By this time yesterday, Brent Chapman had a limit in the boat. Today he has just one. He's fishing one of Oneida's big "dumping grounds," the areas where earth from the Erie Canal was dumped more than 100 years ago. This one is now covered in tall grass.
There's more wind today, coming out of the northeast, and more chop on the water, changing the fishing dynamics. We're thinking the wind is repositioning the baitfish, so Brent is now trying to find them. This time yesterday the water was dead calm.
