ONEIDA LAKE DIEHARDS THREAD 2013/2014

CEJ, thanks for all those numbers, put some of them into my phone for reference.  I sure hope ECO Head does't use the nickname Dick.

   I heard the story from my friend about this officer. I didn't believe it, but know I have proof! I kinda feel bad for the guy...

Horrible bite today.  Don't even want to talk about numbers.  Maybe my worst day in 2 years.  The little bit of snow made It so I could use the sled.  Even got the solid shanty out. 

[rlejr]

Was at chapman  today, this am, crack was passable with a wheeler but walkers had to go to the other side of the pier. On the way in at 3, wheeler had to go where the walkers came out.  Went to 40fow and got a bunch of nice perch and 2keeper walleyes.

[ChiefCatchemall]

Was out today. Landed 18 eyes. Had a nice blitz of fish for about 20 mins this evening. Good time. No jumbos and only 1 white...

There enough snow to keep cool.  Studs are a bonus.  Saturday might be all water so that will be OK also.

Is the pressure crack at apps pasable on foot boggey. Headed out at day break.

Thanks!!!! It's going on the trailer then, how's the snow on shore getting on and off the ice?

[ny_angler]

Guess i am heading up in the morning on my own, from reading all 110 pages of the thread i see where chapman was a good walking point now i read theres a pressure ridge .So  i am heading to apps to get  bait in the morning  and theres a pressure ridge there also any suggestions on a safe acess point a guy can walk from and still get to the deeper water  to catch perch and eyes ?

chapman should be fine....just use caution.....there will be many guys there....follow the regulars

[billybob851]

I was at chapman today there is a crack there but you will be fine like scout said follow everyone out, there was a lot of people there today and im sure there will be a bunch tomorrow. There was 10 inches of ice

[Chowdaire]

For the guys asking about walking out of Apps. I did it yesterday. Pressure crack is at around 25' and moves closer to shore as you go East toward Godfrey. I spudded across it in 4 spots. All were solid with the ice shoved up and refrozen.

I'd still be careful, as always, but it was definitely passable.

I fished both sides of the pressure crack out of apps today it was solid and fine to cross on foot
Like jboggey said there was no bite to speak of I fished from 24'. Out to 42' only marked a few fish and they were buried in the mud

looks like it goes from Godfrey all the way to Willard

can you park at taft bay park with a trailer? is there any major pressure cracks in this area? thank you

[SNAGGER]

  Hit the ice Today, and as expected with a big barometer it was a slow pick all day, with a pretty good dead spell around noonish, ended up icing 15 eyes, 12 that were keeper size and 9 nice perch for the frying pan, all fish were caught jigging raps in 25-27 fow, ice measured anywhere from 10 to 11.5 inches, with a light coating of snow, easy dragging ....I did a lot of walkin... haven't read any reports yet on here ....fighting my furnace...  wow what a blizzard all the way down this morning ....6 inches on the roads... unplowed,.....

Taft is large enough for a trailer yes. Haven't been out that access point yet this year to report in ice conditions.
