Call 315-436-9825 now to book a trip you won’t soon forget.
As I sit here watching it rain and listening to the wind blow, all I can think about is walleye season will be here soon. With only a few short weeks before the season opens, now is the time to get your trip booked as prime dates are filling fast.
The mild winter made working in the garage more enjoyable. I have spent time preping lures, relining reels, purchasing and organizing tackle, and making improvements to the boat.
2024 is going to be a great season. With an ice season that was short and tough, to say the least, there were many walleye that were not caught this winter. They are still out there just waiting to be caught during the open water season.
I offer trips jigging and trolling for any level of experience. If there is a technique you want to learn more about or you just want to put some fishing in the freezer I am here to help. Call now and book your 2024 walleye trip before the dates full up.
This morning when we left the dock it was 28 degrees. Funny how you don’t notice how cold it is when the fish are biting. And biting they were. Not a crazy bite but good enough to boat 6 eyes and a dozen and a half perch. Most fish were caught on jigging raps in various colors. Unfortunately my client was a little camera shy today, so no picture of him just the fish.
There is still time to get out before the snow flies. Call me to book trip today.
Today’s trip found Allen, Julia and Kevin in the boat. Julia and Kevin were on leave from the Air force and are Allens daughter and son in-law. After returning to yesterday’s area it was clear the fish are on the move. After a little bit of searching though we found them.
We started out trolling then changed over to jigging then back to trolling when the lake went flat.
Jigging was was the best technique as most of the fish were caught on jigging raps and blades. A nice bunch of perch and walleyes.
Give me a call if you want to get a trip in before the snow gets here.
Today the Murphy boys were back in town for one last trip on Oneida. Tom and his son Tom, aka smurf, fish with me a few times a year, and as always today was another fun adventure with them.
I really thought today was going to be a jigging day. However when we reached our spot where the fish had been the last couple of weeks, were gone. So off we went searching.
At the end of the day we put together a nice mixed bag of perch and walleyes.
Thanks again guys and I’m looking forward to fishing with you again next year.
The fall bite is on. This is my favorite time of year to fish Oneida Lake. The walleye start to feed heavy in preparation for winter.
This year is no different. The trolling bite has been great pulling cranks. Don’t like trolling? We can get them jigging as well.
I will be running trips until the snow flies. This time of year the weather can be anywhere from 75 degrees to 35 degrees so remember to dress in layers and bring rain gear.
If you want to get out on the lake and get some tasty filets for the winter give me a call.
Unfortunately, with the cost of everything still on the rise, I have no choice but to raise my rates for 2023. I have been debating this for months and decided to raise them by only $50.
I am trying my best to keep my prices fair and affordable for everyone. If you shop around you will find I am not the cheapest but also not the most expensive. The best part is if you book with a deposit before May 1st, you can lock in your trip at the 2022 rate. You can also buy a gift certificate now at the 2022 rate and choose the date of your trip later on.
The fall is one of the best times to fish Oneida Lake. The lake fishes well all season but when the fall comes the walleyes put on the feed bag in preparation for winter. This time of year trolling crankbaits produces a lot of action most days.
It is safe to say the fall bite is here and will only continue to get better as the cooler weather arrives. I will be running trips until the snow flies. If you want to get in on the action give me a call as soon as possible. Dates are filling fast as this is the prime time to put some fish in the freezer.
I have been busy running trips most days of the week. The only thing consistent has been the early bite. Getting on the water first thing has been critical.
Each day the bite has been different but every day it has been best early. Many days we are putting fish in the boat trolling then finishing the day jigging. Other days the trolling bite has been good enough to put a limit in the boat.
Limits aren’t hitting the net every trip but plenty of fish are. Some days the bite us really good and we limit early. Other days it has been tougher and we fish hard to get as many as possible during our time on the water.
This year’s theme has been teaching. Many of my trips have been people looking to learn. I am always willing to share my knowledge and help fellow anglers.
If you want to learn or just want to go catch a bunch of fish give me a call to get in on the action. I will be running trips until the snow flies.
Walleye fishing on Oneida Lake has been good. We are getting fish trolling and jigging. Each day one produces better than the other but most days both have produced.
Fishing is not lights out constant limits but it has been steady. Some days we have struggled but still put fish in the boat. Other days the fishing has been nothing short of fantastic.
If you want to get in on the action give me a call and I’ll get you on the water. If there is a technique you are looking to learn let me know. I am always willing to teach anglers during the trip.
Today I had the pleasure of fishing with Art and his granddaughter Lilly. I met Art at the New York sportsman show this past January.
Art was looking to learn how to catch walleyes. Although we didn’t set the world on fire we did manage to catch a few during their 4 hour trip today. Now Arts off to Bass Pro Shop for some new trolling gear!
I have plenty of open dates available if you want to get in on the action. Weekends are starting to fill up for the summer though. If you need a weekend date call as soon as possible. If you are looking to learn Oneida Lake I am a teaching guide service. Let me know the techniques you are looking to master and we will set up a trip just for you.
