I love using tip ups as well! It's the excitement of the unknown what's on the end of your line! My heart always pounds when I get a flag especially if it's in pike water or on a dead Ciscoe set up on bottom in 100 FOW! In recent seasons I've been using Auto Fishermen in lieu of tip ups for the deep sets. The frozen fingers appreciate not having to wind up wet line in cold windy conditions! MK
I recently gained an access to the extreme northern part of the lake around mossy point. I have never fished up there so I was hoping to gain a little insight on the area. I mostly target perch and occasionally lakers. Please PM me with any info you care to divulge. Thanks
Took a gamble and booked an ice fishing trip up there for the last weekend in January a few months ago. Can't wait to get away and relax. Used to fish the lake a lot during the winter when I was a kid. Starting to get nervous but looking at the forecast for this week I am trying to convince myself that there will be at least some place to fish when I go up there. Wondering if any locals could share their 2 cents on what may or may not be by the end of the month?Thanks!
Just a thought, you might think about looking at other lakes in the area, just in case. Brant, Glenn, Luzerne and even Sacandaga Resivoir aren't very far away and most are locked up already.
So do you regulars on LG think that there is not a chance there is ice enough for laker depths by mid next week? Seems like a lot of you are saying end of month is more likely.
Not likely at all. Would love it if there was.
x2 but i highly doubt it.Ever since i have started paying attention it seems like we need a night with no wind and 10 below to lock up the big water .... hopefully i'm wrong
How about Harris Bay by the 13-15th? Going to get really cold for a few days this weekend. (Image removed from quote.)
Any updates on the king with this cold blast?
