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

You can catch them jigging all summer but a lot of guys switch over to trolling in July and August. I think it is a little easier to catch them trolling in the summer because a lot of them are suspended. You can always jig in and along the weeds and catch them mid summer. Personally trolling is a last resort. I would rather catch them jigging or casting sticks any day. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Right now the fish seem very scattered so having a good finder does not matter much. I seriously caught eyes from 4' - 44' of water on Saturday. There is no magic depth to target them at and they are not really schooled up on structure either. I would check a map for the shoals and islands near Constantia. There are a few islands to watch out for there, plus Dakin shoal and Willard island a little to the East. I like to jig bucktails but I know a lot of guys are doing very well drifting worm harnesses right now. If you drag worm harnesses and jig in 15' - 25' right now your are probably going to come across some walleyes.

Those are some chunky walleyes. Well Done!

Walleyes do group by size for the most part. Being on 18" - 20" eyes is normally good problem on Oneida. To place in these tourneys it seems like you need to put together a bag of fish in the 20s though. There is always a mix of trollers and jiggers at the top so I am not sure that changing tactics is the way to go.

This is a great pic!

That is awesome. I bet it's a lot more fun catching them like that! Nice job. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
