the following directions one time when I thought about trying to learn. No idea if they work.
Create an account with Photobucket.com or another photo website. On Photobucket, go to "My Albums." In the top right corner, under "Upload Images and Photos" is a tiny box that says,"Reduce to." Make sure you choose "640 x 480 (Large)." This makes sure the photos are not too big or small.
You can then upload photos to the sight by clicking on "Choose Files." You can upload one at a time or multiples by highlighting your files with the "Ctrl" button on your keyboard.
When all your files are uploaded, put your cursor on the picture you want to display. Hold your cursor over the photo, and four "links" will drop down under the photo. Left click on the last link to the right of "IMG Code." This will highlight the link. Then right click on the highlighted section to copy it. Now go to the thread on myfishfinder.com. Under the last post, right click your mouse and then click "Paste." You can then type in your comments above or below the link to your photo.
Good luck!

Don't worry slammy, i'm in a waldo slump, my last 2 trips on my boat in july I got 2 eyes and the 2 days I made it down to sylvan this fall I got 2, thats horrible, hope my ice fishin is better.

that means i have a chance around you 2 , but i think you 2 are going to sand bag me , slammy ready for a round of tip ups verses jigs, snag and i are down 1 already i think a rematch is in order

You guys lost to tip-ups?!?! Were ya sleeping?
2 of my favorite sayings - "friends dont let friends use tip-ups" and "I'd rather watch nascar with toothpicks in my eyes than use tip-ups, and I hate nascar"

i want in on the Jigs versus tip up challenge. i have put a few eyes on the ice in my time ::) ::) ::) you want some of this DC ;D ;D ;D

Of the 1,873 times we have fished Oneida ::), I can remember one time saying to Tank - "those guys are doing prety well on tip-ups"...
We had 30-40 perch each by then but oh well... ;D

I'm ready. I still can't figure out why those fish wanted tip ups over anything else, never seen anything like it, must have been the one in 1873 times it occurs? I have a new shore access spot over that way for early ice that might be good. Although, I think snagger already has his plan of attack for the north shore figured out, it will be hard to get him over here especially after his haul from last year.
-
I have seen on other lakes how sometimes tipups just outfish jigging...but not often...and lets be honest, jigging is 100x more fun than tip ups...
-
DC
love your reference to nascar -- man after my own hart..
fished with you a bit in the past with the infamous Tony B, been out of the game a while due to the economy however..

Settle down Chief, ice is on the way.
Here is my take, for walleyes I would NEVER use tip-ups. From my limited experience, once in a great while you might do better with tip-ups for eyes. Now perch on the other hand, I think it could be a challenge. I have even been tempted to try tip-downs. It could lead to a faster perch limit. However, when they are hitting as fast as you can drop your lure to bottom, who wants to mess with minnows???

I'm an old tip-up fisherman from way back. Heck ... I cut my first tooth on a tip-up. It is what we did growing up in Tupper Lake. We fished Northerns with tip-ups (still do), and that was all I knew.
Nowadays it's a different story. I've been converted to a jig fisherman. But ... there are times that the 'ol tip-ups have made a difference for me. When the action isn't quite so hot, I'll put my 5 out. I spread them out pretty good. When I get a flag or two at the same hole ... I jig that hole. Found lots of good action this way, and it will usually help add a few bonus fish at a minimum.
The above works well for perch, but I haven't really ever slammed the eyes on tip-ups. Got a few, but not many.
Why are we talking about ice fishing anyways??????? The perch are biting on the soft water!!

Woke up to 31 degrees this morning and whitecaps on the lake. Wanted to get my girlfriend on some fish before we wrap things up. Got out to the hole and had a rough time for a few hours. Drift was too fast, even with the sock out. Kept slipping anchor. Finally, the wind settled a bit, and I got the anchor to grab... Then it was fun! Great Thanksgiving Morning.

Very, very nice pile of perch! Thanks for the water temp report also. Do you vacuum seal those filets bound for the freezer? I got a vacuum sealer last year to try out and the 'eyes taste just about fresh caught after months in the freezer. Used to freeze in water but it takes up lots of room in the freezer. Again, very nice job on those hog perch.

Yeah ... sometimes I do vacuum seal them. I had a foodsaver that I bought when they first came out, and it finally bit the dust, so I got a new one and it pulls a better vacuum and seals the bag a whole lot better.
I also do a trick that keeps 'em fresh for a long time. Put your filets in a ziplock bag. Cover them with water. Close the ziplock, but leave a 1/2 inch un-sealed. Turn the bag so that the un-sealed corner is pointing straight up. Now, squeeze out all the water and air, and seal the last 1/2 inch shut without letting any air back in. If you do it right, there will be a vacuum on the bag, and any spaces in between the filets are covered by the little bit of water that is left. No air = No freezer burn.
It is a spin-off of a trick the old-timers do with their smelts and bullhead up in Tupper Lake. They stack their fish in a cut-off cardboard milk jug and fill it with water, freezing their fish in a block of ice. Works. Some guys even do it with their venison.

My report for the day....while working on the north shore today, I saw hundreds of geese and ducks, a nice breeze from the east, the same fisherman who have been camped at the same spot for the 2nd week in a row, a couple eagles hovering and fishing the very spot the fishermen were fishing. Worked in my tee shirt for a few hours, then the sky filled up with clouds, got windy and the rain started. The sky WAS blue, the water is wet and the grass is still green....for now!! ;) Titelines!!--KP 8)

There are fish being caught, just not in Sylvan Beach. I would plan on hitting the North and/or South shores if you venturing out this far.

nothing going on at the south west or north west shore either.

I saw an 8 point I passed on... as well as 16 other deer we didn't shoot... I think the herd will be ok less the 3 we took... because I know we only saw a fraction of what's there.
Sounds like the population will squeak by ;D
I am curious how you do this canned venison thing.

Good job man. I've been lazy the last couple of nights. Hopefully Hollywood's words, which are etched in stone, are coming true. ;) ;D

Hopefully, Hollywood's prediction is coming true.
Prediction? ??? Dude....37 fall seasons on this lake... you'd have to be brain dead not to notice a pattern or 2... ;D

Taking a quick break from canning the 3 nice does hanging in the shed this morning ;D
They were on the move before the front last night.
Tom, That brings back some memories! After watching my Mother and then another elderly lady friend of the family(both of whom have passed on) can much deer meat, I decided to try and can some a few years ago. Well, I didn't pack the jars (quart) and wound up with 1/2 filled jars with some of the meat sticking up above the liquid. It was ok to eat but I used it up fairly fast ...wasn't sure how it would keep like that...another lesson learned...why do these things always happen to me!? LOL! We usually just added a little salt and a couple of cloves of garlic but I like your mex recipe and will try it this year. I may try pint jars also as you can pack a lot of meat into those quarts. Thanks for sharing!

Oh yes, done correctly, it will keep for several years. I didn't pack the jars (quart) tightly so the meat settled to about half a jar or less when done...some of the meat was above the broth line. Didn't know if that would affect the meat over a long period of time??? so we used it up rather quickly.
-
I used to can venison a lot... then got too busy with kids, etc... The jars I used I've had a long time. I've always kept enough jars in the attic to can whatever meat I have in the freezer, in case there's no power. I was without power for almost 2 weeks after the Labor day storm years back. Fortunately, I had family & friends that took & kept my meat from going bad, but it got me thinking about what would happen if we were ALL without power for a few days or a week. I decided I'd rather spend the time canning the food I have in that situation than slowly watch it rot & put everything I needed to do so in the attic (with instructions taped on top, in case I wasn't there, the kids or someone could do it, if they chose to.) If we have a bad situation come down, I want to be the LAST person they show on TV b!t(hin' about how the "gub'mint" didn't come save my butt quickly & comfortably enough. I tried canning a batch of pints of some of the perch we've gotten lately... GOOD stuff... Mix it with mayo, horseradish mustard, minced onion & a little pepper... killer sammies! 8)

At this point I do not want anything made from turkey, I think I ate like 5 pounds of it myself in the last week. No more ham either, I need something else, leftovers are great, but I need a fish dinner or a steak today.

You'll do better at dusk & after... there should be fish in shallow in that area by now but I haven't been over that way. You could try casting off of Oneida shores park in that area too.

all those areas are not doing anything, but hey you never know. they are for sure not going to tell you to fish the north shore, that is owned by the N.S.T...............actually they wish. so try oneida shores, north and south fishing access @ the Route 81 bridge and good luck!

I really couldn't tell you how many fish we got today, except to say I know we were in triple digits. We had many doubles and all you had to do if you dropped one was drop down & hook another. A flock of snow geese came in at dusk... never saw or heard anything like it, there were thousands if not 10,000 birds. They were a couple miles from us but the sound was still deafening (and this from a half deaf guy!) All in all, just a great day on Oneida with a great guy-
Thanks Jim!

man that dog looks thrilled ::) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Nice job fellas!!! :clapping:
Good thing I haven't put the boat away yet, maybe I can squeak in one more trip. ;D

What an amazing day. I was all set to get out there alone and see if I could find 'em. As I slipped my phone in my pocket at 7:22 a.m., I noticed that I missed a couple calls from Hollywood. When I called him back, he said that he was thinking about hitting the lake too ... and would I like some company??. Perfect.... let's go get 'em...
He had been out yesterday and tore into 'em pretty good, so we had a great place to start. Once we got there, there was no mistake that we were in the right spot. The graph lit up like a Christmas tree. After that it was all yankin' and crankin'. Like Tom said, you could drop two or three fish on the same cast, and still stick one good before the sonar made it back to the boat. For a while, we were hooking up on every cast.
I know we put 100 walleyes in the boat ... and that's being conservative. Three or four of them being my biggest walleyes of the year. Tom had a 6 lb. + bruiser take him for a walk around the boat before spitting the sonar back at him. I had 34 bonus perch in the bucket, and Tom probably had just as many.
Towards the end, Tom was fighting his upmteenth walleye. I looked up just in time to see his line go slack. He looked at me and says "I lost him ... Good!" LoL. You know it's time to go home when you are glad you lost one so you don't have to take it off the hook.
Tom - Thanks for a great day buddy. I had an absolute blast

Coach... It's hard to believe how many fish are piled up out deep still. The shad are quickly going away so they should make the move soon, hopefully it won't be too late by then. I spent a LOT of years in waders with no boat... I get how frustrating it is when they just don't show up... but most years, in the fall, a guy in waders at night actually has the advantage over the guys in a boat, IMO, anyway. A lot of the fish we caught yesterday were spitting up sand pike, I'm not positive about it but I don't think sand pike hang out in 40 fow... if not... these fish were going shallow to feed & back deep to hang out. Who the heck knows though? I get all these theories in my head about what the fish are doing & why... I'm sure if I knew what was REALLY going on & why I'd get a good laugh at my theories. Oh well, it keeps me entertained and off probation so what's the harm? ;D

Do it Bro... You won't be sorry.
Dejavu all over again? Remember last fall...that was epic!

Great day! Congrats to you guys...sounds like the best time to be out there is when everone else is packed up for winter and hunting...

Nice job Jim and Tom! You guys really put the smack down on 'em! I probably won't make the show Saturday...had 21 doe and a little 4 pointer in the field yesterday afternoon so it's time to put a couple of those gals in the freezer...that's what I'll be doin Saturday...maybe send a pic or short video to FM's phone saying hello to everyone and remind everybody just what beauty is! :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: :rotflol: :rotflol: :rotflol: :rotflol: :rotflol:Oh God...my side!!!

It's just a boat bite right now Lance, and we are nuts enough to leave our boats in. They are hanging out in 40 fow ... thick ... perch too. The bait was right there with them, but it is thinning out. Tom thinks that they will soon start following the bait migrating to the shallower water as the temp drops. It will be a cool thing to keep track of, as we are watching water temps pretty closely. Mid-lake temps were 39.8 at the end of the day on Monday. Who knows what it is 40 feet down, though. We had a couple of eyes puke sand-pike too. Where the heck did they get those?

nice job guys i put mine up to early shame on me , but i'm glad to see your doing well , come ice season i have some catching up to do

Thanks for the updates Hookinup. Great job on the mid lake bonanza! Is it always like that out there this time of year? Im guessing not, since the shore bite is usually hot for few weeks now. Curious though. I heard the north shore is thick with dead shad. Last night I saw a few huge pods of barely alive shad on the southwest shore. Im thinking with the recent east winds the warmer water and the surviving shad were blown that way. It will be interesting to see if the shore bite picks up this late in the year or if they will just hang deep for the winter. Thank goodness for the first two weeks of october or i would be looking at empty freezer shelves. But i'm telling that to the guy who caught more eyes in a half hour than I've gotten in 2 months :P Again, great pics!

Good info. Jim. Thanks for the update on mid lake water temps and bait fish patterns you guys are seeing out there. I'll do my best to keep everyone updated on the shoreline action also.....Although I never check water temp when shore fishing. Till she locks up that is.

SS Spanky is all winterized and parked under the lean to also. Dang it......Allthough....she is an easy little boat to pull out for one or two last ventures. ;D

temp was 36 on the shore in muskrat bay before the warm up. seeing alot of dead shad here to. the shore bite isn't good here at all. i've only caught 2 walleyes this fall !! last year at this time I had caught 52. Can't wait for hard water !!! I think it's going to be a good perch year. later...
-
Had similar results on the north shore just opposite you (sully) this fall. Best night was 8 hooked, 6 fought, and 5 landed. And that was the only night I limited. Granted, I didn't make it out as often as last year, but even on these less frequent trips, I saw many less glowing eyeballs on the bottom than in years past. And still incredible amount of baits... now the buckeyes moved in to take the place of the dying shad.... populations as big or bigger than the shad were this fall....

I'm with you fishooksul, last year I just really started fishing for fall walleye and i hooked onto about 30 -35. This year to date I have caught 8 walleye. you can see why I am confused but I have learned quite a bit. next year, will probably be getting a sized boat for oneida lake and not my 14' lund with a 9.9 horse for just the calm days.

Yeah I wouldn't want to be in a 14fter this time of year either ! I've got a 14ft duanaughtic with a 25hp johnson, and put it away by nov. 1st. I used to break ice every year with the 21fter, but now i can't afford to break it now. had a frozen exaust manifold more than once !! sully...

Simply silly out there again tonight 8) 39.9 degree's where I was over 34-40 fow.... sonar still gettin' it done.

Is the fishing access and boat launch still open at lewis point on the south shore?

They have a parking lot where you can walk or sled to the lake but the point is private now with a big gate.

The fish are chewin' out there boys!! Gotta hunt 'em down, but once you do... hang on!!
Lots and lots and lots of 14 inch walleyes out there. Almost every cast sometimes. Ended up emptying the minnow bucket with my girlfriend on a school of perch the size of a football field.
And ... I ran into the dynamic duo!! Nothin's safe when these two birds get together!!

Well the walleye fishing was just as advertised by Hollywood and HOOKINUP today.
I poked around looking for eyes in several spots with nothing to show for it. Then I made a big move and it was worth it.
Caught a bunch of eyes, mostly shorts but several keepers too. There were a few stretches of hits on every cast for several casts. I hardly ever fish with a sonar. Today was a great day to get some confidence with it.
Just a great day!

Good job Brotha!! Crazy ... ain't it??
Got back out there again in the late morning and beat up on 'em some more. I left just in time to go get in the treestand. Should've stayed on the lake. It's way past addiction at this point. It's obsession!! :w00t:

Great Job on all the recent fishing adventures Hookin up, Hollywood and Reeleyz you guys are really putting filets in the freezer...all the hunting stuff is put away for me...just waiting for ice...with this weather you can almost leave the boat out all year... 8)

Wow , you guys are on them ... :bowdown: :thumbup_smilie:

what technique are you guys using. casting stick baits to structure near sure? or is it jigging mid lake humps? what kind of depth or structure should i look for? thanks in advance

Congrats reeleyz! Glad you got into them... it takes some looking around (like any other time of year) but once you locate some, the concentration of fish is incredible compared to other times of the year.

Freddie - I put her on my little Harbor Freight digital scale. She weighed in at 1.496 pounds. A little lighter than I thought.
I was talking with Hollywood about this crazy bite. We've been spoiled. It's gonna make the ice fishing feel like a lot of work. I can already envision huge mobs of ice vultures chasing Snagger around ... LoL >:(

Thats why I called it a jack, it was thin.

It might be a jack. Not sure yet. I have it wrapped in the freezer. Been messing with doing a little of my own taxidermy, and I'm having fun with that. My cousin up in Tupper does an amazing job with fish, especially perch, walleyes and Northerns, but he went through a nasty divorce and got out of it for a while. I have a new compressor and airbrush, and I'm going to go up and get a few lessons. It's fun, but time consuming.
I did have a couple 13+ inch Jacks in the mix.
-
Impressive catches Hookinup and Hollywood. I'm going with a Jill on that perch. Don't see hardly any break 14" out of Oneida.

Yeah ... The more I look at it, I think you are right.

thanks Jim i would have thought it might have weighed more but i forget it is only Dec. now in march, be a whole lot heavier but 1.5 is still a great weight, well at least when we get out after them we won't have that problem with being spoiled ;)

We called everything down there jackperch once they reached a certain size, they got a weird big hump in there backs down there once they got big, not bullgy like oneidas slobs... I still got a personal best eye in my freezer from 4 yrs ago Jim if you get good at taxidermy.

I got a report of some limit catches this week from shore right at dusk. Maybe it's worth a last try before the ice chunks start forming.
I dropped a bill on some secret ice lures from overseas this week, plus I have a snowmobile that I bought last year that never saw the ice. I got a lot of money riding on this, freeking lake better freeze this year. If anybody comes across a decent aluminum or galvanized snowmobile trailer shoot me a pm. My chinese harbor freight trailer is going fast.

Gave it one more go around today. Took icecutter out there with me thinking we were going to have our way with the Waldos....WRONG!!! We struggled to find any eyes that wanted to bite or even mark many eyes. We finally found a good pod of fish but they didn't want to play.
Icecutter had to be home early so I dropped him off and I headed back out for redemption. I was hoping the night bite would be good and it was. Managed to boat a bunch of eyes, a few keepers and some perch. All on a gold sonar.
I need a nap! ;D

Dealing with day #2 of the flu. Freakin brutal. Every muscle, even every hair on my body hurt. Nothin like having 32 tooth aches at once either. :sick:
But......
My fever broke and my muscles don't hurt now ......
Gonna give it a final go tomorrow ... I think.
What do ya say we go try to pierce some lips tomorrow Hollywood??
-
Well... against better judgement... I pierced some today ;D
I HAD to try those new blades, ran to yesterday's drift but it was pretty bare, got a couple shorts on the new blade before switching to ol' faithful & getting several more. It was pretty snotty out there... I had no company ;D On the way back (got stuff going on this afternoon) I found the bottom I was looking for and got 3 keepers in 7 casts... threw a few more back then called it a day.
I'll call you later Hookinup... hope you're on the mend!

Took a quick trip to the pier just now to see if anybody was home. No hits, runs or errors but... still nice on 12/18 to just go take a few casts.

I got the boat all cleaned up and put away this morning. :'(
It was the best year I have had in a long long time. Splash down on Oneida was 3/12 and my last trip was 12/15. I even caught a keeper eye on every single boat trip, not one skunk! That will be tough to repeat. ;D

I think he would try to prove you wrong, he might be able to get 4 hits in a 3 hit spot. I have seen him in action on a slow day. How many holes do you think he would drill on a 3 bite day?

72!!! :w00t: :thumbup_smilie: :flag:

72!!! :w00t: :thumbup_smilie: :flag:
at least , between listening to release all day and drilling holes ,I would have to send up flares so he could find his way back to the truck ;D
-
If release drilled 72 in a day, he'd love a power auger ;)
-
Or he would make filet drill 36 and he'd drill 36, :D
-
If release drilled 72 in a day, he'd love a power auger ;)
hes got a 8" strike master but I'm not allowed to use it until the ice gets over 16" ,if there is any hand drilling to be done don't think release is going to do anything but soak up some heat and wait till the holes are cleaned and ready to fish geeze

and that's why i hang out with Release, he's smarter than you think :laugh: "are our holes ready yet!""hurry up Filet.. if you move any faster you would be going backwards"... "what do mean you want a break... you got a break when we hired ya" ;D

HIRED!? Ayyy. Ice 3"-10"=$1 per hole...11" -15" $1.75 per hole...over 15" is $2.50 per hole...initial cleaning of hole = $0.50!!! :w00t: :thumbup_smilie: :flag:

Question, that only you true Oneida Lake Diehards could answer. I am coming in to Syracuse from Buffalo on Christmas day. Will have some time to kill at the inlaws!! Will there be any open water still?? Is there still a bite for nite walleye? All I know about Oneida is which side is the North shore (ha ha). Dont know if I need a permit from you guys to fish on that side? Any advise would help. We have about 1" of snow here in Orchard Park. Happy Holidays to all.

There is open water now, although the bite is slow you can always find some shoreline cruisers. Can't guarantee that it will still be open on X-mas day. No permit needed, but you might wanna wear a hat. ;D

Forecasts shown nothing above freezing for a while after Tuesday. That is good but you need some 0`s to get some good ice started.. need to get her froze over before the water gets too cold.. Hope you all have a good season.. For me it is back to chasing the big old Fl. Black Bass for a few months..
I`ll know when there is ice as you fellows will be switching over to iceshanty...

Merry Christmas everyone
had a lovely drive around the end of the lake this morning on the way into work, seeing a lot of bays and marinas starting to skim over wont be long now. haven't been on here much with the new job but last few weeks have been good for me I've been out a lot along the shore my new job takes me down the north shore and around tru the beach so lots of stops to take a few cast on the way home each night. lately just been stopping and using the light have managed at lest one keeper each night for the last 2 weeks, looks like this week may be the last for stopping along the shore hope to see a few of ya out on the ice soon. ;D
-
nice glad you could spank a few eyes , now get the short rods ready ;)
-
there is ice as far as i can see !!! it won't last with all the snow coming. it needs to get a little colder. sully...

Not to mention the wind tonight... which will rip her apart...

Weatherman is wrong.

Hopefully we don't get a bunch of milk-ice out of this. We need a better base.

I don't think we will, with the 30 mph north wind we have right now, but if it does lock up with the snow, it's going to be dangerous. sully...
-
I stand corrected !! it's all snow ice !! sully...
-
Never lost the clear ice in the back of Johnson's Bay last night... too bad its all covered by a foot of snow now. Was open from Johnson's Marina across to Wedgeworth last night... too dark to see before I left this AM.
-
I stand corrected !! it's all snow ice !! sully...
Man .. that sucks. I'd rather it opens back up, and we could start over with some black ice. That snow-ice base will haunt us!!

TV's 'Ghost Hunters' find 'significant' paranormal activity at Sylvan Beach...
Syracuse, NY -- The team from the SyFy channel's "Ghost Hunters" spent a week at Sylvan Beach amusement park and Yesterday's Royal restaurant-hotel and what they found was apparently scary.
Scary enough to conjure up episodes for the popular paranormal activity program on the cable channel.
"They were here Sept. 10-18, combing the property inside out, day and night, interviewing employees past and current and other folks,'' said Doug Waterbury, whose company owns both attractions. "They revealed significant activity."
Waterbury said the team from The Atlantic Paranormal Society, or TAPS, spent several overnights on the properties, digitally recording their findings.
"They put in quite an effort and found interesting results,'' said Waterbury. "They confirmed things that had been observed there over the years.
"We’ve had for decades reports of all kinds of ghost sightings and other paranormal activities in Sylvan Beach amusement park and Yesterday’s Royal."
Waterbury said he felt it was time to "co-exist" with any entities.
"Whether you're on the side of the believers or folks who think this is hogwash, we felt it was an opportunity we needed to delve into," said Waterbury.
