About Your Trip

Spend the day chasing trophy walleyes on Oneida Lake, one of the Northeast's premier walleye fisheries. Known for its healthy fish population and consistent action throughout the spring and summer, Oneida offers outstanding opportunities for anglers looking to hook hard-fighting fish and bring home some of the best table fare freshwater has to offer.

Your trip is led by full-time guide and USCG Master Captain Joe, who spends countless hours tracking seasonal patterns to stay on active fish. His primary focus is casting and jigging, two of the most productive and engaging techniques for Oneida walleyes. When conditions call for it, he'll switch gears and troll to keep rods bending and maximize your success.

Fishing takes place aboard a spacious StarCraft Fishmaster 196, a deep-V fishing platform built to handle Oneida's changing conditions while providing a comfortable ride for everyone onboard. Its versatility allows you to fish confidently even when the lake gets a little sporty, helping you spend more time on productive water.

This six-hour trip includes all rods, reels, tackle, and equipment, so all you need is a valid New York fishing license, weather-appropriate clothing, and your favorite snacks and drinks. At the end of the day, Joe will clean and fillet your catch so you're ready to enjoy fresh Oneida Lake walleye at home.

Whether you're targeting your first walleye or looking to refine your jigging skills on one of New York's best fisheries, this trip delivers an outstanding day on the water.
