Yesterday afternoon the weather was beautiful and Lake Ontario was flat. With the launch open and the icebergs gone it was time to take the boat out for a test run just to make sure everything was in good working order before the season really kicks off.

Everything is good to go and it is time. I am now booking brown trout trips until walleye season begins. If you want to get out give me a call.

Yesterday Wayne and I set up and made 2 quick passes. We had multiple hits putting a few smaller browns and one big bass in the net. Unfortunately we didn’t locate any of the large browns we were hoping for but we were happy for the limited time we were on the water.

Oneida Lake Fishing Report 11/2/19

Ron and Brian came up from Pennsylvania to join me for an afternoon of walleye fishing on Oneida Lake. Ron had come up for a morning of trolling earlier in the year. This trip we decided to change it up and do some jigging.

The rain on Thursday left much of the east end of Onieda Lake muddy. Even with less than ideal conditions Ron and Brian had no trouble putting a limit in the livewell and releasing many other keeper size fish.

A big thank you to Ron and Brian not only for their business but for being willing to adapt and overcome the conditions. It was an amazing trip and I look forward to fishing with them in the future.

We will have plenty of good open water fishing left before the lake freezes. If you want to get out and get after some nice walleyes give me a call.

Today I had Ron on the boat and we were hoping for the same hot bite I had last weekend. Unfortunately today that was not the case.

The temperature was chilly and the bite was a bit of a grind. We stuck to the program and managed to put 9 in the net including one double before the trip was over.

Ron went home with a limit of walleye and a smile.

I will continue to fish until the lake is froze over. If you want to get out give me a call. I have 4 and 6 hour trips available for up to 3 people.

A Great Weekend On Oneida Lake Walleye Fishing

I had a great weekend fishing with the Evan’s. David, Chrissy and Jaxon had such a good time catching walleyes on Saturday that they decided to go again on Sunday. Sunday was a carbon copy of Saturday with another limit coming in the boat.What a great weekend spent with a great family. Trolling crankbaits was the ticket as it often is this time of year. There is still time to get in on the awesome fall fishing. Give me a call to set up a trip.

Take a kid fishing

When I started my Oneida Lake Walleye charter there was one aspect I didn’t realize how much fun it would be doing family trips like the one I had on Monday. It was father and his two kids. Seeing those kids smile as they caught fish after fish made my day. We ended up with 11 walleye and 2 big perch.

Seeing them catch those fish made me realize walleye are the perfect fish for most kids to target on a charter. Chances are a 15 to 20+” walleye will be the longest fish they have caught. Let’s face it walleye are sought out for their table far not their fight so even younger kids can have fun catching a very big to them fish.

Oneida Lake walleye are often very happy to provide steady action keeping kids entertained. Keeping them entertained is the most important part of taking a kid fishing after all. My boat is set up to be very safe for kids. (see pictures in the gallery) While Oneida Lake can get very rough at times, most days there is calm water to fish at one end or the other.

If you want to get your kid out for something larger than sunfish that will taste great for dinner that night give me a call and get a trip booked today.

I accommodate you @ Full Tank Charters

When you call to book a trip I will do everything I can to accommodate your needs. I will always tell you the truth about the ideal times, conditions, or techniques. That being said I am willing to do what needs to be done to get you on the water.

Yesterday was a perfect example of this. Dominick, Kyle and Guy wanted to go walleye fishing and 11 to 3 was when they were available. As you probably know this is not the prime time for fishing not only on Onieda but as a general rule everywhere.

Dom has a tough time getting around as he uses a scooter. We got him into the boat and ready for a great day of high noon fishing.

The bite was tough as expected but we still managed a couple limits and lots of smiles. Fish were taken trolling worm harnesses in 35 feet of water.

Want to get out walleye fishing but your schedule isn’t ideal? Give me a call. I will find a time slot that works for you and we will put some fish in the boat.

Oneida Lake fishing report 7/2/19

Fishing on Oneida Lake right now is nothing short of amazing. Limits after limits as of lately. Customers have been nothing but smiles as they land fish after fish.

The trolling bite has definitely picked up as we are starting to see more fish suspended. With that trolling has been our main focus the past few trips. That being said plenty of fish are still being taken on blade baits and bucktail jigs. As I stated the fishing is awesome right now. If you want to get in on the action give me a call and book a trip today.

Oneida Lake fishing report 5/15/19

May 17, 2019Mike "Tank" TankersleyLeave a Comment

I fished Oneida lake yesterday. Walleye fishing was tough and we worked for the 8 we landed.

Fish came in 26 to 38 feet of water on blade baits. The best colors were gold, purple and blue/chrome.

The walleye were mixed in with schools of perch. It was obvious they were feeding heavily on perch as they were puking them up in the livewell.

The fishing should improve as the weather finally starts to warm over the next few weeks. I will be out there this weekend and will post another report Sunday or Monday.

Give me a call if you want to get out on Oneida Lake walleye fishing.
