Like me and Freddie did on monday yep ended up driving all the way around the whole lake by the time I got home
Nice eelpout choo choo. You make me glad I chose to buy a 4 wheeler instead of a sled. Right up to the last minute I wasn't sure which one to buy. Your eventful day sounds like one of my trips on the ice. It seems no matter how thoughtfully I pack the night before , I always forget something. Anyway, the scratchers thing didn't make sense to me until KP explained the use for them. Short, but still a good day on the ice. Yup! I have sliced my finger on those blades as well. Coongrats on the fish. Eddy would have cooked that sucker up in a heart beat. I was supposed to meet a friend on the ice yesterday and apparently wrote down the wrong cell phone #. You know, Oneida is a very very big Lake when you drive around looking for someone. (IT DON'T WOIK). Anyway settled next to some new friends and gave them my 3 jumbo perch at the end of the day. I broke in the new 4 wheeler and had a great day despite missing my hook up . Eddy and I are going to reconnoiter the killing fields on Sunday and TEAM First Place will be absent for the day. We are getting ready to defend our title as MASTERS OF THE POND to be held a short 2 weeks from today.
That's the attitude ICE-ADDICT!!! JUST DO IT!!! For as much as I can get out, the barometer and toilet paper serve the same purpose! Although it is nice to learn how what can affect the fishing!
It's. Just nuts how people want every piece of info you can give them. Man, take SOME pride in what you spent 10,000 dollars worth of gear on, with your shiny new suit looking like a seasoned veteran and all. But they expect to get more than just tips here from guys like us who have been at it hard core for 10 years and much more. Man, just fish! You'll feel better about it when you have success after making your own way. Tips and advice are one thing, specifics from men you don't even know is asking a bit much. Sorry but that's my opinion.
Does that mean that you won't share the ingredients your recipes anymore ?
Or you could do like the guys next to us yesterday. Invite your friends and leave extra early so you beat us out there and then you can bust open the holes we used yesterday and act like an Oneida Lake hero.Sharing info on the ice is a great way to meet some new faces and friends so come on over and ask how things are going, but doesn't your self respect go down a little when you race out there early and just sit on someone else's holes....
sorry but that happens , fishing is always slow and they really don't have any pride at all , they just want to catch fish , know what they say about nice guys
Im sorry if I offended you iceaddict by asking the question, I am not looking for every piece of info. I asked the question because I have seen it brought up a few times and was curious to what it may have to do with the bite. Im always trying to learn new things as Im only 2 years into ice fishing and I dont get out very often as I work two jobs. To tell you the truth I dont really care how many fish I catch because I go to spend quality time with my wife and my 8 year old nephew in the outdoors, catching fish is just the bonus to me.
Let me preface my response by saying that I might be out of line, but these are just my thoughts...I see forums such as iceshanty.com and myfishfinder.com as a place to share our love of the outdoors, as well as conditions, tips and strategies with one another. I don't see them as a place to brag and say, "ha, ha...look at all these fish I caught in a place you'll never find!" While I respect the time and energy so many of you have put in to perfect the craft of ice fishing, remember that you too at one point leaned on an "expert" for any bit of information you could get your hands on. If we don't educate our "up and comers" and get them excited about the outdoors, interest will fade and our sport will suffer. I am by no means an expert fisherman. I have three small kids, a demanding full-time job and many other obligations. However, I am willing to share whatever I know to help the next generation gain an understanding and appreciation for the outdoors. To the "newbies" on this site: just as you wouldn't hang a treestand right near your buddy's, talk in the middle of somebody's backswing in golf, or move to the other side of the boat because your buddy is catching fish over there, we ask that you respect people's space. Respecting the veterans will lead to a respect for you. Anybody who sees a Fish Trap Pro out there with some crazy guy inside with a Pittsburgh Steelers afro headband is more than welcome to come up and talk with me...just don't drop your line down my hole! Just my two cents... out

If the guy's asking the questions would just read back a few pages all their questions would be answered.
well put night fisher , I and a few others do share and help out , in pm,s just handing stuff out to people that just want an easy way out of doing little to no home work, many of us old timers have learned Oneida by doing it the hard way at least 80% of what I know and still learning , as a few others have done as well , and I to raised a family alone and worked ,I and old Friends learned together and you guys know who you are , we worked as a team to gain knowledge , and I always try to check out a new spot everytime I go if I have time left in a day JMT
