Heres an interesting factoid for Oldtimer, todays the first day this season you could use yesterdays holes for fishing without them freezing over, had too wait to march 28th for it too happen, man we got cheated this yr.
Are you sure? Didn't we have that weekend when the rain caused all the water on top of the ice? I was only out 1 day but I thought people were reporting that the holes from Saturday were still open on Sunday. I get what you're saying though.
The very reason why there isn't commercial fishing anymore...they nearly wiped the lake out years ago. And, you find fish pirates funny? Really?? Many of us don't find it very funny!! And, to the people who think it's alright to park on the narrow road sides down there...THINK about the possibility of safety vehicles that may have to try and manuever there vehicles past your vehicle to help someone who may be in an emergency.Just saying...common sense goes along ways!!
i hope the dec reads this web site-----so they know what is going on and what you are all talking about and it should be against the law to sell sport caught fish in new york. our lakes are for sport not for commercial fishing. and i agree that some of the trusted guys who are local and who fish alot should be enlisted as eyes on the ground for the dec---you guys could tell them where the problems are and who to check so they can enforce the laws and catch these guys---we could tell them ---who littered---who raped and who tresspassed---again----why is it legal to sell our fish---when is THAT going to get stopped
Look 95% of the fishing population consider flat fish a nuisance / trash fish ... $$$ does not come to Oneida to catch flat fish ... But for those that eggs are eaten by the flat fish .....
KP are you lecturing me ? Save it..... My point being .... Now here comes the common sense .. ya ready ? This lake has seen much more consistent 'FISHING' pressure then it does now .... It has survived 30,000 cormorants eating untold numbers of fish and she still flourishes ... All you screaming memmes squawking about how a couple guys... hell even 50 guys taking a couple limits over is going to hurt the population of the fish is RIDICULOUS ... They might even be doing you flat fish guys a solid by taking out all those mature fish.Let's be honest about all this hyperventilating .... those who have fished there uncontested for years have their noses out of joint because of all the traffic ... Seems to me This PUBLIC Lake needs some PUBLIC Access ..... You want to have all the trappings of a PRIVATE LAKE ... MOVE to one .... Common Sense huh ...This little debate has me wondering about all the guys crying for the government to instill more laws ... about turning in another American over fish for God's sake ..... Whats going to happen when the SHTF in the very near future .... Be the same ones wearing the Brown Coat with that funny little emblem on it .... So freaking sad .
i have to get this posting thing fixed
Yeah I agree HT, that was quite an ignorant post.
Boy o boy. Im glad i stayed away from there as i asked a fellow member on here if there was access, he said it was private. I thought about going from o shores but thought better of it and hit a diff bay for flats. Not the bite guys were having over there,but still got a handfull of gills and a couple nice specks. But sounds as things got and are still getting out of hand. Hope to make it out one more time before the spring crappie gear comes out. I had a tough year, but still had fun. As always thanks to the helpful bunch of guys on here. See ya on mff.
in the land of the internet and stupid posts on fish catching. i myself will be on the ice as far away tomorrow from all people period
HT good luck and enjoy the day my season is done maybe one more trip to the north country but done around here.
