Hello! I'm going to Oneida Lake the third weekend of July for deaf fishing club tourney. I have never been to Oneida Lake before. Any help, tips, websites, or reports would be a big help. I just bought a map of Oneida Lake to start off with. Thanks in advance!

Generally, there are tons of smallies on the off shore shoals. White spinnerbaits and shad crankbaits seemed to work the best last year. Had luck with chartruse cranks in the past too. Bring the baits right over the tops of the weeds. You may need to "fish around" the shoals to find the bass...sometimes they are right on top and other times on the deeper edges of them. The largemouth bite seems to allude me there.
