forgot to add that there was also no one fishing at all.very odd.mabey 6or 8 people at northport, annes point and mabey a dozen at the narrows,ran into team quinte at the narrows thursday noon and they where packin up.shouldve followed them around like a dog i guess.well it was better than work. BUT FOR THE YEAR.i went twice early feb and late feb,punched over100 holes and have no eyes to show for it,is it the fishery taken a dive with the natives[indians] harvesting all the walleyes they want,or just a poor year??and so long 4 now;john

fishing was terrible but the food and beer was great.fished big isalnd and northport,annes point as wellas the narrows.4 guys over 3 days 1 8lb eye.here are some pixs of food and beer though and so long 4 now;john

7am till 11am,25-35fow,lots of dinks 50+ no keepers[9+] every hole showed fish and the dinks would hit everything,very windy so i didnt move much but didnt hear of anyaction either.the bay is in great shape for walkin though.and so long 4 now;john

they really know how to fish in the midwest

great fish,but what did you do with it??eat???i assumed eyes that large and old would not ge good eatin.just curious

awesome

great job.save some for me when i get up there in feb 2009,and so long 4 now;john[if you decide to go up the 1st week in december ill tag along!!]

what a great job of catch and release.no fuss no mess and no angry 15lb fish slopping around your boat breakin ****e.and so long 4 now;john

the best and safest[weather] place to launch and be close???? to the fish may be fremac's on the south side in lakeport.straight out of the launch and to the west is a good weed bar for eyes, perch or bass.after that head slightly ne after you pass 22 fow you will come to another weed bed.same deal.after that, north east ,the water starts to drop off to 22-32 fow.eyes and bass.and you are still less than 2 miles from shore!!if you keep headin ne you will come to 38 to 42 fow these are the pancakes,still less than 3 miles away from shore and walleye territory.the lake is full of bait.good luck and hope this helps.and so long 4 now;john

fished north and east of 119.caught 2 eyes and 2 perch,if it wernt for the weeds foulin my set up every 15 seconds would have limited out.trollin with dipsy in 50fow.warked lots of bait and fish just not many tackers with lures fouled with weeds.had a few boats around me but didnt see any caught??.if anyone from the board was there i was solo in a blue bps jacket in a 16ft deep v tracker with a 50merc.now that bow season is uppon us fishin will take a back seat.and so long 4 now;john

south west of godfry point.north of bouy 119.seems a little odd they are still so deep.but ill try tomorrow and post

great job.after seein that photo i put my walleye stuff back in the boat and goin to try to find them tomorrow.50 fow is some pretty deep water for oneida!!thanxs for the info and so long 4 now;john [if anyone wants to say hi ill be operatin a 2005 deep v 16 ft tracker with a 50 merc.]

pm sent but no reply.are they still 4sale? pm me orleave an update on this board;john

if you need a new place to try i recommend maxwell creek.there are lots of area for northerns and as soon as it rains it will have salmon and steelies along with northerns.ive caught 3 large[36+]northerns from there tossin spinners for steelies.tuff to beat a36in fish with 6lb test line with a noodle rod.and if you would like i be more than happy to show a rook how to icefish.pm me and let me know;and so long 4 now;john

those eyes look like they eat well,same story as a previous post always meanin to go up there but unless your shown the ropes once its tough fishing,not to mention a little expensive.ive tried what your doin a half dozen times ,but without the planer boards,usin dipsy divers instead,should i invest in planner boards??congrats and so long 4 now.john

fished from 6am till 1130 am.jigged the weeds nothin,started trollin in 24fow out to 42fow,marked an amazin amount of bait!!never seen so much in 40fow.the smallmouths were literally jumpin out of the water chasin minnows in 41fow.marked lots of arches but caught no eyes .for the day it was 2 smallmouths a perch and a large 13in whit perch.not sure if the eyes were there or not but the bait clouds were crazy.put the walleye stuff away today goin to catch some perch till bow season opens and so long 4 now;

those eyes may be stagin to head to BOQ when you kept the small ones what was in there bellires??and so long 4 now;john

still no pics

was the 1st one on the water fished through the rain storm and ended up with 1 perch for 5hrs of fishing,trolled around the northern points from 45-75 fow.marked lots of bait and arches just no takers.decide to try deep weed edges and no luck there either.may be my last hurrah trin to figure out a day time bite on owasco.and so long 4 now;john

you could fish on the river in weedsport ,plenty of area to fish.where the river is @devany[rt34] or at bonta bridge rd.or howland island.

i met a fisherman at the launch who got 4 eyes and some jumbo perch.was tight lipped on what he was usin,but we where fishin the same depth.its either oneida again saturday or mabey otisco,need to be off the water early to see the 2008 version of the s.u orange!! and so long 4 now
