ONEIDA LAKE DIEHARDS THREAD 2012

[drowndin dots]

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!!



Fatheads .... deep.

Yaaaaa Buddy

I for one am thankfull to have such a great lake so close, even if she can be such a cruel pia sometimes tp figure out. 
Now to spend the rest of the day with family, eat too much, drink a few beers, & watch 9hrs of football, while hopefully sneaking in a run to the north shore with one of my boys.

Happy Turkey Day!
