Yesterday I had the pleasure of taking Brandon, Christina, Jace and Daniel out on Oneida Lake. While the weather wasn’t the best, the fish kept us busy enough not to care and the Hewescraft kept us comfortable.

Unfortunately we couldn’t keep the undersized fish off the hook. It seemed like every move I made put us into more shorts. That being said the kids didn’t mind as they were happy to be getting bites and catching fish. Them catching a bunch of fish was the goal for the day and that is exactly what happened. They ended the day with 3 keeper walleye and 5 good perch. I lost count of how many we threw back.

We trolled worm harnesses behind bottom bouncers in 25 to 30 feet of water. Pink and purple being our best colors.

A big thank you to Captain Mike Tankersley for the tip location the day before. Also, a big thank you to Eddie’s Salmon River Lodge for providing them a great place to stay.

Jace got off the boat and said he wanted to do this charter again next year. Hearing that made me forget how miserable the weather was as I was loading the boat.

I have dates available for Oneida, Ontario, or Cayuga Lake. Give me a call for details.
