I had my drone out on the North end of the lake today. If you were fishing at around noon you could be in the footage !
We went to fish for Lakers but the lakes mobbed near the deep water so we tucked off into a bay and got Into some perch. Seen 3 big schools of smelt on the sonar. Seen a couple guys with Lakers while on an atv ride around the lake. A few 25 inch trout . We came across some dirtbags spot that trashed the ice and left a pickerel to die on the ice. It was still alive so we stuck it back down the hole and it swam off.
Good job on the perch and also saving the pickerel.no trash on the ice is good.How deep do you figure the water was where the guy's caught the lakers ?
Hahaha I was that big blue clam shelter next to you. We caught one 19” laker on jig pole and I got a 13# pike out in deep water 6’ under the ice
South end is locked up? I wasn't sure if it would be with the warm days we've had. I'm planning on heading up next weekend. Looks like some real cold nights coming our way!
Nice surprise for the day 😁
Nice.Is that a Brown or a LL?
I did not test the ice south of the narrows and by no means calling it safe .What I can say is it was locked and I didn't see any wet spots from driving along rt 9. I also didn't see any signs of people either. Also, it was snow covered which means to me its been locked since at least last Monday.
Schroon has been slow but I keep finding a decent fish here and there. 27"The south end has large holes in the very thin layer of ice that formed. It has locked once before Tuesday and was blown right open.
