Title: Oneida Lake Gashole GPS Coordinates - please post them here
Post by: reeleyz on Jan 21, 2014, 10:13 AM
We have the discussion about gasholes on Oneida Lake every year. I thought I would start a thread and ask that anyone that has GPS coordinates for known gasholes post them here.

I have a couple marked on my GPS, I will post them when I get home.

Small gas hole as I reported on "oneida lake diehards" page.  N 43 14.149'    W 76 06.363'     South east of grren marker buoy 135. Very small gas hole. Area around this way point had honeycomb/ white ice with very little black ice.

I am bumping this one back up since we are back on the ice.

Here is a video that Budman made where he spudded a hole right on a gas pocket.

Do the gas pocket need to be released by anglers frequently? And are we to check them only to gauge the size of gas build up?
Title: Re: Oneida Lake Gashole GPS Coordinates - please post them here
Post by: reeleyz on Jan 13, 2015, 05:18 AM
They are not normally something you want to walk up to and poke around. They erode the ice away from underneath. I think Budman just happened upon that one.

Thanks for putting this up RG. I will compile the coords that I saved from last year and put them back up here.

I went and removed all of my gas hole locations from last year on the navionics app.
Last thing I'd hate to see is someone try to avoid one that's not there anymore and find one that isn't marked.
I'll place them in the app for this year as people make me aware of them.I'll check back here or you can PM the coords.
to me and I'll add the locations.

Do you mean how to add gas hole locations or how to see the ones already marked.I removed all the old ones because I didn't want someone to find one by mistake when avoiding a marked one from last year that's no longer there
Title: Re: Oneida Lake Gashole GPS Coordinates - please post them here
Post by: Growler_ on Jan 20, 2015, 05:38 AM
Is there a way to see the ones other have already marked? Like share an overlay in the app so that we can share information on gas holes, pressure cracks and other such information? 
Title: Re: Oneida Lake Gashole GPS Coordinates - please post them here
Post by: trollingmachine on Jan 20, 2015, 06:43 AM
the ones already found would be great!!i have community edits set on in settings, also what do they look like when put on map? again thanks ahead of time.
Title: Re: Oneida Lake Gashole GPS Coordinates - please post them here
Post by: zaphod4 on Jan 20, 2015, 06:10 PM
I haven't added any yet this season.I did see a post with coordinates for a pressure crack.So I'll add that one now.Last year was the 1st time I used the app.So they 1st few I marked on there were like little red circles.Then I started to use a blue pin tack icon(options for icons are a bit limited).in any case you should be able to see it on your app if you update your map when you open the app.

I have added all of the GPS coordinates that I have to the Navionics App. I think you need to turn on Community Edits to see them.

Can you double check that you can see them?
Title: Re: Oneida Lake Gashole GPS Coordinates - please post them here
Post by: zaphod4 on Jan 22, 2015, 07:24 PM
I cant see them either.I went through and added pin markers on the coorxinates you posted.
Title: Re: Oneida Lake Gashole GPS Coordinates - please post them here
Post by: Slyfox on Jan 26, 2015, 06:27 PM
I just looked and their on it. Its a green dot with a + in it. Very hard to see i had to put the coordinates in to find them but they are their.
Title: Re: Oneida Lake Gashole GPS Coordinates - please post them here
Post by: zaphod4 on Jan 26, 2015, 07:47 PM
I went to each point and added a pin marker.Now they show up nice and large on my map.Only took a few minutes and was well worth the time.Before that I had to zoom in pretty close to see them too.Even with the easy view setting turned on.

Would this be of any use? I put them into a google map, kinda like the Baitshops map that someone made here a while back. Seemed like it was intended for Navionics users before, but maybe this way would be useful too.

https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed?mid=1W1uNs-ydzkOi3Pa-VNwKZ1-VEv-qSuYx (https://www.google.com/maps/d/embed?mid=1W1uNs-ydzkOi3Pa-VNwKZ1-VEv-qSuYx)

How exactly are you folks currently using them? Do you somehow check while you are in transit from spot to spot? I can add to it or edit if it seems useful.
Title: Re: Oneida Lake Gashole GPS Coordinates - please post them here
Post by: reeleyz on Dec 29, 2017, 05:19 AM
That is awesome H2O and very useful, Thank you. I see that you can click on them and get the GPS Coords.

I like to know where they are and I tend to avoid those areas when I am traveling.

FYI - They don't normally become a problem until things start to warm back up a little. That is when they work their way through the ice.
Title: Re: Oneida Lake Gashole GPS Coordinates - please post them here
Post by: H2O-32 on Dec 31, 2017, 10:36 AM
I was thinking it would be handy for those with anrdoid & apple smartphones, maybe they could see them in realtime on the ice as they move via google maps/navigation. Probably could draw a line for pressure cracks too, if given coordinates of where it starts and where it stops.

Title: Re: Oneida Lake Gashole GPS Coordinates - please post them here
Post by: sundowner on Jan 29, 2018, 02:56 PM
I have a question for you "seasoned/experienced" Oneida ice fisherman..... do the gas pockets tend to form in the same spots year after year? I notice in this thread some GPS coordinates for gas holes identifed say back in 2015. Would those spots be on concern say this year or now? Or do they need to be located/identified each season...just wondeirng of the value of transposing all of the historical data over the map that was recently created (I think it was an overlay on google maps or something....VERY NICE JOB by the way!!!! I have the Navionics app on my phone, but even following the previous posted "user guidance", I am not seeing them. Thank You in advance for replies that make it safer for us all
Title: Re: Oneida Lake Gashole GPS Coordinates - please post them here
Post by: bigfish1212 on Jan 31, 2018, 05:25 AM
I also know on navionics you can make waypoints public. Could be an easy way to mark them that more people might see.
Title: Re: Oneida Lake Gashole GPS Coordinates - please post them here
Post by: reeleyz on Jan 31, 2018, 05:45 AM
I just go through and mark them on my navionics based on the coordinates so I know they are accurate.

They are in the same locations EVERY year. Gas holes do not move.

I know that its old but this "gas hole" map is excellent. thank you for taking the time to put that together. heading to oneida for first time this weekend and am glad have this, I know its not an exact map and things change with time but its better than having no idea at all. always been a bit worried if you will about this lake because of them. thanks again appreciate it.

I put the coordinates into a map, but more credit goes to those that gathered the info and put it here.
So, if you find any not here post the gps coordinates here, and they will get updated.

Or you could light them on fire like these guys did:

Thank you for this info.
Making my first trip to the big "O", it is a little bit daunting for a small water fisherman like myself.
Having this available make me feel a little better about venturing out - along with a good spud of course.
