Jigging live bait

The walleye bite is as good as gets right now

The bite has been as hot as the summer heat for the 6 weeks!

Despite windy conditions, the crew fished hard and boated some great fish! We kept enough for a meal and let the rest swim on! Message us to get in on the action!!!

Left the dock at 630 am for this mornings charter. We set up into a troll looking to cover some water and find active fish. Rainbows and lakers were our target species and we found both. Short lead cores, riggers, and divers all contributed to our catch. Our rainbows were quite large, 24-28 inches respectively. Our lakers were average size and plentiful. It wasnt hot and heavy but we had our box by 10am and the guys were ready to head in. Things are still setting up on cayuga for the springtime troll bite. The fish are currently scattered, soon the bait will push up into the shallows and the bite will get very good. The rainbow fishing will continue to improve over the next few weeks as the fish get back into their normal spring pattern after the spawn.

Many ice anglers chomping at the bit to get out and fish found safe ice of Oneida Lake in several locations over the last few days. Fishing has been very good. Ice thickness -- not-so-much. With a drastic thaw, heavy rain, ensuing run-off, and warm temps in the forecast -- Venturing out on the ice anywhere in Central New York -- is not reccommended. Long range forecast has ice-making back on the menu. Stay tuned.
