Hey anybody been fishing lately?? How's the ice been?? Looking forward to derby but will this rain and warm spell ruin contest? Thanks

Adkrs · « **Reply #397 on:** Feb 24, 2016, 04:50 PM »

Im sitting on the ice right now. Anybody have a boat to come get me?

lots of water on the ice from this rain. Still plenty of ice though. 11" where i am. White on top, and if this water freezes there will be another 2-3" of white

Thanks again !!

How are the edges........this weather won't melt 11 inches......just might eat the edges.

EatenByLimestone · « **Reply #400 on:** Feb 24, 2016, 07:21 PM »

Friday I is showing a low of 8. There's still hope that there will be ice for tourney weekend.

Adkrs · « **Reply #401 on:** Feb 24, 2016, 07:40 PM »

Edges were fine at the narrows. Tried getting on champ today and the edges were gone, so schroon it was. Trying for pike now. Missed the hookset on my one flag. Next time....

I'm interested to hear the weather up there today. It poured like crazy down here to the point I got a wet basement.

OneidaFox · « **Reply #404 on:** Feb 25, 2016, 06:59 AM »

Anyone know how the ice is holding up?

Adipose hunter · « **Reply #405 on:** Feb 25, 2016, 07:23 AM »

Anybody been catching any salmon on schroon? I'm 27 hours and counting trying to get one on the ice this year. I'm not giving up

SchrnLker · « **Reply #406 on:** Feb 25, 2016, 09:54 AM »

Surprising number of guys out there today, with wheelers. Large areas of water on top, edges good, but wet. Lake should come up over night, as Schroon River, and the tribs are ripping today. Temps currently in the mid forties, but will drop later today. Low tonight 12*, high Fri 19*, low Fri night 1*. Should be fine.

Adipose hunter · « **Reply #407 on:** Feb 25, 2016, 10:31 AM »

Good to know. I'll be heading to the narrows Sunday am

Adkrs · « **Reply #408 on:** Feb 26, 2016, 10:14 AM »

Gonna shoot out on paradox in the morning to try for some pike. Access is at the campground correct?

Well back to schroon it is. Was looking for somewhere new but i suppose ol' faithful will have to do

mealworm · « **Reply #411 on:** Feb 26, 2016, 01:25 PM »

Sux!!! starting to feel like spring can't get here soon enough

SchrnLker · « **Reply #412 on:** Feb 26, 2016, 03:35 PM »

Schroon has also risen dramatically, ice has pulled away from shoreline. Some spots worse than others. In town at the launch to the right is shot for now, til water goes down, to the left is ok. If in doubt, bring a plank.

MJB518 · « **Reply #413 on:** Feb 26, 2016, 06:57 PM »

Any idea how the access is to the narrows? Gonna try getting on somewhere in the morning. Anybody wanna partner up and do some jigging? I'd rather not fish alone with these conditions.

Adkrs will be fishing the Narrows tomorrow. Lake came up so edges are a little questionable, at least til it comes back down. Some spots you can walk right on, others a plank would be helpful.

Was thinking of trying the narrows tomorrow. Second thoughts now.

MJB518 · « **Reply #416 on:** Feb 26, 2016, 07:34 PM »

I'll be there around 6ish. I have waders, rope, and an 8 ft plank. I'll find a way on somehow.

Adkrs · « **Reply #417 on:** Feb 26, 2016, 07:42 PM »

Ill be there. Red eskimo. Gotta dry that sucker out from wednesday.

The edges are not so bad that you can't get on, just got to look around. Once you're on there's 15" good ice.

Thanks, worth a drive over to see I guess 😊
