Congrats! That is a great walleye! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I have only seen it when the fish had a bad eye. Seen that a couple of times. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

X3 - I use Wind Alert for deer hunting as well.

It is called Charley's boat livery. I think you can camp there too and he has a bait shop and boat launch. It is actually the North West part of the lake in Johnson's Bay.

Good first hand info Getthenet2, thanks for sharing.

Walleyes in Oneida LOVE to eat perch. It is like the Oneida eyes are set in their ways. Older eyes will not eat gobies but I bet the smaller eyes (under 15") are eating them. They would rather starve than eat gobies! It is strange. Or maybe gobies are the very last resort over baby perch, baby walleye, shad, buckeyes, and mayfly larva? It seems like the eyes have to learn to eat gobies from birth or when they are old enough to eat them. My guess is that in a year or two we will see them really start to hit the gobies.

That is when they actually start eating the gobies... The perch are gorging themselves on gobies but the walleye are not feeding on them much yet. The gobies will be great for protecting the young of the year perch and walleye too. I expect the perch and walleye size and population to increase over the next several years.

I actually had them get on the boat a couple years ago in the Oswego Harbor. They even ran the Hull ID. Vests Flares Throwable - they wanted to see it easily accessible Paddle Horn Anchor - they never asked for that but I think it's on the list. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Looks like a good trip. 40 minutes? They must have been thorough! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Great eye Esox! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I have watched some videos on it in the Midwest. It works very well. Sort of similar to the Seth Green rig. However I think a rod/reel makes it easier to deal with the fast depth changes. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

It definitely takes time. With the guidance that Kevin has shared here over the years it shortened my learning curve immensely. There is a lot of info on this site. Look through some old posts. It's all there... [emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
