Yeah saw a video on the Schroon Lake Fb page about it. Something about a propane tank. Gave the boys a chance to take their 8 wheeler out there. Didn't sound like a big deal. Saw a comment on there from some "snowflake" about " Risk men’s lives for that, insane!" Always amazes me, no matter what activity we outdoorsmen and women do there are people out there that would stop it, if they could.

Well my thermal couple broke and I decided to tape the pilot valve closed. As ive seen other guys do it to their old heater buddys. I believe my regulator from High/medium/low froze and let out an excess amount of propane. I ordered a new regulator and thermal couple to replace the old ones. I think im just going to upgrade to the newest heater buddy and have this as a backup. The only reason I like using these old style ones is so I can cook on the ice.

Anywho if anyone wants Hibachi come stop by my shanty sometime! LOL

Drove around the lake today. Some guys fishing north of Eagle Pt, center. Everything I saw looked locked solid.

Thanks for the report Tony, thinking of making my way up Friday.

Mikey Ice · « **Reply #1479 on:** Jan 01, 2018, 04:33 PM »

My son and I got out this weekend we fished the north end
Saturday we landed 6 lakers
3 jigging and 3 on tip ups
On Sunday we only jigged from 7-11 and landed 4 lakers between us with quite a few missed hits
Nothing big for us the lakers ranged from 14-21 inches all were released unharmed to fight another day
We had a solid 6-8 inches of ice on maybe 2inches of snow we had no problem with the Quad
It won't be long now with these temps that we'll be driving our trucks out there
Good start to the new year 😎😎😎

What kind of heater did you have? A mister buddy or the sunflower type. I have had to do the same with one of those sunflower type but never any problems with my buddy

monkeyyboness · « **Reply #1481 on:** Jan 05, 2018, 03:01 PM »

I will be up in and have time to hit the lake Sunday never fished it before was thinking of trying jigging for lakers if if anyone can point me in the right directions and what type of jigs would be a big help and would be very much appreciated not looking for secret spots of nothing like that just general information thank you for any help

Loudmouth879 · « **Reply #1482 on:** Jan 05, 2018, 04:26 PM »

Mikey Ice · « **Reply #1483 on:** Jan 05, 2018, 04:33 PM »

You'll be able to drive your truck out by next weekend for sure if not already

Go off town boat launch, about 1/3 out, start there. Head north or south till you find them. White tubes are good, white Swedish pimple, rattle spoons perch colors are my fav.

Drove around the south end today. Up as far as Blue Sky. Too cold at -12 before the windchill for outside fun today. I wasn't dressed for it. But next weekend looks balmy!

Adkmountainman · « **Reply #1486 on:** Jan 07, 2018, 11:28 AM »

Looking to put my hard shack out soon........anyone have an ice thickness on northern end. I intend on drilling on my way out just to be safe. Just don't wanna wast a trip if their isn't much ice.

Mikey Ice · « **Reply #1487 on:** Jan 07, 2018, 12:29 PM »

Had my 4x4 truck out this am
We'll over 10 plus
So I'd say it's safe for your shack

Thank you Mikey ice

Heading up this weekend and was wondering how the ice is holding up off of the town boat launch? Any info would be greatly appreciated. I’m coming from 2hrs away and don’t want to be bummed out if I get up there and there isn’t safe ice to fish. Haven’t been out yet this year and can’t wait to be standing on some ice!!!!

SchrnLker · « **Reply #1490 on:** Jan 12, 2018, 01:46 PM »

10-18" ice as of yesterday off launch. Ice isn't going anywhere.

Thanks a lot. Hopefully I won’t be going home empty handed.

Be very very very careful. I went in last year right after one of these rain events at schroon. Got there in the am. Water was up a foot and a half in the morning. Took a solid 30 mins to find a place to get on...well 7 hours later the water had risen significantly and I broke through trying to get off. I personally wouldnt fish schroon until a couple days after the rain. I should have noticed the water being lower in the holes which indicates the ice sheet is floating...

I noticed that today on LG and that probably doesn't have nearly as much water flowing into it today as schroon does.

I dont have any reasonable expectation that the edges will be in good shape tomorrow to get on.

biggmike · « **Reply #1495 on:** Jan 12, 2018, 06:24 PM »

Hopefully going to finnally get there Sunday looking for the Lakers on the jigging rod

Walkin624 · « **Reply #1496 on:** Jan 13, 2018, 11:48 AM »

Sitting off of the boat launch right now. Been out since 830 am with not one flag. Anybody else having the same luck as me?

Where I am is fine. It’s about 12” thick. The edge this morning in the first spot I tried was a little sketchy but I just walked 20’ to the left and was fine.
