same story for me today......tight lipped....got 2 nice eyes early and 3 jumbos then they just went dormant......they would chase the bait up and just look at it.....pretty frustrating.....could draw em up 15' off bottom and still wouldn't go....marked a lot of fish between 8:00 and 10:00....ice is awesome but slippery as heck under the snow.....I agree with snagger, if I'm marking fish that come off bottom to look then I wait em out....usually they turn on sometime, but not always....like today

....didn't practice what I preach today though , I moved a bunch of times with no better luck....should have stayed put....oh well thats fishing.....that cold front shut em down pretty good....looking forward to next weekend

Another fun day Pooch. No matter what, it's always better than the best day at work. As a side note. I officially will never throw a good size Burbot back. I cleaned them like on the U-Tube vid, cubed them and then rolled them in seasoned flour and dropped into hot oil. Absolutely outstanding. Next time I'm gonna try cooking them just like in the vid. They went perfectly with the poor mans shrimp appetizer.

Went out this morning over by Jewel and caught nothing until 10:30. A school of Walleye moved in for about 45 minutes and caught a good 14 of them and had my 3 keepers in that short period. 2 females and 1 male. Male was 20 inches females were 151/2 and 17 full of eggs. When they are on, they are on!!!

fishhooksul · « **Reply #3011 on:** Jan 20, 2014, 05:28 PM »

got out this afternoon with the grandkids. we decided to go for perch out by the islands. fished 20 fow, and the fish were 2' thick on the bottom, and they wouldn't commit

you could get them up 10' off the bottom, and they still wouldn't commit. ended up with 3 jumbos. Sully...

scout57 · « **Reply #3012 on:** Jan 20, 2014, 05:31 PM »

also wanted to comment on the guys who set up right next to me out in the middle of the lake

....like 20 yds....one guy had a very young little girl with him....the other two guys acted like they were in a bar with the horrible language......a little disturbing....was surprised the dad didn't say something

Racer268 · « **Reply #3013 on:** Jan 20, 2014, 05:33 PM »

Thanks guy's. It was my day today. I love the slender spoons. They sometimes save the day when nothing else works.

AugustWest · « **Reply #3014 on:** Jan 20, 2014, 05:46 PM »

Spent yesterday and today off the drop between Godfrey and Jewel...all I can say is "tough Bite"

Only fished the last 4 hours yesterday and got our fish the last 30 minutes, with a few Jumbos as well. Today we had the chase and sniff game going on...a lot of the fish would just come up and bump the minnow head on the bottom treble of the Rap, so frustrating. Got a ton of Pinners and a decent amount of Shorts, all our legal fish were caught at random times throughout the day. Just not in the mood...these are the days you learn a lot about yourself as a fisherman...
Congrats to all that had success

I also had some burbot last night. I was frying some perch, so I breaded and fried some up. Also boiled some of the chunked shoulder meat like in the video and served with melted butter. It was very, very good. Not one bit of a "fishy" taste. White, flakey, sweet meat. It would be a treat to have some done right out on the ice like the guy in the video does. I think it only took him 10 or 15 minutes to get it skinned and prepared.

Finally got out on Oneida Lake! I had one of those days... I highly recommend wearing cleats, fell once and wrenched my knee twice. I bought 3 dozen buckeyes(MM) at 6: 05am, all but a couple were floating belly up by 6:30am. I also managed to break the Transducer Support Arm on my LX-5. All I had to show for it was one short Walleye, about 12". I did mark a lot of fish, many were suspended 8-15 off the bottom. I had a lot of followers, only two biters. One came charging right off the bottom and slammed my Rap! Now I can hook my shanty, my snow suit, my fingers, just about any of the equipment I haul out on the ice but I missed that fish! All in all it wasn't that bad, I figure I got all the dumb$ out of the way all in one day!

I fell a couple times myself with cleats on , going to have to start wearing a helmet. Great job on the crappies HuntNY

I been screaming from the get go that most people just don't know how fortunate we are to have Burbot here and disgrace them by leaving them on the ice, glad you took the time to try them bud

I don't usually fish weekends but I took my buddy out behind the islands on Sunday. I thought the Sunday crowd was cool, a lot of kids and wives out. Then two sleds of guys showed up, F this F that, every other word. It was a pretty tight group of shanties, I was the furthest away and I could hear them easily. If you are that group of guys and obviously fishing is not your top priority, why do you set up in the middle of 20 people.

Awesome spot I was on! NEVER fished there before! Had it all to ourselves for a whole morning, then by that afternoon and the next morning, it was BLOWN UP! That's the way it works out there I guess.......That's why I like a little precip going on, just enough to cut visibility down to about a quarter mile!......Not sure if the fish vacated or not, but I WILL find out this Friday! That was the second multi species spot I found that weekend that had exactly what I was looking for in it...... My perfect day out there is 3 18-20 inch eyes, and 8-12 JUMBOS!

yes that's my perfect day a limit of 16-18" eyes and 12 big arz perch , now I'm digging this mid bite when you have to start working for them , the easy bite is about over , now it boils down to consistency, my favorite time , ya really have to think about your moves, depths , lure patterns , and presentation , god I love a tough bite , it can humble you or make you feel you really did think like a fish

Chowdaire no that wasn't me , I did pickup 3 guys and the gear on the way in to the parking lot. NF sorry you were not here but atleast you were fishing hope to see you soon either on the hard water or river. Brian congrats to you and your dad, I sent you a text message but for some reason I seem to remember you don't have service or something like that. Huntny30 nice set of Crappies there, I have aspot for some too but they are still small so will wait till next year to get on them. Stormy colleen wants to know where have you been, wants to know if the run down the river afew yrs ago with here first salmon you helped her get scared you, lol Shane I too want to thank you for everything, it was fun on Saturday to try to make it to that spo we had gone tot, and to not be able to so I found my own just looking at the map, then went back on sunday and did well again, so it is nice to find your own spot to fish once and awhile but sure couldn't do it without my friends.

If you guys are searching for eyes without electronics, how long will you work a hole before moving on to the next one?

I just want to preface these next statements by saying that I always respect other's space when out on the ice. When you guys refer to someone else's hot spot, is it a spot that they've personally shown you or is it a spot that you've seen people fish from time to time?

I'm new to Oneida so I've been using a map app to locate potential spots to try out. Sometimes they're occupied, sometimes they're not. If they're occupied, I either give them enough space, or move to a new spot. The next time I'm out and it's free, I try it out.

You guys don't mean to say that if occupied every once in a while its off limits completely throughout the season are you?

The whole lake is public, wasn't being arrogant saying its "My" spot at all, fish wherever you like....but theres a bunch of us that fish together, its like a on going contest between us too "Be" the "One" who finds the bite or spot, I hate it when my buds find a better group of fish then me, I'm so stubbern I won't fish there spots even if there blistering them, I'll just keep poking til I out do them by finding another group of fish even easier too catch..

20 to 30 minutes working the jig a variety of ways. I'll have two poles with either the same jig in different sizes or the same jig in different colors. I start at the bottom of the column and work my way up slowly. If nothing hits I move to my next point. I plan my routes the night before on navionics.

Thought I would share this recipe. Just cooked it for my inlaws and they said it was the best fish they ever had. Despite my mother in law getting the warty walleye. 1 cup flower 1/4 cup baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup milk 1/2 cup water. Stir it all up, dip the fish, put in oil. My 4 year old had her plate clean by the time I sat down. She thought it was chicken nuggets, but gone in two minutes none the less.
