Can't tell you how much it means to me to read that thread. Can't get up there much anymore since getting married, building a house and having kids. Live ice fishing up there through the stories from you locals. And have to admit I'm jealous. Oldest is getting to the point of coming up for a weekend. Rolling a bobber and jigging for some wall eyes. Keep the stories coming!!

Drove the whole northshore tonight, pray for 40mph west winds, certain areas really need too be crushed and destroyed, from the beach/North bay too Godfrey the lake is solid rotten ice sheets and broken up candled ice with big open water spots, it looks like the ice extends over too Lewis point area, from Godfrey too Taft bay its wide open, the spruce grove sunset bay area is rotten ice with open water spots, out of constantia, theres a big stripe of open water inside of little Island rapping around from the creek surrounded by rotten ice, its open water on other side of long island as far as eye can see too atleast wantry island area. If we have a lock up as is, the best ice this time will be the middle, not the west or east ends. Exactly opposite of the way it was before it went south.
-
Looks like 10 - 25 MPH West winds for the next 2 days so it will probably go.
Call me crazy but I would rather see that 3" of junk freeze up and build than have it all blow out. If it all blows out I am not sure you will get much if anything back.
-
going to get some lake effect now
-
Thanks for that North Shore report SNAG...gives us a good mental picture of the lakes weak ice and open water areas .
-
Choo Choo, Josh says that his boat is ready for SHAD GENOCIDE!!😈 Lol! I bet there are some steelhead that want to get caught!!🎣
-
LOL..If mother nature won't trim down the shad population , we will - Snagfest !
-
Not sure about the lake but here in rochester the wind is starting to pick up pretty out of the West hopefully all that crap ice stacked up on the east end will get smashed so we can get that new sheet started
-
LOL..If mother nature won't trim down the shad population , we will - Snagfest !
I'm sure the 2 of you can

Thanks for the info guys. Always enjoy reading the posts. :icefish:

Phil, you have any arctic cold you could send our way?? Park it right over Oneida Lake!!!!😎
-
wow......south shore ice(maple bay to williams park and beyond) is history.......ice was there this morning in spots, now its gone......guessing there must be some floating ice on north shore where there was none yesterday.....crazy stuff this year for sure
-
Phil, you have any arctic cold you could send our way?? Park it right over Oneida Lake!!!!😎
I'm trying - see pic below. :P
We are having a difficult time, as it is, up here. I think the next few days is going to "fix" a lot of ice in my neighborhood. :icefish:
-
Not this weekend, but, next week may work. Are you in shape to go??
-
Yes sir, cleared by the doc to start on the ice - 1 February. :P
-
The best thing that can happen now is all the local NY Ice gets blow up good and start from scratch. As much as we all love the sport and rather be fishing, the reality is the refrozen bad Ice will never be GOOD ice. Id rather wait and fish on 4 inches of new black ice, instead of 10-12 ices of half and half ice. The resent loss of two of our brothers has shaken a lot of us, as it should. Its unfortunate without doubt, but its also brought out both the worst and best of us. Emotions have been high understandingly, pointing fingers at people does nothing good. None of us were there and will never know what took place on Sandy Pond. The reality is, its a sport that comes with much danger. Time to move on but never forget our brothers.

yeah i got mixed feelings myself, sun angle is getting stronger now, gonna need some cold without snow soon if were gonna get this show on the road again, that can be very hard too do around here....gonna be interesting...
-
we have had open lake in jan and fished all through feb and march ...well have ice
-
We all hope your right Trap!!
-
water temps are down and you have a week of jan left .... you'll be on the ice in feb
-
Only thing I'm worried about is snow on top of fresh ice, we get threw the first week snow free , were good. we'll be fishing February 4th if no snow...
-
get a lot of snow we could be screwed but well get on just when is the question
-
Well, if the forcast is correct and the winds come up, looks like you'll get a fresh start. Need some serious cold and no snow to get a good ice sheet going. Good luck guys.
We should be in really good shape up here by mid next week. :icefish:
-

Nights are getting shorter and days are getting longer. Plus we have spring conditions right now. It's going to be tough to turn it around.
It would be nice to squeak out another month though.
-
Hope the lake effect stays north
-
I'm staying positive for not just getting on the Oneida ice again this year, I'm getting ready for good, hard, thick safe ice all the way out to the Shakelton shoals too.
I dropped off my ice fishing snowmobile today at the sled shop in Deposit NY for a tune up and new ice scratchers .... ;)2
-
well u can take ur boat to shaks right now :'(
-
well u can take ur boat to shaks right now :'(
That's a good one oneida1 and true :roflmao:...but it's just not as much fun as jigging them on a short rod and pulling them up an ice hole..
-
I think were walking next weekend. Sleds the following. I have a positive attitude. I bet she locks Sunday night as long as we have no wind.
-
I hope you're right Jason.
-
we all hope and pray!!!
-
I hope you're right Jason.
Winter is to short to be wrong. Going to be a replay of 2012/2013 winter. I went to quinte Feb 5 lake just skimmed over. Hadn't been on main lake yet. Next weekend we were on dakin with sleds.

I had to look at my log. That year my first trip mid-lake on the sled was 2/16 and we made it to the end of March. There were a few days below zero at the end of January though.

That was the year wheelers were falling in cracks left and right. Looking at forecast after tomorrow it's going to get cold. Lake can't be that warm. I think we set up quick once we get that first inch. Driving through Bernhard's bay this a.m. there was alot of ice still out there. Not sure if it blew open more today.

my 2013 info is locked up in my broken external hard drive, its killing me too not look back

I've noticed in last few yrs your predictions s10xr are getting better and better... ;D

There's no fish on shackleton. 😜
-

I fished the beach on March 15th that year. The bite was aggressive up to the last weekend of ice.
-
If your predictions hold true, according to 2013, we will see ice time on Oneida. I remember a similar season as this winter.
-
my 2013 info is locked up in my broken external hard drive, its killing me too not look back
That was the year we started in North Bay on 1/8. Then that ice got bad, then it froze up most of the lake by the end of January. Then it got a little sketchy again until the middle of February. After that we fished everywhere for almost a month. Just before the walleye close it started getting sketchy mid-lake but the East end was good.
I would take that year any day. The walleye bite was on fire.
-
The weather channel 15 day forecast shows below freezing every night and day after tomorrow. :thumbsup:
-
There is an ice God!!! And, not just Freddie!! Lol!!😜
-
Wish I was we would ice fish till April 15 on Oneida every year
-
Heavy winds this morning, whatever is left will maybe be gone, A fresh start would be great.

was it the year the middle never froze up??

Snag at the end of that season your back was out , and nightfishers daughter walked away from A nasty accident
-

I can look at the forecast 10 times a day. It never gets old
-

That was the 2011/2012 season. Sylvan/Edgewater and constantia were the main places all year.
-
just checked accuweather.......9 days in a row where the temp never dropped below freezing for the whole time in cicero.......hard to believe.....but looking at that lake I can believe......extended forecast looks promising for sure
-
There's no fish on shackleton. 😜
You are right s10xr...Shack and all the mid-lake shoals are way overrated...lot's of structure , but no fish ;)
I just looked at some notes...(2012/2013 season) some of you might remember photo's I posted of my first ever 50 fish ice fishing limit of Oneida Jumbo Yellow Perch..well, it was that year on March 9 2013 ;D
(I think Fred filet limited out on Perch the next day too !)

reeleyz, Perch bite was great too....hope this year ends up like that year , with a hot walleye and perch bite during most of Feb. and March...that will kind of make up for the lousy star we've had with poor conditions and an inconsistent bite so far this season.
-
South of Oneida in places with some elevation the ice didn't break up, but sure did break down. On average we had around 8"/10" of pretty good ice before the warm up. We're at 32.4 F this morning with temps dropping tonight and staying that way for several days and nights. Lot of derbies have been postponed. My hope is to go out and check conditions Sunday morning after a good 36 hours below freezing. Had a pretty good perch bite going on until mother nature tossed me out. Stay safe, smile and enjoy what we get! ;D
-
The ice that was residing in Bernhard's bay is not pretty much gone. That ice in front of constantia is one tough sob.
-
Are the gates open ? Lake is pretty high for the end of Jan.
-
Are the gates open ? Lake is pretty high for the end of Jan.
The gates normally stay open all winter.
Days of above freezing temps and rain melted tons of snow and created a lot of run off.
-

gates are wide open
-
Amazing how that ice is still holding on with all the open water and 20 mph west wind
-
Hope the cold stays for a while . More fishing and less typing is the cure !
-
Stacking up pretty good here [south east end] . Need a good easterly blow to move it out or I think our end will be tough to fish.
-

Scriba creek was up to top of its banks yesterday
-
If you fellas have good safe ice in the next few weeks, watch out for the creek areas , there's a ton of water runoff from the melt ,rain, just look at all the wet to flooded areas, the Oneida Lake watershed north of the lake is just full of water. Be watchful.
-
The west end ice is gone now too. Not sure about big bay.
-
Sully told me 2 days ago it was shot

I'd like to look at the Striker suits. Do any of our stores in Central New York big or small carry them?
-
I've got a striker suit. Climate coat and hardwater bibs. Great stuff! If you ever get up to Black Lake (WE GOT ICE!) @) Chapmans Sport Shop, on the lake, has the suits. Decent price as well.

Racer there is a sale going on with the Striker suits. In the General topics, "Best Ice deals!! Lets hear em!" thread, a guy just picked up a set of Predator bibs for $122 normally $200. Not sure but I think it was Gander. Love mine.
-
and yes I finally finished my smitty sled
-
Gander has the predator suit not sure if it's the same as hardwater suit. The hardwater suite is great, warm and comfortable. Worth every penny
-
Thanks everyone. I'll take a ride to Gander and check them out. The Guardian might be the one for me. I don't want a lot of insulation.
-
With the temps we get anymore I unzip all the vents on the Predators. All their gear is packed with features.....
-
Yeah hardwater suit is very warm almost to warm with jacket these days :-\
-
This long range forcast looks pretty good for you guys. @)

I love my Stryker Climate bibs racer...they have removeable, zip out/ zip in insulation which is a nice feature...check them out before you decide on a pair.Got them last year , so far so good, well made, loaded with features, and the inseam length is totally adjustable for a proper fit.
-

I think Runnings has striker suits as well Bill.
-
with this weather all the outdoor places will be selling stuff cheap ...
-
I currently have a Clam blue color suit. I can't stand all the foam in the seat and knees. It gets too warm. I'm always in the shanty and always have the heater on. I've only worn the coat once this year on the walk out and then hung it up in the shanty.
Choo Choo. I'll check those out. This is why I want to see them before buying.
-
Yes, it w fun.
It is a good idea to take some basic notes after every fishing trip....the seasons and fishing trips tend to fade away and blend together with time.
Some fishing trips and seasons do stand out for one reason or another.
Take notes, it's always fun to look back and see patterns and stuff you completely forgot about.
I think a lot of guy's take fishing trip notes...we all take a lot more pictures now a days, but the notes can be more important for future trips.
I wish I would have started taking notes when I was a teenager.
-
Racer, I have the Frabil jacket and bibs, I too wear the jacket for the trek out and hang it once I'm set up in my office. A very warm suit, I only wear under armor clothing. I will be buying some sort of ice flotation suit for KP Jr and myself next season. We will be wearing our auto inflating life vests for the rest of this season.😉

I have the Clam blue bibs also and do like them, but they were getting worn out . I Wanted to upgrade to a floating pair of bibs, and decided on the Strykers.
Just wanted to add that the Stryker Climate bibs are very warm and maybe a wee bit bulky in the legs, even without the insulation zipped in, but that is because of the floatation sewed in. Best to do what you plan on doing, try them on for yourself.
-

KP, someone posted that great link about Lake ice , how it candles and weakens in different stages etc. a few days ago on the Oneida site that is gone now .The last paragraph of that link they did tests, recommends strongly NOT to use inflateable life vests for ice fishing. It could restrict your breathing as it can inflate and wedge into the hole you just created while breaking through. and you would have to deflate the vest to free yourself in some cases. I think reeleyz spotted that paragraph too, and was as surprised as I was .
www.lakeice.squarespac e.com/candled-ice I think this is the site.
the last paragraph, sorry ,I don't know if this is a direct link..i don't how to bring properly bring another link from one site to another
-
No kidding?? Was that the link FFP put up? Guess I didn't catch that part of it. I better find a plan B for now.
Hey Phil, was that in the link you posted?
-
I definitely would not kid about safety KP...I can't remember who put that Lake Ice post and link...it might have been fishforpike.
-
It is the one FFP posted. I actually wore a regular life vest my first trip this year. I am used to wearing a vest over my ice suit in the boat when it's cold. It not really noticeable.
And my next suit will be a striker. I have an Artic Armor now and it's not bad but it does not breath well. So I end up taking the jacket off on long walks and that defeats the purpose!
-
I remember seeing that about the inflatable vest as well in that article
-
I definitely would not kid about safety KP...I can't remember who put that Lake Ice post and link...it might have been fishforpike.
the kidding part was not intended for You Steve. More so for me, that I missed that part. It's all good. I did go online and found that the co2 cartridges won't inflate properly in extreme cold. May do what Reeleyz did with summer life vest for now. Float suits for next season!!

Hey no problem KP...Your plan b sounds good.
.Like they say when they sign off every night on Weather Underground---- "together, we know more " ;)
Just realized with your new info,........... that inflateable vests have 2 strikes against them for ice fishing1)- they could be bad in average cold weather as mentioned if they did inflate...., 2) in extreme cold they might not inflate- double bad whammy.

Hey Phil, was that in the link you posted?
Yup. That is the link I posted up; and the reason for not wearing an inflatable was as stated by choo choo from the article. Surprised me as well. Years ago, I got an education on late, rotting, ice, while Crappie fishing.
-
I have the guardian bibs. So far plenty warm. Going to get the coat next. Doesn't need to be to heavy. I don't wear a coat enough to justify a real warm one. I like the additional safety but it's not a priority to me. If you use a lil common sense and a spud bar should never worry about swimming.
-
it took me a while, but I found the thread !! thanks KP !!
I have the artic armour light suit, and I love it. not to heavy, and very warm.
the long range forcast looks good as long as the snow stays away. Sully...
-
I have the climate jacket and the original run of lake effect pants, it's nice that they have floatation assist , but I bought them because it's the warmest thing I have ever had on my skinny butt , the jacket has vents and a removable liner , i only wear a T shirt and light sweat shirt under it and jeans under the pants , i think I'm on my 3rd year and no signs of any wear , so far I'm very pleased , but there are other very nice out fits available , plus a spud should be part of everyone's arsenal along with picks and some extra rope and creepers just an old farts .02
-
I bought the striker predator bibs this year......very nice, very warm, but very heavy.......will be a god send if and when we ever get to use machines again and get some real cold weather......sorta wish I went with the guardians (a little lighter) but haven't tested them in tough conditions yet......jury is still out
-
I have the hardwater suit quality second to none and very comfortable and warm. I am short and fat so the option to shorten the legs is a big bonus! I had some issues with a pair of striker gloves and customer service was second to none they sent a new pair no question asked!
-
I've got the Climate coat and bibs. Removable liners are awesome. Nice for the boat spring and fall too.
And as Filet stated, keeps my skinny arse plenty warm.
-
Boy all very helpful. I wear insulated coveralls now and refridgeaware jacket I bought in 1990. When the ice is thin I wear my life preserver. I think I need to upgrade.
-
Wow, great response guys. I'll take a ride to Gander and maybe Runnings today. So far based upon your feedback I'd lean toward the Guardian set. I'll let you all know.
-
Racer, you can't beat Gander's price on the predator bibs $112 + tax......$122 & some change out the door. That was the New Hartford store 2 days ago. No sale signs posted or special tags on the bibs, just a pleasant surprise at the register :thumbsup: :clap: Someone said they think today's the last day of the sale so don't delay ;)
-
Wally that's a great price ,
-

There is a huge sale somewhere on line on the ifloat suit. I guess guys are getting the hole set up at 180.00. Here is the link.

Yes picks would have def helped. Don't think I would be walking over to an atv 10 yards from where I fell in either!! That suit does have awesome flotation by the looks of it though. Cool video Bruce!
S10, it was good seeing you at basketball this morning and getting to chat. Stay in touch man.

accuweather extended calls for some real ice making temps next week......there still is hope

picks were a definite in that situation. That machine, was a Wilcraft machine, I believe. It's designed to self retrieve itself from the water in the event it breaks through the ice.
Lil Bobby shred the court this morning?😎

29* here and a bit of snow falling. Cleaned up 8-10" of snow this morning.

Drove the whole northshore tonight, pray for 40mph west winds, certain areas really need too be crushed and destroyed, from the beach/North bay too Godfrey the lake is solid rotten ice sheets and broken up candled ice with big open water spots, it looks like the ice extends over too Lewis point area, from Godfrey too Taft bay its wide open, the spruce grove sunset bay area is rotten ice with open water spots, out of constantia, theres a big stripe of open water inside of little Island rapping around from the creek surrounded by rotten ice, its open water on other side of long island as far as eye can see too atleast wantry island area. If we have a lock up as is, the best ice this time will be the middle, not the west or east ends. Exactly opposite of the way it was before it went south.
Thanks for the report shane
-
Everything looks wide open. Time to reboot. Gotta get out there next weekend. I was besides myself today with no ice.
-
East end is stacked in chunk ice from about Coleman's to the beach (as far as I can see from driving it). Constantia to North Bay wide open with just a little ice left in close in the bays. Just hope the snow stays off. Time to start lockup '17 2.0
-
Friday night and Saturday night look good for a lock up.
-
I know of 2 guys that are going out on big bay in the morning. my buddy tried talking them out of it, but to no avail.
I just hope it doesn't end in a 911 call !! it's not worth it fellas. give it some time. Sully...

Can't fix the ignorant.

Oneida is rocking today. I might be doing a quinte trip next Saturday if we can't get back on oneida and conditions are good up there. I really don't have a desire to pick through small perch or flat fish. It's all about that tug.
-
I'd set sights on Quinte....as much as I wanna fish Oneida, I'll be going north next weekend!

Alot of variables this week. Have to wait and see. Snow/wind/ and temps.
-
from messengers bay east bound is a mess.......just a conglomeration of ice flows and icey stuff I can't describe......west bound is all open water and a tad choppy to say the least.......this from the south shore (rte 31 ).....can't tell you what the beach or north shore looks like.......need wind to stop now
-
North shore from Cleveland to constantia is alot.of big waves lol
-
The fish were active this wkend :icefish: weren't they? Crappies yday perch today. Stayed on top.
-
How far north yote??
-
Below the Thruway :icefish:

Glad you found some safe ice to fish on!!!
-
Glad you found some safe ice to fish on!!!
the three lakes I was on had decent ice average thickness was 9 inches with about 2 inches of slush.Had to sort through the crappy to get enough for a meal 4keepers. Perch bite was also good same had to sort through the 7inchers to get a meal.11 keepers over 10inches.

You did better than most people today!! Good work!!😎

I think it will. High of 22 degrees today with 6 mph winds out of west.
-
Hopefully the shad have died off.
-
so with this downtime of no fishing ( for me at least ) i just noticed while staring at my gear something strange on my auger. went in for a closer look, and one blade was hanging wierd, looked even closer and noticed the little freaking bolt/screw was working itself loose. so after tightening them back down on both blades i feel glad that i caught and fixed problem, cuz i doubt i would have cut one hole next time out. anyways just a heads up for others to think of looking at.
-
You might want to put some lock tight on the screw threads. Lost one of those bolts on the ice one time, limited me to the three holes that I had. Shut down my search mode in a hurry.
-
There are still a few open spots. Maybe they will lock tonight. There is some snow coming midweek. Hopefully that will miss it or blow off.

I've seen that happen. I caught it on the ice and just got itnsnug enough to cut with
-
South east corner locked to Lewis pt with a few open spots, Messengers iced up probably half mile or so channel looks wide open, but ice looks like an bomb blew up under it.
-
wide open for the most part here in chapman park area

I always carry a couple of spare screws and an allen wrench.

not looking too good at williams park unfortunately.......go tta shut that damn wind down
-
Pretty good winds this week in a westerly direction hope they are wrong , ah heck time to fish some old neglected water anyway
-
That's what we're doing F&R. Pulled the topo out and looking for the overlooked.

let me know if you need a net man! 😜 I'm hoping to get out on some ice somewhere this weekend or early next week. Been busy at work trying to get as much done as I can while the ice is crappy on Oneida
-
Smart man bobby

Same here I always carry extra set of blades and small tool kit for shanty. Real fun time trying to change a set of blades in a 1 man flipover because I don't want to leave the heat lol
-
Good luck wherever you decide to fish Fred filet and Bobby Deadeyez....hopefully, Oneida locks up completely and starts building soon.
It must be tough for you local Oneida lovers to drive by the "ole girl" every day , and see the poor ice, open water conditions ,right in the middle of ice season.
-
I'll speak on behalf of the crew Steve... it's killing us!!!!😡

Hopefully, there will be FISH GENOCIDE somewhere this weekend!!😈

Well look on the bright side.... Walleye numbers are running lower than previous yrs, Perch are so-so. With the lack of pressure this may help in the future ;) But, I'd like to get out there to get myself a few eyes before ice out, and a Drum for the Mother in Law! She can't tell the difference ;D

11* in Parish this morning!! Hey Bruce, what's the temp on the lake?

Perfect!!!😎 Hopefully no wind today!!

got 6" of snow here in brewerton. I'm afraid this snow is going to insulate the ice that we have, and not make much ice >:( >:(. Sully...
-
Looks like a little more on the way the next couple days
-
We only got few inches snow on constantia
-
she skimmed over in chapman and very little snow an inch or so
-
There were some open water spots that were pretty large in front of constantia this morning. Was surprised they didn't skim overnight.

Seven infractions in the past!!!!😳 Seriously??

He was selling them five dollars a bag. They also confiscated his two freezers that were full. Terrible.

It was this morning, looked like mostly snow then it blew off, what time you starting work in the morning? I drove by this morning the truck was covered in snow still. :)
-
crap.......accuweather extended forecast just drastically changed from yesterday........much warmer forecast than previous.........just can't catch a break.....

They need to confiscate his hot lure!
-

That shouldn't hurt if it locks up good before.
-
Skies not falling yet they are already changing next tues weds to 38 and 39 with highs of 20 after that for rest of week. Coming from a guy who plows . Ya never know til it's here.
-
Just drove by Williams and lots of open water still so we need some real cold and no wind. Mini mine field of broken ice not far offshore too.
-
If we get 8" of good clean ice before next weeks rain and warm temps we may be ok... I don't see that happening!!!😡
-
if we have 4" we will be fine as long as its good ice and the whole lake is locked. its only a temp warm up then back to cold. I dont mind some standing water on top of the ice and now the weather channel is saying that were going to be below freezing both nights and its not going to hit 40. so its going to be fine.
-
Let's wait and see what the Woodchuck says tomorrow morning........fingers crossed!!! :whistle:
-
I sure hope he sees a shadow ;D
-
Any Ice reports for Lewis Point?
-
Lewis and messenger locked up first but a lot of shove ice underneath. Gonna be very tricky over there for a while
-
so if the woodchuck sees his shadow I should get the boat ready?
-
get the boat ready u may get enough ice for the bays or a few spots but ur not getting a total safe lock up this year...
-
so if the woodchuck sees his shadow I should get the boat ready?
if the woodchuck puts on a wool coat, keep your ice gear ready.... but, if he puts on a speedo, get the boat ready!!!! Lol!! I'll put crosshairs on him if he puts on the speedo!!!!😂🤣😂🤣

lol :roflmao:
Punxatawney Phil will be mia tomorrow...I really did laugh out loud this evening when the local Binghamton Weatherman, Mick D. ( Fox 40) said during his weather segment at 6 pm today, that he was headed down to Pennsy tonight to kidnap the woodchuck , returning to Binghamton tomorrow, then dispatching it, stuffing and baking it for Super Bowl Snacks Sunday... he said"It tastes like chicken".. the guy is unreal some evenings.
Mick also said "if any of you out there have any good recipe's, write them down on a 20 dollar bill , and send them to the station in care of me"...he's a riot some nights.
Could you guy's imagine Wayne Mahar or Jim Teske saying that stuff while doing the Syracuse weather?.
-

Yeah! :thumbsup: I was just saying that exact thing to the groundhog assassin last night.
-
Yeah! :thumbsup: I was just saying that exact thing to the groundhog assassin last night.
This snow isn't helping but as much as everyone tries to analyze the way she freezes sometimes she surprises you. I just saw a old post on Facebook of the legion poker run in 2013. I fished the beach that a.m.. went and rode on dirt. Next weekend we went to quinte so that would of been the sixth or so. Main lake was still a no go. The following weekend I was out deep with the sled. So that put it around the 15th or so. I think Bruce said that year he was on the 16th. The next few weeks after that rocked. I keep saying we're going to have a repeat. Winter is far from over but it does suck we missed most of January.
-
We just need 2 nights near zero and no snow or wind. It's going to be windy for the next several days, then a warm up. Maybe it will get cold enough at the end of next week.
-
I'm optimistic as well S10. I'm holding my breath to see what the webcam shows this morning, each day this week there's been just a little more ice. If it locks up today/tomorrow, I think your estimate will be right on. And I'll be there to race to the middle! ;D
-
Hey folks. fingers crossed for some strong ice out there
-
Well, looks like the groundhog was not wearing speedos. Saw his shadow, now we know good ice is coming. :)
-
Well in the mean time I'm fishing some where , I can't wait for the ol girl to lock up , flats in the freezer work for me
Got a call from my bud goon boy and it was quite a rant my ears are still 🛎 , on chaumount bay where he has accessed for years is now posted because some genius with a wheeler tore up the lawn , the total lack of consideration just boggles my mind
-

Unfortunately it's the nature of the beast. No one has respect for others anymore or worry about consequences. It's sad.
-
Hard to tell but bernards bay web cam has the ice looking not so good looks like open pockets out there too....looks like I will be driving 3 hrs for next few weeks instead of 2
-
Well, looks like the groundhog was not wearing speedos. Saw his shadow, now we know good ice is coming. :)
Phil is lucky!!! 😈😈😈 end of story!!!
I'm in Constantia now..... I still see where there is open water with snow laying on it....😡
-
24 degrees and snowing hard here, 4" of new snow 1/4 mile visibility. I can see some wet spots don't know if they will refreeze with this snow. Won't see this guy out there till we get sub zero.
-
can.t see across the street, it's snowing so hard !! 5 to 6" so far, and still snowing at a good clip. Sully...
-
Just A bunch of snow slush on top right now, A stiff wind would blow it off, lots of open water in the middle. We just got 8 inches of snow in Cleveland, not looking good at all to get out soon.
-
Wiiliams Beach about 5-6" Snow as fishhooksul said. East from Williams Beach has open water from Wantry to Maple Bay looks like. No idea how the ice is near shore at Williams. I don't recommend it. Other lakes have ice south and north. Time for a drive.
-
well this morning i can see more open water then yesterday go figure... what skim ice there was all got pushed north east ... east of chapman is choppy stuff that got pushed together as far as i can see . to the west is wide open from shore to as far as i can see... The extended forecast i saw shows no real cold arttic air >:(
-
It was 17* this morning at my house. It was all open water East of Constantia. It's going to be way too windy this weekend to make ice.
-
I agree Bruce. I looks like the wind is blowing the snow off what little ice there is this morning
-
With a winter like this if we get good ice next year it should be great fishing since so many fish are in the lake and not the freezer. Also for the guys that fish for them in the summer too.
-
Yeah, did the boat rebuild last spring, missed all the early open water. She's good to go this year, other than installing the stereo the kids bought for me. We'll be jamming!
-
It looked like the lake was mostly froze over at sunset. Still a big section of open water off of Taft. It would be nice if the snow stayed away.

still a ton of open water from chapman park area extending out toward shack shoals and beyond.......saw it from the hills s/e of chittenango.......unbe lievable
-
Man after getting the email newsletter from the OLA ,Def some more bad news
Cornell researchers are saying by the end of the century Oneida Lake will likely be warmer by 6 degrees and this will affect
the oxygen levels in the deeper parts not good for cold water fish and such,but mainly effecting ice formation as well,
Not good for our younger generations to look forward too,still have my fingers crossed to walk out and jig up a couple walleye this yr
-
got another foot of snow last night, and still snowing >:( >:(. all we can hope for now is that it slushes up, and freezes. one day of 40, and rain next week, and cold after that. there is still hope. Sully...

reality check!!!!!! the fat lady is singing. too bad!!!!!

Haha your a funny guy. She's far from singing and Oneida will be fine. All the snow has been blowing off her and cold is on the way.
Actually I just got done snow blowing think I'm gonna go out on the old girl for the morning.

Fished 17 fow at Sylvan. Sat on 8" of ice. Tough drag in snow. 2 perch lots of pinners. I was the only one out there
-
at this point m hoping that the eyes will be in the canal/ creeks before the close and maybe be able to get a few that way. looks like a giant slushy out there now.... well at least an easy winter for the deer at least south of the lake effect area...

-
low 40's tuesday almost 50 on wensday high winds put a fork in it,, it's done
-
S10 I like your style ,stay positive and things happen,I hope to walk out Atleast a couple more times
be safe
-
Haha I find it funny all the characters on here marking off the season. It's almost as if they want Oneida not to freeze. Internet experts everywhere
-
I liked shanty when it was about fishing, having a good time and keeping other anglers informed of conditions for safety reasons. These days it's more like a middle school cafeteria with the drama and trash talk. Anyone of us would engage one another in conversation and help each other on the ice in a heartbeat. It seems as if these cyber walls make us forget about what we are here for.
-
I agree. Although I'd like to think if there was more safe ice around we'd all be fishing more and be in better moods. Things can still change around weather wise, its still only 1st week of February.
-
low 40's tuesday almost 50 on wensday high winds put a fork in it,, it's done
To be honest I think that warm up is needed. It will soften up any snow on the ice and then there is a decent freeze after that. We might not get to the middle but maybe we can back on some spots the we were on a few weeks ago.
-
This is a interesting video ........ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZB6RW4Dg1M (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZB6RW4Dg1M)

cool video it was some good looking ice i wish we had that on onieda!!!

That was a cool video some thing you don't see often way better than the shad
seen frozen in the ice on Oneida this year
-
S10 I like your style ,stay positive and things happen,I hope to walk out Atleast a couple more times

Looks like we have 2 weeks coming up the after that it's anyone's guess

took a walk around big bay this morning with hopes of fishing for the day. "NOT" !!!!! I cut around 15 to 18 holes. there's about 8" of snow followed by 6" of slush. there's 8 to 10" of ice, but the top 6 to 8" is rotten, candled, chunks when you cut it ice !!! hightailed it back to shore, and am currently putting my hardwater gear away for the season !! it's not worth my life !! it doesn't matter how cold it's going to get. rotten ice stays rotten ice !! the days are getting longer, and the angle of the sun is getting higher. you may be able to get on some fresh ice after this warm up, and freeze, but I would walk softly, and use your spud !!! Sully...
-
Big bay never opened up did it? I was on Sylvan and it was great 8-10 inches.

I can't seem to find them here or on the conditions threads. I come every year from Rochester a couple times. love that lake. I guess something must have happened and they are shut down? sorry, due to weather and other things I am getting going a little late this yr. but would like to know the conditions/fishing reports before making the trip. they were always very informative and good reading. just curious.
-
sorry....meant oneida
-
Agreed seems to disappear every year. Kinda annoying

I miss the thread too........mod pulled it

thanks....that's what I thought

Your quitting on the 7th of February? Sad, but if you only play on one lake I guess you had no season. Ill cut through 14" of rock hard ice this week. Just down the road....

I am home sick as a dog today so I was looking back at some old posts from a few years ago. There is so much great info in those old posts. If someone wanted to learn Oneida, the information is all right here at your fingertips.
Locations, lures, techniques. Not that it is very useful this year but it's there when someone needs it. That stuff doesn't need to be rehashed.
Now I really digress... ;D
-
wind is picking up starting to move ice and opening areas up
-
81 is a lonnnng road from Binghamton.

:tipup

Been raining pretty good for almost 8 hours straight here on the north shore of the lake.
-
Lol 🤣 Get well soon Bruce!
-
This sucks I have a hotel room next Friday and Saturday was hoping for decent ice

Thanks Bobby.

You bet! I battled it couple weeks ago. No fun
-

Really bad, snow is going away, got to ride the sled at least after the rebuild. Still raining here, gonna be windy tomorrow too. This weather is just crap.
-
No worries plenty of fish to catch this weekend. I havnt seen the ice but my guess is this warm front is going to make the north shore better. There's always Sylvan that ice is good down there
-
ok im not arguing with anyone but checked the ice east and north there may be spots u can go out on but there is no good ice on oneida.....just imo do as u wish... and yes i know there is never any safe ice... do as u wish be safe
-
Tons of info Years past
Reeleyz get well still lots of fishing left to do
-
Working this C trick with no snow makes for long nights spend lots of time going thru the old thread....can never learn enough...heading to chaumont Saturday am hoping Oneida isn't done
-
still 40 it might be done and its a shame!
-
Calling for more wind NW 20-30 thurs , we shall see
-
Tomorrows winds look to be NW 20-30 , then back in the teens for a couple days then back to the 30*range
Time will tell , just play safe
-
At least the web cam still show ice. It would be nice if it froze hard before the big wind. That would save some of it.
-
Tomorrows winds look to be NW 20-30 , then back in the teens for a couple days then back to the 30*range

NW winds not good at all, LAKE SNOW , how much is the question, but any is sad right now

There were 2 shanties still sitting out in that wind and rain last night when I went by just before sundown. Good on 'em. Hope the bite was worth it because it looked miserable!
-
37 degrees flags are straight out here. Ice looks pretty rotten east of Lewis. Lots of water about 50 yards out at the beach don't know if it's on top or a crack opened up. Runoff will damage it pretty good imo.
-
Just 2 cents, couldn't agree more with Reeleyz, everything from boots, gloves, sleds, wheelers, line, lures, bait, huts, heaters, augers, locations, conditions, shops, and on and on. The Info and results from those Diehards was absolutely priceless. I'll just say thanks!
-
Thanks XC 600
-
Quite a bit of open water in constantia and Taft bay. In some spots it looks to stretch across the mason Dixon line. Sucks 👎🏻
-
tra-ra la ra la la la!!!!!!

I saw that too, open water behind Long island ->Grassy -Dakin all the way to Willard, it splits off some too, very sketchy indeed.
-
Web cam still looks good. We need these temps to drop.
-
Rented a house for the weekend. There better be ice
-
Temps are going to drop at least according to my weather map
-
Down to 31* now. ;D
-
Making ice tonight.
-
you forgot entertaining! Thanks to the locals!!!
-
lots of open water... chapman area even if we get cold temps its done in this area the bays and certain areas may be ok but never going to make the shoals this year its feb 8th
-
maybe in a boat!!!and that sucks i want to be in my hut!!
-
Northshore cam says 16 now
-
Is that open water on the Bridgeport cam ?
-
Good morning old timer , she's trying to make ice again
-
Think there was talk on here about the Striker jackets a while back. Gander has them crazy cheap right now. Climate for $160, Hardwater for $140, Predator $130
-
15 degrees and stiff wind. Lake tightened up still some wet spots east of Lewis, not sure about the ice I personally don't feel confident but did see a few guys to the west of the point.
-
Good morning old timer , she's trying to make ice again
Been a tough winter for you hard water guys.

Found this from jpd949 on the Oneida Lake topic under the New York State conditions .
Fished Sylvan beach on Monday..Foot of ice everywhere I drilled and I walked about a half mile out to 25 ft water. All good black ice. Got 1 keeper walleye and about 20 big fat slob perch from 11-14 inches...Full of eggs.

nothing personal, but I fished the beach tuesday and today and didn't find any ice that was 12".......where I was (23 ft.) the ice was 6" max.....it was good solid ice mind you but I spudded my way out for safety's sake....there is a massive field of shove ice at the 16 fow range and beyond.....nothing that can't be traversed but with this report there will be a bombardment of machines........lets use our heads folks....I know it has been a lousy ice season so far but lets let calmer heads prevail.......the beach hasn't been fully explored yet so error on the side of caution.....only a handful of guys have been out.....fishing is ok by the way....now eyes for me but a few nice perch....would think the weekend will be crowded for sure

The ice on the East end can move very quickly if the winds change in the wrong direction. The ice is thin this year and open or gone in large areas down the lake. The ice can easily move around. We found ourselves on the wrong side of a wide open crack one year when the ice shoved across the lake down from where we were fishing. We also found our shore ice gone another year when the ice moved out and we had to skim our sled over open water to get in. So when the shore ice is bad and not locked tight you can think your OK until the unthinkable happens. Been there, done that not fun. Don't get false security.
-
Excellent advice from scout and chacer.
A foot of ice and 14" perch........nuff said.
-
Open water from Constantia to Williard Island and beyond a ways east. Heard guys were off Lewis point today and last night. Same report as scout about the beach. No ice is safe ice!! Use a spud and common sense...😎
-
Down to 9* here. There might be several other spots to spud out by Saturday...
-
:icefish:
-
Thanks to all for the reports on the east end. I am hoping to get out of work early and try for some walleye this afternoon.
-
Looks like taft to constantia locked back up. Yet of course more warm weather coming to ruin that
-
How much snow did the lake get? Syracuse has about 6"
-
about 3" here in brewerton. Sully...
-
still open water a mile out in front of chapman
-
How much snow did the lake get? Syracuse has about 6"
ZERO snow in Constantia last night or today.
-
Tomorrow can't get here quick enough. Gonna crush them silly fish.
-
Just spoke to a fisherman that was out to Lewis, said ice was 8"-12" east of the point and lots of guys out. Wondering if anyone has been out to Edgewater and what the conditions were.
-
You sure that report was east of the point,I am very iffy on that ,east was rough at best before warm up,out north and west seemed better,be careful
-
You guys think there will be ice to fish next weekend? Have a spot booked and hoping
-

There will be fishable ice next weekend. The forecast looks okay so we shouldn't lose any ice.
It's going to snow pretty good so we won't gain any ice either.
-

Thank you sir can't wait
-
Ya got to let him know where the fishable ice is now. If he looks in the wrong spot next weekend and goes through OMG.
-
how are you supposed to know whats going to be fishable next weekend?????
-
The ice changes in every direction out there right now. Yesterday I made multiple moves and found variations in ice thickness and hardness. I would only hope the ice is fishable for everyone from now till last ice, but, I'm not going to make predictions. It's been a strange winter for making good solid ice. Be safe and spud, spud, spud!!!
-
No worries was just looking for some hope really. I will of course being a spudding and being smart about it.
-
good man earl ....be safe please
-
Went out of apps yesterday. Ice was solid on my trail out to 27fow. Had 5" the holes i drilled.
Saw 1 sled drive out n back checking things out.
-
Fished out of Edgewater today with a buddy, seen quite a few guys out in front of the beach, only two cars at Edgewater. Fished 8-3:00 with nothing but pin pike and a few small perch ( two silvers mixed in ) . Ice was all of 8" in 20 ft and 12" in 24ft, also had one Atv and one sled out there ...hope the snow doesn't kill whats there ....
-
lot of snow here in volney >:(
-
Constantia got a bunch of snow to 👎🏻
-
About a foot here Bobby. Not what we need. >:(
-
About the same here!
-
Well that's not good , let's see what the winds can do with it
-
We got at least A foot more overnight easy in Cleveland, plus the 8-10 we got yesterday. Bring your nitro pills if your walking.
CNY
-
We can't catch a break this winter
-
Talked to a buddy that started his route plowing driveways at 2 am. He said the snow was coming over the hood of his truck as he drove down the road. Snow redevelops tomorrow night. Hope it's not much. Unreal guys
-
a foot in lakeport heavy crap dont know if the wind will blow this stuff off
-
Well that's not good , let's see what the winds can do with it
Well the 10-12" we got up here is heavy and a little icey - the wind ain't moving it - but then the lake will see significantly higher winds. I "need" to get on Oneida this year, but! :(
-
funny story the snow here must of gotten a squirrel all messed up he ran in my shed and I found him on a fishing bucket .... scared the heck out of me I jumped he jumped and we both ran out the door ......... between yesterday and last night well over a foot and a half here
-
I posted this on the conditions page yesterday.
2/12/17 Fished out from Edge Water (North Bay) from 9:00-12:00, Used my 4 Wheeler after fishing there yesterday and finding 8-10 inches of ice. Caught mainly white perch, but did get a couple of good sized striped ones and a few usized walleye that were returned to the lake.
On Saturday I started by checking out Three Mile Bay. Parked at the car top boat launch and walk south. Ice was not good there. One hit with my spud and it went through when I had gone passed the shallow water markers. I did not fish at Three Mile at all.
-
that's funny trapper wonder if he was thinking of fishing as well lol
I'm sure he was thinking this snow sucks now I cant fish out my stashed nuts
-
Didn't seem like the wind today was as strong as forecasted. That snow we got was pretty heavy stuff. 3 hours shoveling today between the driveway and roof. I'm ready to kick back with a crown and ginger and watch the cuse game 🥃

Have any of you looked at the 15 day forecast for Cleveland/ Constantia ?
after this Friday, 10 days straight of "non ice making/building " temps, 5 of those days with at least some rain showers.
I know it is only a forecast, and a lot of things can change... but ,,,,, :o :-\

My family has a house in Constantia. I have pretty much given up the idea of fishing my spots this year. I would be surprised if it is safe this year. Last time I was up, the spud went through on 1 hit with little effort.
-
Well we had 2 back to back years of of late ice then last year ice not so good and worse this year , can't be all peaches and cream every year 🤗

I am with you on that Fred....but it would be really nice to spend just a week or two with full gear on 10 " ice, out on the mid lake shoals.
We still have time for that , but it is looking tough right now.

-

There is more than one lake to fill a freezer! :woot:
-
I fished Lewis point today, there was alot of ice heaves off the point. A few sleds and wheelers out. I did not find any bad spots, but I am sure they are there. Ice was varied between 6 and 10 inches. I did not do well as usual when I fish Oneida. Just can't get anything to take. There were quite a few lookers on the sonar. Around me there were a few perch and small eyes taken. We were in 25fow. The drag was a heart attack waiting to happen.......
-

I'll be at Apps at 6am then heading outta Lewis on foot anybody else going out

So looking forward to tomorrow go fishing with a buddy I have not seen in a long time weathers is looking great for upstate ny too and the fishing had been good happy Friday everyone and good luck this weekend
-
I'll be at Apps at 6am then heading outta Lewis on foot anybody else going out
Planning the same thing as you but on Saturday morning. Hope you'll share on here how you make out Friday.
-
next week is calling for 40's all week long. Might get to float the boat in February this year if this keeps up, haven't done that in a while.
-
I doubt anyone will be fishing out of a boat on Oneida Lake during February. Even with the mild temperatures it will not be enough to melt the ice. Mother Nature will likely mess it all up, no safe ice and yet no open water to fish Oneida.
I am hopeful we will have safe ice at the East end of Oneida until the end of February. Remember snow insolates the ice from both freezing better and thawing out, unless we get a lot of rain it is not likely the ice will deteriorate on Oneida before the end of Feb. It was the heavy rain and 50 degree temperatures that rotten the ice back in January.

Are the snowmobile drag races at the Beach going to bother the fishing this weekend ? Might affect parking and access ?

I don't think it'd make sense to bring snowmobiles to the lake this season.

x2 since they've been there since last month

Alright guys I have a morning window to fish tomorrow in town for a meeting, where's best to access the ice? Tomorrow morning specifically. Just looking for decent ice I know it's not necessarily ideal conditions.
-
The beach has decent ice ,

Holy zoo at Lewis point yesterday!!!! you needed a traffic :callcops:
It was nice to fish the big lake though.....slow bite but picked away at em!

"Zoo" would be a very polite way to describe the mess and general inconsiderate behavior in the parking area yesterday. No need to beat it to death it's over with but: wow, just wow. I've never seen anything like it. The way some people think they can park....
-
I got there at 5:25 and the lot was almost full. Then people just started parking everywhere. The section behind the lot looked like a mud pit. Not cool.
It was a beautiful day on the ice though and the fishing was good.
-
I got to Lewis Point at 540 yesterday. Took one trip through the lot and said screw it. I don't want to be any part of that parking mess. Went to Sylvan instead. Lot was close to empty when I got there. Caught some sun, some perch, and got to see the races. Man those things can fly.
-
Did anybody see those 3 sleds heading down the middle of the lake from the beach? I hope they got off before they got to that section between Willard and Dakin. :o
-
I couldn't beleive I saw sled tracks shooting across from nice n easy in constantia.
-
Im sure I'll get hammered for this but the situation at lewis pt lot is out of control. Neighbor had state police this morn complaining about people using a private drive to turn around, guess they don't know what posted means. The lot is a mud hole don't be surprised it gets shut down.

YOU WONT GET HAMMERED BY ME I was fishing out by Lewis yesterday
PRIVATE ACCESS and said to my buddy look at all the people out of Lewis, you no there is lot of
illegal parking going on over there and I bet tickets will be issued WELL I hope they were
don't they realize they are giving all of us HARD WATER NUTS a bad name.
IS A FEW FISH REALLY WORTH IT TOO DISRESPECT PEOPLES PROPERTY/BREAK LAWS AND GIVE US
FELLOW SPORTSMEN A BAD NAME we are lucky to have what we do have wont be long and all access will be gone
I did not fish out of Lewis but want to apologize to the land owners for the disrespect of others that are giving US ALL A BAD MAME
WE ARE SPORTSMEN LETS REMEMBER THE MEANING OF SUCH . I may be old fashioned but we were taught
common sense and respect USE IT
-
Yea it was a show at Lewis yesterday first time out this season couldn't believe the parking situation I got one of the last spots about 6am. Caught some fish then came back in and it was out of control lol
-
I think the vast majority of guys parking there want to be respectful.... I think it's generally better than past years....
-
X2 RedWolf....I parked there Friday and Saturday. Got there early enough to get a parking spot with a trailer in tow. The issue I saw was when the parking lot was full, guys with trailers tried to swing around the backside of the lot and hit the grass. That's a no-go this time of year, the ground is soft! I think an extra fence at the back of the lot will stop the damage to the yard. First come first served. To the people who park on the opposite side of the road of the lot, you make it impossible for anyone to swing out of the lot. No parking signs need to be installed on that street. It was a zoo for sure!!! I think it needs to be patrolled. Once the lot is full, that's it! The fishing was ok both days.
Be respectful towards land owners and fellow fisherman!!
The warms temps are going to do some damage to the ice this week. Be safe and use good judgements!!😎

To late the back side is a rutted mess now , if that was mine I would be pissed , there are signs stating where the parking area is , it's a no brainer on a side note I didnt have to police the area
-
Fished out of Edgedwater today with a buddy, 25 fow, 13" of ice, Marcum was lit up all day, fished 7:30 -4:30, caught over 40 white's half dozen walleyes ( no keepers ) and a good bunch of perch, kept only the these, not to bad of a walk, few sleds and atv's out ... Last outing of the year for me I think with the weather ahead...

I gotta say this before I forget... I didn't see any trash going out or in from the Lewis Point parking area!!👍 Well done people!!😎

You'll never find out who does the damage to the access sites, so what we do at Chautauqua Lake, is at the end of the season we get as many guys together that want to help and we meet a one location on a set Saturday. We each bring a rake and a bag of top soil and grass seed. Then we split up and visit each of our access points and if tire tracks need to be fixed we do it as a group. You will be surprise how much the land owners appreciate that and will allow you to use the access the next year. You guys should try it at Oneida. It might help save a site.
-

This happens every year. Last year it came close to being closed. From what I understand the state doesn't own it, but a land owner allows it to be used for access. Some of you guys may know more about it. Its been posted in older threads.
-
The last 3 years or so Lewis parking has been out of control. The owners are nice enough to provide parking and access but when neighbors complain about people parking and trespassing they will listen. I commend guys that see the lot is full and move on. As for fixing the mud good idea but it would take a dump truck and tractor to clean up the mess. I just hope none of our homes has a fire, it would be tough to get an emergency vehicle our way when they park on the road. I'm sure most people on here are not the problem but in reality it only takes a few to make us all look bad.
-
xc600 you should call your town supervisor and ask for no parking signs on the road ...then again that can limit a home owner having a party
-
The way the parking is on the road , god forbid if there was a fire , or some other type of emergency , it's a tight squeeze, and a snow plow would have to roll the vehicles in the ditch
-
Do they ever plow the lot, every time I have went I needed 4*4 . I too move on if the lot is full.
-
Trap I'm good friends with the super and my brother is a board member, the road we are talking about is a private egress= ingress for locals. The property is all privately owned. I won't be surprised if it gets posted. Hopefully this warmup will slow the abuse down, shore ice is shot. Be safe out there
-
Just tried to hit my panfish spot on Oneida that had 8 inches of ice 2 days ago. Started spudding out and had to turn around and head in. Ice was rotten from last 2 days. A whack or 2 and spud was going through. A few spots where our tracks from previous trips were and I only had to touch it with the spud and it was trough. That may be it for me this year. Never ended up getting over walleye waters this year. Extended forecast not lookin to good either. Got a couple days this week of rain followed by a day of high winds. 👎🏻
-
Simple solution to the parking issue might be to fence off the back lot if there's not supposed to be any parking there, put up residential parking only signs on the street and then charge $5.00 to park in the lot. The abusers would move on and the ones that really care and probably are not the cause of the problems wouldn't mind contributing to have a place to park.
-
if I owned it I'd simply post it ....done deal
-
The people who own the property are more than likely not interested in the $5.00, or $10 or 20 and will just post the property. Hard for me to understand what those people are thinking. Certainly not next year....

well with these temps its going to be a mute point....next weekend... but its BS people damage other peoples property it will be posted sooner or later
-
I would gladly pay 5 bucks to park there. You would be suprised how a small fee will keep a lot of the trouble away.
-
Guys that fish sandy pond...there is a fee to park at wigwam I think. I've been only once. Does this fee help keep the place clean and detour folks that are more likely to trash it if it were free?
-
Wigwam parking and access is usually clean. The owners of the property care greatly, like any property owner, about their property. A small fee to park helps pay for the property, taxes and an easy access on off the ice/water!! Respect for others... goes a long way!!😎

Just tried to hit my panfish spot on Oneida that had 8 inches of ice 2 days ago. Started spudding out and had to turn around and head in. Ice was rotten from last 2 days. A whack or 2 and spud was going through. A few spots where our tracks from previous trips were and I only had to touch it with the spud and it was trough. That may be it for me this year. Never ended up getting over walleye waters this year. Extended forecast not lookin to good either. Got a couple days this week of rain followed by a day of high winds. 👎🏻
Bummmer Bobby DeadEyez...but does not surprise me ...seen thick weak ice deteriorate like that, and even quicker, many, many times.
The ice spud is a great tool for finding a "safe" trail out to fishing spots in the morning, ...that spud will also tell you how quick ice conditions can change when you decide to head in later that day,... when you're not able to take that same "safe" morning trail back to the same shore location.
This 4 day run of weather Oneida is about to get will put an end to any safe fishable ice....can't see any bad or good ice surviving this weather stretch coming.

Fished Lewis the last two days. Good ice (considering), good walking conditions, good friends and good bite - the simple things in life are pretty sweet. Didn't bother targeting eyes and were rewarded with a nice pile of jumbos both days. Surprise of the yesterday was catching this brute with a small gold kastmaster on 4lb test. Quick pic and back in it went.

I caught a nice ling at lewis on Monday and four or five more on my camera... they must spawn down there!! Mine didn't make it back in the water though! Instead I'm going to give it a nice butter bath!!
:roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:

Nice job Pman 🕳🎣
-
Hey Pman is that an old Shimano TX500 in your burbot picture? If so I still have one and it's my all time favorite panfish ice reel and mine still works like a champ after all these years.
-
And it looks like he's still Has an FOF pop&fish hut
-
well I sat at the river catching dink perch till another old fart sat down next to me ...he out fished me pretty bad to say the least but the company was great after a few hours he mentioned Freddie and we intro ourselves ...it was a real pleasure to met and fish with scout57 today even if he kicked my butt I really enjoyed the morning ;D
-
Trapp he's a perch fishing machine he kicked my butt first ice
-
it was nice to meet him enjoyable man to fish and bs with
-
Thanks for the kind words guys. I'm continually impressed by the amount of knowledge on this site. That indeed is a Shimano reel that I've had for quite a few years. Still use it but most of my primary reels are now ones with instant anti-reverse. One of these days I'll try the free spool reels a lot of the guys on here fish. Fred, you're exactly correct about the FOF Products pop n fish. Don't see many around here and not that many people know what they are. Not surprised that you knew exactly what it was.
Birdslayer I was tempted to keep it and try the butter bath but decided not to since I had a pile of perch to deal with. Know a lot of guys say they are darn good; can't understand why people still leave them on the ice to die instead of just releasing them.
-
If the lake keeps getting warmer burbot will become extinct
-
what a messed up season this time of february is usually best ice
-
geez Trap, I'm starting to blush a little.......lol...... .nice chatting with you also......hard going from oneida lake perchies to those fellas but the conversation was great and weather was sweet.......probably should have hit Lewis for one last time but didn't want to fight the water and slush on top....never dropped below 36 degrees last night.......bet those stripers were on fire today too......looks like the old fat lady is singing really loud right now.....short but good ice season for me....thank goodness for retirement....time to get some neglected side jobs done before golf season hits ;).....
-
Sorry to see it ending so quick. All the ice back home in Rochester is toast. Hope to make a trip or two at the canal in the next couple weeks.
-
stopped at midway in fulton ,steve had just heard the fire dept had to rescue to people of the lake or maybe canal ...... be careful out there
-
Canal at The Beach is wide open.
-
The fishing been pretty good the past couple of weeks. I took one more quick trip tonight. The top was loose and the shore a little soft but not bad.

I remember my dad catching burbot when i was a kid and he would throw them away because he didn't know any better! Good man but not very worldly.... small town guy mill worker his whole life and has no interest in education, even about fish! Thats until I fed him some poor man's lobster!!! I cooked him his first ling about ten years ago and he thought it was some kind of salt water fish i had caught. When I told him what it was he didn't believe me and I literally had to show him the pictures and carcass! After that his first response was "you know how many of those i caught and left on the ice over the years!?" I said I know... now don't you wish would have kept them!?? Or at the very least let them go so someone else could enjoy them. He agreed and now every time I fish on Oneida he asks if I caught any ling cod!!!! He can't get enough! Lesson here is one man's garbage is another man's treasure... if your not going to eat it RELEASE IT!! Thanks for putting that one back so I can catch him next year!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
-

Agreed Filet, sad to think that my little one might not be able to share in some of the great experiences that I have had... burbot included!!! Or maybe icefishing in general!!???
-
Bruce nice job wish I could have gotten out
-
Way to go Bruce :), haven't seen many of those on this thread or on the ice this year. Great picture of the lake, odd when there's not a soul to be seen. Would love to get out today but decided not to tempt fate. Keep on thinking about what Shane and some others said a while ago about candled ice and the quality of the Oneida ice this year and how fast it will go.
Birdslayer nice tale about your Dad, maybe I'll keep the next one I catch to try but it's looking like that will have to wait till next year. I remember when I first started ice fishing out of Apps and Godfreys, you would see piles of them on the ice on some days.
-
Great story slayer!!😎
Way to make 'em pay on your last trip Bruce!! Good work!!😎🕳🎣
-
Thanks KP. I think the beatings will continue soon. ;)
Good stuff Birdslayer. I have always released burbot but it makes me sick to think about how many were left on the ice when I was a kid.
How about the CUSE??? :thumbsup:
-
In the 50s and 60s there was a guy with a sled, not a snowmobile, who would criss cross the ice at Sylvan Beach and pick them up. I guess He knew something everyone else didn't ?? They are good but not a walleye. The walleye limit then was 25.
-
Burbot are good eats, people pay 10 bucks A pound for cod at Wegmans, but they leave these on the ice, pretty senseless. Cook them up I say.

Yeah. I went to that game instead of making a last run at the eyes. Started with drinking beers outside in 65deg weather and ended with 30k people going crazy and running on the court. It couldn't have been much better.
But I see by the pics that I couldn't go wrong either way. Great fish Bruce!

It doesn't get any better than that!!!

Ice and winters are cyclical. We will have deep freeze winters again. Look at 2014 and 2015 with record lows and ice fishing into April. California has been in a draught cycle and now they have more rain than they can handle. All part of the earths natural cycles.

Don't ask Release how his day went!!!!😵😵 Lol!!

Bruce I went to the wrong spot covered over 1/2 mile of ice and every stop was full of pins it was insane
Ice is getting that nasty gray look about it now , time to head north for the last hoorah
-
Well that stinks. Great weather at least.
-
I pulled the jon boat out and I see a lot of open water every where

Well I was driving down the road looking out at the rotting ice and after I wiped the tears from my eyes I happened to notice you drive by. :woot:
Friggen thunderstorm in February???
-
I just hope the ice goes quick and not that long lingering process
-
What a difference 2 years makes.
2 years ago today the high was 19 degrees and the low set a record at -18. Ice was 2' thick and there was no end in sight.
-
I went by at lunch and saw you out there, Freddie. And a half a mile away a guy in a boat.
This rain is nasty. My yard has rivers running thru it, basement is already flooded. Urgh. Shore ice won't last long with this.
-
Well tomorrow looks like 60 and more rain , I must be getting old and slow I use to be more stealth equipped lol
-

Ha Ha, That's funny. It was tough to stay ahead of the bite chasers this year with such limited area to fish. Heard I just missed you last Saturday. Pooch said he ran into you out there. See ya on the open water.

Good one chowdaire.
Not sure if it has been mentioned..just a reminder about Oneida Lake Association Dues, got the membership renewal form in the mail today.
-
Funny, I just read another Choo Choo post as I hear the train whistle in the distance. If I was fishing right now I would not have read or heard either. Always next season I guess. Stay on top!

Nice coincidence Doorman....I don't miss working out there on the tracks...but always love to hear a trains whistle !
Definitely looking forward to next year and we are due for a couple good cold normal winters in a row... btw ,I put my ice gear away yesterday, so I will stay on top !

I'm def looking forward to next season too! Can't wait for a cold winter

just got home checked the yard quick ...and yup night crawlers are out!
-
Thanks choo choo look forward to next years reports and hope to meet up with you on the mighty Oneida for eyes next year. My pals and I try to make at least 2 trips a year out there for a night or two on the ice, but it was a no go this year. only two trips to Black Lake and one to Chaumont. Lots of miles for marginal fishing. have a great soft water season and look forward to next year. Remember last year on Valentines day getting to Lewis Pt. at 6 am and it was -28 air temp. Best present ever.

The Oneida Lake Assn. Is a good outfit. People working hard for the good of the lake and membership is just $5.00. Everyone should be a member. Their spring meeting is very informational and a good time....

Wow it really opened up out there last night. Dead Shad are everywhere.
-
lots of open water today....

They ice is piling up pretty good too.
We will see what's left tomorrow.

appears to be open all the way across and as far west as i can see, still looks like the east end has some ice, but as soon as we get east wind im sure that will change. hopefully the eyes will head towards the creeks soon
-
Looks a cool down later this week...
-
Open water from Cleveland to Constantia, hard to believe people were fishing that in Cleveland 3 days ago. Time to get the little boats out. :)
-
Got 2 bald eagles out front stalking North Bay right now. Sorry for the crappy pics. They look a lot cooler thru the binoculars but I only have my phone for pics.

That's how I can get my wife to eat venison. Wrap a piece of backstrap in bacon strips and grill it and she's like hey this is pretty good :laugh:

Great pics Fred. That is a nice Atlantic. He will be tasty out of there. ;)
-
Bruce Haven't yet hated to freeze it but lots of running around next couple days , then it's heading for a meal , the meat was awesome , great texture and hardly any fishy smell , next time I see ya I have a few questions , you maybe interested in what I have seen
-
Sounds good.

hey.....that sled looks very familiar ;).........nice job on the salmon Fred

Boy those bacon wraps look awesome.. Great pictures mister.

Nice Fred .... Beautiful fish. I want to try for them next year in the Adirondacks,..... is it more productive to cover water and jig for them or spread out some traps and wait them out ?
-
Too be honest Steve I don't know much about their habits it's a learning curve , I've caught lakers , but not LL, 2 were landed in 2 trips and 1 lost , we jigged them up on the same stuff we use for lakers , I will be spending more time on them next season ,
Check with Bigred or Jager they are very experienced with those fish as you know I chase eyes and perch most of my time ,
-
What a kick in the pants mother nature is giving us. It warms up enough to wreck the ice and then after the record heat it gets cold again. Just 1 week too late. :'(

I'll bet that they are on big bay tomorrow. it's been froze for 3 days. Sully...
-
Unreal.

no one on BB yet just went by. Looks like good black ice but it almost looks like theres a ring around the bay with thinner ice near the shore
-
Looks like the whole lake is locked. It got down to -4. It looks nice anyway. :'(

Mother nature's way of protecting the walleye and perch population I guess. ;D

The perch should be happy the ice went away when it did!! 😈😈🕳🎣😁

Freddie's daughter, Morgan found a way to utilize worn out saw blades that many contractors, including myself, simply throw in the scrap bin.

-
atta boy Trap.......they never said fishing was gonna be easy ;D.......got a few decent ones there friday morning....it was a little chilly.......nice friday night fish dinner though......those 9"ers are pretty tasty
-
That is a beautiful painting. :thumbsup:
-
From final 4 last year to first seed in the NIT unreal
-
Kind of like the end of the walleye season. Total disappointment. :'(
-
That painted sawblade would make a great clock.
-
well for the second time in march the lake has froze over completely this weather is whackey ... watch we will have one of the warmest februarys on recored and one of coldest march. so much for getting eyes in the creeks prior to the closer
-
Certainly has been a strange ice season
-
Too little too late. And now we can add a foot of snow on top. >:(
-
Love the saw blade, very nice!
This is like the 5th time my pond has refroze this year, the Red winged blackbirds aren't very happy. Could probably walk on it this morning if it wasn't Monday.
-
I saw red wings and starlings , and after today looks like some strong winds , what a strange year
-
That saw blade is awesome! Freddie, your daughter is talented. I have some old sawblades kicking around if she is interested
-
Thanks Bob she will very much appreciate that , you know this is the first winter in years we never shared ice
-
I know Freddie!! First season I haven't been out there once with walleye gear this winter. We will have some catching up to do this spring...that's for sure

You have perch in that pond of yours?🙄 I know a cookoo bird that would be very happy to visit!!😜
-
Bass, crappie, and channel cats is what I stocked. It does need to be thinned out a little..... ;D. An ancient snapping turtle showed up a few years ago, need to get him or her relocated. I'm afraid this snow will put a stop to the walking on water for now. We're getting hammered..... :wacko:
-
FYI - at the OLA annual meeting on May 3rd there is going to be a speaker talking about the many ship wrecks on Oneida lake. There are dozens of them from sailboats to tug boats to tour boats. This subject is fascinating to me. It should be a great presentation.
-
I'd be interested in hearing about the wrecks!! Should be very informative!!!😎
-
I got several of the wrecks locked in , I did some reading on a few pretty interesting stuff
-
That sounds really interesting. I think I'll bring my oldest boy with me. I love the local history of our state...especially Oneida lake

reel I find the subject fascinating myself and I done a lot of research on the subject ,what originally caught my interest was the fact that we had a inland body of water with so many ship wrecks and they dated back to the 1500's, another unknown fact about Oneida lake is that years ago it was said to be home of a lake monster like nessy or champ on champlain ,one morning i was on the lake and another boat was fishing rather close to me .....i noticed a strange wake then i could not believe what i seen! the most hideous creature i have ever seen rose out of the water and attacked the other boat! even tho i was petrified with fear,somehow i was able to get a picture of the beast ...later i was told it was the famous oggo pogo .........

you simply can not deny evidence like this
-
I think you spent too much time "indoors" today...h2l
-
The ol stories of oggo poggo, casting bobbers in the trees while crappie fishing with you Trap are the best!!!😁
-
A great book that I have read is The Tales of Oneida Lake, by Jack Henke. If you guys want a good read, check it out!!😎
-
when of the most interesting things I found out and this is true battle island in fulton ....the island not the golf course ,was where ethan allen was wounded during the French indian wars the story is amazing and to think I been fishing there since I was a tad pole
-
Good stuff Trap!!😎
-
as kids we found arrow heads down there
-
You know the history of the island in Pheonix between town and the car dealership? Towards 3 rivers.... I had heard arrowheads were found there as well. I think it's Stowell Island?? Correct me if I'm wrong.
-
Went yesterday to hit some ice only to find my access was drifted in 😡 I guess its plan B 😉
-
You should be good to go tomorrow, Gonna be wet though...
-
maybe tues
-
Well today is it for me on this tropical 🌴 ice ,ended up with 32 hard earned perch , lots of sorting but I'm not complaining, I'll get a few meals out of them , already looking forward to next year , everyone have a great spring thru fall
-
Nice job Freddy!
I couldn't resist one more trip myself. Tossed at least 20 small ones back. Bankers hours too, 10-5. ;D

Nice job on the perch gents 😜

I am so jealous
-
Way to go Fred and Bruce. Nice ending to a difficult hard water season.
-
Bruce is that Sitka gear your wearing?
-
Must have been on some hot fish! They almost melted their way thru. lol
-
Bruce is that Sitka gear your wearing?
Yeah I got one of the lite jackets on sale. Still expensive even on sale. It works really good though. It packs down really small so it should be perect for the woods.

I like their clothing to. I have a Sitka long sleeve shirt I use for bowhunting. Good stuff
-
When I left You could feel the ice getting spongey , game over for me
-
Jay and I got out on Dryden lake yesterday. A lot of small gills. Kept enough for a meal tonight. There was an inch or two of black and 3 in of white. That is it for the season for us. We will be trout fishing Saturday.
-
Hey tank nice you and jay got enough fish for dinner , looking forward to your stream pics
-
Good work Tank and Jay!!!😎
-
Good for you Tank! Good luck on the trout opener!
-
Well KP can fire up the 2017-2018 or we can just add to ,
Well from what I see so far from the boat this season on Oneida lake the eye bite continues , and the shad population is big but they are on the small side so There should be a significant die off unlike last year ,as of now I'm leaning toward a decent eye and perch bite for the 2017- 2018 ice season , but first some shore casting for those ol marble eyes
-
Thanks for dusting off this thread Freddie!! I too am looking forward to ice... only after I’m done chasing ducks, deer and fall walleye. Life is good!!!😎

, keep us posted Tim , I’m still tinkering with some stuff, but things are ready to go
-
Spending the day at home - just me and my wife. Getting all my ice gear out of storage and ready to go. Expecting to be on the ice in 2-3 weeks.
Happy Thanksgiving folks and hope for some cold weather soon. :P
-
We are doing the same Phil , my equipment is ready just a little tweaking , I’ve lightened my Kenai up I’ll have to weigh up how much it comes to I’m thinking around 5#
Happy 🦃 everyone

Happy Thanksgiving guys . Just my wife , mom and son........Than back out in the woods..

Good luck Dom
-
Between duck hunting and Work... I’ve managed to start going thru my ice gear. New line on all the reels, fired up the gas auger and, got the machines serviced for the winter. I’m ready!!
-
Ice fishing? I still have deer to chase! :o
The extended forecast looks decent. Probably my last boat trip tomorrow. :-\
-
About a week before winter starts showing up ,
-
Got my garage turned into an ice fishing room. My have good ice by next weekend down here. Got plenty of fat heads in the tank. :tipup:
-
waiting patiently here on the north shore on Oneida....booked a trip for black lake first week of January, ITS COMING!!
-
I usually take a couple trips a year to BL to fish with a couple buds that live up that way
-
welcome to December fellers........haven't posted much this fall......too damn much golf and work.......looking forward to some R & R on the ice with y'all
-

What/where do you have booked at Black Lake? Should be good timing.
-
Bring on the ice I am ready deer season is a grind I am ready for a change
-
Temps are looking colder for a while. Also it looks like the snow will be staying north for a while too. We shall see...
The latest episode of In Depth Outdoors discusses ice safety. It was nice to see them highlight the importance of using a spud along with picks and a float suit.
-
I am welcoming the cold temps.....good for making ice and hanging deer its crunch time....lets keep this thread on the front page

I agree. Late muzzle loading. Then hopefully right to ice fishing if it stays cold in Hamilton county. I`m ready... :tipup:

Yup muzzleloader one day and hopefully ice fishing the next
-
I would like to see Lake Ontario cool down some more before we get a good sheet , nothing worse than big snow after a good start of ice making 😡

Expect snow, not ice on the Great Lakes this winter
12/7 - Over the past two winters, the Great Lakes have had a below-average ice cover. And that’s expected to continue this year. One of ice climatologist Jia Wang’s biggest jobs is the annual ice cover prediction for the Great Lakes. He’s with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration office in Michigan, which tracks ice cover throughout the winter. This year, he expects the five lakes to have a 26 percent ice cover. That’s down from the historical average of 55 percent.
And Wang says that means a warmer, La Nina winter, with more lake effect snow. Cold winds can pick up moisture as they pass over the open water, dumping snow when they hit land.
Lake Erie (the shallowest Great Lake) and Lake Superior (the northernmost) are projected to get the most ice cover this year – 48 percent and 31 percent, respectively.
Wang cautions that his recent predictions have had mixed results. In 2016, his prediction was pretty close. But last winter he missed badly. NOAA predicted a 55 percent ice cover for the Great Lakes – the reality was more like 20 percent.
WBFO
-
Well we shall see if he’s on his game a lot depends on the wind direction , Last year the major snows stayed north Of me only got 1 drop over 2’
I’m not one for long range forecasts , I take it as it comes
-
I don't like Wang already
-
I don't like Wang already
Lmao
-
Good one PP!
-
Well, I for one, am losing all respect and not seeing any credability in the National Weather Service (and their warnings) or the meterologists making predictions, long or short.
We had a snow warning last night, today and tonight = NOTTA! barely a flake of snow.
Take it one day at time folks and hope for some good ice this year. We are due!
-
I don't like Wang already
🤣😂

Bought me a couple new lures today. I know snap raps work well but looking forward to giving the slab rap a go.

Great choices Jason for Oneida !!!

Love the slab raps! Definitely joined my first tier rotation last year, which was my worst season ever. Can't wait to see how they do in a more normal season.
-
Last year was the pits , I believe this year is going to be very productive , everything I seen this year points in that direction 🤞
-
Let's hope you're right Filet ;)

Freddy - last week I noticed the eyes were gorging themselves on gobies. That is the first time I saw gobies in eyes from Oneida.
It will be interesting to see if they eat them all winter. The gobies go deep in the winter...
-
Very interesting Bruce , I’m surprised they weren’t full of buckeyes , the canal has been stuffed on and off lately , I know the perch have been feeding on gobies , I caught some perch last winter that had gobies in them ,
Well it does answer 1 thing , the shad are gone ,
-
Forecast is looking good temps are about to crash and like Fred said if we can keep the snow away a good sheet should set up......I see ponds skimmed over around home its getting closer fellas......and FU Wang
-
Glad it’s not skimmed over yet. This snow we are getting is pretty wet and heavy.
-
I went out late morning and moved 10 more inches and now have another 3 “ and still coming done , 1 day at a time
-
F&R I fee your pain I have been in this truck since 3am I am heading to the barn at 6 calling it a night I know I am gonna get called again tonight
-
Hey buddy I can come in the House anytime as I’m retired, I just want to stay on top , by the way I’m not envious of you for being stuck in that truck for so long
-
Grab up some of that over time now PP before the ice sets up. ;D
-
Just put the tree up... have a very musky christmas lol

Hello fellow fisherman I hope your soft water season was well , and your hard water season is better!

Thanks , hope things go your way also

Nice tree NNY! ;D

At least the snow is cooling the water down. :P
-
Love that tree.....looks awesome
-
Awesome tree that is a great pic happy holidays to all
-
It's gellin now. The snow is slowing it up in maple Bay and we got ice on the shore and the better part of the bay is trying to freeze now. By the time it stops snowing it should have some ice and I think it's gonna be a banner year compared to the ice of late
-
Lets hope its a lot better than last year statewide. never even got on the fingerlakes at all
-
hello everyone !! just moved over from mff.
just came in from snowblowing the driveway. the snow was just below my knees !! the bays are jellin. hope fully the wind calms down so it can make some ice !! I think it's going to be a banner year if we get good ice. Sully...
-
I hope PP runs wang outta town!! Yep, wang sucks!!😜 I hope everyone has a safe and fun ice season!! Happy Holidays to all!🎣🕳
-
Hey everybody checking in for the season! Looks like we might get a early start. What's the deal with all the pictures being gone??

Oh it's a great time for sure!! ;D

Hoping to hit some small water this weekend!!

I hear Freddie is on grandpa duty, i hope Filet is in charge not release!!

I was passing thru near dark, canal looks froze, Schiebells and Marion Manor were froze out about 100' from shore. This was just a quick glance at dark. Looks like it could freeze soon.

has anyone heard from boggey?

I believe boggey was on the ice today chasing strawberries and gills
-
I heard from him today - not sure how he did with the fish.
-
Tell Boggey, we need him back!
-
Question for you gentleman who have fished Oneida a lot more than I have, do you think that Big Bay will have good ice by the 30th? Friend and I were hoping to hit it up that day and neither of us lives close. I'm well aware that the best way to see if ice is good is to check for myself, I'm not new to this but that's not an option. Thanks in advance, stay safe this season and tight lines.
-
stay safe and wait for safe ice

hard to guess 2 weeks ahead I would think it would be good but your best bet is to just watch the thread for more info ... or you can always call some area bait shops
-
that's spot on Trapp. I haven't checked conditions yet. going to give it a few more days after all the insulating snow we had. heard the east end is wide open still. Sully...
-
and we ain't casting for walleyes duhhhhhhhhhhhhh
-
I’m also waiting for better conditions , release said dam mit he misses those days of walking on water and you 2 old farts know what I’m talking about , lmao
Gill wait a bit and keep an eye on conditions page and this one and bring your spud as there are a few gas pockets
-
Just talked to a friend who lives on Big Bay where I park my truck NO ICE!! not sure if it's skimmed over or not' but they have well over a foot of snow so we need some more cold to even consider fishing NYs weekend. I want to go as much as anyone but be patient & be safe
-
Yeah this snow is not helping BB or those smaller spots.

Hit some small water today and only 2.5 - 3" of good black ice but 3" of snow also! Had a yoyo walk out to me with nothing but a beer in his hand! I stopped him from getting to close to me and told him he was a brave man. I told him last Friday I checked this ice out and it was froze here but where he came from was open water, so my best guess is there probably is only 2" where you got on. He said he heard a crack but thought it was normal? Wow!
-
Haven't been here for a few years so had to make a new account.

Fish central ny, owasco, Otisco, cayuga

Hey swimmer your right I am in charge , release is on the same wave link 😜 , the other morning the kids had a snack in their back pacs and release wanted to know where his was,how sad is that 😉
Jeez ,
-
Thanks for the replies guys, I planned on watching the conditions and checking here but just thought I'd ask what you all thought. And as for the gas pockets I'll definitely have the spud, deal with them on the North End of Honeoye, they are no joke.

I saw plenty of stupid people on the ice this weekend Hard to beleive no one went in. I fished in 3' of water and put the smackdown on the brooktrout. :icefish:
-
Met Phil(fishforpike) today, that was cool. And caught some fish too. It was a good day.

Got out Saturday and Sunday for some early ice ....crossed the Mason Dixon line into nepa for better ice and caught some fish.
Limited on Bass Saturday with a few perch and pannies. Sunday was slower , 2 keeper bass, 1 nice crappie, and some sunnies and bluegills.
Always something magical about the first trip out...and it felt great getting out there, drilling some holes and seeing some fish on the screen and a few flags too.
Did not want to go Monday with the warm up....hope it gets cold again soon.

Good deal Choo Choo. Your pics are large, hard to view.
I was also able to get out on some small water last Friday. Dusty and rusty for sure. With the warm up my spot is no longer safe.

Thanks Fred and guy's....
Rugburn, sorry about the size...this was my first try here with Imgur and am not sure how to fix the size yet. I had issues dealing with Photobucket and they blocked my access to my account.
So I opened an account with Imgur image hosting but still have issues to iron out as far as posting pictures here and on IF247....again sorry to all.
BTW...awesome job chiefcatchemall and buds !!!!
-
Choo choo there is an easier way to post pictures directly now. When you reply there is an option at the bottom that says "Add image to post". If you click that then you can choose the location of the pic on your PC or phone and post it.
Much easier than Imgur.

New pic system they installed here works great!

I still can’t get it to work on my measly iPhone SE. click on add image, select an image from my photo library and it never shows up

On a dark and stormy day, two fathers and two sons went out ice fishing. Each one of them landed a fish. When they got home, there were only three fish in the bucket. How can that be?

Huh. Check it again. The Wunderground 10 day looks great.
Looks like below freezing from Christmas through New Years with a few nights that should be near zero. Several days with highs in the teens. It doesn't get much better than that.

Day started slow. Left the spot after 3 hrs with 8 total fish. Scouted out a few more bodies of water for trips next week. They weren’t quite ready yet so we ended up going to the spot we started in this morning. We had to really work for them today.

I'd block it out of my memory too Shaner ;D But it's gospel.
it took me an hour of digging threw drawers but I found my notes from that season, I stand corrected, your right, and I was wrong... you got me 2 straight, that makes three actually, remember that day you fished inside of me and fred at constancia?
-
At my house 3 miles north of oneida we got a inch of snow. Leaving in a few minutes I would be very surprised to see any water open anywhere. It's go time this weekend. I have to work Saturday so either sat afternoon or Sunday first light it's gonna be long over due relaxing smashing a few of them big eyed beautiful creatures.
-
Same here Jason. Got about 1" a mile north of the lake.

You guys can have I got last night if your missing it 🤪

I try to forget about that day I fished between You and the ol buzzard outta Constantia... I had to count by 3’s to feel good about myself!!! And, I still couldn’t keep up!! 😜 I grabbed a limit though. That was an insane bite that day. Sightfishing suspended walleye under the ice down 6-8’!! 😁
-
Come on KP it wasn’t that bad , you had a good day , I learned a lot about eyes that day watching them 😉
And speaking of counting by 3s
I started counting by 3s in 1991🤪
-
Just swung by Apps. They said they’d have minnows in later today. Getting close!

Yes, fun day!! I learned that those eyes don’t always eat the bait when you feel a bump. I watched them nudge it with their nose and back up. When I would jig it, they would inhale it. 😈
-
Sight fishing is a riot! Picked up a Kenai stealth last year for that reason. It gets dark in there if you need it.
-
Anyone have any updated conditions on the lake???
-
got about an inch of snow in brewerton last night. my thermometer outside says -7 :o. I haven't checked the ice, but there's got to be some good ice. It wouldn't suprise me to see sleds out there this weekend. there's been a few guys out on big bay. Sully...
-
just checked my area west of chapman 100yrds out only 2in of black ice....
-
Pretty ugly pressure crack too, about 100 yds or so Oneida1. That crack goes east and west for quite a ways.

I recently saw a video of a new snowmobile produced in Russia, designed for ice fishing, working maple syrup lines, farming, etc. They're being distributed out of Minnesota and I think currently there are two NY dealers locally. One in the Rochester area the other in Boonville. I know made in Russia, and I in my 50 plus yrs fishing Oneida have had plenty of sleds, my old Tundras being the best, bar none. But this sled needs a serious look. It's called the " Irbis T- 150. Four stroke 10 hp hitch, rack, under seat storage etc. I think it would pull any trap sm shanty and allow a lot of older fisherman mobility. The price is $2495. You fellas take a look , it's hard to find a good used sled these days for that price, most are hot rods with too short of a track and lousy clutching. Hope this helps .

Well I got to try out my "new", hardly used 2 man Nanook yesterday afternoon. Just bought it from a neighbor for $200 bucks.
Lot's of room to fish and move around with 6 windows for plenty of light. Only had 1 ice anchor, so it was challenging whenever I was not seated due to the damn wind that never let up.
I removed 1 seat to add a little more storage room. the tub is very shallow compared to my old Kenai., but I was able to fit all my gear in. Need to get used to those pole push in adjuster buttons ...a bit of a pain, but overall I really enjoyed fishing out of it. Someday I will get that Otter Thermal...maybe 2020
BTW, fishing was slow, 1 keeper perch, a few dinks and 1 keeper bass. Next trip Oneida ! ...can't wait!

Had a blast on the ice once again grabbed my limit then went in search of Mr perch. Missed 2 other keeper eyes and threw back 10 lb burbot . (https://postimg.cc/image/bn4wwtryt/)

Very nice, guys!!!

yes, north shore
-
Nice Catch!
-
Anyone out there with sleds or 4wheelers...what’s your take on bringing a machine out? Having wheels is always nice to bounce from spot to spot
-
Sorry I found 5-7"
No you're good. I take all the thicknesses reported to get an average to determine if it is getting close for the sled, ticker isn't up to the drags required on Oneida Lake... thanks!
-

Oneida Lake.
That 5-7" is what one guy found at his location, ice thickness can differ greatly depending where you are and the conditions found... tread carefully and good fishing to you sir!

-
That's a big smelt!
-
Monster sea smelt on the Kennebec river :icefish: That was the biggest smelt at the camps and her first one. Now she is ready for more

wired how does it work do you rent a shanty for the night? and lodgeing as well ...looks like a blast
-
That's a big smelt!
That's what I was thinking! Must have to filet them...
-
$15 a person Rent 2 or 4 person shack 6 hr tide to fish. Includes electric lights wood stove and firewood. Bait and tackle. There are hotels around. I stay with my Mom. (http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj204/wiredstone/P1260252_zps265826a2.jpg)

that sounds really great wired I hope you get lots of pictures on your trip i'd love to see them and sure others would too
-
Got out on Oneida today, easy walking on the South shore. First time out with our new thermal frabill, I'll never go back to a shanty that's not insulated!! The warmth is amazing

I was out today. Ice where we fished was about 6”. There were sleds and wheelers running around. Need to watch for cracks. We found some perch and 5 keeper eyes. Tons of short walleye around. Creepers were a must for walking. Play safe guys and gals!!🎣🕳
-
I have to get back to Onieda. Been to long. Got into a few nice eyes down here today
-
Wiredstone, I know it's not as cool as a trip to Maine but the harbors in Buffalo usually get clogged with smelt buy mid season. If you need a smelt fix and you are in the area, drop a line.
-
Would love to try smelting this winter. Headed to Oneida today.
-
Fished out of Sylvan Beach yesterday. Ice was great at 6-8 inches. Fished in 18-22 fow Very little action for me. No walleye, few perch. There were couple of sleds out. Talked to few people, no one reported good action where I was. Glad to see that other people did way better then I did. Great job, guys. Will try again next week.
-
Happy New Year Everyone !!! Sully...
-
You to Sully and all have a safe and happy new year
-
Happy New year. Heading to the ice right now ;)
-
Happy New Year everyone!!! Let's make it a safe one !!!
-
happy new year one and all........giving it a rest today.......19 below at the beach right now......a tad too chilly for me.......gonna have to get an auger extention if this keeps up.. ;D
-
Dennis funny you said that , snag and I were talking about that , I have 1 that’s at the ready
-
I think i'm really happy I have that new gas auger
-
Dennis funny you said that , snag and I were talking about that , I have 1 that’s at the ready
early 90's, there was a year that I couldn't get thru the ice with my hand auger and had to spud a couple more inches to hit paydirt......had to have been 36".......this is an epic cold blast for this time of year IMHO......should be a good base for the rest of the season
-
we have had a cold night or two but this has been going on for a week now I don't ever remember it this cold for this long so early in the year ..... I can see a few extra bucks going for fuel oil
-
I remember I think in the early 80s I was at the pond hand drilling well over 2’ ran to town and bought a model 30 jiffy by the time the freeze subsided I was bottoming out 1 more day and I would have had to spud , in those days we drove our trucks out ,
-
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!! 🎉
My gas screw is ready to go, in the event we need them. Great start to the ice season!!! Play safe!!🎣🕳
-
larry happy new year my old friend ...... I think we'll need them gas drills this year
-
This could be a truck year Fred.
-18 at my house.
Happy New Year!
-
fred I really do think you'll need to give me a lesson on catching those lakers
-
There are way better guys you fish with that do those fork tail critters but your welcome to come along
-
Fred I have buddies that live to fish Lakers thru the ice they go everyday when there is safe ice good waters are only 30 minutes from my house and I have never done it....reason is I hate the taste of trout perch and eyes are way better so I drive 2 hours to fish my favorite lake
-
PP I agree but I can fish pans , perch and eyes anytime , I do it for the fun of it
-
Happy New Year. I agree with you Pimplepounder. They are also fairly easy to catch with a little variation in jigging method. The way the weather is going, Keuka lake will again freeze enough to reach laker water. When that happens, Ill probably take a trip or two there and let you know. Fun to catch, but unless you smoke them, not so good to eat.
-
Well I think lakers are a little smarter than a Oneida lake eyes ,
Lakers are a fish that I cant chase very often do to the travel
-
I'm not sure about lakers or walleyes but I think I was really smart for not venturing out this morning.....still -22F at the beach....... :icefish:
-
My arz is pinned to the easy chair and the my thumb planted on the tv remote , so tying up a few things might be in order today , only nice thing about being retired is I can now pick my days ,
-
Your making me jealous Fred
-
Don’t be jealous my friend getting old sucks 🤪

went by Williams Park.....was surprised at the amount of diehards out......quite a few machines also........they earned their fish today

Bribed release with a beer 🤪
-
I can remember when I was a kid, walking out of mill street with my uncle. A bucket, two rods and a spud. He’d tell me to spud holes as he fished.Had to be 2’ or more of ice. He always had a away of getting limits before I finished spudding holes. 🤨 crazy ol buzzard!!
-
i think it was 2014 or so we had over 2ft of ice and i saw several cars out there may have been earlier the 2014 but it wasnt to long ago

Nicely done Rugburn.
I remember spudding holes like it was yesterday KP. That was always fun. 2' deep hole would be about 2' across too. :woot:
-
Lol, I got yelled at after the first hole... “ You gotta start about 16” at the top.......!!!!” 😁 I miss that ol buzzard!!!
12-14” of new snow in Parish last night!!!😡 -1* this morning. How much snow did the lake get?
-
about 4 TO 5" here in brewerton. Sully...
-
Only an inch or 2 of snow in North Bay.
-
about 4 TO 5" here in brewerton. Sully...
Same amount in Constantia. That will slow the ice making down for a bit.
-
Hopefully those winds keep the ice clear supposed to be up to 25mph

definitely truthful, fish absolutely head lower in the water column when they are seeking stability.

got out for the 1st time for a couple hours this afternoon. ended up 37 nice gills, and sunnies. it was great to get out on the hard water. 12" of clear black ice with 3" of white ice on top. the wind was a little tough !! Sully...

Well done Sully 🎣

atta boy Sully.......good talking to you today........that wind had to have been brutal
-
quite a bad situation up at Chaumont today........blizzard conditions popped up rather quickly apparently and stranded some guys in blinding whiteout conditions......quite a descriptive report on Chaumont Hardwares website.......kudos to Greg for some quick thinking........this kind of thing can happen out of nowhere......scary stuff
-
Definitely scary stuff...they are lucky the guy's Navionics worked during that whiteout rescue....sometimes the GPS fails during whiteouts and blizzards. Compass should be carried by all out on the ice, especially big lakes.
Glad everyone got off safe without frostbite or worse.

got back out for a couple hours this a.m. and a couple hours this afternoon. got 4 gills this morning, and 22 gills, and sunnies this afternoon. was a beayutiful day out there today. hope we don't get much snow after the noreaster goes by. Sully...
-
Went out of Sylvan Beach this morning with my nephew. He caught his first few walleye ever which was a good thing. All in all we caught a dozen or more pins and a few keeper perch. Ice in good shape. Only made it out to 21 feet of water before hitting the edge of all the ice slabs. Nice day to be out.
-
I'm going to head out in the morning somewhere on north shore with the wheeler, anyone now what the conditions are in Cleveland or Taft, ice looked rough there on Sat.when I came back from Edgewater

The ice in Cleveland and Taft is still in rough shape.

Thanks KP, wasn't sure if the snow smoothed it out any
-
Thanks KP, wasn't sure if the snow smoothed it out any
Friend of mine went out of Taft with his sled yesterday. Couldn’t get to where he wanted to due to the rough ice conditions.
-
I took a ride around the lake yesterday afternoon , there sure is some really rough looking ice in some spots ,
-
There are spots out of Cleveland that you could probably get stuck with a sled or wheeler if you stopped. Big peices of ice sticking up going every direction. I had to slowly pick through a few nasty spots on Monday.
-
Yeah. I've been out a few times with the wheeler off the north shore and it's tough. Most of those chunks are too solid to smash down so you have to just slowly weave around avoiding the ones that will hang you up and be ready to bottom out a lot.
-
got back out this morning. ended up with 22 big gills, and sunnies. 14" of black ice. Sully...

Good going Sully

RIP Bruce, your one of a kind!!! Josh and I will keep your favorite crappie hole a secret!!😉 You will be missed!!😇

We can all share a moment of silence on the hard water in his honor...

Rest In Peace Bruce 😇 You will be missed by many

Can you access the lake from Verona beach State Park? Or should I say, do they allow it? Just never hear it mentioned. They have massive parking.
-
Yes there's a trail to the lake from the parking lot
-
If I remember correctly, isn't it a bit of a walk from the parking lot to the ice?
-
I was sent this today

How did the diehards do out there today ?
Myself I would have liked to be out there but after many years of doing this I thought better of it ....
-
I’m tired of cleaning up snow
-
I drove the north shore around midday. Dead out there so either everyone went home early or not many out.
I hit the last hour of daylight. Lots of lookers, only a few takers. Still managed a limit.

Fished Lewis Point today. 12" of ice where we were. Lots of shorts and some perch. Lost my box of lures on the ice somewhere. Anyone find it, send me a pm.
-
Took a little trip west and put a small hurting on the perch and gills, morning bite sucked but between noon and when I left at 430 the bite was great. Ended up with 36 perch over 9" and a dozen gills

Today on the ice after I pulled in my limit I started playing with the new slab rap I got. I really don't have the patience for them. I did put one short up with it. Something different. Don't think I'll be stocking up on them like I did the lindy darter and the bigger ripping raps.
-
Hmmm... looks like I might have to make a trip up on my 31 day vacation I have coming up starting the 12th.... hmmm leave for key largo for 8 days the 19th and then out to Arizona on the 30th for 7 days.... gonna be a tight squeeze

Looks like the 3 fish 18 inch size limit is working. I was able to land 3 keepers and 6 other shorts from 8 inches to 17 " inches.
1 nice smallmouth and a few small crappie. Fun Times , but very windy with lake effect snow squalls from I guess Lake Ontario or Finger lakes....lots of elbow room out there today.

Grandkids out this afternoon - she hooked and landed her first fish through the ice all on her own. Classic rocket, came in slammed her lure. She was all excited, watching the graph and just crazy when it hit. :P

Great pic Phil
-
That's awesome FFPike, nice to see the kids showing interest and to witness the excitement, been there some time ago with my kids. Hope to enjoy it again with the grandkids one day
-
The smiles are priceless. Glad your enjoying retirement Phil!! 😎

Doesn’t get any better than that.... see the jumbos still like the kast master.
-
got back out this morning. got 22 nice gills, and sunnies, and 1 12" crappie. Sully...
-
there is a ice rescue under way out by shackleton shoals. person trapped on the ice. Sully...
-
Oh no! Worst nightmare!
-
All is well sled went in and was also rescued , didn’t say if it was a gas hole or a crack , just caught it on the noon news
-
I saw it on the news also. thank god no one was hurt ! Sully...
-
Apparently he tried to cross a pressure crack and sled went in..News channel 9 showed Bridgeport rescue on an argo pulling in the sled equipment and fisherman all appeared intact. Any other reports on the ice today??
-
Just came off the ice. The snow is sloppy but the ice is great.

Thanks..gonna have to see how much rain and use good judgement if I go out tommorow might just have to wait a few days.

A bud of mine watched the DEC take a couple of guys in straw hats off the ice in handcuffs today on Lebanon Reservoir. Not sure on the violations or the horse. My friend caught some gills and passed the inspection. Still 5-6" left with a flooded shore line, boot height. 56 deg.
-
Awesome, It's about time they did their jobs! Now if they would show up in the spring at Lake Moraine with a tape measure to see how many illegal Crappies wingnuts keep that would be a bonus.

we have a total of 33 officers now consider they can't work 24 hours a day nor 7 days a week and often thanks to the states cut backs they don't even get compensated for the extra time they put in,i think they do one great job..... i thank all the men and women that try to enforce and protect our laws and people ....thankyou
you see violations get a cell photo a lic plate and make a call

I get that they can't be everywhere all the time, but i have called our CO several times about the issues there and nothing happens. He wants you to get video, plate numbers, names, ID, Vehicle descriptions....... some officers are doing a great job ... others need to retire! I talked with a CO at the State Fair and asked him if he knew our CO ..... he said with a cheeky grin ''ya i know him, some guys get older and lose their drive"! Don't get me wrong, he seems like a great guy and has followed thru with a couple of complaints that i sent him and he responded with updates of the situation but just seems there could be a better visual presence that may deter some of the BS

With yesterday's 60 degree temps and not going fishing, this is my new tag-a-long just in time for this snow.

Nice Smitty Sled Zeker! That won't be tipping over like that old red sled...
I remember losing soo many minnows in the early years using one of those plastic sleds!
Always wanted to put outriggers on it! Then I bought a snowmobile and built a Fish Trap!
Then it was Game On!! Lmao ;D Nice artwork too...a perch Z...
Good luck fishin' & stay safe out there... :tipup:
-
The fishing and condition reports are rolling in like molasses on a -11 day.....going to try Lewis for the pm bite
-
is anyone fishing ?????????????????????????????????????????? Sully...
-
By the sounds of it Sully your doing well 👍🏻🎣
-
nobody on big bay at 3:30 yesterday.....what gives Sully
-
I'm going out this morning. I haven't been out since the warm up. doesn't sound like anyone else has either. Sully...
-
interesting no one on big bay ..... maybe if i get time i will drive by
-
Well, I did fish this morning. 3 small gills that went back to swim another day, and 1 11" crappie. The ice is in great shape ! 15 to 16" of ice. The lake is up about 2' :o.
On a side note: while it was warm last week I built a smitty shanty. Today was the first trip out with it. It worked amazing !!! All aluminum frame. put my 1 man canvas on it, and stayed nice, and warm. It pulled easier than my jet sled. I'll see if I can get some pics, and post them. I should get a patten on it. A few of the guys out there came over, and checked it out, and suggested that I patten it before someone else does. Sully...

strange day today.......obviously did well but was very unexpected......drille d my holes and the muddy water from fish creek finally showed up.....couldn't see my jig a foot down the hole.....thought to myself, self, you might as well move somewhere else......thought I would at least try for a while and was surprised with the amount of fish I marked......ton of shorts and a few keepers with perch mixed in with the eyes........wish I had a camera to see if the water was muddy down deep....cause it was certainly muddy on top......ya never know ......
-
scout ive done well in the past in water like that too i think it gets the fish active
-
Was the muddy water from Fish Creek or Oneida creek ? Maybe both.
-
Nice job Scout !
-
Was the muddy water from Fish Creek or Oneida creek ? Maybe both.
combo of both I would guess Oldtimer

The saying amongst the old crew was to "run monkey puke at the chum line" Always a good bet! ;D
-
Way to go Scout57. Nice work. I fished this afternoon and marked a lot of fish. Lost a nice fish on the fight and caught one pin walleye. My water was murky to. 26 fow.
-
Got out today with Specs, Walleye Bob and Hondo for the pm bite and had decent action for a bit, managed a limit plus 1 and no perch. The Walleye Keeper Ice fishing contest totals so far are.... Walleye Bob 5, Moose 3, Hondo 2 and Specs 1. Specs iced a nice 20" male today

Yo Sully,
Glad the smitty has made you more mobile. You will last many more years dragging a lighter load. Can't wait to see the pictures bud. Of course after you patent the structure eh? :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

-
Yo Oldtimer,
Haven't heard anything from you in awhile my friend. Do they catch any perch down there in Lake Capitcypoopalah (made up name to prevent locating Old-timer's secret winter fishing grounds) ? I have to confess this has been the best fishing season for me in 10 years. I am looking forward to your return and getting to use that "wacky worm" bud. Drop me a PM will you?

Well moose looks like a good day on the ice 👍🏻
Yep was fun! A short but sweet bite, trips like that make up for the ones where they leave you talking to yourself!

Sent PM... no perch here that I know of. The specks (crappies) are just starting to turn on. They start out smallish but now getting a lot better as females run out of river into the lakes. Few over 2 lbs being caught. It will get a lot better after tonights low of around 30 and tomorrows high struggling to get to 50. 15 mph North wind will make for a chilly day. Got trl hitch and wireing on the new car. Work on boat tommorow and will be ready to go. Strange rules in Fl. . I see a single guy in a boat with 15 or more rods out. Trolling.
-
Well done, Freddy. That's a nice haul.
-
nice job Freddy.........striped gold

Thanks guys
It’s been quite a spell tasting those striped devils , today an 8” perch would have been in real trouble 😜

-
We are starting to get the Eyes figured out.... if that's even possible! But the Perch have been a struggle, we'll pick up a few here and there but have never caught more than a dozen. Any thoughts ???
-
well from what o see moose your doing good on them eyes

Moose, we'll have to work like a pack of dogs, Just need to come up with the signal. ;) Oh, that's right, I have your cell #. :woot:

-
Good job fellas , I got out around 9:30 first spot was a dud , so I moved over and fished with snag , I got a limit of eyes and dumped several , landed a few perch , they were there but tough I couldn’t figure them out , ones I got were nice , after missing a couple the next eye got the watch eyed pony look

Nice eye NNYice. That's what keeps us going back ;D ;D

went back to old faithful this morning for a couple hours. 33 big sunnies, and dropped the crappie of the year at the hole. I had his head out of the hole. it wouldn't fit through a 6" hole ! I reached down to pull it through. the hook popped out, and back down the hole it went !! I said a couple words that weren't quite english ! the ice is in great shape. 16". Sully...
-
Good and bad day all in 1 Sully
-
Good job on the Sunnies Sully to bad you lost a beauty but that's fishing i guess.
-
I ventured out yesterday. Fished with friends and made new friends. Lots of fish on the screen all day, but, it was a grinder to get them to play, for us anyway. I managed a limit of eyes, quite a few white perch and no yellows. Mother Oneida has an unique way of humbling fisherman from time to time. Yesterday was my time. I’ll be back at it next weekend. Stay safe everyone 😎

Lake trout? Thin ice? Did Release put you up to this? :-\
I do realize now that you'll go that extra mile for a trout though. ;D

How is the ice for snowmobiles? Is there any snow or crust for the scratchers to keep the sliders lubricated or snow for getting on/off the ice?

, and we each kept a limit of eyes

Fillet , with that distance of spacing between your holes can you see your lure on your depth finder from either hole? I imagine its yes but wondered. Thanks .
-
Some nice 'eyes there...h2l
-
Nice fish right there! That ice in your shanty looks pretty good for the scratcher to dig into...

Yes dog I can see my jigs right down to a mud bug with that spacing , I could space them out farther , I only had the sensitivity at 2
It goes to 20
-
Nice fish right there! That ice in your shanty looks pretty good for the scratcher to dig into...
I’m sure they would , I just make up a little solution for the slides and go slow with no trouble

Buckeyes vs fat heads, I hate buckeyes as they are tough to keep alive but they seem to catch more eyes. Anybody use only fat heads and have success
-
We pretty much just use fatheads and keeping them alive for 10 days is pretty simple just change out their water a few times and using an aerator helps. Also, keeping them cold helps.
-
Made it out today... not Oneida. Managed a 20” eye and 12 perch. My son managed 12 perch as well. Dumped a lot of light biting walleye today. Lots of marks, no biters. Seems to be the story on Oneida too. We’ll be at them again next week.
-
Buckeyes have a harder (more bony) head that I have found keeps them on the jigging raps treble hook better than the softer head of the fatheads. I have had more fathead heads stolen by light biters. Just a small difference but makes life more enjoyable when it is real cold out and you don't have to re-bait as often.
-
Well guys don’t forget your creepers, Oneida and a few others are really slick , if you don’t have any now would be a good time to invest in a pair , there pretty cheap compared to a busted arz , I did see a few without them doing the he ice shuffle
-
I haven't moved off the couch for the last 3 days. was pretty sick. f'm feeling much better, and jonesin for some fishin !! i'm going in the a.m. Sully...

Sully DR release said catch a limit of gills a call him in the morning 🎣
I heard it was slow today chow did well though
I got out from under it by going to my grandsons wrestling tourney 👍🏻
-
Had 2 firsts for me Friday....Drove up to Otsego Lake for the first time ever ....and caught my first ever lake trout through the ice .
It was a blast and nice change of pace.........not a lot of marks , but managed to fool 2 of them.
It is funny how these deep cold water summer dogs can be so damn frisky and become winter stars come ice season !
Can't wait to chase them again.
Beautiful lake .

Lakers are pretty fun to jig up in the summer too!

They were a lot of fun...really enjoyed catching them reeleyz.
Seeing Your ice laker pictures, along with Freds, Snags and the Lake George guy's posts the last few years, was the motivation to try it....sure glad I did.
KP...and anyone that has not tried laker fishing yet, .....definitely worth the effort....and a nice change of pace .
-
Nice fish guys. Decided to give Oneida a break and hit some smaller waters. Had to work for the fish but found a few perch for a fry.

you da man Sully
-
Nice haul Sully!
-
Good work Sully!!🎣🕳
-
Thanks guys ;D ;D. Is anyone else fishing ? we've got fantastic ice conditions, and now's the time to get out there. Before you know it, it will be gone. The days are getting longer, and the ice is making alot of noise, because of the long daylight hours. Another 3 to 5 weeks, and it's going to be over. I hate to even think about it. watch out for gas pockets. They are begining to open up. I've seen a couple good size ones in big bay. There is also a monster crack all the way across the bay. tight lines everyone ;D ;D. Sully...
-
Thanks Sully for the heads up
-
fished this morning. got 18 nice sunnies.as soon as the sky cleared the bite was off.
Good to see, and talk with ya today Trapper !! ;D.
Hey Freddy. Trap says if you can't park there just slap him up side the head with your bucket ::) ::) ;D ;D :%$#!: >:D.
Sully...
-
Omg I thought bucket slapping was your signature move lol
-
Nice job Sully!! I hope your wrong on your ice out prediction though. Hoping to fish until the close of walleye season....on the ice that is!

I hope i'm wrong to Bobby, but i've been on the ice almost every day, and what i'm seeing, and hearing out there is a tell tail sign of what's to come. we've topped out ice making conditions, because of the long day light hours. the ice is expanding big time, and we lost a couple inches of ice in the last week. there's still alot of good ice out there, 14", but when it starts to go bad, it's going to happen fast. Sully...
-
good to see you as well sully....I posted on the other tread ....went toward your holes and caught a flurry enough for a couple diners ...thanks .....wow after all the pike fishing it felt funny fishing out of a 5 inch hole lol
-
Groundhog saw his shadow, 6 more weeks. ;D
-
Yeah that woodchuck is always right...NOT!!
-
I'm thinking mid march ..but Im looking forward to open water fishing
-
Stupid ground hog..
The original ground hog ceremony was a religious thing and they ate the woodchuck after .... ;D
Im ready for the boat Trapp... :thumbsup: :clap:
-
yeah stupid woodchuck ....it's all his fault
-
We will be ice fishing in April this year.

Fred that is freakin awesome!! Those pics are great.

Thanks guys

Freddie we all envy you :thumbsup: :thumbsup: he looks like he'll be wrestling in the states to me

I enjoy watching , but I do get a little excited at times ,😉

I enjoy watching , but I do get a little excited at times ,😉
Those wrestling matches are exciting and intense Fred.
2 kids...one on one in a circle on a mat.... with all the coaches, teammates, friends, and family yelling and screaming instruction and encouragement ...cheering for every point made...the ebb and flow of a match is awesome.
The best part for me is when the match is over, the winners arm is raised, ,,,,,,,, AND THEY ALWAYS SHAKE EACH OTHERS HAND BEFORE LEAVING THAT MAT...sportsmanship ,.... and fun to watch.
-
I enjoy watching , but I do get a little excited at times ,😉
Uncle Andy needs to pay a visit at his next wrestling meet!!!😁
-
Not sure if you guys seen it, but I watched the Penn State(1) vs Ohio State(2) wrestling match on Saturday night.
Rec Hall was sold out and with 6700 people, it was LOUD!!! Penn State won it 19-18 with a depleted starting squad and fired up second stringers.
It’s just amazing to see as kids like Umpa’s little man progress thru the years up to the collegiate level. It takes a lot of work by those boys to get to a top D1 program like the two that I watched! Good luck in your future, little man!!
-
Moose feet, the flu is hard this year. I had it in dec and again 2 1/2 weeks later (made for a later start to fishing). So take slow for a while after you feel good.
-
Well late start this morning was heading north got as far as Adams ran into pretty heavy snow visibility was squat , wasn’t even half way there going at 35mph decided to turn around and head home , I’ll give it a shot another time
-
Yeah, this latest snow storm headed our way stinks, at least if you're a walker it does.

Well today is the best I've felt in 10 days! I'm hoping for my own sanity and those nearest me that I can get out this weekend! Being sick sucks but being bored to death is worse!
-
Moose glad to hear things are looking up
Don’t rush it ,careful you don’t get a relapse

LMAO KP!! Made my day!

Nice Fred! Not a place for 2# test, is it? ;D
No sir , you know I think I had good fortune after my start yesterday morning ,got a half mile from home and my trailer jumped off the ball, glad I wasn’t wheeling along but was a bit heavy putting it back on , and then I get to my destination and my power screw doesn’t want to start and that’s never happens , it did after a bit 😡so today taking care business is in order that comes before chasing fish
-
nice fish Fred ;D ;D. sounds like a rough start, and a great finish !
I haven't been out. my wife had neck surgery wednesday , so nurse sully is taking care of her. I should be able to get out in the next couple days. Sully...
-

-
Jeez Sully I wish her a speedy recovery
Now I’m having a hard time putting the 2 together , (Sully and (nurse) , I will be down that way soon to fish some flats maybe trapp will join if you can handle that
Trapp your prowess with a fillet knife is legendary 🙄

Nice that they went back. Yea, I was going by the pic with the ruler-thought they were same fish in both pics-my bad. I can't imagine the size of the fish those guys with you caught. Expect you will kill 'em tomorrow (today?). Cya.

Thanks Jason ,
-
Sounds like a perfect day Fred.
-
Yes sir that’s what I think is a great day
-
nice dinner Freddie :thumbsup:
-
I've noticed that usually around nine when the eyes are done that's it. They are tough to get. I had them on my screen at 10:50 and I played with them for 10 minutes and they wouldn't bite. I had them 15tf off bottom. They would chase back done and nothing
-
Good job on a tough bite guys! Had a couple buds out there today and got skunked...... that's Oneida tho
-
Good job Fred!!😎 we went north... skunk off is needed!😡
-
All in a day's fishin', right Fred?
I picked up a jack for my trailer today at Runnings. On sale $19.99, 2000#s. (sale's off now)
I can't pick my trailer up off the block to hook it up if it's loaded anymore.
But, hey! You were picking your's up from the GROUND! Yikes!
It's a good thing you went for some PT today. Good man. ;D
-
Your absolutely right Doug
Here are the eyes and few of the perch I got yesterday

-
MMmmm, looks like a full plate to me KP! ;D

Perfect vehicle for spring ice conditions...
-
Can you imagine the fun factor, I'd never wet a line!
Then I can see the person at DMV shaking their head, NO SIR!
-
Why can't I see that pic?

MMmmm, looks like a full plate to me KP! ;D
👍 just a way Freddie and I describe walleye....I never met a walleye I didn’t like!!😁

What a perfect day to be on the ice. Too bad I am at work! :'(

It is nice on the lake today but I don’t think I can take much more of the looks,it’s been slow for better than 2 weeks
-
What a perfect day to be on the ice. Too bad I am at work! :'(

Nice Waldo Freddie! I caught two of those Cisco a couple weeks ago. I threw them back... people say they’re good to eat. I never ate one.
-
That a boy Freddie!! Great pic with the eye!!

Holy schnikeys, Freddy! Nice eye.
I caught quite a few of those ciscoes trolling spring browns last year too. Their numbers must be coming up.
-
Nice Freddie. :thumbsup:
-
Nice job Fred !!!
I got back out this a.m. got 22 nice gills, and sunnies, 2 crappies, and 1 4 lb bass. The ice is going to get sloppy by the end of next week. Sully...

Well guys and gals it’s now coming to the time that things start to get fun and also can be spooky like pressure cracks opening up , gas holes start appearing, shore lines weaken , creeks need to be given a wide birth and as always I say bring your spud along , I know there are some that will scoff , I know there is lots of ice still be careful , 🎣

Wise words, Freddie! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
-
Well said Fred. Next week will do some damage. Hopefully we can squeak out a few more weeks after that.
Less than a month left in walleye season...
-
Freddie is right we have a foot and a half of ice most places but we will have some bad spots you really need a spud with you
-
boats ready for a finger lake if it gets too nice like last year but hope it's a short warm up
-
It's supposed to be in the 40's all next week. That will do some damage.
got out this a.m. for a couple hours. Ended up with 14 gills, and 4 crappies. A little sloppy on top, but still in good shape. Sully...
-
that crappie action is going to pick up now sully ,it's that time of the year again ;D
-
Finally caught a decent Eye this AM. 29.75" and 10.1lbs. 6" hole was almost too small - came through like a cork coming out of a bottle. @)

Awesome job on the eye FFP!!
-
Thanks guys, it was a blast. Could figure out what was holding her back at the hole - head and gills were in the hole - if Jimmy hadn't been there to reach down and pull her through, not sure I would have landed it. Might be the last 6" hole I ever drill! @)
-
Omg phil those girls need a little more room, over lap your holes
-
Freddie I hooked a good one at my fishing hole didn't get him in and only had a short time to fish
-
Trapp you’ll make them pay next time 👍🏻
-
Hey Phil, pretty amazing that you didn’t take the pajamas off that fish when pulling it through the ice!!😁
-
I want to thank my bud KP for helping me out with my sled ,
-
that KP guy is pretty handy to have around ....and I just bought a couple bags of casting bobbers ;D
-
I want to thank my bud KP for helping me out with my sled ,
It is Andy who is the thoughtful one! :woot: :roflmao:

That sled of Release’s is the fastest 550 fan cooled sled I’ve ever rode... it rips for an Ol Buzzard sled!!! 😁
Trapper, I’ll bring coffee!! Been awhile since we decorated trees with bobbers!!!😁 gotta get Freddie out with us. You better get an extra bag... we know how his sidekick is!!😜
-
Hey guys I know how to decorate trees , I may join you , ,I think I have a few casting bobbers left , will my walleye rod be heavy enough 🤪

fished (wasted my time) the Beach this morning......there's 4 hrs of my life I can never get back ;).....1 burbot and 2 short eyes.......hope other guys did well......machines were out (not me) including wheelers.....they are tearing up the access......I left at 10:30 and it was still ok but quite a few machines were still out and will make it worse when they come in.....not saying it isn't accessable by walkers but wear rubber boots.......ice is fine......although I did notice that drilling thru 18" is getting easier......ice is starting to get weaker....imho.......s hould be fine thru the weekend but extended forecast looks bleek...........side note: water is getting murkier and discolored from runoff....this is not intended to sway anybody from going out just my observations.....be safe everyone

Good report Scout!! Thanks!! 😎

Thanks Scout!
P.S. - This weather sucks!!!
yes it does

I got out yesterday morning in big bay. I couldn't catch a cold !! 4 sunnies, and 1 crappie. Everyone around me was smashing them. Going in the a.m. I will post when I return.
As far as ice conditions: We lost alot of ice. About 6", and the 12 to 14" we have left is still good, but like Scout said, it's a little softer cuttting. there was also a current twards the channel. With the rain we got today, it can't be any better. There was also alot of open holes, and gas pockets. So if you go out, watch where you are walking. Some of those holes will swallow you up !! Sully...
-
Thanks Scout!
P.S. - This weather sucks!!!
This weather is just awful!!!! 😡 Seriously!!!!😁

sully i'llbe looking for you I can fish in the morning

I got my waders ready to get out in the ice in the a.m.. guessing the sled will be a no go getting off the shore. Looks like it came quick and she's gonna leave quick.
-
came early this year i'll ride it out I'm betting we have longer then most think
-
Thanks Sully for the heads up
-
having a extra cup of coffee this morning ...I want to be able to see when I go .... just powder painted so hair jigs to add to the box ;D life is good for me now to beat up some big sunfish and maybe a crappie or two :icefish:

We are who we are guys! No sugar coating needed!! Truthful, give honest reports, and throw some tips along the way. The ol buzzards on here have been nothing more than educational for me and others. I’ve never considered them old and stupid!! I love it when internet heroes hide behind the screen and keyboard. There’s a long list of followers for them “ old” and “ stupid” gentlemen!!! End of story!!!!😎

Speaking of sap, going to grab a few beers and head to a buds sugar house today and smell the glorious steam & wood smoke of the season.
To those receiving unsolicited advice, ignore them like a heard of sheep on the screen! :P Rugburn OUT!
-
Rugburn when I was a young man I use to help out in a sugar shack and I couldnt get enough of that smell while it was boiling down
-
I sold my whole setup a while back, I ran a small 2x6 evaporator with 120 buckets. Never sold a drop of it, gave most of it away, or bartered with it. I still have a life time supply in storage. Pancakes anyone! ;D
I did keep a few pails & spouts in case I get a notion to make a batch of dark kettle syrup over a raging wood fire!
-
A lot of work goes in making syrup

Freddie I have no idea that guy has sent me 3 threatning and rude PMs so far ...I have no idea why or who he is ,but I ain't going to tolerate that kinda foolishness any more ...and best I can figure he's mad because I took RG's pledge and carry a bag and pick up trash or because I showed respect over the passing of a American icon .... who knows .....
anyways I got out for a few hours and hammered med to small perch and got a couple dinners worth from 5:30 to 8:30 .....I would say where but in all honesty the ice is getting rough and I don
t want to feel responciable but I had fun ;D
-
Was over to sugar house last Sunday. They were getting ready. They had a very good year, last year, about 1800 gallons. It is quite an operation...h2l
-
and as far as Freddie being stupid .....he's the best man I have ever known when it comes to judging and reading ice and how to not go swimming ,he's also one of the most knowledgeable walleye fisherman I know ......

LOL. I got sap coming out my ears. It's beginning to interfere with the ice we have left. It's a tough decision - guess I'll go on the overtime clock for the maple project. Sleep will have to suffer for a couple weeks. :P

Nice evaporator Phil... Looks nice..
I didnt do any this year but I sure am missing the smell..
-
Lots of work and a pita hauling and boiling the 40 gallons of maple sap to get a gallon of maple syrup....but much easier and better yield, sweetness, and taste than the syrup you get from boiling sycamore , walnut , or birch tree sap. Birch takes 80 to 100 gallons of sap to produce one gallon of syrup!!....and it is very expensive.
Woody, from woodys port Ontario bait shop makes some great syrup from maple trees.
I buy some there every year.
Any of you ever try maple cream ?...try it... it's unreal...makes you cry it is so good!

just got back. the shore line is shot. the water came up another foot. the main ice is ok if you can get to it. I ended up with 8 crappies, and 10 sunnies. Sully...

choo choo - all good getting out there, I'm not in it for the $$ at all - give, or barter, it all away. Yep, I've made cream and sugar. Awesome stuff for my sweet tooth.
hardwater - got to add a few beers in there too, while the boil progresses.
Keep after them Sully - walk the plank, if need be. :icefish:

[Im sure!! Trying to come up with a proportional equation to determine how much beer does it take to make a gallon of syrup! :woot: :woot: :roflmao:

OK which one of you dropped 3/4 pail of perch on my porch today, iced down too, really good stuff. :)

Might be I hear the fat Lady warming up for us, IF she makes it through the next 2 days it will take some real cold temps to get any integrity back in the ice.

Gonna be a game time decision in the morning. After tomorrow if I go it's about time to hang it up till next season. That ice is getting soft quickly.
-
had a nice last day on the ice today.....fished with Brian H, Tim Thomas, Ken and a couple others......fishing could have been better but grabbed a decent batch of perch.......got to see a bunch of new Frabill gear and watched some cool videos being made........ice is deteriorating rapidly......probably my last day on ice :'(.......weather is not looking good.....nice meeting you Tim and Ken

Sad season , we had great ice and now we get big wind , warmer temps and rain , so another year almost done , my plank is in the truck and don’t forget your picks , spikes and spud and be careful
-
[Im sure!! Trying to come up with a proportional equation to determine how much beer does it take to make a gallon of syrup! :woot: :woot: :roflmao:
Well, lets see ........ Boil rate of ~7gal/min( edit "hr" sorry I had to make this correction). My sap is 3%, so 30 gal to make one of syrup in about 4.5 hours. one beer/45min = one six pac. Maybe a couple more for good measure. :woot:
-
My god you are a math wizard 😉

Thanks Trapp ;D Yup glad I have my float suit, if any ice makes it through this mess and firms back up I'll feel a whole lot better knowing I have it on.

when I was out yesterday I could hear a faint noise in the distance of that fat woman singing ::). the ice is getting soft, and with no real cold coming i'm afraid it's over. rain, and high wind = ice eating machine. I think we will be walleye fishing in our boats before the season closes. Sully...

We almost got to prime time on the gills, maybe we will be perch fishing in March this year in the boat too. I had the sled ready for A trip over with you all again this year too.
I found the culprit who dropped the fish off (Fast Eddie from the old bait shop in Constantia) A friend of his got them Friday in Chaumont, I guess he went down on the ice and bruised his ribs and couldn't clean them. Ah well, nothing wasted here.
cny

Nice fish DD
-
Might drive north to check out a few ice spots...Rain supposed to let up and wind calm down this afternoon.
Yesterday I put away all my bitter cold, extreme ice gear...heater ,mittens,heavy thermals,facemasks,rabbit fur trappers hat, power auger etc. etc. ....might be putting the rest of it away REAL soon.
Nice job DD.
Nice pictures Rugburn...I miss hanging out at a friends Saphouse in the Sugarbush on their farm.....fun times.

Well folks, I'm sitting here eating my lunch in my truck with the windows down and that sun is intense! I saw 3 woodchucks this weekend so I'm thinking.... stick a fork in it!

Red wings and grackles were back at my feeders in Saratoga County early last week :o NEVER would see them until March when winters were like winter in upstate NY.

There will be some very healthy deer this fall though!

No joke Trapper, I have a heavy cattail shore line and they compete for the best nesting sites....

Going pretty good. Been to busy for an old man but get out fishing from time to time. My favorite lake here is much like Oneida in as much as she will really humble me from time to time. This morning was one of those times. Beautiful weather but today was one of those days. Just happy to get out. Looks like a tough March up there. Bad ice and not many good open spots.. good time to get equipment squared away.
-
Glad to here everything is going in a straight line ,
We all go catching but sometimes we end up just fishing 🎣
Keep enjoying the warm weather 🌞
-
Headed north today ended up with 21med perch but it was a pains taking sorting fest but was on ice , which is getting weak , a spud is a must IMO
-
Heard a guy got wet on Black Lake today. Don't have any particulars - be careful out there. Been so swamped with Maple sap and the boiling, I haven't had time to even go look at the ice in over a week. I see the St. Lawrence every day though and it's wide open. Hoping to be out in a boat for some eyes before the season closes on the 15th. I'll be done maple stuff in another week. :thumbsup:
Edit ---- he lost his balance on the "plank" getting off, LOL - not hurt, just thoroughly WET!
-
It sounds better than work Fred!
-
Wow we're getting hammered with snow, 12-18" predicted for my area. :%$#!:
-
we got well over a foot here in volney and it's wet heavy snow
-
over a foot here in brewerton, and lost power for over 3 hours. Sully...
-
seriously this is heart attack snow be careful and take your time cleaning up
-
We lucked out up north, this time. Nothing but a little dust, so far. OK by me.
-
glad for you fish this snow is heavy
-
18" of HEAVY, WET snow so far :o :o power was out for about 5 hours earlier :( Stay safe everyone.
-
Just measured 14" here. Looks like it's not going to stop for a while either.
-
we hit 18 I drove down by Oswego and they didn't get as much .....at least it didn't look like it
-
18” here and power still out.
-
I can’t believe our power isn’t out
-
knock on wood fred
-
I can’t believe our power isn’t out
X2 - those trees are hung pretty bad.
-
snow is heavy and sticking it they had leaves the whole state would be out
-
20" total snow here south of Rome :o sure glad that's over ;D

-
Still no power here in NorthBay. 25 hours and counting.
-
No power down here in Lordville...26 hours now. NYSEG is swamped..and not looking good for us getting the power back on anytime soon.
-
Sorry to hear that, Steve. We had a few flickers but still on. I put in a whole home generator about 3+ years...haven’t had a major outage since! Go figure! But we’re ready if it does.

Glad you’re back up and running, Steve! Looks like some folks will out for awhile. Our time is coming here...don’t know if it will be summer or winter, but we’ll be ready.
-
Morning guys, always read your posts here...good stuff!! :thumbsup:
Quick question....heard recently from someone that the Ballpark area in Pulaski was sold and will be off limits...found it hard to believe but knew where to ask...any truth to that? Thanks for any info, glad to hear everyone is getting their power back on! :thumbsup:
-
Thanks Wayne
I did get out on the ice 3 days on 2 different lakes this week before the storm. Caught some bluegills, crappies perch and some bass. I had a neat double on a tip down, a lm bass and a blue gill.
The highlight of the week , and actually highlight of the year was when I was hole hopping on my bucket, I noticed some movement along the shore way down the lake....OTTER !...NO ...FISHER ! He was working his way towards me,.... out on the ice....back in the woods ...out on the ice ...back in the woods. I had a camera, but it was in the jet sled 80 yards from me ! I decided to stay still and snap some cell phone pictures (lousy pictures) until I could sneak over to my sled. Out on the ice...back in the woods , just loping along, hunting that shoreline ! He even sits down at one point like a pet dog or cat does. He's heading back to the woods, I slip off my cleats, try to sneak over to my sled... BUSTED ...Damn...he takes off in a flash. I did not get any real good pictures, but I will remember that ice trip forever.

Yo Fred,
looks like you got your self a wrestler bud. My son is the Varsity coach. He is keenly interested in Bryce's development. You got to feed him some raw liver. Toughen him up for them third period wins. Future state champ eh? :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Boggey

Yo Choo Choo,
Great pictures. They are so much fun to watch. We used to have a camp up in St. Regis. That was one of our favorite pastimes sitting on the bank of the river and watching the cavorting of the river otters across the way. The other was going to the dump and watching the bears. Oh yeh! we did go fishing too.
-
Nice pictures choo choo .... Saw the same thing on the ice here yesterday in st Lawrence county ...
-
Choo Choo we are coming down your way this week end. If you can give me a ice report any where in that area so we know wheather to bring our gear.
-

Yes trapper, starting to hear about more and more of them being seen down this way too...definitely a beautiful animal...super dark fur , and tail.
really fun to watch reeleyz...I was mesmerized .
I thought it was an otter at first Boggey, until it got a little closer and realized it was a fisher. Must have been a blast up there at your camp watching the otters
I know they are much more common up north , but I am guessing it was a real treat for you too eyehi..
Tank.. I will check a few spots later this week for you and send you a pm.
-
Mason Eddie , the clam shed area is posted , do to litter last fall , there was an interested party in the property but as of now it’s still town property , but you can still park at the ball field and walk up the river , or on the other side of the river you can park over at the haldane building and cross over if you want to fish the west side , when I see the mayor I’ll see how things are going and up date any changes
-
Steve,
I was coming down off my hill last year and saw a fisher come down out of a hemlock and run across the side hill. It was about 11:00 in the morning so he/she may have been after a squirrel? They will go after turkeys in the roost though. They can be nasty...I wouldn’t want to corner one!
-
fishers are definitely expanding their range the last couple years...imho.......hav e seen multiple cats in a couple different areas in the last 2 years......pretty cool to watch
-
Yes I bet they can get nasty. While bowhunting from a tree stand last fall, I noticed the squirrels started talking to each other, barking and fussing. Then the squirrels went quiet, minute later here comes a fisher.
Had one get in a bucket of fish carcasses I had outside. He didn't notice me standing there watching him. He was going to town munching those remains down. I said to him, "HEY What Are You Doing"? He looks up with teeth showing, blood all over his face, then took off. Wish I got a pic of that!
-
A guy got one in one his Coon traps here about 6 years ago which had to be released. 3 guys trying to get it out of the trap and when they did, he didn’t run off right away...he turned and squared off at them snarling and hissing.
-
I got one in My neighborhood

I was reading on the NY State DEC website, they said the fisher has NO natural enemies here in NY State,.... only man !
Nothing gonna mess with a fisher!
Thought it was cool reading that they are one of the only animals that hunt, kill, and eat porcupines.
fishers are definitely expanding their range the last couple years...imho.......hav e seen multiple cats in a couple different areas in the last 2 years......pretty cool to watch
DEC said that they are definitely expanding their range as you mentioned scout.
Watch out for your pets Fred , they are known to kill house cats in some areas!

there is a cool video on youtube of a fisher chasing a squirrel up, down and all around this tree then he catches it! theyre a very fascinating animal thats for sure! search: fisher cat vs squirrel on youtube

I pulled a big male Fisher out of the road that had been just hit.. it was in great shape.. no holes or rips.... It weighed 35 lbs and was about 6ft long including the tail.... I didn’t know they could get that big

that's not a fisher ,could be a other fisher are only 2 1/2 feet and I never trapped one over 10 pounds ....
-
I. caught some big males on Tug Hill a long while back . Some were big, long ? Yes , but never near 35 lbs. never an ounce of fat on them.
-
biggest one I ever got was in volney before they had a season here... got in a fox set ....was a experience letting him go he was mad!!!!
-
Wish4fish
Call the dec and they will dispatch someone to pick it up and take it to the biologist,for study , I did it last year they came right over and got it
-
I think and again I say I THINK ,,,,it is illegal to pick up a dead animal out of the road during it's closed season ..... I'm sure wish4 did not mean harm ,you should call the dec to have it identified .....if it's close to 30 pounds I'm betting you got a river otter and the dec would be very interested because of the river otter stocking program

You can move it to the side of the road , but don’t take an animal out of season and put it in your truck you could get a tick and I asked that very question and that was the answer I received from officer Dorrett
-
Sure it wasn't a fisher at 35lbs. DEC says males get to 13lbs and females to 7lbs. Over the years, have seen many while I was deer hunting. One of my sets was the "Fisher Watch"....h2l
-
hunts exactly what I'm saying I trapped all my life in the north and fisher just aren't that big but.............river otter can be and with the river otter program they are being seen all over ...... I'd be interested in what he found
-
6 foot fisher? 35 pounds? Nice......

Here are pictures I took of a road killed fisher I saw last March near Hancock.. First one I had ever touched or seen so close up. It was a male between 10 and 15 lbs, I think 44" total and beautiful . My boot and cooler can help judge the size.

one more thing ...fisher love to eat porcupines ,often quills are in their fur ....human nature makes you want to stroke the fur to see if it is soft ....be very very careful ,I speak from personal experience .....
-
Yes , They are the ONLY mammal in all of North America that hunts, kills and eats porcupines.
Fur prices on Fisher, like many animals, have been way down ... 20 years ago a prime northern Fisher would bring between $300 and $400 dollars per pelt. ...now they only bring $20 to $40 dollars per pelt.
-
It was a few yrs ago.... I gave it to my cousin who traps he said he’d never seen one as big....I’ll try and find the picture. Holding it by the back feet straight in front of me it’s nose was touching the ground.
-
Same thing happened to the coon fur prices. Use to get 20+ $ per lg pelt and I use to take 100 to 200 pelts to auction. But now it isn't worth killing them, just chase them through the woods and leave them in the trees. Dogs still have fun. We can thank the Russian fur industry for the decline along with others.
-
We need a tariff on imported fur, then watch the prices soar!

OOOPS, had it right the first time I posted it....One of the few animals in NY that hunts , kills and eats porcupines.
But then I read the NYSDEC website
( NYDEC website has it wrong ... Exact words under Fisher: Food and Feeding "they are the only known North American Mammal that succeeds in killing and consuming porcupines")

Love that snapping turtle video...pretty cool.

That video is pretty neat

Would have never believed it, found myself rooting for the porky lol. We have a good sized snapper in our pond, and our little terrier swims everyday when it's hot out. Might have to relocate the old guy!

Sounded like the neighbor had his fox pro call set out, and was doing a little predator hunting...
-
I saw a youtube video of a fisher attacking a fox. It had the fox by the neck and would have killed it except for the person taking the video. I think the noises that the fox was making sounded quite a bit like the noises in the video that dacker posted. I have seen 3 or 4 fishers in recent years, beautiful animals.

Fishers have killed small dogs at the cape cod canal. Decent sized ones live in the rocks there.

Freddie, that's your fungus, you found it and I made it for you.
It's yours if you want it. We can work out a trade when your freezer is full again. ;)
It's up to you...no rush...
I'll get looking for more fungus too, while I look for turkey sign and sheds.
I haven't done any since I did the fish a few years ago and I do enjoy it.
A replica? Wow, now that's a compliment! It does look good from across the room...Thanks guys!

It's a pain Fred but its saving the edges in some of the spots I fish!
I truly hope it works out for ya , but it’s not getting real cold which will add more moisture and weight to the ice
Some of my spots will be toast , we could end up with as much as 15” in the next couple days , hopefully they are wrong
-
It could screw me too. We shall see! Either way the boat is ready!
-
I’m not really ready to hang up my spud just yet 🤨

Well I decided it was late but why not try for some perch , fished from 9:00 -4:00 kept 36 I was pretty happy with the results ,

Freddie you should make a video of some of your adventures.... catching fish like that would be "epic"
-
over a foot of snow here in brewerton.
there was two guys on big bay yesterday, and one of them took a swim twice. they made it back to shore ok. Sully...
-
thanks for the warning fishhook ....we got a easy foot here too
hey music at the fire dept sat?
-
Easily a foot of snow here in Constantia.
We are going to get one heck of a flood in April. There is no way around it now. The ground was already saturated, lake level is already up, and now this never ending snow. Not good!
-
they lowered the river yesterday and day before ....
-
I came through Caughenoy yesterday afternoon and all the gates were open
Here at home we got all of a foot I’d much rather move snow than fish 😡

That knot head release said the wind wasn’t that bad , head out at 8:00 got home around 4:30 with 20 perch 9-12”s , first time I’ve ever seen him that selective , maybe because it’s his turn to fillet 😡

I got my grand kids on the bus and life was good until I turned around and a pair of robins and a pair of red wing blackbirds showed up , hope it was just a hallucination , I’m not ready to hang up my spud 🤨
-
Maybe they were just a couple of scouts checking things out before the rest of the flock shows up from Florida... ::)
I hope Release scared them off and told them where to go! >:D >:( ;D
Nights are still going a bit below freezing, but it's beginning to warm up during the day again...Especially after this weekend...Watch yourself! :unsure:

17 must have been the magic number today. I did the afternoon shift from 1:00 - 5:00 on my private lake. ;D
Kept 17 and tossed back a few small ones.
Maybe my last trip. :'(

Well done Bruce , it’s always sad to see it go , I’m thinking I might get a few more days , depending on the shore line ,
-
Great job, guys.
Just got my perch rods ready for tomorrow. And now preparing the trolling rods for spring Browns. If I was a little more ambitious I could knock them both out this weekend.
-
Good luck tomorrow Chow. It should be a great day.
-
Wow, that's awesome fishin' guys!
I know you 2 guys are in tune with the ice, so I'll just say be careful.
Oh yeah, Good Luck too!
-
Great job guys! Glad you made it out and found some ;D
-
Got out today on Oneida with KP and chowdaire
Tough going for the ol buzzard landed 17 perch 6 whites and 4 eyes ,the yellows weren’t anything real note worthy but they’ll eat , not sure how the other 2 made out ,
Walk out was a breeze on the way in the snow had softened up which made for a bit of a grind ,
I was informed east shore bait and tackle will be opening at 7:00 am
-
Was a great day on the ice today... weather wise. Sunny and breezy. I struggled to find fish most of the day. Last move I made around noon put me on a school of juvenile perch, that had an occasional bigger fish. I had 3 flurries that allowed me to put 29 perch in the pail. The fish weren’t the jumbos of Oneida. Kept 8.5-11” fish today. No walleye for me today... last day on the ice for me. Great day fishing with friends!! Life is good!! End of story!!!😎
-
Glad Release, Andy, and Chow had a nice day on the ice! :thumbsup: Even better, glad all stayed topside and safe!!! :thumbsup:
-
Great job guys! It looked like a perfect day to be out there.
-
Thanks guys!! Be safe if you venture out Bruce. 😎
-
Nice job guys. You did a lot better than me. I couldn’t find those perch to save my life. The highlight of my day was finding a spot where some fat smallies were cruising and picking up a few of them.
Until next season...
-
last day on the ice for me. Great day fishing with friends!! Life is good!! End of story!!!
I keep saying same thing then we get another cold snap and I find ice that will hold my old ____ up :roflmao:
been a crazy year and crazy weather ...please be safe guys and good luck
KP glad ya had fun ;D
-
Nice job on the fish guy's.
My ice gear is cleaned up and packed away until next season.

I figured you would’ve pushed in close after I text you. Freddie went off into the next ozone looking for fish. 😁 1/4 mile walk west of us... ol buzzard still got some steam left in the tank!!💪
-
Trap, I seriously cleaned up and put away all of my ice gear this morning. Josh and I would’ve been on open water down south with his boat, if, it didn’t get pinned behind two vehicles in storage. 😡 they get moved out first week in April....😎
-
Nice job to those who got out! Found some safe ice close to home, with some sorting ended up keeping 34 gills, 1 perch, and a few crappie. Didn't think it was going to happen but those cold nights firmed things up nicely. Fun to share a nice spring day on the ice with some fellow fishers.
-
King Perch....Tell Josh that I hope he has a terrific year bass fishing ! ....and keep us posted on MFF ! ;)

Good work on the panfish Dave!!!😎

Yo Guys and Gals,
I managed to get out yesterday. Was supposed to meet up with a bud on Goose bay, but ended up fishing with a bunch of strangers (Not for long) from Boonville. Glad they turned out to be friendlies as Old Boggey had to rerig the old F150 with ice fishing equipment I had put away in the barn and low and behold , forgot the nils. They were nice enough to let me use there auger and I cut some holes with in talking distance from them and proceeded to do what I do best. No not singing, :cookoo: :cookoo:, catching dink perch in 3 fow. I've had lots of experience catchin dinks at the Pond and knew if one is patient and endures, there are bound to be some keepers in the mix. There were, maybe say a 20 -one keep ratio.
Anyway, let me preface this short story with the set up that old Boggey has been off the ice for nearly a month and I was pleasantly surprised when one of my north country buds ,,John, told me he has been fishing on 10 to 12 inches of ice at Goose Bay and Chippewa on a regular basis for the last week. On entry at the South side boat ramp the ice was solid and crusty . No snow to speak of and an easy drag,if you were dragging. i was not. I was a pail sitter for the day,a pole, a spud and my bait can. There were about 10 other shanties and pail sitters on the ice when I arrived at 8:30. A side note . get there early as the parking lot was full . I parked about a block away in an area that did not have "No Parking " signs on it.
A few observations, the ice was 10 inches thick for the 2 holes I cut with one inch of white crusty ice on top. I had my monocular with me and scoped the north side of the bay (Kring's Point). There was visible open water around the point and in the channel. The perennial air boat was at work stirring up the ice chunks and breaking up the ice mat for the boaters. One lone fishing boat was noted with 2 occupants from my vantage point on the ice. The weather was cool, 24 degrees,and overcast on entry with a slight 10 mph wind from the north east. The sun came out about 10:30 and it warmed to a brisk but warming 42 degrees by the time I left at 2, thanking my new found friends from Boonville for the loan of the auger and the conversation.
The catch would have numbered a thousand plus with some of the smallest perch I have seen all year. The keep was 30 nice perch of 9 inches to eleven inches in my pail. My best luck was when I switched to eyes from my spikes and fat heads. Those dinks can raid your hooke relentlessly if you let them. It is much harder for them to get the perch eyes off the hook, plus it keeps your jig in the water a lot more when you are not constantly re-baiting it.
As usual, these are my own observations, I am not advocating nor disapproving of access to Goose Bay. All should be cognizant of varying ice conditions and changing weather patterns as this time of year should warrant. I might have forgotten my auger, but notice, I did not forget my spud. Spud Sp[ud Spud.

Got out today from 10:30 till 3:00 ended up with 26 yellows 20 were med , and a bonus bullhead 🤪, the sun was warm and the breeze was cool , by 2:00 the holes started to glaze over
Also met some nice guys from Watertown , I was down wind of some venison and onions cooking and it was torture , they offered but I had packed my lunch but it was nice of them to offer

Nice job everyone... Wish I was out there......

Way to go Freddy. Amazing how the ice is holding up.
I agree but we have rain coming our way 😡 we shall see how the ice fares ,
-
The end is near but with this seasons weather I cant complain. Still havent planked this season...
I must admit to a small disgression...I fished open water yesterday. Hit a few trout in the river near home. Water was quite cold!
-
Sounds like some good action Freddy. Nice job.
-
it's been a great season ,crazy weather but we got a last minute save , I have no complaints I fished the ice then open water then back on the ice, one thing I do notice for last ice it's not as good (numbers wise) as I hoped , to be honest I am doing better in the open water , I think i'm just going to chase the fish where I can row .only because the open water is really starting to heat up ...... you all just stay safe
-
You hitting the ooen water from shore or from a boat Trap? Either way, glad you've been able to get after them and find some!
-
I can remember fishing when the water on the ice was running down the hole like water going down a drain. Black film circling around in the hole AND the perch were big and biting...maybe you guys will get a little of that action when it rains...but 50+ degrees and night temps above freezing doesn't sound good...watch yourselves!
-
Unfortunately I think that shore ice will go bad really fast this time. It is not good ice, it's more like frozen slush.
Sylvan might survive for a bit longer.
Be safe guys.
-
Hopefully no one will end up on a giant sheet of ice floating away from the shoreline! :o
-
By the looks of the flag shown on the beach cam, that wind has been blowing hard out of the east south east today.

Fished from 8:00-3:00 , kept 23 had a few 12and over with 1 tank being 13.5” , most 9” and over with a couple stout 8.5” , plus 1 pain in arz northern ,those perch fought like crazy

Great perch Fred!

Good lookin meal there Fred 👍🏼

either those are big perch or that's a small thermos !!!!
Freddie good job!

Biology. Yellow perch typically reach sexual maturity in 2–3 years for males and 3–4 years for females. They are iteroparous, spawning annually in the spring when water temperatures are between 2.0 and 18.6 °C (35.6–65.5 °F). Spawning is communal and typically occurs at night.
Freddie brought this to my attention so I did some reading .....this gives those perch a pretty wide temp zone to party at ,i'm beginning to wonder if in some areas where our last ice catch just isn't as good as it should be if a lot of those perch did their thing when it was 65 degrees and raining 3 inches a day
-
It seems like the perch in Oneida spawn right after the ice goes out.
Ever notice how some years the males are losing their sperm early? I have not seen that in a while on the ice at least. Last time I can remember it the temps got really warm and it rained hard in mid March. Water swhilring down the holes kind of rain.

reeleyz is right, never had my hole look like someone poured milk in it this year. I noticed the young males just starting to stage a few weeks ago, no girls showed for the party. My bud found them in shallower next to the weeds that day. Again that was a few weeks ago, and I can't get to the spot safely now. My guess is the limo is pulling up to the mansion loaded with the hot chicks soon. Now the ice can leave fast please so I can give them a ride home in the Lund.
Nice catch F&R! Way to stay on 'em...

Way to go Fred, you must be thinking of trout fishing on Easter Sunday with a hammered nickle spoon about now. ;D

Awesome job on the perch painting Doug .... Looks great on the ganoderma applanatum canvas .... I usually sell those mushrooms in the fall ...
-
Awesome job Dug!

Hey, thanks guys! Special thanks to Freddie for some of the tastiest fish I've ever had in my life...Oneida perch and walleyes! 1st off he risked his life to retrieve that fungus, almost fell off the ladder! Then he risked his life again walking on crappy ice day after day to catch enough fish. Not just for his freezer; but several of his friends. :woot:
Thanks again Fred...I'll have fresh fish tomorrow. ;D
Oh yeah, I thought that walleye fungus was pretty mean looking; but he looks small next to the perch...he must be a Seneca Lake Perch. lmao :o
eyehi, ganoderma applantum...thanks, I can still learn something every day. ::) I didn't know there was a market for them, painted yes; but not plain. I never knew anyone who collected them let alone sell them. PM me your number some time and I'll hang on to it. I like to trade...
I made a different Star or Snowflake last year. This one is the 2017 star. It has a genuine Swarovski crystal rhinestone in the middle. Kinda kool, I think. ::)
And I do have more... ;D It's a great wife present...
I will be at the Wildwood Sports Center Spring Sportsman's Flea Market on April 14th from 9am-4pm.
It's a good sale, lots of goodies for guys like us...you guys might like to come...I'll try to put up a flyer on here in a bit...
Thanks again guys, I do enjoy all your posts.
Freddie, say goodnight to your cat :afro: ;D

You better be careful out there Freddie. There once was a time when the legend used to walk on water!!! 😁 As usual, Good work on the fish!!!😎
-
Nice job Fred.
I just put the sled and ice shanty away. Oneida is not looking too healthy around the edges.
-
Nice catch Fred .... I'm headed out tomorrow morning ....
-
Atta Boy Freddie. KP's right ya know...be careful out there...No one can REALLY walk on water ya know. :unsure:
All the snow around here is gone now after today! It rained A LOT! Carpenter's Brook is over the banks!

I received my annual membership renewal for the ONEIDA LAKE ASSOCIATION in the mail today. As some of you did as well. Please support our Great Lake and renew your memberships. Also, give the extra membership cards to friends and family so they can become an important part of a great organization. 😎

Was anyone just watching the cams now to see a guy on a snowmobile with fully loaded sled head out into the setting moon with huge flocks of geese flying over? Very cool shot,
-
Nice catch Fred .... I'm headed out tomorrow morning ....
Good luck and don’t forget your spud bud 😉
No fishing for me today 🎣

Snow is melting pretty quick around here. Just drove by scriba creek and it about 20-24 inches from the top of the banks. This was observed above the dam. Interested to see what these high winds do to the remaining ice

Well today was my last trip for perch fished from 10:00-3:00 , well the ice was good to start but the wind did a number by 3:00 , with 2 hits the spud went through and they weren’t hard strikes so at that point I called it quits with 26 yellows , wish I could have started earlier , and the males were excited 😜

And release thought it would be appropriate to use that ice for his bourbon Manhattan 😉
-
that ice does not look good at all.....my hats off to you Freddie you stuck with it to the very end nice fish and glad ya ended with some good eats and came home dry buddy........ now lets let the water drop and go put a hurtin on some trout ;D
-
Yes sir
-
Good work Freddie! Enough of the stunts already....😜 crazy ol buzzard!!!😁
-
Way to go Freddy. Glad you and the crew here had a safe season.
-
Good deal Fred!
-
Wow. Way to stick it out, Freddy.
-
Way to stick with it to the end Fred .... I had my last trip of the season today as well .... Still a decent amount of ice just white and weak, heavy rain and wind the next few days will really make conditions dangerous ....finished up with 42 perch 2 males ....

Way to go Freddie, you're the man. I hope you and Release enjoyed that ice you brought home as well as you enjoyed the ice you've been sittin' on catchin' perch! ;D
eyehi, you did good too, 42 perch is a good days fishin' for sure!
Well done fellas, way to leave the ice!
-
Good mess of fish eyehi , 👍🏻
-
Great job guys! Glad you were able to push your season as far as you did and were able to stay dry!! We're the females you have caught all full of eggs still or had some of them started spawning out?
-
perch are still full of eggs here ....if the wind blows from the rite direction these next couple days I may be able to fish in my jon boat this weekend ;D
-
Great way to finish off the season !! with the wind and rain that's comimg I should be able to put the boat in soon. I had a good safe and fun ice season this year, and fished side of some great fishermen, and women. Until next year fellas !!! Sully...
See everyone on mff...
-
I found some ice to crawl on this morning , I was looking to finish with an LL , managed to hook 1 up but it came unbuttoned, (road apples) 😡 I had a decent ice season
Now it’s time to put my toys away and start trout fishing ,
Sully I feel sorry for those open water perch when your boat hits the water
-
It is tough to call it quits isn’t it Fred? ;D
-
It is tough to call it quits isn’t it Fred? ;D
It sure is , 🎣

I think Freddie was the last of us standing and swinging !!!! wish you landed that salmon buddy that would have been a great end! ...now we'll snag a few instead :roflmao:
-
It is tough to call it quits isn’t it Fred? ;D
Funny you say this I left work early to hit the ice but decided against it ...
-
Funny you say this I left work early to hit the ice but decided against it ...
Probably a wise choice to stay on dry land. Nobody’s wants to end their season with a cold swim or worse...
-
^^^^^ this was my thinking as well ... I don't think the ice has enough strength to enable a person to get back on top ....those perch will be in there thick at ice out ...
-
I reviewed my journal last night .... made 32 trips on the ice this season December 17 - april 2 ... 150$ in bait receipts ... good memories ...
-
That is a very good return on your $150 spent for bait....h2l
-
Ended my ice fishing in feb when the ice got a little bad and started working the camp. Today we get our cabinets installed,counter tops get measured on Thursday and new flooring in 2weeks. Missed out on some good fishing but in the long run I’ll be happy ( the warden to)
-
just throwin this out there.......WHERE THE HELL WAS THIS COLD BACK WHEN WE NEEDED IT IN MARCH.......just sayin......rant over ;)
-
No kidding cost me a few days , but April 2 wasn’t bad , if that rain and big wind didn’t hit I could have gotten a few more days 😊
-
just throwin this out there.......WHERE THE HELL WAS THIS COLD BACK WHEN WE NEEDED IT IN MARCH.......just sayin......rant over ;)
I was thinking the same thing this morning. A perfect string of cold nights that we could have used in FEBRUARY!!!! If that happened we would still be ice fishing. ;D

Stopped at the walleye hatchery today
They were stripping and the tanks had some nice eyes in them biggest I saw might have gone around 6#s

reeleyz , thanks for that app. It will be very helpful when planning a trip & watching the weather. speaking of weather , is any one else thinking of hard water? I'm not one to rush away the summer, but I've had my fill of this heat. I'd like to trade in my lawn mower & garden hose for an ice auger & a box of my favorite Jigs.
Just daydreaming out loud

Thanks Bruce

Sorry ;)

Phil I hope your on those St Lawrence eyes

Ha! Wife and I been on the road in a motorhome since May 21st. Home the first week in August, maybe. Been an awesome trip, so far. Over 6500 miles at this point. We are meandering eastward.
Have done just a little fishing; Cats in Kansas now, Cutthroat trout in Rockie Mtn. NP (in the mighty Colorado River, about 10 miles downstream from the headwaters; a pretty small creek at that point.)
I'll be on the Eyes in the River when I get back; have had some guys with good reports.
-
👍🏻 Hope you get some pics for us to look at
-
Lots of PICs, no fish. It's been a trip for sightseeing and visiting national and local stuff. I can send you a link to the PICs, if you want the boredom.
-
Glad you both are enjoying yourselves ,
-
Enjoy your trip Phil!!! Glad to hear you and your bride are having a good time.😎
-
hey guys how many of you are thinking of a little maintenance on your equipment? I started my auger last week and let it run for about 10 minutes It's good to keep a little gas moving especialy in this hot weather also put a fresh charge in the fish finder after letting it run all day. good to keep that battery active. Took an inventory on my panfish jigs and have a list ready for when the stores stock up Can't wait for hard water it won't be here soon enough for me
-
I need to start my power auger , batteries are charged and sled gets started at least once a month , few spoons to be ordered ,and a couple spools of line that should cover it , 😉
-
Shuffled some of my stuff around in the garage the other day. Batteries charged, ATV started, Not sure if I will even switch the tracks off this year. Have not had time to "play" with it this summer.
-
Don't forget to replace those dull auger blades that you grumbled about last winter. Being ready ahead of time means a lot more fun when it counts
-
Omg if he wasn’t grumbling , I would think something was wrong 😜

Those eyes are going to explode Fred! You saved them from eating themselves to death, or from my jiggin rap in two months. ;D

I’ll be on the prowl tonight!😈 the ducks must pay first, then, its ice time! 🎣🕳
Get your raps ready, Stu!!😎
-
Stu if they keep this feed bag on into first ice they are gonna Need an oral surgeon 😉 and the perch are very healthy
-
You guys keep after them, show no mercy to those eyeballs. They deserve a spot right next to the vegetables and rice on your dinner plate. I'm happy to sweep the scraps off the bottom of the lake once ice arrives. :icefish:
I'm after those ducks tomorrow Larry, it's the first day here as well. Unfortunately it's going to be a downpour, and the young bucks want to go out this afternoon and spend the night in order to get a good spot. I haven't decided whether to camp out or not, maybe it's time for the youngsters to figure it out on their own. Then the old farts arrive 5 minutes before legal shooting. ;D
-
good luck tomorrow on the birds guys
No worries Stu the lake is very healthy again this year , don’t know if it’s going to be as insane last year , but from what we saw from the boat and shore , release is all ready talking to himself , that’s an encouraging sign 😉
-
Good luck Stu! Show the young bucks how it’s done😈

I picked up some maggots today.(Mayhoods in Norwich) I plan on checking the ice out this Friday and Saturday morning...

Unfortunately Saturday Sunday and Monday are not looking good. Also calling for rain, I'm hoping not much.

Well at least the water is cooled down so it can freeze fast when it gets cold enough. I have a feeling it will be a while. There are some deer that still need my attention anyway. ;D

Trap, I can't tell from the pic... what type of fish was that little guy? Glad you made it out! I've always called herons "sh!taquarts" because every time they go they leave a quart of it behind... almost as messy as geese :)

On my way home I stopped at Runnings on Rt 31 Syracuse, if anyone is looking for a Kenai pro thermal they have 2 left , and 1 blazer , and a few
K-drills and saw 1 pistol
Got my nils heads back from sharp nils , they cut good as new
-
Oneida skimmed over some last night long way to go tho
-
Saw 2 boats east of 109 this morning. Some skim ice out 100 yards, it's going to be awhile.
-
that water is cold it won't be as long as you thing ...
-
that water is cold it won't be as long as you thing ...
I agree Trap. It should go pretty quick once the temps stay cool and we don’t get a couple warm days a week like we have been.
-
They are predicting 2" of rain down my way. Guess I won't be on the ice this weekend. >:(
-
Yes sir , few calm cold nights , then a spudding we will go , 👍🏻
-
that water is cold it won't be as long as you thing ...
34* last weekend. It’s ready whenever it gets cold.
-
Checked couple places today...one only had bout 2" the other bout 3" but looked kinda iffy spots in places so chose not to chance it....went home..we hooked up the boat and went to port bay....not bad out but couldn't find good perch...ended up about 50yds from ice covered southern part of bay and kept bout dozen keepers...really need some good ice.

Lol and I the seat and tunnel wash , dam that water was cold picking the sled up and putting it on the ice , best part I drove out on the ice and turned around and crossed the same spot , I dried out and went back out fishing another fishing memory 🙄
-
Got lots of those memories, for sure. All good.
Wish I had been with Jimmy, and glad I wasn't, when he had his life's experience two years ago. Whew! He is still squirting water out his back side when he travels through that spot in his boat. LOL.
-
Now that was a near death experience
I like that grumpy ol B?-$/:d

I’d bet that Release has had several lapses in judgement over the years!! :woot: :roflmao: :roflmao:

Any boats out today? With 60 degree temps out it's very tempting, just not sure the boat deserves a road film salt bath.
-
Went up rt 31 yesterday saw a couple boats out there ;)
-
cant see any boats foggy out there
-

Heard Bartell rd bait shop is closed down, can anybody confirm this?
-
I heard they were moving over to where marine 2000 was
-
hey if you need bait midway bait shop in fulton is open and he supplies minnows to a lot of shops he's on rt 3 at the fulton city line steve is a nice guy 315-592-7649 or 315 592 8616
-
Heard Bartell rd bait shop is closed down, can anybody confirm this?
they moved across the street to a nicer facility.....better rent terms also
-
Bartel bait and tackle is located in brewerton plaza, suite 16. It's the plaza with subway.
Yes Trapp, it would be nice to see you on the ice again, and get Freddy out there. Sully...
-
they didn't have much room in the old place
-
The marine 2000 gig didn’t work out. As scout mentioned, they are across Bartell road in that plaza.
-
Merry Christmas everyone!! 😎

larry a merry christmas to you and the family

well skimmed over for about a mile out wont last but the water temp is ready to lock up if we can get a good cold snap
-
You sure you want to deal with both of us at the same time , see ya soon
big bay will never recover
-
quite a bit of skim out from the south shore as Oneida said.....bet she skims all the way across tonight with upper teens and lite winds......won't last but she is really ready to go with a decent cold snap
-
From 81 as far as the eye could see was skimmed , wont take much
-
SANTA BROUGHT ICEE !!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D
-
was starting to skim over farther out at sunset man i just wish we had like a week of really cold air in the forecast
-
Yeah, sucks that its the opposite: warm air with a side of rain
-
Cold snap coming next week
-
Cold snap followed by warm temps and rain, that's the story of this season. We will be lucky to get on Oneida Lake for a month at this point. I'm ice fishing smaller bodies of water but it's not the same as Oneida.

Oh man, I'm drooling 🤤 perfect meal. Welcome back Phil😎
-
Looks delicious just took a bag out of the freezer
-
nice diner right there mister
-
Nothing wrong with that FFP! Nicely done
-
There is ice on the lake ! Who’s first?
-
There is ice on the lake ! Who’s first?
You first the rest of us will be right behind ya 🥴
-
Did they get the boat out? ???
-
Took a ride down the south west shore. It looks like it will tighten up nice ;D. maybe by next week we will be out there !!! Sully...
-
Did they get the boat out? ???
I didn't go into oneida shores. Sully...
-
Did they get the boat out? ???
apparently it is out according to facebook.......being stripped as we speak ;)
-
looks like beach is locked up out a few hundred yards then open water.......hopefully by early next week we will be out there :icefish:
-
Im not sure if that open by the beach or slush covered the wind is blowing out of west pretty could and the slush has pretty much stopped heading east near chapman so i would think its slush packed all the way to the east, either way the slush will help with the wind so you dont get wave action and it should lock up.
-
Slush ice makes for better traction 😉
-
Yep big slussy in front of the house with some open spots. Only problem with frozen slush is it doesn't make for the best ice.
-
no it dosnt but it will help this time around if there wasnt slush right now it would be whitecaps and would make it much harder to freeze consistant
-
Awful quiet, it must have locked up last night....
-
Grab your spud Rugburn and give us a report would ya👍
-
Going to check our usual spot tomorrow morning Moose, south of Oneida, near where the guys on the horses go. Hope you heal up and join us soon! Todd and his dad going out? I'm sure Bruno is headed our way...
-
We are probably headed to same spot, not sure what Todd and them are doing I’ll ask. He’s helping a friend build a fishing shack for Raquette and launch date is Sunday I think. Hopefully we’ll give those strippers a workout👍🏿

I have never used a gps old school here .i honestly carry a compass , ....when you walk out from the culvert about 100 to 150 feet turn left bout 75 yards down usually is a area that forms a gas hole ...I did not see it this year but I would use caution .....a spud is such a wonderful investment....don't rely on my measurements I'm guessing but that's the general direction but a gas hole can acure anywhere on big bay
-
if it form .....usually does as tou walk out from the culvert to the left usually forms a gas hole ! I didn't see it! just saying in the past one usually forms down that way
sully thanks for the message buddy see ya out there ......bringing a antic walkmen and some stevie ray cd's rock in and sunfish life don't get no better
Sooooooooooooo you're saying your really going to do the big bay shuffle ::) ::) ;D ;D All we need now is for Freddy to bring the swan out, and we'd be all set for some serious fishin !!! Not to worry Fred, I will stand guard with my bucket !!!
-
got out this morning. got a limit of big sunnies, and gills, and 2 crappies over 12" !! Sully...

sully :thumbsup:
-
Nice job Sully!
-
Great job Mr. sully....wind was brutal out on the ice here!
-
I fished in that nasty mess yesterday , had a decent day far as fishing goes , got home and had to dry out everything , ended up with a few meals , having a cold 1 after seemed appropriate 🍺
-
Just ONE...glad you got out and caught some fish...h2l
-
Might be just one, but perhaps he has a bubba mug... :P Thanks for the reports....
Hope to get out next week.

Good job on the lakers Freddie!! Your slacking in your old age.... I tell my wife I’m just having one....ONE RIGHT AFTER THE OTHER!!!😁
Congrats to your grandson at the wrestling meet yesterday!!!😎

Atta boy Freddy 👊

Hit Sandy Pond yesterday with my friend Rob and his 2 boys, fishing was terrible. 4 barely keeper perch and 2 23 inch pike. Walked out on glare ice, then the wall of snow collided with us. Total white out for 3 hours. The drag back in was hell, thank God for the 2 boys. 12 inches of fresh powder over glare ice makes for terrible dragging. At least a foot of ice. Gonna try and pickle the pike ;)
-
Nice job on those lakers Fred. They are a blast.
What’s up with the pond DD?

No clue, but we walked off with a young man named Ryan who lives right on Renshaw Bay and he said the big perch just never showed up this year. Should have taken my buddy up on his invite to Chamont. His old man bought a camp on 3 mile point. 2 guys did 175 perch over 10 yesterday.... Good news is I have permission to park there anytime I want ;D
-
Thanks Bruce nice change of pace
-
Got out with some buds today , perch were finicky but I manage 24 good ones plus a couple eyes , I left early to plow snow got a foot overnight
Weather was much better today

Saratoga has some hugeeeeeeeeeee bluegills as well
I heard that too....we spent our time chasing the perch and wallys......maybe next time!!
-
I think it was called finch road gills were huge and a few really nice crappies too
-
I was on the south end....that may by the next trip access spot
-
I was surprised that there was not that many people on Saratoga on a sat.......Maybe the bigger crowds are on Lake George and Sacandaga.

sorry for the delay...just saw this but thanks for the report...i'd like to make it out to oneida either chapmans or apps since i'd be walking...thanks again

Fished from 3 pm until dark yesterday afternoon out of Lewis Point. Easy drag out to 30 to 32 foot range. Should have been there earlier in the day based on what other guys were saying. Ended up with 4 good perch and 1 13" eye that needs to grow up for next year. All on jigging raps. First time using my new cordless DeWalt drill and mora 8" auger. Made short work of thick solid ice. Some water on top but not bad walking. Beautiful day to be out and nice sunset.
-
got out this morning for a couple hours. got 34 big sunnies, and gills ;D ;D. the ice is in good shape. about 16" of solid ice. the top 2" is soft. Sully...

you da man Sully

Won't be out for a few days. Blew out my back !! Seeing the bone chrusher this morning. Sully...
-
Sully, hope you recover quickly. Not good.
I absolutely hate back problems, had them for many years and got them for the rest of my life.
Be careful.
-
I feel your pain Sully! Hope you recover quickly!! The fish are hoping for the opposite, I’m sure!!! 😁. Rest up!😎
-
Bone crushers never helped me. I head off to my PT Dr. And it takes a week to get squared around again... Hope you heal quickly.
-

hey man if ya need anything let us know ....don't be lifting or doing anything you can get hurt on ya got my number .....

Feel better Sully!!
-
Thanks everyone !! Went to the bone chrusher, and she got back in ;D ;D. Will be sore far a couple days. Then I should be back at it.
On another note, one of my buddies went through yesterday up to his waist right next to his snowmobile !!! He must have been on an old hole that opened up. he is ok, just a little wet. Be safe out there !!! Sully...
-
i'm tossing a couple stakes in my shanty find a bad spot ,mark it
-
Geez Sully that was fast!!! I was hoping for a chance at em before you were 100% LOL :roflmao: :roflmao:
Those back twisters are wizards!!!
Had a guy give me the business about walking out of Cleveland Sunday with my spud!!! Besides helping with balance dragging my gear i was fairly close to the gasholes out there as noted on navionics. Nver saw them but i am sure they are there skimmed over with snow on them.
SeanP
-
I saw a guy go through in front of the gas station next to apps on Saturday afternoon, he said the spot was snowed over and he went through and was able to grab solid ice and get out very quickly he was wearing a float suit as well. Be careful and have maps opened for gas holes.

Get healed up , Trapp was waiting for an opportunity to slide right into your bite lmao , get healed soon bud
-
no worrys sully you heal up man
-
cant help but say another warm up and this ice will be iffy....ive been on 14in but there seems to be some holes hear and there
-
Looks like more snow coming so that should insulate and hold what we have
Plus I don’t see any real warm up coming in the next 10 days that will really hurt much , time will tell
-
The top 4 to 5" of the ice is shot. Haven't seen any candling in the black ice yet, and yes the snow we have coming will protect it some what. Always remember that the days are getting longer. The long daylight hours will do more damage to it than anything else. I payed attention to it on the freeze up this year. There was alot of big open spots. I am watching where those spots were. I am willing to bet those areas will be the first to open up. It was a strange freeze up. It's not going to take long to become unsafe once the snow is gone off it, but saying that I think we still have a while before that happens. Enjoy it while it lasts, and be safe around the cracks, and old holes. Sully...
-
and the pickerel were just starting to hit really good :(
-
Hope you feel better soon, Sully! Like FFP, I’ve had back problems for years and will have them for the rest of my days. I use chiro, PT, and home exercises/stretching...a real battle to keep what I’m doing. Everyone’s problem is unique and may require various approaches.
Stay safe everyone!!!
-
Where I get on at my mom’s house the shore ice is not good. I have to pick a spot to walk on or blow through it with the sled. I think it is because of the water level coming up. If the rain stays away for a while we should be okay though.

No snow pack again this year to speak of so shores are going to go fast like they have the past couple years. Boats ready but still time before the sun wins
-
Buddy of mine, yesterday, went through with his wheeler at the shore on Black Lake. Sat in about 30" of water. I pulled him out of it and then back on shore when we got done fishing.
Seems a bit early for that around here.
-
snow for Oswego county anyway
-
Don't be talking BOATS yet!
-
:nono:
The beatings will continue...

I was out this morning ice was solid
I was mid lake no trouble getting on at APPs , My buds furnace quit so we packed it in , I ended with enough for a good meal
Creeks are open so give them plenty of space

A boy scout compass will last many years and is cheaper than a bucket of minnows. I have them stashed in my ice gear, hunting packs, etc. And you don't have to be an Eagle Scout to use one effectively, their basic function allows you to walk in a straight line. I've been "turned around" (in the woods), not a nice feeling. Glad those fellows are ok, mistakes happen.
-
I am looking for other people to hit the ice with. I have all my gear but its much safer going with a group than by yourself. let me know if anybody has room in there group.

a simple pin on compass like this can get you back to shore during a white out i have them on my fishing coats and hunting coats think i paid 3.95 at wal mart
and a big thank you to the 5 fire deptments and rescue workers that went to rescue these folks thank you gentleman

x2 Ice was solid and in great shape where I was today Fred. Shoreline where I access the ice isn’t to bad but won’t take much to beat it up to the point where might have to make a little bridge to get onto the ice from shore (old pressure treated dock section)
-
Glad they are safe and tanks to the first response teams!!
My compass even shows how warm it is in my shanty!!

Great tarpon man! At least you can remove them from the water in Puerto Rico. In the keys tarpon was the only fish I couldn’t remove from the water. Guess they are protected there. Had to be quite the temperature change from CNY!

Yes you can take them out of the water for a quick pic....he was out of the water maybe a minute total. You can not keep any Tarpon in PR all C&R
Great battle and I was in some tight mangrove channels...

They are a blast. Fishing around the mangroves is really neat. Again great fish!

Good call Sean!!
-
It has been snowing 8:00 this morning here in brewerton. The lake is going to be a giant slush hole !! Please be careful around cracks. I'm sure the ice was moving around with all the high winds. Sully...
-
With that wind I think the snow blew right off.
-
It is now 2:15 am, and still snowing !!! At least 2 feet on the ground not counting the drifts. My wifes car is just a bump in the snow !! Looked at the radar, and it looks like the lake is the bullseye !! This sucks !!! Sully...
-
looking out the window I would say at least a foot in Maple bay area
-
yeah Scout, that lake effect band got over top of us, and never left. it snowed from 8:00 am yesterday to 3:00 am today here in brewerton. the wind is going to be 15 to 25 mph out of the nw. fishing is going to be tuff !! Sully...

I got 8" - 10" on the north shore.

Looks like more tomorrow

news said last night sylvan beach was a total white out ......

I drove the north shore yesterday afternoon. East end was much worse at that time.

-
Sorry guys, but I never made it out. going to shoot for tomorrow out of williams parrk. The perch are getting ready to spawn. gonna see if I can get some. Sully...
-
Went out of Chapman yesterday and ice was great. Little soft on top at end of day typical of any sunny late season day. Shore was good. Bite was good until around noon when it died off and we were too lazy to go running around. 84 perch between two of us out deep.
-
Good work mcully!!😎
-
Well done Mcully 🎣🕳
-
That is a great day Mcully! :thumbsup:
-
That's a nice day on the ice Mcully ;D
I didn't get out. Didn't feel good, and turns out I have the flu !! What else can happen !! Sully...
-
Dam sully sorry to hear , I’m sure those fish will pay later 🎣
-
Feeling a whole lot better ;D
Anyone care to guess when ice out will be ?
I'm guessing April 11th. Sully...
-
I will go with April 9th.
There sure is a lot of good ice out there still. I am hoping to squeak in one more trip this week.
-
April 10th 😜
-
April......10.5 !
-
I wish I could take advantage!!! i'll wager on the 9th too!! Work is gonna get in the way of any more trips for me....I had a great season!!! Even fished some new waters!!
SeanP
-
The ice is done !!! Just took a ride around the sw side. It is a dark grey color, and alot of open areas. Saw 2 guys out on walnut bay. Hope they make it off ok. They are hammering big sunnies. Yesterday they limited in 20 minutes. It ain't worth it to me. I'll wait for open water. Don't think the ice will make it to april 10th. one good wind, and it'll be gone. Get your boats ready !!! Sully...
-
Thanks for the update sully!! 😎
-
yes sully they are killing the sunfish at walnut ice was great 2 days ago i didnt get out yesterday but i heard they killed them again................. .....
-
I see several people finshing off from Sylvan Beach and no open water there. Took a look at the North Shore Cam and could only see a small area of open water near the shore. I would be reluctant to go our on the ice now, but it will be a while before the ice blows off the lake. I did not drive around the lake so maybe there is more open water than I can see on the cams.
I say April 15th is the day that Oneida will be ice free.
-
its close to being done i would say after many years when it looks like this its only matter of a hard wind
-
hell I remember chapmans was open water with white caps I reported it sully and Oneida said the same thing and people were telling me I was crazy the ice was fine :cookoo:
-
I remember that lol
-
No Oneida Lake ice conditions here... there’s a thread for that. Just friendly chat here...

Good to see you back on here Ol Timer. Trap is Trap... like us, no sugar coating!! 😁

Is there anybody fishing North Shore? Apps, Godfrey? All you here about is the beach and no ice anywhere else fit to walk on
-

Not yet. The only place with more than 2" of ice is a limited area at the beach. Judging from the reports the beach sounds like a great option.

Ol goon landed a decent trout yesterday
Soon we should be chasing perch 😱

-
Optimistically, I think this rain and warm snap may have been just what we needed to salvage something of a season. Come on cold and NO SNOW!
-
I like your optimism, DD!
This rain cleaned up some of the crap but didn’t quite open it up where I’ve looked. Ice making temps forecast for Tuesday night thru Friday morning, including some single digits.
Fingers crossed.
-
Hopefully any snow gets absorbed by the water on the ice and the temps coming will produce better conditions , think positive
-
I've been getting out down this way the last week or so,.... hoping for better Oneida conditions.
Some nice pickerel on a private lake , trout on Pa. Upper woods pond, and some perch on White lake and Superior in Sullivan County ny.
Caught a real big, 14 1/8" perch that almost tied my pb.

I ice fished Upper Woods years ago! Don't remember much about it. Does it give up some nice Browns?
-
Wow! What a slob. Nice job, Choo Choo.
-
nice fish choo choo
-
Great fish choo choo!
-
Thanks Guy's ! Love those big perch ! :icefish:
It was almost as big as those "super jumbo's" Fred , Snag , Wayne and a few others were catching out off of Shakelton Shoals a few years back !
-

It used to give up quite a few big browns years ago, Mostly rainbows and a few palominos now.
In the spring when the Delaware and other local streams and creeks are high, muddy and blown out, Upper woods is a great place to go if you are looking for trout. ....especially with kids. Electric motors or oar power only for boats . Shore fishing can also be real good in spring and there is a Handicap fishing platform too.

There’s perch out there???🤔
-
I want to mention to everyone that I DON"T KNOW WHAT THE CONDITIONS OF THE ICE IS TODAY AT Upper Woods, Superior or White Lake !
I used my spud every step at all 3 lakes. BE CAREFUL ! Very sketchy areas at all 3 lakes. Some good ice , but some real bad ice too.
-
There’s perch out there???🤔
There used to be until you, Josh, FRed , Snag and a few others found the Mother Lode ! :roflmao: :icefish:

Well no keeper rainbow salmon browns 😃today , but at least no skunk
-
Well guys got out yesterday , but no luck, it’s time to head to Oneida this Coming week ,and try my luck
I noticed something, guys were getting testy on the Oneida lake page ,but there is a reports and conditions page to look at
Or everyone can head over to FB and look at info and videos and bickering over there 😉 good luck all that are out no matter what your chasing 👍
-
Well at least you got out to do some ice fishing Fred.
I got out on Oneida yesterday just after noon until dark. Second trip this year, but this time found a little better conditions, so I decided to fish.
Slow on the larger keeper eyes, but got some nice perch...enough for a few meals for me.
Fished Lewis pt. and found 4 to 6 inches of ice. Big crowd east of point, less people west of point, so I headed west and had to zig zag and navigate over 6 cracks to get out to 20-23 fow.(2 cracks were open a foot or so)
Coming in towards dark I found a better route in , due north of point, and only had to deal with 2 cracks, then hugged the shore back to west side trail leading to parking lot.
Going to try again today...good luck to all and stay safe.
-
Good morning Steve , glad you had a good day , where we were it’s always a very tough bite so we don’t expect to set the world on fire ,
Maybe the goon and I will see you soon , sounds like a nice crop of eyes out there , if it was anything like the fall action it should be good icing , I to like my perch
🎣🌑
-
Hopefully will cross paths again with you soon....I will look for your truck ;)
Great fall action, I heard you were beating up on them real good!
Also looking forward to more of your ice fishing adventures! Good LUck !
-
Yeah not sure why everyone is so testy. Worse than my 3 year old.
We have some better ice for a little while. Go out an enjoy it. Oh and give people some space, it’s a big lake!
-

-
As the world turns on that Diehards page....sheesh!🙄
I finally stepped on the ice yesterday, not, Oneida. Was able to knock the dust off the gear and get warmed up for Oneida! Crappies, bluegills, slime darts and, yes, LM bass!😁 I can’t seem to stay away from them. Good luck to everyone and stay safe!!
Freddie, I’m ready!!😈🎣🕳
-

-

Anybody got info on fishing out of Godfrey? Have accessed it on soft water but never ice fished there. Thanks
-
Hit the ice early this brisk morning. Travel with machines isn’t a problem. Setup in 34’ of water and sat on top of walleye stacked like cord wood. I lost count of how many walleye that wanted to invite themselves to dinner. 😁 4 hours in and only had 1 nice keeper and a couple of perch. Sun came out and they went into slug mode. My go-to arsenal wasn’t working. Decided to make a jump from a #5 to a #9 rap. Game on! Continued to drive them nuts for a couple more hours and picked up more perch along with my limit of walleye. Mother Oneida is a very healthy fishery!
PANOPTIX WASN’T NEEDED FOR THE MAKING OF THIS POST! 😂 Life Is Good, my friends!!!😎

:thumbsup: way to go larry

Wow should have gone with you KP. nice job.

Nice job KP. Panoptix....LOL.
Good walleye bite this morning. Moved for perch and found more nice eyes. I caught a couple nice perch and then headed in. I came back out in the early afternoon with my youngest boy for a couple of hours. We found some biters, enough to keep him busy anyway. ;D

Nice dinner

Good job Bruce
Got out today with the Goon and big MV
Started out on perch but that was short lived as the eyes moved in and it was just silly , so we moved 4 times and all we found were more eyes , only nice thing is we didn’t catch any juveniles , 15 and up to 21”
I put 4 miles on foot , ended up with 8 nice fat perch and kept a limit of eyes

I hare when the walleye interrupt the pursuit of perch....
Nice work!

Good job on the fish guys!! 😎 Man, those walleye know how to mess up a good perch dinner!!!😁
-
walleyes suck ya can't sell em and perch taste better anyways ......i rather have a good perch bite

I was reading the "1 million walleye" article again. I noticed that they left out the real reason that the walleye population has doubled in the past few years......... THE ROUND GOBY!!!
All of the predator fish in the lake, other than walleye (ironic?), eat the gobies. That saves a whole lot of walleye (and perch) fry from being eaten.
So you can thank the ROUND GOBY for this. ;D
I wonder if that is why the walleye population in Lake Erie has been booming for several years... :-\
-
F&R and Goon, sounds like another good day on the lake.....h2l
-
I’m wondering where everyone is today ?
Found some perch but are they finicky , oh well I and the goon are fishing 🎣
-
Not Oneida, but a couple nice meals none the less

went out after the snow stopped around 10 or so.....hit a spot that we did good on yesterday and fished till 12:30 with not a single bite....only marked 3 fish.......weather and wind had them shut down....imo......oh well, nice day for a sled ride......oh, and it is a little bumpy out there.....lots of drifts
-
I’m staying over here where it’s less hostile!
8-14 day outlook shows some cool weather. Hopefully we can plug along for a few more weeks.
-
Good call Bruce! That’s why I quit posting on that thread. Ridiculous! I’ll be venturing out somewhere Saturday.... there’s a mother load out there somewhere.....🤔

Don’t feel bad Scout goon and I tried a new spot , I sat down and thought I struck it rich , smoked 4 tank perch and it was over 😡 then the hunt was on , and the drag was a bear 😓

My bad, think my comments to the rude Master got the other thread in a brief lockdown. Moderators cleaned up most of it. Seems weird to invite a tag along on your anniversary date = troll. Hope to make the road trip up for a change of scenery.
-
You can tell a lot by looking at a person's old posts. F&R taught me that.
A whole lot of questions, not a lot of answers from that one...
Good luck this weekend guys. It should be a good one.
-
Bruce hope to see more pics of the young ones with more big stripers 👍
-
can i tag along with you guys???? maybe you'll share your favorite spots and let me go threw your jig box ? hey you guys bringing lunch? if you don't help me and you come to my area i'm not going to take you to the frog pond and show you how to catch creek chubs .....going to bring my women it's her birthday so i'll let her drag my sled ...... you guys are so rudeeeeeeeeee
-
i didn't tink it was possiable but ....i think i'd rather take been out and show him how to catch walleyes then that other guy :roflmao:
-
Yes should be a great weekend..heading to Chatmont to my "secret spot" ;) Hope everyone stays safe and puts a hurting on the fish population no matter the species.
