  1. Do they somehow mark the walleyes when they stock Otisco? If they were just trying to get an idea of the fish population by only electro shocking and no mark/recapture it seems ineffective. I know the purpose of the electro shocking on Oneida is part of a mark/recapture. That is why they clip a fin on the walleyes in the hatchery when they are stripped. Then when they shock they can get a better idea of the walleye population based on how many clipped fins they find.
  2. I have a Browning Recon Force and a Dark Ops. They both take amazing video. I actually use one just to monitor for trespassing. I am also playing with the Moultrie Mobile and a Spypoint Cellular cam. They both work okay but the quality is not even close to Browning. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

  4. Per the NY fishing guide I believe culling walleye is actually illegal. There is a note stating that it is okay for bass. Page 50 under Taking and Possession. Any fish caught once you have your limit has to be returned. Of course you could still cull with 2 fish in the box? http://www.dec.ny.gov/docs/fish_marine_pdf/fishguide.pdf I have only fished the river 4 or 5 times and I have only seen a handful of boats in all of my trips. I fish Oneida regularly and the pressure there is substantial. I assume there is heavy pressure in certain areas of the river? A slot limit definitely can't hurt. Just remember that the older females will be less fertile so there is a sweet spot of the best breeders. For example it might be best to actually release the 20" - 26" fish. So you would have a protected slot of 20"-26", keeping 2 or 3 fish from 18"-20" and only 1 fish over 26". Here is an example of that in the Midwest. http://www.lakevermilionresorts.com/fishing/walleye Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  5. Looks more tasty than salmon anyway! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  6. Wow. That looks awful. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  7. After some searching online, I think they are anchor worms. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  8. Not good! Did you send it to Cape Vincent Fisheries research?
  9. Not sure what anchor worms are but they were just like leeches too. Maybe that was it. Those fish were caught a half mile apart. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

  11. Tough to see in this pic both tails have them. The bottom fish has one right where the tail meets the body. They are those gray lines on the top fish tail. I wish I saved one of them. They looked like little worms but they were attached by the mouth and looked just like mini lampreys. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  12. Is it common to have Lamprey eels on the tails of the SLR eyes? Caught a couple eyes today with lampreys on their tails. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  13. Hopefully he got what he deserved!!! Thanks for the reports. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  14. 156 views and no replies? I am guessing that the water is fairly warm in the Bay judging from reports further West? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  15. Congrats! That is a great walleye! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
  16. 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
  17. 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.
  18. Good first hand info Getthenet2, thanks for sharing.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.

  24. 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
