Walleye Fishing in New York
June 2009
June walleye fishing on Lake Ontario and Oneida lake has
been decent so far.
Slow trolling large stickbaits after dark along the shoreline
of Lake Ontario has been producing trophy size walleye. Worm/spinners
trolled along the east shore of Oneida lake has been awesome
in the evening. Slow trolling small stickbaits after dark
has been even better. Limits of 18-20''ers has been easy to
come by. We are offering great deal on short 4 hour trips
for angler who might not want to stay out all night. Give
us a call for details. We have PLENTY of openings the next
few weeks.
May 2009
The 2009 walleye season is well under way. So far this season
has been decent.
Slow trolling stickbaits in shallow water along the Lake Ontario
shoreline has been the go to tactics to finding big hungry
fish. Plenty of 10 pound plus walleye making it to the net,
with some slob 10-15 pound brown trout The last week has been
the most consistent of May for bigger fish. I would expect
the trend to continue into June.
Oneida Lake fishing has been good over all as well. Report
of limits of 20+ inch from shallow to deep water seem to be
the norm. We've done a few trips on Sandy Pond catching a
mix of walleye, pike and bass. Trolling worms/spinners during
the day and stickbaits by night is working on Sandy Pond and
Oneida Lake. We have plenty of June dates available for walleye
charters on Lake Ontario, Sandy Pond or Oneida Lake. We offer
great deals for booking 2 days.
Thanks for checking us out!

Post-spawn Walleye are very hungry and therefore trolling
tactics are very effective. We mainly troll at night when
the Walleye's are feeding the heaviest. These fish are true
trophy size and average 10 pounds.  It
is not uncommon to catch trophy 12-13 pound walleyes. But
when it comes to their appetite the walleyes are very similar
to us. Some days, they will go to great lengths to please
their bellies by roaming expansive flats or cruising miles
of shoreline in search of a few crayfish or shiners. Some
days, they prefer not to spend a lot of energy in search of
dinner and simply rest on the bottom and wait for dinner to
be come to them.

Walleye Fishing
If you are looking for an exciting and truly memorable walleye
fishing excursion that you won't soon forget, I would suggest
that you schedule a fishing trip with the walleye guide. Whether
you fish the Oswego River, Salmon River or Oneida NY, you
are in for the adventure of a lifetime.
The eastern basin of Lake Ontario is loaded with huge Walleyes.
From Oswego Harbor to Black River Bay,
there are many miles of trollable shoreline to catch these
fish. The fish enter late March to early April. Walleye season
is closed then to protect the futures young. The first Saturday
in May is the seasons opener. By this time the fish will have
moved back into the mouths and inlets they originated from.
Big walleyes often avoid primary structures when the fishing
peaks during the day. Walleyes are armed with excellent night
vision, making them more active after dark. This is the best
time to catch walleyes.
We have found the ideal water temperatures along the Lake
Ontario shoreline should be around 49-54 degrees to produce
the most decent walleye fishing. When the bait fish are in
the big hungry fish are following. Stick baits and covering
lots of water has been the key to success.
