Sk8man,

Small alewives definitely look alot like gizzard shad. These are definitely shad though, they are very common on the lake. Last fall season, the schools of shad were so large it made the shore fishing tough once they came in, it was common to see shad schools 10 to 15 feet wide.

Check this link, alewives are present in the lake but not common:

Fished Oneida shores at the boat ramps from 5 - 730 Friday night

Landed 1 shortie...had a couple follow-ups also...

How late do they allow you to fish the shores at night?

I thought they closed @ dusk.

Went out Sunday night for about an hour to the shores ramp and got 1 eye and some pickerels.  Not bad for a quick trip, hoping to get out tonight for a little longer we will see.

My buddy and I each got one tonight on the south shore. Mine went 4.5lbs which was nice for oneida. Weather was nice not too cold or windy contrary to the forecast I saw.

I brought the snow in my truck from Cayuga county, but it was spitting when we were out there. The wind was bitter.
