    Oneida

    Finally made it out for my first Oneida excursion for the year since Ice season and same story for me. 7 eyes and only 2 over 15”. Most were under 12” and had to really work for them. Conditions seemed right but should have known by the lack of boats on the water that things are slow. Nice to get out and surface weeds weren’t too bad for trolling. Jigged ‘til my arms were sore and resorted to trolling for 4 shorts while my dad dragged a plain worm on the bottom with some split shots to get 1” short of his limit.
  2. Big fish. Nice job right out of the gate! Do you have downriggers on that boat or are you running dipseys?
  3. Good luck Clark, let me know how you do! I’m hoping to find a sitter for the kids so I can sneak out for the morning and fish tight since I don’t have riggers yet
  4. Wow I wish it was a 2 piece, just got back from the cape and am looking for a 10’ lami.
  5. Great fish, looks like a 24”? You guys fishing over the deep water?
  6. Hey I know that lake! I’ll be out there on Sunday when I get home from Brooklyn, can’t wait
  7. Great story and experience! Gotta love those rare moments that catch you by surprise.
  8. I do have an electric trolling motor and would eventually like to have a kicker motor, but this boat like my last is a bay boat design with the self bailing scupper valves just above the water line. I am afraid to put a kicker on and lower the deck any more which is why I think my boat sunk last fall when my bilge failed. I need something very light weight. My 6 hp Johnson was only around 35lbs.
  9. Awesome JD, that’s what I’m hoping for. I have company coming for dinner tonight so my hopes of fishing today were squashed but some day I will have a chance to test it out.
  10. Sk8man, you mentioned your stainless prop. What is the advantage of those over the aluminum?
  11. Good suggestion, I had two brand new drift bags that went down with the last boat. I’m going to try a little trolling tomorrow to see how it does and will probably order a couple of bags in the meantime. I’m hoping to replace it next season with a 4 stroke if I decide I really like this boat so I’m not worried about putting more hours on it. Thanks for all your input guys, very helpful.
  12. Great video, thanks for sharing
  13. Wish I saw this earlier, just bought 2 spools for $42 each
  14. I just bought a boat with a 1995 Mercury 115 2- stroke outboard. It has an electric trolling motor but plan to troll with my main motor for more power. My last Yamaha 130 fouled plugs on every trip if I trolled over 3 hours. Just curious if anyone has a merc and has had good luck with slow trolling.
  15. Good to know. Still getting my new boat set up, no riggers yet just a lead core and 2 dipsey rods set up to start the season. Cant wait to get back out there.
  16. Curious how the launches are myself. I was at Stony Point today and the water is about 3’ below where it usually is this time of year
  17. Thanks, I haven’t heard of Slimy Grimy but I found one called Green Genie that looks easy like that with no scrubbing, just power wash off.
  18. Awesome thank you, I have been looking at different formulas online but would rather hear first hand knowledge like yours
  19. Thanks for reporting all your trips. I haven’t been able to get out until I get my boat/ trailer registered but nice to get an idea of what’s happening out there.
  20. I finally just replaced the old Green Hornet with one that won’t sink hopefully. It was docked for two months but I will be trailering it and want to clean it up. What is a good cleaner to get the algae and scum off the bottom without hurting the gel coat?
  21. Sorry, I just finalized my boat purchase yesterday and had a busy weekend. Too bad you don’t have two holders but I’ll take the one. Do you just need my email address to send the invoice to PayPal?
