Not saying its not possable but i have fished Seneca lake for 45 years never heard of anybody catching a walleye... never caught a sturgeon either but at least I have heard of them.

Oneida is just a great all around lake. Can't go wrong there.

I worked at the Oneida Hatchery last spring,The largest Walleye we did that day was about 7lbs,I'm sure there are much bigger ones. The High numbers and quality of the walleyes I did see was amazing.Giving the care they take and the return of fry they produce, It will be a great fishery for yrs to come.If you want hogs go to the bay of Quinte Not to far from NY Its hard to catch one under 8lbs.I find that the 18-22" size make for some good table fair.Oneida is loaded with them

As far as numbers Oneida. If you want a pig my guess is erie... but haven't had a chance to fish there. Maybe this year.

i seen in the last few years size is getting bigger in Oneida i believe do to guys tossing fish over 20" back and keeping the smaller ones , since they lowered the size limit from 18" to 15 "it has taken a lot of pressure off the larger ones i try and keep the ones to eat 16"-18" and many of my fishing buds do the same

Bays of the st Lawrence But as for lake. Size and numbers go to Champlain. Followed by the not so dead sea

Are you referring the the Inland Sea on Champlain as the Dead Sea, or is that your 3rd body of water in ny that you prefer?

I gotch ya, thanks. Champlain does have some nice Walleye and Vermonters offer refer to the "Island Sea" as the "Dead Sea" but it often produces large eyes.

My favorite place in NY to fish for eyes would have to be the bays of the Eastern Basin, Chaumont,Black River and Mud when they freeze good.

For being a smaller lake honeoye has a crap load of walleye in it (mostly because of the DEC stocking efforts although my teacher at FLCC and head of the original program to sample for walleyes John Foust says they have found signs of some spawning in the lake) and people who know what they are doing catch quite a few and some big ones at that. Guy caught a 10lber in a tourney I was at a few years ago

I'm up at FLCC also man. John Foust sure knows what he is talking about.

For a trophy walleye nothing beats the bays of lake Ontario for large eyes. I don't keep them but man you can get some slobs.

Oneida for keeper eyes for the table hands down.

trapper2000 · « **Reply #53 on:** Dec 12, 2013, 10:56 AM »

like eatting fish ....oneida ...bang slob perch right along with the eyes

bosco2 · « **Reply #54 on:** Dec 12, 2013, 11:35 AM »

Honeoye is packed with them. Finding them, getting them to bite, and staying on them is another thing altogether. It's a dishpan lake with next to no structure. When I've targeted walley exclusively on Honeoye I've been disappointed. Now I go to Honeoye for perch but I go extra early and get a tip-down spread, jigging holes, and extra holes drilled before sun-up. I get an occassional walleye just before daybreak. I've never iced 2 walleye in any one day of ice fishing there. I've no doubt there's guys who target them and do well there. I'm just not one of them.
