A busy fall season

Posted in Reports, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on September 22, 2024| Leave a Comment »

This fall has been busy for a different reason than those in the past.  I have been busy coaching both of my boys’ fall baseball teams. During this, I purchased a new larger boat as well.

The new boat is Hewescraft Sea Runner 210. This boat fishes even bigger than it is with seating for 6 adults and plenty of room left to fish. I will be offering trips for up 6 people on Lake Ontario, Oneida Lake,and Cayuga Lake.

I have been trying to get the new boat rigged and dialed in. After this past Thursday and Friday, I can say it is. I had Joel and his son Caleb aboard, and while we didn’t get as many bites as others, we put fish in the boat each day. Friday was our better day, putting 4 in the box and dropping multiple others.

Fall baseball season will be running through the Saturday of Columbus Day weekend. After that, I have open dates available for Oneida Lake walleye fishing or Cayuga Lake for trout and Atlantic salmon. I will be running trips until the launches freeze. The full canopy will keep you out of the weather in between bites. Call now to set up a fall or winter trip.

Oneida Lake Walleye Fishing 8/19/20

Posted in Reports, tagged , , , , on August 19, 2020| Leave a Comment »

This afternoon I had the pleasure of taking Ken and Gerry out on Onieda Lake walleye fishing. Ken won the trip I donated for the Redfield Fish and Game Club kids fishing derby raffle.

When we launched the boat it looked like it might be a little bumpy out in the deeper water. That turned out to be an understatement. When we got out to the area I wanted to fish we had 3 to 4 foot waves. We were there so we set up and trolled with them. I was hoping it was going to lay down but the waves coming over the back of the boat as we trolled didn’t give me much confidence. The marks on the fish finder gave me plenty of confidence we were going to catch fish though.

We finished one pass landing three keeper walleye. I gave them the choice of running back west and making another pass or giving it a try another afternoon. They decided it was time to head back to the dock and I didn’t blame them as the waves were not letting up and actually still building.

All things considered it was a good hour on Oneida Lake. Hopefully next time we will have calmer water. I have some date available for October walleye fishing before I put the boat away for the winter. Book them now as it’s also salmon season so dates are filling quickly.

Fishing for Walleye with Buck Tail Jigs

Posted in Tips and Tricks, tagged , , , on May 23, 2013| Leave a Comment »

Yesterday was the first time I have fished with buck tail jigs using stinger hooks. Until yesterday I had never even heard of such a thing. I use trailer hooks on spinner baits but had never thought of using them on a jig.

The stinger hooks we where using where small treble hooks rigged on mono-filament fishing line. The line is run through a bobber stop then looped and brought back through the stop creating a loop to put over the jig hook. A metal crimp is used below the bobber stop to keep the loop together. You tip the jig with half a night crawler, loop the stinger hook over the jig hook, and then slide the bobber stop up tight to the hook.

This technique is great when a fish strikes the worm and not the jig itself. The walleye I caught yesterday came in hooked just by the stinger. My friend Mike said that many times this is the case. Only when the bite is really on do they normally come in on the main hook. He fishes a stinger hook whenever he is Walleye fishing on Oneida Lake.  After yesterday I am a believer and will be doing the same.

Walleye Fishing at night on the Black River

Posted in Other, tagged , , , , , on December 6, 2012| Leave a Comment »

In New York State Walleye season opens on the first Saturday in May. I offer trips starting that Friday night at midnight through the month of June. The first two weeks of walleye season can be some of the best fishing of the whole year. It is not uncommon for 7 to 10 pound fish to be brought to the net.
