I have been following this topic for a while. I think you guys are actually handling this well. This topic tends to go down the toilet fast on other forums. When you start making regulations that take money out of people's pockets they get angry and defensive. That is understandable. My 2 cents is to reduce the limit to 25 and still allow the sale of perch. It doesn't have to be state wide. They reduced the limit to 25 on Canadarago Lake. Not that it helped the fishing from what I read.

It sounds like you are doing just fine without boards. I started running big boards 4 years ago and I think it makes a difference on those calm sunny days. I run 4 lines on my 16' boat. I could squeak in 2 more but 4 keeps me busy enough. I used to just run 2 flat lines and I do miss the quick turns and always getting the inside track.

Congrats Ryan!

Congrats!

Thanks for the reports. They are always full of good info and pics/videos. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I agree that this is just a blip on the radar. The fishing will come back and so will the people. It is a shame that some of the local businesses suffer though. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Great work guys. Does the bite normally get even better in the fall up there like it does on Oneida? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I grill them occasionally and make salmon patties out of the canned fish most of the time. Catching them is fun but I normally toss them back if I get more than 2 salmon in a day. Walleyes on the other hand, they get a 1 way ticket to the frying pan! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Congrats on your first king! I agree, 2 kings is enough to last me for a year! We smoke them and can them. I am baffled at what these guys do with all of their trout/salmon...

Great job as usual guys. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

It happens to all of us. This is one of the tougher times of the year to catch eyes on Oneida. There is a lot of food out there right now. You definitely need to search around until you find a "good screen" and then set up.

That report got my attention Kevin! Great job! That is some serious walleye action. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Well done again! Do you think the fishing is better in the late evening of the early morning on a full moon? Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Great jobs guys. I love reading your reports. Someday I will venture over there and try to catch some of those river eyes. We have a camp on Millsite so it is a short trip. I am pretty spoiled with these Oneida walleyes though! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

That is awesome! Sure seems like a great day to fish...instead of work.

I troll harnesses on Oneida quite a bit. Early in the year (May/June) I think bottom bouncers work the best. This time of year I would focus higher in the water column and run harnesses off of those offshore tadpoles or snap weights. I troll them from 1.5 - 2.5 MPH, generally slower when running bottom bouncers and faster when running them suspended.

Congrats! That is a great bag of fish to catch any day and especially in conditions like yesterday. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
