Has anything closed up on the South end? If not, I'll probably be up off the North end tomorrow. I'd go up tonight, but the thought of trying to warm up a cabin at night doesn't sound fun.

Couldn't agree more Mike, good times!!!

Looks like the south end locked up fresh black ice all the way from the narrows south...what I could see from rt 9

Anyone know how thick the ice is heading out of Fowler Road? Thinking of heading up tomorrow, thanks

SchrnLker · « **Reply #247 on:** Jan 23, 2016, 02:36 PM »

Somebody had a truck out there off north end today. We did measure 9-12" yesterday off the boat launch towards Island.

Heading up to Schroon Monday for my first time there. Probably going out from the beach or Fowlers. Hope to have some luck.

Good luck out there, hopefully hitting that ice next weekend

The lake is singing! Ice will be thicker tomorrow!

EatenByLimestone · « **Reply #252 on:** Jan 24, 2016, 11:31 AM »

I didn't see any, but there were guys off Adirondack this morning. I hope they had better luck than I did.

Schroon is making ice like crazy. North end is safe past the island. Didn't go further than that 8-12" depending qhere ya go. and it's making more. Bring creepers. Barely any snow. Lots of glare ice

Caught my first laker ever.completed one of my goals for this year

EatenByLimestone · « **Reply #254 on:** Jan 24, 2016, 04:11 PM »

I use the same style tip up. One of mine has the brass spool. The others have plastic. It looks like it has a name on it.

Thought I would contribute, 4 guys on Sunday, North End, Targeting perch ended up with 2 Lakers and about 30 perch all thrown back (our shiners could have ate them). Lakers were caught with perch jigs. Maximum depth fished was about 30 feet minimum depth was 5 feet. Ice was 6 to 8 inches consistently. We had an underwater camera and water visibility was very poor maybe 2 to 3 feet if that makes a difference to anyone. Lakers captured on the camera were in depths less than 30 feet believe it or not. Hope this helps-- turned into a beautiful day, very slick out there- but made for an easy drag. Definitely recommend ice cleats or you will be doing the shuffle all day.

Pretty good day of jigging lakers, with a few fat 21-23" ones, all released; tip-ups were slow. Looks like smelt population is doing well, trout were spitting them up.

Congratulations on the laker Adkrs...

Very nice...

Just got a message from the DEC. As soon as they deem the ice safe, they will open the gate at Eagle Point for access.

Don't try to drive down the hill!!!

MikeVT · « **Reply #267 on:** Jan 28, 2016, 08:40 AM »

No doubt, I saw that show a couple of years ago. Luckily there was a very nice fellow with a f350 to haul them out.

Headed up for lakers in the morning, anyone have any suggestions on a spot? Not looking for your secret spots just a place to have some action, many thanks
Kris

Buy some suckers and bring plenty of beer. If you hold your mouth right you should b fine... Fowler road right across from the road, get about 100 yards off shore good jigging water
