Oneida lake ice

[iceman1603]

Ok thanks. Will post results when I return. Hopefully my sweet spot will produce for me in the am..

[iceman1603]

Well Ive been waiting to get into the eyes good all year. This morning put 9 of them on the ice. Problem is they were all under 12" .. Walkin wasnt bad. Startin to get sloppy when we came in but with the wind the way it is and the cold comeing tonight, should be good conditions for walkin in the mornin..

Cali - Did you here someone went in waist deep off of Cleveland?

[iceman1603]

Negative on the break thru Tim. It wouldnt suprise me tho. The 2 old pressure ridges That I have been crossing since they formed were soft and a little unstable as we came back in. There were a lot of people out there today surprisingly enough. Fished in my usual area off the beach near 1 other person at 645 and by 730 we had a village around us!! Most cleared out within an hour or so but we stayed till bout 10 am.. Did the individual get out ok?

[CNY Tim]

I'm sure he made it out ok or Freddy would have said something..

[kirkville1]

[augustwest]

6am Chris...jake is learning one of the stations on the line today. He should be able to cook a meal for your family by this summer By the time he graduates, he should be a well seasoned Cook.

Went off of cleveland this AM,Marked and caught 1 jumbo.And 1 smallie on a tipup.Fished from 6:30-11:00.SLOW SLOW SLOW.I think im stickin to my local waters for a while!

[CNY Tim]

Chris we actually were thinking Oneida last night while making plans. Just for a split second and were dang glad we didn't.

[Thunderman]

Kirk, I had a couple buds of mine that fihed off south shore all the way to cleveland, they only caught 5 slob perch 1 dink and three short eyes .I am glad I didn't go there today .

[CNY Tim]

There's one place I'll go on that lake at late ice for perch and it's close to the east end off the north shore Z and I got into them good one year late ice needed waders to get on but the fishing was pretty decent 30-35 big perch a piece, won't be long. Glad we had that warm up. The sunnies and crappies should be on a tear while the water is murked up, probably for the next couple of days.

Fished The beach again yesterday. Caught 23 perch most were a little under my size requirements so they all went back but there were a couple hogs. Also hit the mother load of small eyes again. Think the final # was 14. Just cant seem to get the big ones. Fun day. 4 degrees when I got there and it warmed up t a blamy 20 when i got back to the truck but the steady wind made it feel like 5.

I know that perch usually school by size or age. Are walleyes the same way?

Fished off of Larkin today. HOLY WIND!!!!! Set up in 26' lookin for eyes and......... Nothin.. Marked fish all mornin but perch were not interested in anything remotely resembling a minnow or fish. Mousies and small stuff would get looks. Pretty much had to talk bad about their moms to get a bite out of em. Got a few between the 2 of us. Walkin was great. Walk back was better. Had the wind to our backs so I let the shanty set sail and picked it up on shore.. Worked out good.

[lesterl]

Walleyeboy, Tell bill I am going fishing off lewis point in the morning, don't have a better idea. Haven't tried north shore in a long time but haven't even seen anyone out there.

[Thunderman]

Went off chapman park today not a bad day ended up with 26 perch that made a 6 gallon bucket a little over half full.There were a couple in there that were 13 to 13.5 didn't keep any under 10 inches it was nice fishing with Tim & Doug all in all a good day at Oneida .

[CNY Tim]

Toodd, Doug and I had a decent day off Chapman, 44 perch between us and a dozen nice smallies. I lost a 1/8 oz. forage minnow on something big probab8ly a burpit...
