Best Fishing Techniques
When it comes to fishing Oneida Lake for walleye the best advice is to use a jig. A skilled angler with a great sense of feel that notices the delicate bite of the walleye can catch a lot fish with a jig. Right before the walleye begin to spawn they seem to feed a lot more. Their hunger makes them more aggressive than usual and you can be very successful when using the technique of trolling. Night trolling is the best because this is the main feeding time for walleye.
Since many walleye can be found in weeds and structures deep in the water during the summer this is a good time to fish with jigs. Get down into the deep pockets and you should have a lot of success. Using a slow trolling system can also be very beneficial. Of course, you will want to use a lightweight line when fishing in the shallows and increase the weight as you go out to deeper areas.
You do need to remember that walleye can be very stubborn at times when it comes to eating. Normally, they are not a picky eater but sometimes they will only eat what is convenient for them. For this reason you may have to change your tactics regularly to keep up with their moodiness. One night they may be swimming everywhere searching for their favorite food to eat and the next day, lie around lazily waiting for their meal to literally swim to them.
