If I'm reading the special regs for Big Pond correctly, bait fish are not allowed? What would you suggest as tip up bait for pike if you can not use bait fish? I have only used shiners and suckers for pike with tip ups.

I would leave the tip-ups at home and jig. The less stuff I carry this early, the better anyway!

North basin

South basin off Adirondack

Same to you Mike, looking good this morning, -9 below and calm, yesterdays skim should have buttoned up. Soon as Schroon is safe maybe we can get Ross to supply the venison for another on ice feast!!!

Soon as you guys are ready to fish I'm ready to make the venison loin steak sandwiches! Hope you and your families have a great Christmas!!!!

Pre Christmas report, Schroon is still sketchy, not enough cold nights lately. South basin, open, Narrows open, mile north of Narrows, mostly open to Witherbys. North basin mostly frozen, open hole behind DeCesares, in front of Kellys Funeral Home. Inch, maybe 2 rest of North Basin. With a couple cold nights we could be fishing off Fowler. I'm thinking after the first of the year. Eagle Lake is fishable, 4-5" last I heard.

Any update on ice thicknesses on Schroon?

SchrnLker · « **Reply #525 on:** Jan 02, 2017, 05:24 PM »

I've been told 4-5" off north end. Snowplowing and holidays have kept me off the ice, so far.

EatenByLimestone · « **Reply #526 on:** Jan 02, 2017, 05:30 PM »

South end is everything from open water to 9+".

Adkrs · « **Reply #527 on:** Jan 02, 2017, 05:31 PM »

North end should be good after this weekend

hey i luv the sign----in that pic---right at the ice it says funeral home

Mikey Ice · « **Reply #529 on:** Jan 02, 2017, 05:50 PM »

Schroon north end off fowler is fine was out Sunday 1-1-2017
Ice was a solid 5 I even had my quad out and there were several snow mobiles out as well
As for the fishing the 4 of us had 11 Lakers 5 on tip ups and 6 on the jig from 16-22inches all caught in 35-65 feet of water, great start to the season

hot tuna · « **Reply #530 on:** Jan 02, 2017, 05:57 PM »

That's a pretty huge swing from when I was there Thursday and Friday. You wouldn't have caught me anywhere on that slush Friday. Glad people got out and stayed on top

BornOutside · « **Reply #531 on:** Jan 04, 2017, 05:11 PM »

Great report mikey, looking to get out this weekend. Good luck

SchrnLker · « **Reply #532 on:** Jan 04, 2017, 08:37 PM »

Guys have been fishing all over the north end, all the way to the island. Some snowmobiles have been out there as well. Lot's of rain last night that knocked down the snow. Water and slush should lock up by the weekend. Also Narrows froze last couple days with no snow on it. IF the wind tonight doesn't break it up Narrows might be fishable this weekend as well.

BornOutside · « **Reply #533 on:** Jan 04, 2017, 08:45 PM »

Thanks for the update tony, chances are we'll be on foot if it's nice smooth ice. Hopefully I have some good news to report back for fish and ice.

step2jimi · « **Reply #534 on:** Jan 05, 2017, 10:43 AM »

Ill be out there on saturday with bornoutside and our crew of guys. Well report back in, Ill probably have a more interesting report though due to the fact that ill catch more fish then he will.

ADKBUCKSHOT · « **Reply #535 on:** Jan 05, 2017, 11:12 AM »

The next four days will be great for making ice!

JneedsNY · « **Reply #536 on:** Jan 05, 2017, 01:37 PM »
