Ice Fishing

[Splitear]

I've got a volunteer who is going to take me out this winter. My goal is to put together a 4-H program for next year. There's a ton of cool projects we can do with it. I'm hoping to get some grants for fish finders and cameras as well so the kids can see what's going on below the water.

Lots of folks fishing out of Brown’s Beach.  Drove by on my way home from my son’s ball game and the parking lot is pretty full for a cold day!

Anyone been on the north shore of Onieda, may take a ride to camp on weekend and give it a try

I wish that was easier to navigate (especially on my phone). I am rarely on a computer anymore

Yup still some good information but not the same as it was 20 years ago . Oneida lake reports would be 4 pages  deep daily. Last few years I haven't visited it as much . Seems to be on a downward slide . I still look before I head out . Haven't been to Oneida in a few years . Can't make the haul to shanty town like I use too. I don't have a machine so I walk it . I have been looking at getting a 4 wheeler or a snow dog .

Check out the Oneida lake Diehards site on Facebook.   You have to join up to see posts but lots of ice fishing info on there 

Small tent citys on Oneida right now.  They are doing well.

Yup I know they have a page ... I don't Facebook.  Tried it for a little while just didn't like the invasion of privacy. Ended when I got a friend's request from a coworker that I personally wouldn't piss on if he was on fire . I know the feelings  are mutual so it was an automated request but still who needs that chit .

I only use Facebook for checking the fishing .   Never "friended" anyone and never will. Most of it is just a mess I don't want either. So I'm with ya. But I do use it to look at sites for info only.

Honeoye Lake had a winter carnival many years ago.  If I remember correctly, I went in 1970 or 1971 but have no real recollection of it.

I remember  car races on waneta lake when I was a kid . Have seen ice boat racing on sodus . I hate ice boats . Pure ignorance of the drivers using my tip ups as a slalom course.

I'm heading up to sodus bay in the morning hope to get a bucket of perch . Wife wants fish chowder.going to be a cold one . I have 3 bottles of propane in the truck .

Anybody have pics to share of their haul?? Hell, it’s been two weeks since the last perch pics.

I heard @chef @crappyice and the Jerkman ice fished walking from my house today and did great. I couldn’t make it with family
