Has anyone fished Lake Anna that could give some idea of the striper fishing , where to start , what to use , never been there but would like to give it a shot .

Thanks Justin , is October the best time for a good fall bite on oneida

I heard the eyes spread out and there not catching as many , the guys were putting out a video weekly but all of a sudden it stopped over a month ago

anyone

Anybody know what happen to the oneida lake fishing report , last entry was July 10th http://www.oneidalakefishingreport.com/

Is the algae bloom gone , thought they were suggesting no swimming on Cayuga !!!

I'm thinking there using PT at the factory or we wouldnt be getting 18 and 20 years out of them ,

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

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 .

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
