Yes, I am! We are from Old Forge and West Pittston and have been in the anthracite coal business for 4 generations! Although I have been up here on Chaumont Bay for about a decade.

No arguments there from me. Strictly head boat reports and chaumont page for me. Just informing you guys. Louis works hard with drone footage over time which can be invaluable safety and access info  about ice formation and potential hazards. Worth a look.

Like someone mentioned Rutt, you can check out a commercial Facebook site without having to be a member.  A lot of businesses forgo a website and simply advertise on Facebook.  I have never signed up and never will, but I do check out a lot of commercial sites.

I know George, but I just won’t do it out of “Principle!” (I’m stubborn that way! 🤨)

Hey fellas,

Just got back from staying with Louis at Chaumont. Fished 3-1/2 days (wed-sat). Took the sled but the ice access wasn’t good for launching so we walked it. Not too bad on glare ice (bring cleats). Ice was pretty patchy looking but only found a few soft spots even though we had mostly mild temps and some rain. Bring the spud!!! Had opportunities to cash in on multiple species, lost a small pike at the hole and my buddy dumped a giant pike that got hooked on the ice. He ended up with a 31” laker instead.  Next day we both hooked a walleye but they shook hooks on us. Friday was dead. Sat we rose a few walleye but they wouldn't commit. I ended up with my own 31” laker and we called it a trip. Had a few whitefish and perch as well but we are typically not trying to catch those here. This is a trophy fishery and its all about getting one world class fish. It can be disappointing if you dont have that mindset, which is why i state that here for newbies to Chaumont. You can catch plenty of perch with small lures but the biggest walleye we hooked was following a perch school, so keep that in mind. Opportunity cost is real and perch are plentiful in tons of locations that dont have monster fish.  Main tackle takeaways are bring a stout rod equipped with at least 15# braid/10# fluoro leader, if you use swivels dont run a long leader (ask me how i know), reel down and set HARD after bite, and get the fish to the hole ASAP. If you are new to the fishery i would strongly encourage a guided trip to learn the ins and outs, and potential hazards. Louis and his guys are top notch and will give you everything you need to know to land a trophy. Thanks for everything Louis, looking forward to the next one buddy!
