Walleye Fishing??????????????
OK I'm going fishing for walleye this weekend on Oneida lake. Its not a very deep lake but its one of the best in the country for walleye. The best place to catch them is supposed to be near these two islands in the middle of the lake. Its about 20 to 30 ft deep. I went there last week and there was tons of people fishing there and they were catching them like crazy. But i didn't catch one. I was jigging and had a worm at the end of the jig. How do i catch these walleye? What bait is best? Should i use deep diving crank baits or troll with a spinner or keep jigging? I need techniques and tips. Also, any one who has every fished Oneida lake in New York any tips or hot spots? Thanks!
Walleye can be hard to catch. What they like around my house is a couple things. They usually run about 27 feet.... A good setup is a crawler harness trailing about 6 feet behind a bottom bouncer. Troll it about 1.5 mph and see what you get. Another good way to catch them is with a lure called a "hot-n-tot" they are a really deep running crank bait. Put that about 8 feet behind a bottom bouncer and troll about the same speed. If you are using jigs use either a green, pink, orange, or red jig head. Another great lure is called a "erie deery" they have a goofy shaped weight with a blade spinner and a long hook on the back. Take a crawler and put it on the hook. Cast it out as far as you can and then let it sink to the bottom. Once on the bottom, Give it decent "yanks" and then let it settle to the bottom again and repeat.
Those are the best methods I have found. They like salty things...so maybe get some power bait or eggs.....All you have to do is try things out and best of luck!
