Oneida Lake Bass Management Audio Interview

Last June, our Backwoods Angler TV team traveled to Oneida Lake to shoot a couple of shows. We didn't have a walleye episode and wanted to get one in. When the westerly winds literally blew Captain Tony Buffa's charter boat into one of the large Oneida bays, he asked us if we were "OK" with fishing for smallmouth until the winds laid down? OK? I said, "Well....OK....if you insist!!!" What a terrible situation to be forced into! Give up walleye fishing for feisty Oneida smallies?

Over the next two-and-a-half days, we had some of the best smallie fishing I can remember! Size wasn't there, but we boated numbers of 2.5-3.5 pound bronzebacks on Case Salty Shads, topwater lures and Wacky Worm tubes. I was so impressed at how well-managed NY state's bass lakes seem to be. Cornell University has a Biological Field Station located at Shackleton Point on Oneida Lake. We were privileged to be able to spend some time speaking with several of the fisheries management folks there. I have included an audio interview with Randy Jackson, a fisheries management biologist, in this entry. It has some great info in it, so enjoy!
