if the temp would drop now and the winds would stay down we would def be out on Oneida this weekend. If it holds till tomorrow I think there is still a good chance for a Christmas eve.

Some pretty good wind is headed this way.

I think we're in trouble, it's going in the wrong direction and the weather looks too warm. Ugh

oneida1 · « **Reply #35 on:** Dec 19, 2017, 10:17 AM »

it mostly opened up from what i can see

slamboney · « **Reply #36 on:** Dec 19, 2017, 10:20 AM »

I can't remember the last time the lake just locked and stayed that way until it was fishable, seems like this happens every year. It freezes and almost holds then everything blows out from high winds when a cold front moves back in.

So uhhhh is there safe ice

trapper2000 · « **Reply #38 on:** Dec 23, 2017, 06:07 PM »

other then big bay I don't remember ever getting on Oneida before the first week in jan . what is the earliest any of you guys got out there?

reeleyz · « **Reply #39 on:** Dec 23, 2017, 06:17 PM »

I fished out of Jewel December 11th back in the late 80s with my dad. That is the earliest I have been on the main lake.

That year they had to break ice to pull the buoys out.

i was out on the main lake dec.24th thats my earliest .... there a thin skim layer on it now im really hoping that we dont get enough ice to support the snow we are forecast to get

With the temps were gonna get everyone is overthinking it. It's going to be fine esp with the snow were getting wind. Plan on next weekend it's time to do the oneida lake thing.

Perfect!!!

Get rid of that junk out there and give us a nice clean sheet of ice.

oneida1 · « **Reply #46 on:** Dec 25, 2017, 08:56 AM »

left house before it was light out got home right at dark she looked frozen across but not 100% sure

oneida1 · « **Reply #51 on:** Dec 26, 2017, 05:25 PM »

forecast shows negative lows for the next 6days

burningdownthehouse · « **Reply #52 on:** Dec 27, 2017, 04:37 PM »

Looked locked up when I drove along the north shore today. Of course, light snow cut down visibility so I couldn't see the whole way across. Won't be long now!

oneida1 · « **Reply #53 on:** Dec 27, 2017, 04:42 PM »

locked up as far as i could see this AM really smooth ice chapman area to the east towards lewis looks rough

oneida1 · « **Reply #54 on:** Dec 28, 2017, 02:38 PM »

only 2in of black ice 100yrds out chapman area needs time

KingPerch · « **Reply #55 on:** Dec 28, 2017, 06:24 PM »

Oneida1 is correct... Lewis and good portions of the north shore were tore up from the last heavy west wind. Looks like a battlefield out there. Going to be tough going for awhile when she’s ready.

I haven't really fished big water much is that jumbled ice alot weaker?

For you science geeks like me, here's good info on ice formation with a formula to estimate ice formation at various temps:

yea Lewis Point is pretty rough going to be a lot of anchor ice from Messengers to the east end. Haven't had time to check the ice so not sure on thickness and quality.

once it sets up, that chunky ice is no diffent than any other ice, same strenghth, but rick at apps said there was a nice ice sheet yesterday 5 inches thick out too the deep water, but there is a few snow drifts and under those drifts the ice hadn't formed well yet, only 2 inches. sorry oneida1 I didn't see this thread when I started mine. be careful near drop offs on early ice , currents from the wind before it froze will still be keeping those areas thinner sometimes.
