Looks like a dope trip, scotty. Good stuff and cool turbot. Freshwater baccala!

Next year we go a day earlier for steelhead then hit the ice 👍🏻 Good catching Scotty 2 hottie!

Nice job on the eyes, I have passed that lake too many times to count on the way to Pulaski and have always wanted to fish it but never have. I was always told there are a ton of eyes in there but they are generally smaller on average than Ontario, your report seems to confirm that. Well done and the Burbot is really cool looking!

Looks like a great trip.

I have to go North next ice season to try out some of these other fisheries.

Awesome man, looks like a phenomenal fishery. Those burbot are so cool. I'd love to get one. Only freshwater member of the cod family!

sadly, they are in steep decline, and in danger of disappearing from oneida lake... they were ultra abundant, but have been killed for decades en masse because "fishermen" didn't like their looks.. Still thrown on the ice for seagulls by a lot of ice fishermen today... bob

i was told the opposite...then i caught that 32" eye from ontario last year, the guide said "that's a real nice one for here, but Oneida has some real monsters!"
