ONEIDA LAKE DIEHARDS

[mcully]

There isn't anyone out of Chapman or Sylvan Beach on the cameras now. Anyone able to report on how the shore and main sheet have faired through rain and wind? Thanks.

Not many ice reports this time year as it changes too fast. I can say I saw ice to the ramp at SS yesterday before the rain and wind later in the day. Didn't set foot on it just ate a slice in the empty lot.

Thanks for the pics F & R... pictures are worth a thousand words!

[oneida1]

hope to get at least 2 more days tmrw and thurseday,,,im sure theres some hazards out there gas holes open cracks etc.. areas of shore may be sketchy but the main sheet should be ok for next few days,,, but thats just my thoughts use cause this time of year late ice is worse then early ice imo...

[filetandrelease]

 I agree Oneida 1 late ice is a little trickier

[2muchleft]

I would also like to thank all you local diehards for the reports and observations that you share on here.  Much appreciated!  Think we'll have a chance at some shore fishing soon back here in Rochester.  Till next year.

BULLHEADSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

  Best part about mud season is mister wiskers getting hungry. I got 4 this past week thru the ice so he's definatly ready for some warm water. I'm looking at tomorrow and hoping once more after that. I think this ice will be gone soon.

You to KP for all the reports and banter, LMFAO!   

[KingPerch]

Thanks to everyone for the reports and conditions, fish pics and stories, Trapper for his sarcasm and words of wisdom!! 😜

I’m going to put in one more trip on Oneida before I head north for a few trips. Be safe everyone and use a spud if you venture out. 🎣

Thanks sawdust…. I’m usually good for a few reports and a bunch of banter!!!! 😜 my inner guy likes to step in from time to time!!🤣

[DeadEyez]

Definitely good to talk to everyone on here this season! Had a good time! My gear is ready to be put up. I can’t get on the ice where I’m at on the north shore and don’t really wanna travel around looking for access as the freezer is stocked up. Good luck and stay safe to anyone who ventures out. Still have the snowmobile at the ready to do a little riding incase we get dumped on one more time though 😜

Apps Landing..

Just wanted to give props to the people at Apps. Myself and a couple of friends entered last weekends 2 day walleye tournament and all managed to finish in the money. The tourney was well run and the folks at the bait shop were some great people.

Thank you...

watching the cam  someone just walked out on sylvan beach

[filetandrelease]

 Every year the beach is the last shot

[reeleyz]

There were a few people out yesterday off the north shore. My normal access is in rough shape. It will take a little "undercarraige wash" as Fred likes to say.

[filetandrelease]

Bruce your use to a little water skipping 👍
 I only rinsed  mine once this season 😃

[trapper2000]

fred  you know  where i'm  fishing  but i  keep a  eye  on the  big  O   nice  perch this  year  and of  course  the  eyes are there to bad  it's  looking  rather  grim ...... 

[mcully]

Onondaga opened up yesterday. Funny how fast it goes back to being a lake. Beach can be last shot and can be a trap when the wind blows offshore and you float away. If your flasher is acting odd beware hahaha

Ha. Yep! Keep your GPS speed on the display this time of year.

Lol true story boys 😜

Great to run into KP and Josh this morning! We shared some laughs that’s for sure! You might have changed my mind about putting the ice gear up Larry 😈

I think it was just a few years ago Snagger was the first one to warn fishermen about the ice moving . That was on theEast end. Made a big news event. A few got wet wading in from the 3 ft depth .   
Snagger was a wealth of knowledge for Oneida Lake.  Too bad a couple jealous posters chased him off.   He is still Mr. Oneida Lake to me.

Sure wish he’d return to the forum!
To heck with the jealous haters

[oneida1]

ok conditions are diffrent all over the lake and  changing daily,, I found that was easy to get on and off however this private and dosnt get all chewed up like public spots,, ice is a foot or better were I was but getting soft auger went threw fairly easy and quick, use caution and good judgement

100% on the wealth of knowledge.  He does post pretty regular on the diehard page on facebook though, and as always gives great info

Thanks for the replies everyone.
We have decided to stay at Oneida Shores Park because of the ease of having the boat launch right there.
Our only other trip to Oneida Lake we launched from Godfrey's and were pretty successful with jumbo perch and a few keeper eyes drifitng with a jiggin rap.
Any other bait suggestions or depths would be helpful!

Once again,

Thanks for the input!

I ran into Snagger years ago on the ice and he filled me in on Navionics when I was still using a flip phone.  Many years later I finally downloaded the app this year and shake my head at all those years I spent guessing…..great guy and great fisherman, I miss seeing his posts and unique photos on here.
