but I started setting up a crappie gil rod ....30 inch micro lite glass blank with a eagle claw in line reel .being dead serious here 99.9 % of my ice fishing I only had a mini ht spool for a reel ,not sure if I will like this or not lol .......thanks to bartels bait in brewerton for setting me up with it !

the rod I tied myself and I use it a lot in the shanty I use a 34 inch walking around , the reel feels good on the rod and I like the smooth slow adjustable drop you can get with it ,holds 270 yards of 2# line and it has a smooth drag .....big difference from a mini ht spool lol ,sure these would be great for walleyejigging and trout ,going togive it a try tomorrow big guy you going?

I got a black and red pack shack new 4 stroke auger blue ice armor brown parka if it's cold .....and you'll probably hear me cussing the new reel out

BudMan · « **Reply #218 on:** Jan 27, 2015, 05:09 PM »

I liked those eagle claw in lines before I had 2 break on me. One snapped at the shaft connecting it to the rod on a really cold morning and the other one wore out internally. Lots of plastic parts in those reels. I did combine the 2 and have a working one again but I don't use it out on Oneida eyes anymore, only on crappie and gills. I see some companies put out some higher end all aluminum ones for like $80 or so. I paid $15 a piece for the eagle claws. I found some small Ryobi bait casters that work kind of like in line reels. Haven't really put them to the test yet though.

icefishermanny · « **Reply #221 on:** Jan 27, 2015, 08:40 PM »

for the tourney coming up, May want to head south by the park or something. I was just wondering

spoof · « **Reply #222 on:** Jan 27, 2015, 09:24 PM »

If your careful, you can put one in at the park. Stay away from the creek...

OridginalPikeFreak · « **Reply #223 on:** Jan 27, 2015, 10:08 PM »

looking to get some walleyes, were is a good area to fish? ive fished the north end for tigers but want to spend a day targeting eyes!!

big_guy_13021 · « **Reply #224 on:** Jan 27, 2015, 10:34 PM »

i would put in at park...but i dont think i would ride threw the narrows....

merkleyb · « **Reply #225 on:** Jan 28, 2015, 12:02 AM »

Has anyone ever gotten any BS from a guy who lives near the park telling you that you can't launch machines from there?
He told me and my buddy that it's illegal to drive wheeled vehicles on the county property. I don't understand how he could think that anyone is tearing up the lawn that is frozen solid and under a bunch of snow. He also sees what we're up to... it's only a crow flight in and out of the park to the ice.

deadbaitjeff · « **Reply #226 on:** Jan 28, 2015, 05:22 AM »

there is a sign at the park that say's no motorized vehicles ,and I have parked next to it unloaded my 4 wheeler had the dec come out said he followed my tracks asked if I saw the sign,I said yes and he said that he could tell that we were just fishing and not screwing around and did not give me a ticket

Oneida

Look back a few pages because we were talking about Otisco eyes. Very few and far between through the ice.

Yep if your fishing the main lake launch at the park if your going to fish by the dam WALK.
The ice was allot thicker last year and the narrows nearly ate my wheeler you will probably see sleds zipping through there though.
To give a point of referance this path in the snow is my 60" plow.

Yep! I did see wheeler tracks going out through there last weekend but that was a small 200 Honda that weighs half as much as my Polaris 500.

Probably the same guy that my friend had arrested for hunter harassment a few years back. He was saying how you couldn't duck hunt here next to the park blah blah blah. Then came out and started shooting a rifle in the air over my friends boat. He left in cuffs shortly after.

iceperch · « **Reply #234 on:** Jan 28, 2015, 06:18 PM »

heading down there weekend, looking to find some perch. can anyone give me some suggestions where to find them? i usually fish near the dam for gills, thought i would try for some perch this weekend.

icefishermanny · « **Reply #235 on:** Jan 28, 2015, 06:24 PM »

thanks for the heads up on the wheeler. I did not see the sign about no motor vehicles in the park though. Saw some tracks out there from a wheeler coming from the park though. Rough drag to the resturant today though and caught two small tigers. ice was solid just not an easy drag. saw two sleds out on the ice.

I learned the hard way once. The DEC gave me a ticket for riding w/o a helmut and riding on a public highway. The only place you are legally allowed to ride in NY is on your own land or other property with written permission. In Oswego County you can legally ride on roads and the extensive trail system if your a member of a club though. I had to go to court. $:-\$

icefishermanny · « **Reply #238 on:** Jan 28, 2015, 07:13 PM »

So then i should buy a sled then to get the shanty out i guess? I dont know

spoof · « **Reply #239 on:** Jan 28, 2015, 08:56 PM »

I still ride on the lake and take my chances. The local police seem to be lenient as long as your not "joy ridin'. Same with Whitney PT.
