Oneida ice conditions. ...

[JakeyBaby]

Was wondering if anyone fished Oneida today that knows how the ice is holding up with this warm weather. Planning on heading there early in the morning.

Thanks Matt

A lot of ice (12" or so). Fished off Lewis Point today. a couple inches of water on top though. You'll need creepers.

Matt, where are you fishing out of? We fished Chapmans yesterday and had 10+" of ice. There was a nasty pressure ridge right off the park. Not an issue to cross a hundred tads down the shoreline. We fished way offshore and had good ice all the way.

[JakeyBaby]

Not 100% sure were we are goin to go out of yet. This will be my 1st trip there ever so....... will see what happens.

Looking to go to Oneida maybe sunday for the first time in a couple years. I fished only out of Sylvain beach. Is this still a good spot or are there better areas? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Also is there any shorter walks to deeper water?

 Are you going to target walleyes ?Sylvan beach can be good, but no structure, fish can be hard to find there at times... and a pretty long walk to deep water.

Lewis point, has a shorter walk to deep water...and some better drops and edges and structure to concentrate fish. I havn't fished lewis pt yet this year, so I'm not sure of the ice conditions there, but I had 12" saturday, and 101/2 inches yesterday on the north shore between constantia and cleveland. Some of saturdays holes were draining the ice and were BIG yesterday ! So beware of the old holes.Walleye Fishing was real good for me this week-end....good luck to you.

I fished out of Jewel Friday. 26 shorts no keepers, 1 perch. Shorter walk to deep water but the hill on the way out is a killer.

Bondouley, not sure if you got my reply to your pm...all fish were caught jigging...jigging raps in various colors worked good, tipped with emerald shiner or just head of bait at times.22 to 25 fow

 

Apps bait shop in cleveland north shore has all sizes of emeralds for jigging or tip ups...also an access there...and not far from godfrey boat launch access cleveland and taff...and  also jewell a little further east.

 

There is a bait shop near lewis point on south shore near south bay Verona called marion manor, not sure if they have emeralds or not.

 

Bartell road bait shop has bait too... west end of lake in brewerton

good luck and stay safe.

You;re welcome bondouley. Good luck to you....catch a bunch    but be wary of gas holes and large drain holes, that might be just skimmed over this week end.

[bondouley]

Marion mannor has large and small buckeyes "emerald shiners" fished two weekends ago had better luck on raps w/ no bait. They seem to study it too long with bait. Lots of shorts but it keeps it fun. Had 8 inches out of north shores.

Some of the slobs I've caught out of Oneida, have come from dead-sticking, in a second hole.

We are planning on going Sunday...........finally.

Fished west of Lewis Point yesterday, on old waypoints that usually seem to work.

First time out this year.

26 fow were where we found some fish, 6 total Walleyes, along with some silver bass.

Did not hammer them, but caught enough for a good supper one night this week.

Introduced a couple of my son's friends to this.........they seemed to be interested in it.
