The skunks need to have more predators...I lost count of how many scooted through camp and right under my camp chair at the fire!EEEK! Dogs don't have the greatest time at camp for sure!

There are a ton of skunks up there. One day while out in my tube, I watched a skunk wrestling with a carp carcass that was bigger than it was. It was pretty entertaining, I'm just bummed I forgot my camera that day, it would have made for some good video footage.
That's good to know there's a decent population of trout in there. I figured they must be in there since there are plenty in the river, I've just never targeted them. I did have a rather sizable trout follow a lipless crank in to my tube last spring, but that was the only one I had seen in there. Oneida is a trickier fishery than the others in the area IMO. I usually get plenty of smallie action, but oddly enough I've never caught perch there. All the other reservoirs I catch them on bass lures at least at some point, but even dropshotting deep with small baits, I only get smallies, sunfish and the occasional eye. I don't get it.
