Oneida lake is connected to LO through the Oneida and Oswego river system. Hope this is a local die off and not some new environmental problem https://www.newyorkupstate.com/outdoors/2023/06/what-killed-thousands-of-this-oneida-lake-fish-last-week.html?outputType=amp

There is rather more than a 2’ difference between the amount of DR cable out and actual depth of your weight blowback ( and the actual depth of your lures) is depending on speed , currents , and the weight of your weight (pun intended) my probe shows actual depth of my presentation. There are times I’ve had to let out 150 ‘of cable to reach 100 ft down Watch the angle of your cable the more the angle , the more cable you have to let out to reach the desired depth. Don’t rely on your sonar to tell you how deep you’re fishing it can only tell you how far your weight is from the ducer , not how deep it is

This topic has been addressed many times on this forum. There are charts that can show the approximate depth of your weight using math , amount of cable out and the angle of blowback using your sonar ( distance finder ) to track your weights does NOT show you the true depth of your weight , only the distance of the weight from the transducer if you have 100 ft of cable out and you have 20° of blowback , your weight (and lure ) are actually running at about 80 ft Your sonar may show that you are fishing at 100 ft , but it’s actually showing the distance from the ducer , not the true depth takes a while to get your head around this but it’s true. All geometry

You are entering the June doldrums Fishing is sloooow Target browns where 60 ° water intersects the bottom Lakers in 150 fow near bottom. Kings ??? Your guess is as good as anyone else’s. Best bet for chinooks, offshore near the shipping channel fish the bait pods. Good luck

You are correct about the king action starting in mid July on the east end of the lake I’ve been fishing LO since the late 70’s and it’s the same year after year. The major influx of water into the lake is the Niagara River The bait and the majority of pelagic fish tend to gather here it is what it is. If you want king and coho action before July you will have to go west

June is notoriously slow on the east end of the lake. The doldrums. LT will usually cooperate out in 150 fow Browns will be where 60 ° waters is near the bottom Salmon out in the shipping lanes keep an eye on the weather if you go out there long haul

That’s a long way from Mexico , but give them a call and ask. +1 (315) 589-2752

I’ve looked for years to no avail. There are a few companies, but their bulk is in tons 😝

Oneida lake is a hard water fishery by this time An ice boat would be appropriate

There is a wealth of information in the thread “ wind turbines on Lake Ontario “ at the top of this forum. As to the size of the blades and towers fitting through the locks , that was not an issue. The public boat launch at Henderson harbor was to be the staging area for construction. The harbor dredged to allow work boats to access the launch. The entire launch would be put off limits to recreational use during construction. Just one of the many reasons to fight this misuse of the green energy initiative

This has been an issue for more than 14 years NYSERDA was directed by the then gov Cuomo , to do a feasibility study. There have been many attempts to place wind turbines offshore and on Galloo Island , the latest that I’m aware of was from Iberdrola , a Spanish power company. The Towns of Henderson and Sackets harbor retained legal counsel to thwart them and they eventually pulled the plug TheGov stated “ the state , not the towns , would determine where wind turbines would be placed “ taking the townships out of the equation. I’m glad NYSERDA did a complete study and didn’t gloss over the downside. We need to keep a close eye on the NY politicos. There is big money involved and great opportunities for corruption

Ok karen

Thanks for your worthless comment

I say again. I bought a battery load tester. It places a load on a battery ( in vehicle or out ) to test for weak cells. The multimeter voltage can only tell the state of charge It can determine if a battery is capable of holding a charge while at rest. If it can’t maintain a full charge it would be useful as an anchor
