Fished Onieda Saturday morning. The wind was blowing pretty hard which was a bit annoying. We tried working the bank slow for awhile catching a few, then got tired of fightin the wind. So we anchored up to jig. The fishing was a bit slow but we boated a few eyes and some big perch. I was catching up with an buddy I haven't seen for awhile so we mostly BSed. The fish bit stayed pretty steady until I had to leave just after noon. 2 lbs was the biggest walleye we caught.

I sure love them eyes! Just wished they wasn't stunted!

Do you fish the dam end, the middle, or the inlet?
Oneida is a little further over and I have never fished it, but if I get a chance I would like to.
I like to try new places, I just don't know why I end up so often at the same old places????

Mostly in the middle this time.
I always fish the same places, because it takes time to figure out new places most times. If you do not have much fishing time, it is hard to make the gamble.

Why do you think they are stunted? I am catching bigger and bigger perch and walleye here lately. I have only been able to get out a few times this year but it seems I am catching less walleye then the past few years but they are getting bigger and a little more spread out now and the perch are getting freakishly big there now. A friend of mine just had a fish fry were they had caught about a hundred perch all larger then 13 inches.

oh trust me they are not stunted in there at all!!! every time we head that way there is always some one at LaTeinda telling us they are stuntyed, been like that since i was a kid fishing that place lol, there are still some toad wall eye and smallies in there. here is a little hint/trick i use when i fish from either the boat or the float tube up there. stand on the ramp and look up lake to your right on the opposite bank. you will see a tree in the water (unless it has been removed) with a cascade of white rocks about the size of a softball that creates a mini cove if you will. concentrate on the shore, both up lake and down 100 yards in each direction. watch your fish finder, you will be suprised at what you see happens to the lake bottom in that 200 yards of water.

I am assuming you are talking about the one by the dam. I have fished up there quite often the past few years and it has been pretty spotty. I know it is my learning curve on the walleye. I would just like to know if you are getting more walleye jigging or trolling? Suspended or on the bottom? I am willing to put in the time to get them figured out, but a friendly word here or there can sure speed up the process. You can PM me if you would like to share. I would try to pay back in any way I can.

I have lived in Mink Creek for 13 yrs before I moved and I'm still fishing them eyes. I have done everything from lead core bottom bouncers jigging everything I can think of. I catch lots of eyes but NONE over 25in. That's not counting the river I know there huge in the river. But maybe that's just my luck![crazy]

jigging, and away from the dam

There always been. HUGE PERCH in there! I don't do nothing with them bait robbers lol!! Perch bass n carp all do well in the Res. I just think there would be more walleye over 25in. Then I've seen.[mad]

How many out of the Res Oneida not the river have you got over 25? (Walleye)

to be honest with you i have only caught one out of the river on my fly rod that went all of 8 inches... oput of the lake that big?...... i would say enough to count on one hand myself... now Trout_Slayer (my brother) and dad, holy cow i couldent begin to imagine how many.... this is of course counting when i first started fishing it 25+ years ago

I have read lots of trout_slayer's post haven't seen any eye's over 25in. some 16-19 doesn't mean there not there just that I wanna see more[:/]. In the river I've seen plenty over 30 but in the spawn. Just thought I'd see more was all. I figured stunted but maybe not, I geuss its me finding the grade schools instead of the big Ol gals that's in there[cool] Anywho I geuss ill make a trip n try again!
