Anyone tried access off browns?

i have private access just up from browns and went out yesterday from 9 til 7pm. the ice was pretty decent getting out on. spudded out through and the ice was around 6 inches and pretty solid for the first 100 yds out. after that it was fine. ice was anywhere's from 7 to 9 inches. caught 15 perch and two short eye's.

Walleyes in saratoga lake you guys are crazy no such thing

[combsey]

Ya some of you guys talk too much. Any good walleye guy on that lake ain't sharing a lick on here lol.
   
Or about any lake.       

[basshunter12748]

Do you guys think the fishing is rebounding in general on Saratoga lake?   I keep hearing the chem treatment of weeds has stopped although last summer I cant say the weed growth was all that amazing

[gitthegaff]

Are people running 4 wheelers out from Browns Beach?

[beachwoods 16]

That is correct and about time.       Last year was a joke with hundreds of people lining the creek.  Had a talk with a guy who had a triple limit.    Had a 4 and 5 year old with him Saying that they caught thier limits to.     I hope it gets I forced.

There is a big part of the problem, teaching the next generation how to be slobs!

Only way to prove that he caught the fish would be to have the 4 and 5 year old cast a rod to see if they could use it... if they can unfortunately he is within the regs and theres nothing they can really do about it... but its really no different than having 3 friends fish for eyes through the ice and one guy catches 7 and the other guys each catch 4 they still have their limit.... what they should do is drop the limit down to 3 like oneida

[beachwoods 16]

I only fish Toga once a year, but thanks to you guys I am watching the Lake cam a couple times a week!

Any word on shore access? Either Browns or Fitch Rd. Im sure the cold has helped but before my fat A goes out in the morning I figured I would check lol.

[run320083]

Went off of Browns today the shore was fine.

[basshunter12748]

Browns should be fine for walking... Fitch is ok to get on but giant open water spot almost all the way across the lake from outflow from kayadeross.  Some of that open spot may have froze last night so anything without snow on it is a no go.  Pretty much have to hug the eastern bank off fitch or stay shallower.

Any sketch spots off browns I know there was a big ridge before

after the warm up that ridge resided it wasn't there last weekend ice was good 7 inches and it was cold this week so it should have only added to what we already had off of Browns beach

[buz23]

Watch it getting on at Brown's.  Looked like some open water off the "beach" area yesterday.

[Garufi518]

Anyone brave the snow today off browns?! Going to give it a shot early tomorrow if anyone wants to buddy up

[striperhound]

yes tough walking deep snow good perch bite caught a pair of 14 inches today real slobs

[jordanauclaire]

I landed a real slob off browns beech the other day 24 inch 6 lb walleye what a beauty

[Adironzach]

Didn't see anybody else out on the north end yesterday. Had 5-7" in all the holes I drilled. At least 12" of snow on top. Slowest day I've had on toga this season. Hoping today is better.

[basshunter12748]

Any slush out there or still pretty dry?

It was dry on Monday but very slushy in spots now. Expect a good 2-3" of slush on top of the ice. Some places were worse than others but overall be prepared to get wet if you're going to try to head out.

If heading out from finch rd, be careful as you head out towards the middle. it looks like the lakes water level rose since Monday. I had made a snow fort to block the wind Monday and when I returned Tuesday, there was a thin ice layer that had formed all around the fort, looking like it was extending out towards where the open water hole in the middle of the lake is, and there was almost an 1.5" of water between the ice layers. I didn't continue heading out further to test it but I wanted to give everyone a heads up to be extra careful out there.

Not what I wanted to hear.... anyone get out today? Looking for an update on the slush conditions

[Ziehnertfish007]

I'm headed out tommrow morning, will send in a report after

[Ziehnertfish007]

Browns beach has some spots where it's slushy and wet, mostly it's packed down hard snow. Ice is around 8 inches thick. Bite was ok

thanks for the update

[Garufi518]

Wow 8" whoda thunk

[Loudmouth879]

Does anyone know about how many inches are on Saratoga Lake. Also will the upcoming week end weather of 41° weather make the ice unsafe?

look up 3 posts.....

where is the best place to access the lake if you do not live on it.

[basshunter12748]

Browns beach at the southern end of the lake.  Big gravel parking lot.  Good luck!
