Oneida Lake's Premier Fishing Charter
The weather might be turning cold but the walleye bite on Oneida Lake is hot.
The fall is a great time to get a pile of filets for your freezer. Trolling crank baits with leadcore has been producing a lot of bites per day.
If you want to get in on the action give me a call today. I will be fishing until the snow flies or the launch freezes.
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.
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 good to great depending on the day. Smiling customers holding racks of nice fish is my favorite way to end the day.
Casting in the weeds is starting to produce fish. However, trolling in the depths is still the most consistent way to put fish in the box. Worm harnesses on the bottom have been the key to full livewells.
As the summer continues, the fish will set up different patterns. As the patterns change, I will continue to provide updated reports here.
If you want to get in on the action, give me a call and book a trip today.
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.

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.
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.
This morning when we left the dock it was 28 degrees. Funny how you don’t notice how cold it is when the fish are biting. And biting they were. Not a crazy bite but good enough to boat 6 eyes and a dozen and a half perch. Most fish were caught on jigging raps in various colors. Unfortunately my client was a little camera shy today, so no picture of him just the fish.
There is still time to get out before the snow flies. Call me to book trip today.
