Oneida 5/29/30 Bad and Good

[walteye]

Coming up from PA and watching the weather-came up Saturday night to fish Sunday and 1/2 day Monday. With the showers and overcast day on Sunday-with the unbelievable bug population that descended on my boat all day-with the lures that were trolled and the jigs that were jigged-I thought it would end up a good day. I at least can say that the 11 hours fishing produced a limit and a few perch. I marked so many fish without a bite it was frustrating. But I put icons in the GPS to try again on Monday.

With better weather and so much less bugs to contend with on Monday-I headed out to Dakin Shoals and trolled the easternmost hump that had SO many marks on Sunday with nothing to show for it- within an hour I had my limit in the boat! Any lure in perch color produced til the sun broke through-then the purples took off. Fished the south side of Shackleton Shoals in 35 fow and just hammered the eyes for 3 hours- ended up with 28 eyes caught by 11 am. The worst part of the day was the floating weeds and dragging the planer boards down.

Sounds like some great action!

Oneida is weird like that, those fish bite like crazy one day and not the next.
