I gotta say this about the drone situation. My buddy has one and uses it alot. It is really cool to get some ariel shots of fishing, boating etc. They are an amazing piece of technology and really fun to play with. You can also make a pretty cool video to some music with one.

That being said there are (and always will be) the a holes who take things too far. Getting within a few feet of someone that you are not with is not only dangerous but just plane stupid. Frankly if you want to pull that crap on me than you deserve to loose your toy. If it is in my personal space to the point that I feel is unsafe, I will take action. I don't give a crap if it is considered wrong or not. My buddy (the drone pilot) agrees with me completely on this.

I see what you did there, nice pun!

All kidding aside, i can't agree with you more. The potential photos and videos a drone can provide is pretty cool, but i would recommend that you stay clear of stranger's privacy with them

I've already got a slingshot, and I'm accurate with it, its already been packed in my rod bag.

I have a drone. I would never hover close, directly over someones shanty, especially not for an extended period of time. Its stupid. Its an A-hole move.

Glock makes a nice slingshot

I still don't see the issue of people flying a drone over an ice shanty . People fly drones over my boat all season it's pretty cool I check the YouTube channel all the time looking to see if he got us in his video.

I don't think anyone would have a problem with a pass over. But if you are going to hover 5 feet over the top of a person or flip shanty for more than like 10 seconds, thats just plain rude. You wouldn't do that to the average person on the street, just cause i'm ice fishing doesn't mean i deserve less respect.

fullThrottle · « **Reply #70 on:** Dec 28, 2016, 10:47 AM »

Little thing like that don't bother me. I don't worry about drones . I worry about drunk people crashing into my boat or shanty with a sled and how to keep a big fish from snapping my line !

One small pike today but it was a bigger fish than what I had on my tip up so I'm happy. 8" in Sunset Bay with a little slop on top that was starting to freeze. Back out there again tomorrow looking for the parents.

octanehi5 · « **Reply #81 on:** Jan 02, 2017, 04:54 PM »

The 10 day forecast looks very good for making some thick ice,bring on the walleye challenge

RaCKaHoLIC518 · « **Reply #82 on:** Jan 02, 2017, 06:31 PM »

I have never fished the great Sacandaga, I would love to give it a try this winter but know nothing about the lake and were to fish for walleyes. i was hoping you guys could give me some advise on where to fish. I,m not looking for secret spots just some general info. like where to get on and what kind of structure to look for . Any info would be great. I have fished walleyes on Oneida lake for years and know the technique. just not familiar with this very large body of water. Thank you in advance for any info. Also what bait would you recommend for tip up fishing walleyes/

Southern end of the lake has good access at Wally World...Aka Driftwood Park. A little further north you can access the lake at Northampton camp site (state park). Or Broadalbin boat launch on the other side of the lake. There's several places to get on the lake. We use shiners and suckers
