[Mr. Crappie]

Hey guys and gals, just trying to get a Little info. Been trying to get the perch and eyes with little success. Well i have been on the perch for a couple weeks. Then they moved.  so for the past week Ive been trying to find them, mind you still havent found the eyes. I'm more of a guy who likes to find spots on my own. But getting desperate. Looking for help. Pm if you want. Any info appreciated. Heading out tommorrow!!

[arcticicejigger]

fished outta edgewater to jewel drilled hole after hole after hole! 2 jumbo perch and 5 small eyes! dec stoped in and said noone they saw was doing anything at all today! fished 24 to 35 fow! whole lotta nothing going on there!

[kowboyup]

Im with you on today artic. Fished hard today from daylight till almost dark and needless to say if iwas an oil driller and made my money drilling productive holes, id be broke, lol Me and the girlfriend had agood day though. We also had the dec come to my shanty and belive it or not I go to a country concert for aweek in July and we have met many times there. Small world, we bulled for awhile and he said same slow with everyone. Did see a few wheelers out and they seemed to go ok, saw one with trqcks on it qnd he was having no problem.

To all walkers out there (like me), with the recent deeper snow, one thing I've done over the past several years to make the trek easier is to use snow shoes.  I take them off when I get to my fishing spots, as they can be a little awkward, but it makes the walk a lot easier.   I get some odd looks at times, but i can move a heck of a lot faster with my shoes.

just needed one of those hot tubs the last couple weeks of these friged temps ,oh well ill take one right now loaded with ugh you know !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RodandBobber]

Ok guys, this is the year that I finally get out on Oneida. Been putting it off for a long time. Haven't much cared to as my uncle drowned out there when I was a kid and it's just always been in the back of my mind. Not looking for hot spots and wouldn't even think of asking. Just a little help as to where to access and what jigs tend to work best. I'm a walker so keep that in mind. Can't go until the 17th so if any of you guys care to make a day of it I'll bring lunch. PM me if interested.

went to oneida for my first time last thursday. got my very 1st walleye at 18.5 inches. got 4 keeper perch and lost 2 big smallies. fished out of verona beach. it was an awesome trip finally getting to fish this famed lake.

[ICE-ADDICT]

I went out tonight with my four wheeler..NO chains on it at all, went right through the snow with ease....

Music to my ears, thank you murph!

well that is good to hear.

[owascolake10]

So for the weekend should i just leave the 4 wheeler home and suck it up and walk, Looking for honest answers from the locals ty, long drive from newfane, Hate to waste gas towing if i don't have to

i dont wear a helmet and tow with ropes and have never had a problem .

[reeleyz]

I have seen troopers/sheriffs on the lake in the past and they will ticket for no helmet.

Personally I would rather wear a helmet mainly because I don't like wind and snow pelting me in the face.

The solid tow bar thing seems a little excessive. I have never seen an ECO/trooper ticket for that.

[Spikehorn11]

Remember to have your head lights on after sunset to guys. Last year they gave tickets out as guys came off the ice.

I'm pretty sure you need headlights on all the time on all machines.....ticketing by econs seem to be based on their mood and or your previous record ...imho

[werline]

Is there a helmet law on the lake if you are on a wheeler?

Also, I heard that they were giving out tickets if you didn't have rigid tow bars between huts if towing more than one. true?

I called thee DEC in Syr last Friday. HAD QUESTIONS, bringing up a side by side. Cant register them. Do I need helmet? Answers are that once you ride on the STATE owned lake you need helmet, insurance & for a side by side a farmers triangle on the back end. When we got off ice at Taft Bay they (the DEC) were there and all was cool. Even got a few 19" eyes and perch. Can't wait to get back up there. From fishing every weekend to once or twice a year. Miss the big  O !

Snagger, 
In box is full so I'm posting here.   Just saw this in Utica Craigslist.  Maybe they would trade for some fishing. 

 lennox furnace - $400 (mohawk)

for trade or sale is a lennox oil fired furnace. near new, used in seasonal camp! works great! would trade for polaris sleds, hunting related items? pro chainsaws[sthil,huskydolmar] or other trades you never know

[LP Steve]

Hey guys !! Headed to Oneida for the first time this Sunday, can't wait!! Any chance I can get some GPS coordinates to where the fish are biting? What color jigging rap? A flasher to barrow if your not going to use it. Can someone meet me at tafts with a machine to bring me and my stuff to the spot, with lunch, a hut, a Buddy heater with a few propane bottles? Thanks guys.

[315stickbow]

PM sent LP Steve with coords just in case I'm late getting there

[nightfisher]

 on the solid towbar thing, a piece of pvc pipe about3-4 feet long works for a cheap fix, just thread your tow rope thru it and tie it on.
