  1. Green/chartruse prism tape on a chrome sonar-type blank works.

    I've a LOT of foul hook-ups(side of the head, in the eye, under the lower lip) with sonars than otherwise.

    One year on Oneida, there were a bunch-o-fish congreated in one area for some time, and it was not a secret.

    Lampreys are gone from Oneida, but from the looks of those legal and short fish, you'd not think so.

  2. I dose my main tank with Marvel Mystery Oil as per directions several times during the year.

    I use it in my lawn & garden tractor, snowblower, ATV's, and our automobiles.

    I notice smoother operation of the V-6 in my 221 Islander.

  3. I've never fished Oneida lake walleye. I have a 17ft bluefin, any tips you could give me? What are you using for bait? I don't have down riggers. Do you have to troll for them?

    Sent from my SM-G900V using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    You do not have to troll for them, but w/o riggers you can use leadcore line, or snap weights off Church boards/big boards, or also "dives to" Rapalas if doing so.

    A lot of guys jig them up with hair jigs tipped with a crawler, or by ripping sonars.

    Thing with the Sonars(Heddon) or better word, blade bait, you foul hook more than legal hook, at least from what I've witnessed.

  4. North of the bouys/shipping channel from 109-117.

    Cornell and the DEC efforts seem to have the lake a real Walleye factory.

    Not monsters but a ton in the 17-20" ranges, or so it appears.

  5. Yep.

    Beaucoup' marks constantly.

    Some pasted to the bottom, and saw those in groups of 6-8-10, but a LOT of suspended fish.

    We watched the floating Rapalas running about 5-6 feet below the balls, and took that into account on the leadcore.

    The short fish once hooked, will just come along for the ride on the lead line, barely detectable, but we keep close eye on that.

    Came home, cleaned fish, and went over to the farm we hunt(spotted 2 VERY young fawns) and tilled/disc'd/ planted deer food plots 'till about 8 pm.......I was ready for bed after that.
