HI
AM a geezer from Massachusetts vacationing at Oneida October 8 to 13th
Since Oneida is 50k acres am looking for general area and techniques appropriate for that time of year
These days I fish for lake trout and salmon so am capable of fishing deep or suspended fish using hardware and bait
Also have past experience fishing walleye in Quebec and Ontario provinces using jigs. Bottom bouncers , and rigs
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
Tony
GET THIS S... off this page. this is a FISHING Site/Blog. i DO NOT want to see dead rodents or big busted girls or th e latest can-opener. STOP THIS. STICK to Fishing info.
Being you'll be there in October,I'm thinking the Walleye might be coming out of deep water and back to the areas that they will spawn in the spring. A good area to probably fish would be the Sylvan Beach area. The canal is in that area and the fish would go up the canal to spawn in the spring. Preferred technique would be bottom bouncers and or leadcore line trolled with worm spinner rigs. Boat launch at Snuggs Harbor is right there and a $10 fee.
Thanks Ed
Just seeing this
Found success trolling deeper water 40ish off Godrey launch area using plugs and spoons on solid copper wire

Nice,still in deep water sounds like,water temperature probably gradually going down hasn't been that cold yet, no freeze. How deep were the fish holding ,were they suspended?
Surface water was 60
Fished 39 to 42 ft deep at 1.6 mph
Fished one morning, one mid day, and one evening
All produced, evening slightly better
Very good info thanks,might be making one last trip to Oneida this year,Walleye fillets in the freezer,winter stock.
Good luck if you can make the trip
