Oneida Lake's Premier Fishing Charter
Fall is here. I say it every year but this is my favorite time of year. The walleye start feeding heavy this time of year and the bite is normally fast and furious.
These pictures tell the story. Full boards and smiles are the regular. If you want in on some great walleye fishing give me a call.
Sorry for the lack of reports on the website. It has been a busy summer and the fishing has been great. Don’t forget to follow Full Tank Charters on Facebook for more frequent reports.
The walleye fishing on Oneida Lake is in full swing. We are getting fishing trolling, jigging and throwing jerk baits in the weeds. It is fishing and is always unpredictable but limits have been hitting the cutting board almost daily. If you want to learn how to catch walleye on Oneida Lake or just have a relaxing day putting some fish in the freezer give me a call to set up a trip.
As we move into late summer I am already thinking about fall. This is my favorite time to troll crank baits as the walleye key in on shad and put the feed bag on before winter. Doubles and even triples are not uncommon. Dates have been filling up further and further out so call to lock in a trip today.
Here are some photos of recent catches.
Even though it might not look it when you look out the window, walleye season will be here before we know it. This winter has been busy clearing all the snow but in between each trip out on the tractor I have been busy preparing for the 2025 season.
The normal boring stuff is all done. Line is replaced, spinners are tied, oil is changed in the motors, bearings are greased, and tires are checked. In addition to all the boring stuff I have added a new tow vehicle, a new hip, and forward facing sonar.
Not to mention all the new lures and old lures in new colors that have been added to the tackle boxes. Those who have fished with me in the past will notice a few new rods as well. Last but certainly not least everyone is going to notice the new 16 inch screen Lowrance on the transom. No matter where you are on the boat you will be able to look to the back and see what is going on down below.
I am already starting to book trips for the 2025 walleye season so call now to save your dates. Can’t wait to see everyone on the water this year.
As I sit here watching it rain and listening to the wind blow, all I can think about is walleye season will be here soon. With only a few short weeks before the season opens, now is the time to get your trip booked as prime dates are filling fast.
The mild winter made working in the garage more enjoyable. I have spent time preping lures, relining reels, purchasing and organizing tackle, and making improvements to the boat.
2024 is going to be a great season. With an ice season that was short and tough, to say the least, there were many walleye that were not caught this winter. They are still out there just waiting to be caught during the open water season.
I offer trips jigging and trolling for any level of experience. If there is a technique you want to learn more about or you just want to put some fishing in the freezer I am here to help. Call now and book your 2024 walleye trip before the dates full up.
Today’s trip found Allen, Julia and Kevin in the boat. Julia and Kevin were on leave from the Air force and are Allens daughter and son in-law. After returning to yesterday’s area it was clear the fish are on the move. After a little bit of searching though we found them.
We started out trolling then changed over to jigging then back to trolling when the lake went flat.
Jigging was was the best technique as most of the fish were caught on jigging raps and blades. A nice bunch of perch and walleyes.
Give me a call if you want to get a trip in before the snow gets here.
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.
The fall is one of the best times to fish Oneida Lake. The lake fishes well all season but when the fall comes the walleyes put on the feed bag in preparation for winter. This time of year trolling crankbaits produces a lot of action most days.
It is safe to say the fall bite is here and will only continue to get better as the cooler weather arrives. I will be running trips until the snow flies. If you want to get in on the action give me a call as soon as possible. Dates are filling fast as this is the prime time to put some fish in the freezer.
I have been busy running trips most days of the week. The only thing consistent has been the early bite. Getting on the water first thing has been critical.
Each day the bite has been different but every day it has been best early. Many days we are putting fish in the boat trolling then finishing the day jigging. Other days the trolling bite has been good enough to put a limit in the boat.
Limits aren’t hitting the net every trip but plenty of fish are. Some days the bite us really good and we limit early. Other days it has been tougher and we fish hard to get as many as possible during our time on the water.
This year’s theme has been teaching. Many of my trips have been people looking to learn. I am always willing to share my knowledge and help fellow anglers.
If you want to learn or just want to go catch a bunch of fish give me a call to get in on the action. I will be running trips until the snow flies.
Walleye fishing on Oneida Lake has been good. We are getting fish trolling and jigging. Each day one produces better than the other but most days both have produced.
Fishing is not lights out constant limits but it has been steady. Some days we have struggled but still put fish in the boat. Other days the fishing has been nothing short of fantastic.
If you want to get in on the action give me a call and I’ll get you on the water. If there is a technique you are looking to learn let me know. I am always willing to teach anglers during the trip.
Well after what seemed like a long winter open water season is finally here. Opening week has not disappointed and it’s obvious Oneida is going to fish very well again this year.
The state changed the limit and you are now allowed to take 5 of these delicious fish home for dinner. I do clean your fish for you at the end of the trip as well.
Opening day I had a chance to fish with my long time friend Louie. We put a hurting on them fishing blade baits and jigs. This weekend I am have a charter and a tournament so look for an update on Monday.
If you want in on the action give me a call and let’s put some fish in the net and your freezer.
