I fished it yesterday for a couple of hours.  Made one pass along the  entire north side of shackleton shoals in 32 to 40 fow.  We run riggers on the bottom with #7 and #9 perch rapalas (the newer one) and do well with Reef Runners on braided line on inline boards with snap weights.  75 back, 2 oz weight, then 75 feet to the board or 100 feet back, 3 oz weight, 50 feet to board will get you down around 30 feet at 2.2 to 2.4 mph.  Get a couple Bare naked Reef runners.  tough to beat on the boards.  Saw plenty of guys drifting warm harnesses with bottom bouncers.  That usually works too.  We ended up with a dozen or so walleyes with 5 keepers up to 20 inches.   Nothing over 38 feet of water.

 

Probably plenty being caught in the weeds too, but I just stick with the deeper trolling.

Ned rigs and other jigs are producing well on shoals if you aren't a troller.  My boys caught a dozen plus fishing a bass tournament 8-9 days ago.  Pm me and I'll give you a good spot to try.  Honestly, Oneida is a great numbers lake no matter what your technique.
