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.
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...
What's a big cat fish for Oneida lake? I cought a 30" one Friday morning
