After being off the lake for 2 weeks while on vacation, it was nice to see nothing has changed.
Adam and Dan were treated to the typical Oneida lake fall bite. As usual leadcore and stickbaits was the ticket. For now the fish are still deep. With water temps in the mid 50s, it won’t be long and they will move shallow and the jig bite will turn on.
I still have openings and will be fishing weather permitting for the next month.
Today’s trip brought Mike and Mike to Oneida Lake in search of walleye. With 3 Mike’s on the boat we headed out to do some walleye fishing.
The plan was to cast today. However, strong winds had us thinking trolling was the better option. Turns our our thoughts were spot on. As soon as the baits were in the water, the fish started coming over the side.
At the end of the trip, we had lots of smiles and a boat limit of nice walleye. As the fall pattern sets up these fish just want to eat. This is a great time for both trolling and casting. Call to lock in a date for a fall walleye fishing trip.
Walleye fishing on Oneida Lake has been steady to good. Of course there is always the occasional tough day but over all the bite has been on.
It is mayfly season, so trolling worms behind spinners has been the ticket. Matching the hatch is key and the worm and spinner rig represents the mayfly larva.
It is not that they can’t be caught with other methods this time of year it is just that most days, spinners will produce the most fish. That being said, if someone wanted to jig instead of troll jigging is what we would do. I would just make sure there were also spinners and worms in the boat just in case.
I am booked for the next week straight but still have dates available after that. Fish will be moving off the mayflies and onto baitfish in the near future. If you want to get out and fish give me a call to book a trip today. If I am booked I also have other captains I can recommend. For larger parties I can set up multiple boats as well.
Don’t forget to follow Full Tank Charters on Facebook.
Well the charter season has finally arrived. My first trip of the year was with Danny and his son Hunter. While we didn’t exactly light them up they did manage to land 6 eyes and 6 nice perch. They jigged hard and never gave up. Always fun fishing with you guys! Looking forward to your next trip with me.
If you are looking to get out call soon as dates are filling quickly.
Unfortunately, with the cost of everything still on the rise, I have no choice but to raise my rates for 2023. I have been debating this for months and decided to raise them by only $50.
I am trying my best to keep my prices fair and affordable for everyone. If you shop around you will find I am not the cheapest but also not the most expensive. The best part is if you book with a deposit before May 1st, you can lock in your trip at the 2022 rate. You can also buy a gift certificate now at the 2022 rate and choose the date of your trip later on.
Today’s trip was a last minute booking. This time of year that is more than acceptable as the weather can be unpredictable. Victor wanted to get his 2 kids out fishing on this gorgeous day.
Taking kids fishing is something I strongly support. Matthew and Avenir we nothing but smiles all day. At the end of their four hour charter they had a boat limit to take home and many more released to filet another day.
Oneida Lake walleye fishing has been very consistent this year. This fall it has been nothing short of amazing most days. I will be fishing until the snow flies so if you want to get out on the water give me a call.
Today I had the pleasure if guiding Adam and Rich. The Lake was not what you would call happy. It was a bumby ride for sure. Lucky for us the walleye didn’t care what was going on on the surface and were very hungry. They left with a limit of walleye filets and many more were released.
The walleye fishing on Oneida Lake has remained excellent. Over the last 2 weeks I have had a bunch of excellent trips. All of which have ended with limits of walleye in the livewell.
A few days ago Chris Scriba asked me to help him with a 2 boat trip. We both used different techniques but eneded with the same results. Our guests went home with piles of filets to enjoy.
If you would like to get in on the action I still have some openings and will be fishing well into the fall.
