Nice lakers...gotta love those pressure ridges. Being that I am still a padawan on the ice I had no idea that with in the span of a few hours one of those ridges can change drastically ??? Last weekend I had one expand about 2 feet on me :-\
-
Man you guys get a lot of lakers out of there eh? Damn! Where is that lake? It's going on my life's to-do list for sure! That many lakers in one day! Wow!

PGKris - if you knew how many lakers can be caught jigging in one day by one person on lake george, you would already be here. ;)
-
Yeah that was a "slow day" ;D
-
I see all these pictures of these lakers from lake George.... where is it? what state? looks like some insane fishing there, deep water?

AINT THAT THE TRUTH BUDDY ;)

Lake George is the most beautiful lake in the world, not kidding either.
It is in Northern New York, right in the middle of the Adirondack Mountains. It is a great fishery, salmon, lakers, pike, bass, perch, and panfish are all really common. It is really diverse, going from 20 foot weedbeds to 200 foot trenches and back again. It is a glacial lake, very clear ( you can see over 35 feet up in Hague) and it is one of the greatest tourist regions in the NorthEast. On a good day a we've got over a dozen legal sized lakers in just a few hours, it's really amazing. ;D

Nice fish.... ;)

and that is without a fishfinder!!

Yeah, ha, I can only imagine with the Vex!
-
Nice Fish Guys. that Pressure Ridge is kinda sketchy :-\lol

You have no idea and your life would never be the same. ;D

I have a couple of Labrador Retrievers that can find fish as good as any Vex. All you have to do is drill a hole and they will bark if they detect fish..... one bark per fish.One hell of a breed, you can teach them to do almost anything. Here's a couple of young ones in training.

I don't know how big this one was, 24" or so...

Even though your lakers do behave oddly they are some good fish. Thanks for posting!
-
Here's a 24' one from a certain spot, the only one I've ever kept, he swallowed the hook bad. Caught on a 10" pike shiner... :o

man those are some great pics :tipup: gotta love the little labs ;D
-
Now I just have to get that 36"er! :o
-
Nice fish, I can go to lg and catch a crap load of lakers, but never any with size. My biggest is a 25"er I got this year. Im gonna get a vex this summer, maby that will help me get that 40 lber :P
-
I'm lucky, I've had two or maybe three lakers under the legal size this year, the rest are all over 23". I hope I'll get a whole bunch more than this with the Vex! :D
-
Pasquatch, just be willing to put in time and you will get that big laker. Here in colorado, 20-40 pounders, in both ruedi and blue mesa, used to be a daily occurence. Since our DOW started encouraging people to keep the big lakers, we don't have as many anymore, and since the drought of the early 2000's concentrated all of our fish, our big laker population is decimated compared to how it used to be. But we still have some really big ones. You gotta come here and experience some 20 pounders! (of course, I don't catch any that big, but my fishing partners do sometimes.)

TFB, Well, this is only the second year where I've been able to put in alot of time on the King, and its hard to do with school, but I've put in atleast 12 trips this year, each one going from 6:30 am till 1 pm, a couple going later. I'll keep putting in the hours, and trout on the ice, but it is just so rare for someone to get lakers over 33" in Lake George, ecspecially in the winter, because there are probably 25% of the fisherman that pound it in the summer. The vex is going to be invaluable, especially with our suspending lakers that take coaxing to bite. I've only got maybe 4 more trips up to the King if the weather warms too much before Easter vacation. Next year, I'll be iceing alot more if the ice comes a little earlier and I'll have the Ultrapack for the whole season. Who knows how long it will take for me to get a 35"+ from the King. Maybe I will have to go to Colorado. ;D

there is not a single doubt in my mind that there are number 35"+ lakers in lake george...just gotta find'em and figure out how to get them to bite.

I have absolutely no doubt, I've seen 15lb+ lakers chasing a 15 incher at first ice, all the way up to the ice, then they dissapeared. We've all seen some of those 20 pounders that get caught every year in the summer. I know where they are, without any doubt I know where they are, I just have to have my jig or bait down there when they want to feed, and how they want it. The vexilar isn't a cure-all, but I know that with that insight into the reactions of these fish, I can get that big guy sooner or later. I am confident by the end of next ice season, one of us LG laker takers on Iceshanty will pull a big big fish through the ice. They're there, we just gotta get them to bite.
-
Does the laker bite in LG pick up right before ice out or does it seem to lag?
-
It gets better again, but not like first ice. the perch fishing is better. This spring, Dad and I will be floating by the feeder creeks casting for salmon early in the morning.
