The big pike are currently eating. . 10 more days until season closes.
Have done that fishing to an excessive point. Ill get back to it after I jig a massive laker. Not until then. Terry you are right I know it but I want the easy catching of LG out there. Too much to ask for?
I’m currently trying to pull a laker from the queen. I’m off of crown island in 65 fow. Haven’t had a mark. I slammed the perch midday on northwest bay. All went back i rarely keep a fish, so don’t think I’m going to keep your babies. Any special jigs I should be using? I’m using keitech swing impacts right now. The only jig I use during summer all over the state.
It happens every year during the doldrums. The second half of the season gets quite a bit more challenging. Change your programs to raise your percentages.
A lot of lakers this time of year are started to cruise right under the ice. They target smelt and ciscoes from above. If you are not marking any fish try up high... there are a ton of lakers in Lake George and they don't disappear.
My 3 biggest LG lakers came on huge icicles (this was 17 years ago) about 20’ down, over 100’ of water.
I think you missed my point smoking ss. I was just wondering if anyone else fished Hague and if they had the same experience. The last time I fished there in 2014 and we did well. I currently do well at other locations.
Gary outdoorsman and Conroy's both used to have nice 3 size icicles many years ago .I haven't seen a good one in a long while to use for Lakers on a tip up.
Time to get relevant. 17 years ago since a big laker? Ouch!
How thick is the ice now guys...I know it varies. Bringing a buddy and his 9 y.o son up to fish this weekend. To say he is excited is an understatement! The little guy couldn't sleep when I showed him some pictures of the lakers, pike, perch and bass we've caught over the years.Might take them to Harris...undecided. I know the ice is generally thicker there. How much ice you guys seeing? Thanks for any help you can provide.
My first laker through the ice. What a blast that was.
I was on 10-17 inches Friday and Saturday.
Yes... and I have only laker fished 4 times since then . Not really my interest.
Where's the artifacts of those big lakers you caught?
