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

anyone using this ramp ,easy in and out , read somewhere it has 100 spots for trailers , seems like alot

I know braid and flouro are the most popular right now but if you want a good mono try the spiderwire ultracast ultimate mono in clear , there 10 lb test is .011 dia . and no leaders to mess with and a 330 yd spool is 8.95 Spiderwire® Ultracast™ Ultimate Mono Fishing Line is the ultimate strength-to-diameter, co-polymer mono, with low stretch for ultimate sensitivity. Ideal for baitcast reels, Ultracast Ultimate Mono has a "web-thin" diameter for higher line capacity. Ultimate strength-to-diameter co-polymer monofilament Low stretch Highly sensitive Ideal for baitcast reels

Anybody using this ramp thinking about using it this weekend , is there alot of parking , how crazy busy does it get big line waiting to put in !! and what motels are close by , thanks

The jack and coke probably helped alot but I think the biggest thing you can do is to eat it fresh from the lake or a day or so in the fridge , the longer it sits in the freezer the stronger they get and cut out the dark line too .

glad it was good for you the reviews were pretty bad , yeah I'm finding most places want a 3 day min. stay , I think a motel for short trips will be better , I can watch the weather late in the week and decide at the last minute if its worth the run up , was thinking a dock setup would be nice but maybe I can find a marina to tie up at eventually .

Just wish the stradic wasn't so expensive !!!! Then I would have a bunch of them too .

Anglers bay has some really mixed reviews has it gotten better recently ,

My favorite reel is a shimano stradic 2500 spinning reel and thats what I use for all my laker jigging , I use baitcasters for most bass fishing just never liked them for jigging , problem is I only have one spool for the stradic so changing line back and forth isn't going to work , guess I will stay with my spiderwire ultracast for now and see how it works on the walleye .

Would never have thought the kanzen could have the same diameter as fireline and twice the pound test !! Anyone using the fireline crystal any better than regular fireline

I';m having a hard time breaking away from mono specifically spyder wire ultra cast use to be called triple x mono and they changed the name , its a good all around line with low stretch and the fish don't see so no need for adding leaders . Got started using when I started jigging for lakers we wanted a low stretch line but not the no stretch like you get with braid I like a little give . I know I'm behind the times but its inexpensive and just plain works ! Looking at getting into some walleye fishing with leadcore and riggers .but what can you tell me about a braid for main line to a fluorocarbon leader for jigging and blade baits it won't be huge walleye on Oneida so thinking about a 10 lb Fireline or nanofil to 10 pound fluorocarbon is it worth it .I'm not convinced it will be any better than a roll of ultracast mono in 10 lb test .I realize naofil isn't a braid are there any benefits to it over fireline

Got to thinking there may be someone on the forum that would rent out there cabin or cottage on Oneida for a few days at a time , just the wife and I , you won't even know we were there .

Charleys is a pretty good run to the eastern part of the lake but that would have been perfect with the boat slips and ramp and very reasonable , I will keep it in mind .I'm noticing alot of places are already full for June .

Thanks for the report robbiedo appreciate it . BC FD all the best to you and your wife hope treatment goes well for her .

Thanks Chowdaire I will check it out , anybody know of any other places it would really be nice to have a boat slip too , south east shore would work too . Also its only my wife and I so just looking for a small clean cottage preferably with a boat slip but not a must and something we can rent for two days at a time , thanks

Thanks Chowdaire I will check it out , anybody know of any other places it would really be nice to have a boat slip too , south east shore would work too .

Anybody know of any cabin rentals on Oneida lake preferably east end of the lake , would like to get up sometime this month , 2 people .

I have a 2000 that I bought new and with a little care over the years it still looks new inside and out , just curious what do they sell for new these days

Looks like we are doing a trip to the cape also for stripers , taking are own boat for more possibilities rather than surf fishing , so end of June into july are we going to have a hard time finding rooms at a decent price with the summer tourist season in full swing or are there places to stay that are reasonable . Also what area should we concentrate are fishing on so we know where to look for motels . Appreciate any help at all !!!
