The fishing in Oneida lake last winter was fantastic, you could catch 3 walleyes and be home by noon. This year no one is catching hardly any I think I got 4 for the whole ice season. Are the walleyes bunched up where no one can find them or are they just not hungry? any ideas that might work. The lake is only about 40 feet deep but we used to catch them from 20 to 28 feet deep.

Buy a depthfinder and drill holes until you mark fish. Catch a fish you marked and if wrong species your looking for, keep drilling till you find what you want.

By the way, being from Minnesota I have no idea how big of lake that is.

Lester - A few differences from this year to last - Overall walleye numbers are down for the catchable year classes of walleyes and the lake seem to be loaded with food. Baitfish - shad, buckeyes, small fish, plus small stuff like shrimp, blood worms, ect...

Every lake goes through cycles.

Perch numbers are up and as they say "head west"...

I agree with Dark Cloud last fall was the worst year for walleye fishing in 20 yrs I kinda figured this winter was going to be the same.The shad population has grown dramaticly in the lake alot of them use to die off in the late fall for some reason they are surviving which makes it harder to catch fish.The fish in the lake that are adults are very nice in size a little large for my likeing for eating.Lester I would try useing a glow jigging rap, white sonar something that resembles gizzard shad from now till the 15th of march. I would be fishing the beach area any where from 15fow to what ever alot of people over look the shallows thats where I have had my best luck for eyes late ice.Maybe we can meet up before the 15th and give it a shot wink.

Well my job prospects are few and far between, so It looks like I wont be back to work any time soon. It sucks in a way but in another good light we have managed to be able to live on her check and my unemployment, so im lookin at some more ice time before it goes away.. I have put more time in on the ice this year than I ever have and im thinkin I like it!!

I thought you were an Erieville Man Callie...what gives?

Are you cashing in on your favorite PUDDLE and Hittin' the Big "O" because you are bored or need the exercise whistle

Like Thunder stated...the Beach is Gettin' Hot cool

Oh...BTW, DC...I have never even seen a Perch on the end of your line, in your bucket or on the Ice in front of you. Tank has taught you well Jedi...but I heard you DON'T know how to find fish laugh

I know I know, I jumped on the big O band wagon. But when The almighty AW my fish findin freak give up on the smaller waters to the south, there is no need to fish them. Yes I have become a fan of Oneida a little. Yes I need the excercise. Have you seen my gut??? If you factor in the cost for me to drive the 3/4 ton Sierra to erieville then look at the cost to drive to Oneida, On umnemployment. Oneida is the place to be. gringrin. So momma has been home fro FLorida for a day and a half and I need a break!! Is that bad??? Someone tell me where and when we are fishin!!!!!

      As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…

      I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...

      Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?

      I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.

      You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.

      Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.

      The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.

      It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.

      We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
