Northern NY Thread!

[northernnyice]

There has recently been boats fishing at Hawkins.


So, I'm down to my local pub getting some grub and I was playing Pub Quiz with my buddies and their wives. Question comes up, what does the Inuit word Nanook mean? Light bulb, I always assumed it meant home or shelter based solely off of Clam's Nanook ice shelter.. I confidently insist I've got this one.. "oh your smart!"... turns out nanook means BEAR!!! Hahaha lost a little face, all in fun.

Best wings in st law county by the way guys right here at the Raquette River Pub in Colton. (Was previously Finsih Line/Hotel)... recently judged 1st place in the north country wing challenge 2016-2017..

Brandy brook, wilson hill, fobares pond and whitehouse bay all have a solid foot of good ice......coles creek needs help with the ice conditions as the wind keeps busting up the ice.....we still have a month before this derby.....the extended forecast looks great for more ice formation...

cranberry derby was a good day for me finally. Weather was decent, lake conditions were pretty sloppy with lots of slush. I took 2nd in the 11-12 hour with a 10.4 and my girlfriend took 1st in the 12-1pm hr with a 9.12. I was more excited for her fish then mine. Her biggest fish yet and it won her $493. Also weighed in a 5.4 and 3lber, missed 2 fish as well. The biggest fish of the tournament was a 18.10lber. 2 machines through the ice, but everyone was safe to my knowledge. Congrats to the other winners and hopefully everyone enjoyed themselves. Now recouping for Simon on Saturday.

Congrats on the money fish....sounds like a good day on the ice....

[blackmer826]

Any day I catch a fish on cranberry is a good day, but Saturday just happened to be a good lucky day for us. I can't think of the number of days I spent sunrise to sunset out on cranberry without catching a pike.
