Hi,
I typically do all of my fishing in Vermont, but would love to spend a day on Lake George ice fishing for lakers ;D :icefish:
I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction, as I have no idea where to go :wacko:
I know people aren't going to give up their favorite spots, but a place to park & head 300 yrds SW or something to that effect would be greatly appreciated. ;)
Another thing I would be interested in... Is getting recommendations on a guide service. Somebody reasonably priced, knows what their doing, that you know/or have had good luck with...
Anyways, Thanks

where is Mt Holly ? George is a big lake where would you be planning to drive to ?
-
One goos spot when there is ice is The Million Dollar beach there everything in that area too fish for especiually some good laker fishing. You can park free during the winter time right at the boat lunch. The Million Dpllar Beach is at the most southern part of the lake. I drove by today and a slim coat of ice foarming in shore. Drove up by Assembly point and there where fisherman fishing Harris bay. Talked too them and repotes of 5"-7" of god black ice in the bay. I hope too make it up Sun morning and try for some lakers.

I just updated my profile... I live in West Rutland, VT.
I would be traveling over rt 4 into Whitehall & from their it would depend on where I should head to go fishing ;D
I realize the lake is huge... which is why I asked for a little help/direction

Bigbear--Any fish coming out of Harris Bay??
-
There are a few good spots I know along the west side of the lake, PM me and maybe we can get together in LG .
-
get on harris as soon as it is safe because it will be insane once word gets out. i mean no parking or room for holes if you are a late riser after 8 am. gonna try it wed if weather holds up. giants hat and green flack jacket. good luck and be safe
-
My gear is all packed and ready to go. I'll be driving to harris bay 1st. I'll pry be flying solo with a black "icecube" portable. I'll pry be wearing spikes and a life jacket 2. Lol. I don't care how foolish it looks.
-
Fished Harris Bay this am for a few hours, no fish but lost 2 on the jigging rod ( i think they where lakers ). Rain started coming down pretty good so whe pulled out. Had about anywhere from 5''-7'' of good solid ice right too the break. Lots of water on top though. Also quite a few fishermen. Bigbear138
-
I wish I had trusted you guys.. I never tried Harris. I didn't think it'd be safe. Wish I had. Drove to Dresden station. Caught one sunny and one little pike. Thank god for portables. Miserable day. Beat the heck out of the couch though.
-
Ok can anyone else confirm this 5-7" of ice on Harris today? Would like to give it shot tomorrow but don't want to die.
-
i can confirm 3-5 of solid black ice. the begining is all old ice and gray about 6 inches. after you make the transition from gray to black its about 5 inches for 50 yards then its begins to get thinner, but you can still walk out till you get to the ice heaves. just look for holes, im sure you will see the mess i made tryin to pin point the perch..just save me a spot, im sure it will be packed tommarow, lol friday there was one guy on the bay, today about 15, makes me wonder about tomm..good luck
LURKERS
-
I wouldn't say there was 3-5" of black ice. I was out this morning, and once you make the transition from gray to black it went to about 2" of solid black ice. Didn't stop me, but I got my limit and peaced out before the 50+ degree weather and strong winds came in.
-
Thanks for the updates guys...stay on top!!
-
lot of crazy guys out there with you? got week off. will be out later this week if it gets cold and relocks. will post.
-
yeah i went out there again today, got there a around 10. with the warmer weather and rain yesterday it ate some of the ice. i believe i heared you say " looks like perch for dinner tonight" as you were walking off. lol so i figured i better hit your holes. just as i was finishing up, and only had a few more to go the ice began to crack and warm weather blew in. needles to say i think harris is going to be unpredictable till it getts colder. there are spots 50 yards off shore that are already down to 2 inches..
Haha yeah, well that was my brother, I was the one slipping around in the red suit because I forgot my cleats. The only reason perch are for dinner for him is because I caught my limit, and then gave him his and I don't eat fish haha. Gotta love the Vex! I fished 3 holes out there today and iced about 75-80.

Fish on VT
I live in Whitehall NY and can assure you that you can catch a fine amount of lakers much closer to home than you can from than the LG village area
-
you can fish the pilot knob/fort ann beach area for lakers and salmon(when it freezes). just drive to the end of pilot knob road, park at the beach and walk out and to the south a little.
-
There's no Lakers in Lk George any more! ;)

The 10 day is looking good, hopefully it holds true.

thanks for rhe forecast. looks good. you guys who were on harris think it kept enough ice for me to stay on top on wed ? if its sketchy i will try again on thursday very early. again friday. giants hat. green flack jaket punishing perch. will have two man fish trap with me unless snow is deep then orange dome tent. just gotta escape family then liberated for rest of week. stop by to say hey.
-
Its tough for me to say how the ice will be. Sunday at about 2 pm the ice was getting spongy and beginning to crack. that's why i left. on Saturday there was at least 4 - 5 inches of black ice, then it rained and became warm. on Sunday the same holes that had 4-5 were already down to 2-3 and that ice also got rained on with 50 degree weather. i also noticed that in a lot of spots on the ice there were like worm holes where something had melted threw. looked like some one threw rock salt all over. the gray ice between the islands was also softening up and down to 2 inches in spots. there was a lot of water on that ice. Its a tough call just be cautious and check the thickness as you go. I'm hoping for a trip Friday.
-
I'd be willing to bet that with the 45mph gusts were going to get tomorrow, that the ice will get ripped out.
-
yeah there is nothing holding it into the bay really. i bet the waves will make a mess.
-
Wondering if anyone will be at harris bay on fri. 1/2/09. Feel safer with other people out there. Thanks

lot of ice on Harris bay yesterday afternoon, but it didn't look very thick. cold weather forecasted for the next several night (20,2,1,4, next 4 nights according to Accuweather) so it looks good. be careful out there though, not sure if I'll be able to get out.
-
I just updated my profile... I live in West Rutland, VT.
I would be traveling over rt 4 into Whitehall & from their it would depend on where I should head to go fishing ;D
I realize the lake is huge... which is why I asked for a little help/direction
Thanks ~ Hunt-n-Fish-VT
im from poultney vermont so were not to far apart i usually go through whithall and over the mountain to huellets landing. u can park at the state access there or there are a few pull-offs along the road. it usually takes a little longer to freeze then the rest of the lake. the north end doesnt seem to produce as many lakers as in the south end but the fish seem to be a bit larger on average. last winter i landed 5 fish over the 15lb mark there last winter and one that was 46 inches. all on a jig stick but u are going to catch fish anywhere u can find structure usually between 50 and 80 feet
-

Wow, Those are some serious lakers for the KING especially a 46"er :tipup: How long were those 15lbers?

I will be there on the 31, 1, and yes on friday! wearing blue Giants hat, green flack jacket. it should be fine by then with these very cold nights but i will post tomorrow if it is broken up. I will be out there friday by 630 am. i am a little paranoid of the impending onslaught of people. it is justa matter of time before the "prime real estate" and eager perch diminish so earlier is alway better ;)
-
Watch that honeycomb effect bird21s (not good).....
yeah i was sure to keep clear from them. just didn't look right.
If anyone makes it out tomm. could you post the conditions. i want to make a trip out friday and possibly thursday...
-
wearing blue Giants hat
BOOO HISSS BOOO !!!
-
Wow, Those are some serious lakers for the KING especially a 46"er :tipup: How long were those 15lbers?
they were 32-35 inches and all from 15 to 18 pounds.......the 46 incher was long a skinny and i managed to squize it through a 6 inch hole so it didnt weigh as much it should have and i didnt have a scale with me but it was definetly over 20lbs
-

Do you have any pictures of these fish? I've heard of some big lakers coming from the king, but I've never heard of that many all year let alone, from one person.
-
On second thought, I've spent the last 5-10 minutes checking out your previous posts, it seems that you've caught some fish, most that seem like the fish of a life time..yet you fail to have a camera with you each time. 18, and 19" perch..but you forgot the camera yet again. I hear about 5 trout every year over the 12lb mark out of lg..for one person to catch 5 over 15, and then a 46"er..thats quite an accomplishment. I'd like to even see pics of the 15lbers you catch.
-
ive got a pic of the 18 lber ill see if i can get it up

(http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj187/bball1377/biglaker3-2.jpg)
these two came out of the same hole about 30 minutes apart top picture is 16lbs and the bottom picture is 18 lbs
-
That dude aint playin'. Nice fish. where were you fishing and what did you catch them on....joking. :laugh:
-
nice lakers :o :o :flex:
-
holy huge :o :bow: nice
-
Damn dude, did you keep that first fish to get mounted (judging by all the blood)? 46" Thats just huge..
-
yea i got that one mounted it wasnt the biggest laker ive caught but it had lots of color and was shaped pretty good so i decided to get it mounted...i would have got the 46 incher mounted but i had just brought that fish to the taxidermist a couple days earlier i guess thats the way it goes though

Thanks for the info iceplank. Always nice to know someone is within ear shot. Im always a little nervos on the early ice up there.
-
those are some of the biggest lakers i have seen in lake george much less in ny
I am so freakin jealous. I have jigged right where you caught that fish many, many times and never caught any over 11lbs. just means i'll be putting even more time in up there.
-
4 good inches at harris. solid. very windy and could not fish. almost took a header when the gusts came up, even at 215 pounds and creapers. could not hold down portable very well as there was no snow on the ice. did not seem bad until i got out a ways then it got pretty bad and was looking like a potential white out on the ice. the four guys that were already out here packed up at 930 , so did i. Did not want to be the only guy out there. I think my sled beat me to the car with the nasty tailwind. minus thirty windchills tomorrow. good day to drink beer and watch football. will be on top early friday!

I remember one time in particular that BigRed and I jigged all day in that area and got skunked. Ahh, that was a great day...

Wow, those are some great lakers! Biggest ice fishing lake trout from LG that I can recall seeing. Congrats!

Great report plank thanks. Read one of your earlier posts about the dates you would be fishing the King and almost went to Harris to fish with you, Strength in numbers for thin ice. Was my first trip out this year stayed local and bumped some pannies (gills, craps, perch) low numbers.

I guess I'll throw out my daily arsehole comment, but the first picture you said that was 16lbs, the photobucke link says 13lb laker whats with that? Again, still beautiful fish, and I'd kill for one like that for the wall! I guess Lance and I are gonna have to go on a mission once the north end freezes for some!
-
that's why it's called the King.

im not sure if that was a typo or if it got saved over another picture, all i kno is that the boga grid said 16lbs and thats what im going by. if you really dont believe me ill be glad to meet up with you when the north end freezes over and catch a couple for you.
-
it was a typo ::)
-
Sounds good to me, I'll be up on the north end quite a bit this year, I already have to many pike and deer on my wall, its time for a laker!

Going to harris tomorrow any info on the ice condition. Thank you
-
it was very noisy on harris today, with the ice cracking. i got skunked for the first time this year, what a way to start 09 lol. but the ice was thicker, about 4-5 inches again.
It's a good thing we've got these crazy dudes to keep us up to date on the borderline areas. I'm guessing bird's been in the drink at least once in his life. Not ripping just poking fun. Thanks for the updates. The early "bird" gets the worm. rrrr perch.

Looks like the main lake skimmed last night.

was out there too...it was weird fishing so close to open, choppy water :pinch: there was a very strong westerly current in the area i fished, so strong in fact that when i used smaller jigs they drifted so far off to the side i had trouble reading it on the Vex. Weird. fish were very inactive, coming excruciatingly slow off the bottom to inspect the offering, and more often than not just swimming away. (maybe the current had something to do with it) I came home with enough keepers for dinner, but it was SLOW.
-
Blah, blah first trip to LG, 1/2 my limit two hr's. They made you work for them, left all the dinks for someone else to catch ;D 3-4" all black

slowwwwwww!left with half pail small perch.8 to 9 inches.mans gotta eat, i guess.

Perch bite was sloooooooooow yesterday. Saw a guy land a med. size laker. Now i gotta go again to try to fill the perch bucket. boo hoo. Good ice though.

That's a beautiful sight!
for now...
Lets keep our fingers crossed this high wind today doesnt peel it back open :unsure:

It's still looking pretty good, covered with snow. I'll bring the venison sausage when the lake is ready!
-
looking a good area to perch fish, what is the bait choice ?
-
for bait i use a small haili jig tipped with spikes. sometimes a swedish pimple. and days like yesterday when fish are finiky i put a tiny moon jig or ice fly a foot above my haili tipped with a spike. 2 pound floro carbon line. many use tips ups but i move around way too much looking for the "devine honeyhole". not many options on lake george yet as most of iit is not safe.YET ::)

You still have the King Quad??
you know it Robb. One day that thing will give up the pull, but until then it still gets my big butt and fish trap around without a hassle. I think it has seen every inch of lake george and wants to see more...soon. Heck it even dragged a 200lb buck and few does out of the woods for me this year ;D

That was one of the factors I considered when I bought my 2008 KQ 750 ;D. Hopefully we'll see you out there soon.

Hello everyone - the laker catching kind of has me intrigued. I am exclusively a walleye fisherman however I'd love to try for a laker. Now that I have an atv I can pretty much go any where there is thick ice. Anyone interested in showing an otherwise expereinced walleye fisherman some of the finer points to catching a laker?
The venison sausage sounds like a good idea.

first year i caught a laker...man that was cool...gonna go up and try more spots when there is more ice on it..keep ya posted

Heck, last year lance's king quad hauled me and my shanty all the way across the lake, and back..I'm surprised he gave me a ride back after the way I schooled them on lakers in my spot :-p

people fishing hulettes today
were they close in or over the deeper water?
I have actual photos of bigred's king quad hauling many men and a long train of heavy sleds for miles across KING through deep snow drifts and blizzards :flex: It was know as the "Togue train" ;D
and a few togue that train did find ;D
-
Wow, I can't believe it anything north of diamond island on the southern end is still open.
-
How do you get to Huletts Bay from the village??? Would like to try it Sat.Where do ya park once there.?? Thank you for any info.
-
you have to take 149 to Ft Anne. Make a left onto rte 4 and head toward whitehall. Continue past Whitehall on 22. This will take you over South Bay which is Lake Champlain and then you continue to head north. You will see a sign for Heullet Landing on the left. Follow that in and there is a parking area right next to the access. It's gotta be 30-45 min from the village.

i heard guys were one hundred yards out from the beach on a very slim amoount of ice. BE CAREFUL
-
If the forecast holds for early next week we should be making some good ice. Now if we can only dodge the snow bullet.
-
Anyone walking on sawmill yet?
-
I talked with a guy that fished sawmill the last three days.
-
Considered starting a new thread and will do so if "encouraged" to. Anyway, i have been fishing near the Village a lot the last few years and seem to always be 20 feet away from the guy that lands the big salmon. Anyway, my uncle owns a house on the Lake, near Elizabeth Island - between Long Island and Dome Island on the East Shore. I have fished near there with no success. Can anyone give me some idea of where near there i may do better? Lakers/salmon would be great, but i will also pursue anything else that swims! I have two snowmobiles and a trailer up there, so i don't mind travelling a bit on the ice.
Should i head toward Dome Island, Long Island? Help a bro out!
Thanks all.

Can someone tell me how far from the village Vet's Park is??
-
vets park is about 11 miles from the Village, just on the north end of Bolton. FYI, the southern basin has skimmed over and hopefully will begin to make some ice. It's not safe now so don't even think about going out on it but it's skimmed so it's a start.

Thanks for the info. I can't wait to try the park out. Have only fished harris bay. Need a change of senery.

Can anyone verify that someone went through? And where?

I was up there today 3-4 inches just past the island.

Be careful out there fellas, the lake froze patchy this year..if you insist on going out there do us all a favor and check the ice as you go!
-
i bought an inflatable life vest this year. It gives me a sense of security. plus ice picks around my neck. Never went through & hope i never do. Always respect thin ice.
