ONEIDA LAKE DIEHARDS THREAD 2013/2014

[RTXGuy]

I have been using a 1975 ice king 3hp power auger. Got it from my neighbor. He took it out of the box and it was like brand new! Said he hasn't had to use it on oneida in 35 years! Lol. Does the trick

Those bad boys are loud too, I don't think they even had a muffler on them.

Weather Channel says wind is 5mph in Cleveland...they must have brick on their wind vane...it's not real bad out here but it ain't 5mph fo sho!

Should be good fishing this weekend low pressure system coming in Monday and west winds for the weekend can't wait to get out sunday   

[OTIS]

Did ya ever think, I'll try someplace different today, then wonder, what the hell was I thinking?

[Rugburn]

  Stormy ? U out there ?

Many times but I guess ya never know what a spot holds unless ya try it right

[bcons]

It will be interesting to hear how the bite is this morning. Falling pressure yet this bright.  I'd guess the first few hours were good.
If I had to bet Saturday afternoon through Sunday will be decent.  Saturday morning I'm questioning.  Looks like that will be the tail end of the falling pressure and a steady period.
Guess we'll see.

Good luck all this weekend

For those looking for Pressure forecasts, the closest thing I've found is current conditions map, then compare future casts on directions & time frames for front arrivals.  Then look back at pressures from here through Ontario, or out toward Ohio & Michigan.
Here's the national map, you can then click each state.

This might help also for forecasting the fronts

Down. In Marco Island FLorida no ice to be had.Enjoying reading the posts the tarpon fishing is getting good no  time to fish though.

[reeleyz]

I use this for the front movement and barometric pressure predicting. If you click on the time frame and then choose MPLS/Winds you can get a good idea of what the pressure is going to do.

i'm going out in a couple minutes. beautiful today ! my barometric pressure guage fell off the wall last night it was so high. .   Sully...

[chummer16]

Another beat down today. Fished 12'-39' out of chapman. One perch between two of us and a couple dinks.  Marked some good fish but as soon as you moved the rod the couldn't of left any faster.  This has been my toughest stretch since using electronics.  That makes at least 6 bad outings in a row.  By bad I mean 4 or less.

[coachwarner]

  Stormy ? U out there ?

Think he might be in

[OTIS]

If you marched a fish this morning, chances were they hit.  I went 4 for 6 on marks on the graph.  They didn't want the small stuff, all went for the larger lures.  All perch.  But 6 marks for 5 hours of fishing sucks!

[pimplepounder]

I am very sorry for my post earlier this morning I meant to 30.6 was the pressure.I had just woke up when I post was still a little foggy.

We knew what you meant Pimple! No need to apologize! Are you out of Taft today??

[XC 600]

Otis were you in south bay? Fished my regular spots in messenger then south bay marked very few fish none committed.

[scout57]

nice day on the lake today......fished with a couple buddies and hit a new area for me and dropped in a good hole right off the bat......iced 2 nice eyes and 7 jumbos before 9:30.....dumped a few eyes as well.....most aggressive fish I've seen in awhile......moved to thye spot where I've done good the last 2 days and picked up another 10 perch.....definitely didn't mark as many as I did the last 2 days......most every fish I have been catching in this spot are males ......my budds both got their limit of eyes......I think I'm going to like this retirement thing

[315stickbow]

I'm jealous of you guys that got to fish today. Sitting here at work planning out my trip tmmrw.

Congrats on the fish and retirement.  I marked a bunch today but they wanted nothing to do with me.

[600RevX]

Chummer, same as you today- left outa Taft and hit some mid lake spots, lots of lookers, had a school of eyes buzz through and looked like missiles on the lowrance, but no one would commit.. Next spot landed all over perch, managed 7 jumbos in 3 hours...if you touched the rod at all they left- dead stick glow red genz worm with spikes, only thing I could get to work! But, it was way better than working today!

   I had same results outta chapman wend. Punched wholes all over from 20-32fow managed one nice Eye 19" and 1 Jumbo few dink perch and two shorts needless to say still tough out there.

All you deep water Eye Seekers...try 15-18FOW
We have been on extremely HOT Eyes for a solid week in the same spot...year classes all mixed in and they are HUNGRY!!!
You can see massive schools of bait come through on the flasher, then right behind comes the big schools of smashers
The spot I have been on is somewhere on the North Shore, but well back before the drop...give it a shot, just sayin'

thanks chum....was nice to see aggressive eyes......but the perch are pretty skittish......found a technique that persuades em a little.....light brown plastic worm like thingy with a wiggly tail...not maki....can't remember who makes it.....on a small gold darter jig...with a drop fly and spikes worked real slow....real lite biters.....vex helps out alot...not sayin it will work for you but is for me ....eyes hit on slender spoons....there, I've spilled my guts, anybody else want to divulge there secrets...lol

Alright, got a brown trout on a pk spoon and 2 slime darts, one on a glow dot and the other on a tungsten and maki. Needless to say, all three were surprises on the north shore east end.
