I bet someone walks out from the beach tomorrow. Any takers on that bet?
First it’s Oneida and it’s 21 miles long and at its widest point 4.5 miles wide , so 1 little spot is meaningless, , personally, I have 95 spots on my hand held first come first served , I move off to the next spot ,I use to have a permanent , unlocked with a note use it , just leave it the way you found it , Thanks , no problem

If I was still fishing these days, I'd be taking a ride around the lake today to see where and if any guys are out and taking note of it. I used to do it all the time. You learn the local spots at least. You can see all the parking spots around the lake. You can take note of open water. Conditions are different all around the lake at first and last ice. It could be good one place and wet and soft cracks in another. THAT'S why guys don't like to give reports early and late in the season. All it takes to ruin your day is give someone a thumbs up report and then they go out and get their a** in a jam by falling through thin or dangerous ice...No one wants to be responsible for that. All I can say is, go look for yourself. Find a friend who lives and fishes there frequently and take their advice. The tip to go to App's is the best tip I read on this whole page. Good reports, great minnows and an excellant spot to begin fishing. If you have a machine and a portable shanty for yourself, all the better.Sometimes depending on where you are, the perch grounds could be a long walk...Walleyes wander too...You'll see the guys out now and that's where everyone begins and ends each year. Some spots are a longer walk than others. Snow cover is a real PITA to drag your gear. One end of the lake could be burried in snow the other end could be wind swept of snow...you never know early and late ice unless you see it... Rentals aren't what they used to be. Years ago, several people had hard shantys to rent and would take you out and pick you up later...I guess that isn't so anymore...Sad but true. You learn by doing these days. That's how I learned, with a couple of good friends to guide me along the way. So, find your way there and good luck. It's a great fishery. ><{{{*>
Im 5 hrs away King perch from oneida...only hope for real ice condition on the lake is you guys(locals) thats why reports from you guys is important for guys like me who have to drive that far...im sorry for my comment in previous post..(post is removed)
First day that guys were on Oneida ice was yesterday. They are seasoned anglers and won’t give first or last ice conditions. Myself included....Sorry!
you have to understand we have given reports in the past only to be told we don't know what were talking about or the ice is fine or that were wrong and we sent people out to drown ...sorry your on your own take a spud a life jacket a rope and a friend not tring to be mean but I won't give a ice report out in public I stood watching waves reported open water and was called a liar.....never again, you should own a spud anyways and Oneida has cams you can watch
People dont believe what your seeing with your own eyes cause they think you are the old blind amigo that has Al and Dan to be your eyes and ears lmfao.
