Cayuga Advice sought on trailer bunks
chugbug replied to Mr Bluegill's topic in Finger Lakes Discussion
Any idea if they use PT from the factory , the wood bunks on my Shorelander trailer are going strong after 18 years but the wood side boards used to help guide the boat on the trailer are getting soft -
JK you should try launching out of taughkannock south end of cayuga in the fall its only a mile at the most north or south around the point to get out of the wind , seems like we do good on bonus browns and bows that time of year , you have to make sure there not in spawn mode though because they really shut down and its earlier than Keuka . Good luck !!!!

Back to Jigging
chugbug replied to Pete Collin's topic in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)
Thats interesting sounds like they aren't responding the same as the lakers in the finger lakes wonder why they would be any different . It really gets me when they chase a jig from 80 to 20 and then decide not to hit it make a turn and head back down to the bottom alot of spent energy for no meal didnt even take a crack at it !!! -

I brought the fish cleaning problem up a while back as cleaning them on the boat can get you in trouble if there is a minimum length on the species your keeping . I'm cleaning them when I get off the water on ice while out fishing , I have cleaned them over my live well to catch any stuff that falls off or on a piece of plywood on the tailgate , putting fillets in a baggie and then in motel room freezer or on in a ice chest , carcass goes in a kitchen trash bag tied tight and in the dumpster at the motel , its not easy to be legal when they dont have cleaning stations anywhere on the finger lakes or oneida but I think I'm pretty good with this set up .

Dont forget you have the south shore boat ramp , check direction of the wind in the morning go to the ramp you will be fishing near that way if the wind comes up you don't have to try and cross the lake to get back , we used godfrey one day and it made it nice as we weren't far from it and when we were ready to leave it wasn't far away but its a one lane ramp only and could be really busy on a weekend trying to get out .

And its one of few parks that you can camp at on the water with a boat ramp !!

Just seems odd that there not in oneida too its connected to the canal system

Does anyone know if Oneida has spiny water flea

Yeah I didnt see many trollers either , from what I saw it was all drifters . I was trolling mainly for eyes leadcore and downriggers didn't expect any bass that would have been a nice bonus .I noticed to the bite seems to stop pretty early !!!
-
I noticed alot of drifters seemed like the go to method up there , using bow mounted trolling motor for steering , Anyone know what there using for weight to get nite crawler rigs down ,do they use bait walkers or just simple three way swivels .Also surprised at the size of the waves for very little wind , the one day current wind was posted at 6 mpg but we had 2 to 3 footers out there out of the east .10mph one day seemed like a blow out not sure if it was fishable unless you could get out of the wind behind a island or point that was around noon .

Well finally made up to Oneida lake it had been 25- 30 years since I was there last so it was all new to me , its hard finding places to stay online before you get there and see whats going on but i got alot of tips on here which helped alot .I 'll try and point out some things that I think will help others going up for the first time . One tip I learned on here was to not use the left side of the ramp at south shore boat ramp and this was a big help as I saw guys using it and they struggled to load there boat big time but another word to the wise is to stay right of the island on the way out there are no buoys at all and it goes right to 1 foot deep in know time on the left side so go right of the island as its not marked .Godfrey point ramp north shore is only one lane and could be a nightmare on a busy day it would be crazy with only half a dozen boats trying to get in or out at the same time . Motels in Canastota all you have now is the Days inn , the other one Graziano's is closed but the days inn is fine and reasonable but your 4 miles from the lake south shore .We set up riggers and leadcore for walleye and did fairly well would had are limit if I hadn't lost 3 or 4 at the boat , next time I would like to try casting blade baits and jigs and see how it works and finding some sm bass .
-
Yeah bears at myers should be able to help you out , they have ice also which comes in handy but you can probably get that in Aurora too , there is a dock at the aurora inn that you can use to take a break and there is a walk way up to the street to the store right beside the inn has really good eats coffee sweets good stuff , cant leave your boat over night or anything but a nice place to get food .

Its great you have had some good action to keep them interested sometimes when things get slow they can loose there interest fast , thats why I always took the kids blue gill fishing at a farm pond on the first day of pa trout fishing , kids didn't have a chance on are local trout streams back when they were small now there is a day just for them !! Great report !!!

Oneida Lake Oneida South Shore Boat ramp
chugbug replied to chugbug's topic in Finger Lakes Discussion
thanks for the tips , not sure where to launch , either the south shore ramp or somewhere in south bay but i think most of south bay are marinas and probably charge 10.00 or more
