Holy crap. Those are VERY VERY nice fish!! Jigging or traps?
Sweet lakers! Congrats! I should've been out there or somewhere myself today but once again put too much faith in the weatherman. Oh well, got some chores for the day in.
just want to say a word about this thread and some other things. I've been reading about Lake road being cut off for access. That really stinks. Think about this, all the guys bragging about the 100's of fish there catching will certainly bring on the scum b--s out of the woodwork looking to invade LG at any cost it takes. TRESSPASSING AND LITTERING ALL OVER THE LAKE. I'm not saying it's there fault for bragging because it's not. If there was a way to keep our mouths shut and not broadcast about how good the fishing is then maybe LG would not get invaded by half the bags as it has now. Perch fishing is the same way. Someone hears that the perch are hitting somewhere and next day you can't get a spot on the ice. I'm one to believe that SILENCE IS GOLDEN. I keep my catch count and size to myself just so i don't let half a million bags know what's going on. I think that if we do less talking about our great days on LG then maybe we will be able to fish there and keep the access that we have for a while longer, before it all goes to ya know what. This therad is the same as the salmon river thread. Once someone knows where the salmon are hitting the next day you can't get a spot to fish. Wouldn't it be nice if we could stop the cahos that has been brought on to the lake. This is just my opinion. Less talk keeps people in the dark and less informed about our great lake, therefor leading to less people raping the King. It's sad but very true that this is only the beginning of the end of free fishing at LG. Soon we will have to PAY to access the lake from ant point. Had to rant.
Fidlerontheice, how much ice where you cutting and how deep could you get on the retreating ice? Heading up that way tomorrow morning any info. would be appreciated.I will be bringing my snowmobile as I have a 3 guy crew with a ton of gear. Targeting pike and lakers. Any recommendations for other spots would be great. I have fished vets mostly and hearthstone,harris and mbd once each. 30-60 FOW would be swell

Im not judging anybody. Im just saying if you don't want access shut down or the lake invaded by the loosers then maybe a little less bragging about how good it is would deter alot of LOOSERS from going there thus increasing our chances of not loosing that.
Kind of odd you were one that pm'd me and asked for info, after I posted some success stories, then never bothered sending a reply of thanks or anything. By the way, you're welcome. Add you to the jealous list. You're talking a lake that's 28,000 acres. There's room for everyone. I'll continue to post about numbers and bust balls of friends. So guess what, it's time for my rant. You really think people who arent familiar with the lake are going to know where these types of accesses are? Or are they going to go to MDB, Hearthstone, Harris, or Pilot Knob, etc? Do you think posting info on the internet is sending people to these private accesses and getting them closed, or is it the guys at a local bait shop sending people to the one that got closed earlier? Guess what, if you don't have written permission from the guy on Lake Road, you too are trespassing and have been. How many people do you think have looked up Lake Road for access recently with the posts about it being shut down? I see you asking all over about ice conditions on George, and reporting ice conditions on Harris and Hearthstone. I see you asking about about the size and number limits on Schroon, after you saw people having success there. If it wasn't for the picture sharing, you wouldn't have been interested. Does that mean next time I pick up garbage from one of these spots, I can blame you? It's simple. Pick up what you see. If you see someone being a slob, have them pick it up. Guns don't kill people, people do. The internet doesn't litter, people do. Ok, my rant is over now.
I don't know about the rest of the people on this forum but I think it would be a pretty boring place without the pictures and discussions on here.Wasn't that the reason for this forum in the first place?Lake George is a spectacular fishery and everyone already knows that.While we are at it why don't we keep all the charter boats and tourists off the lake in the summer too.I don't think that by being mute it is going to solve anything.Don't judge us all by the actions of a few losers.
