Oneida 8/15


coup

Recommended Posts

Got the Godfrey launch around 3pm and fished till dark. I am new to this lake and this type of fishing so the wife and I stayed right out front of the launch and trolled for most the time. Marked a ton of fish but could only get one walleye to hit a worm harness in 13ft of water. Lots of weeds floating fowling up the inline boards and baits. Very drizzly day but good start to vacation and testing out the new boat also went well.

Thanks guys. We were just flat lining harnesses out 100 to 150ft back. We do not think the harnesses were deep enough when we swung out over 30ft of water. Do you guys usually troll with them right on the bottom using some weight to get them there?

I agree with REDEYES, I would go with cranks/stick baits this time of year. However, I RARELY run them down to bottom this time of year. A lot of fish are suspended as high as 15' down over the deep water 40'+. Watch the sonar and try to get your baits where you are marking the fish.

Fished for 2 hours last night and picked up 4 nice eyes. They were down 20' - 25' then just before dark they went deeper and were near bottom.
