Help on the sacandaga

[lonewolf1990]

I rented a house next month on north shore road close to Placid pines pub. I was wondering how the fishing is in that area. I'm from mass and never fished out this way but I figured I'd give it a shot.  Hoping to get into some walleye and perch. Thanks for any info

It is probably very good right around where you are. I have not fished that particular spot but you could look on the regular Great Sacandaga Lake postings for more info from those better acquainted. If you just go down to Edinburg and hand  right onto county 113 to Ridge Road and over the Northville Bridge and then take a right left on RTE 30 and then a fairly quick left onto McKinley then quick left on rte 152 you will find Sport Island Pub. I have had luck there. You will see parking below the pub. Go out and bear a little left on the ice back toward the bridge and head to mid channel. Best luck (but not only) right around dawn or dusk. Set your tip up bait about a foot off the bottom and do not be to quick to stick after the flag. All those directions are within a couple of miles of your location, if you look at a map you will see it just on the West arm across from you.

I used to have a camp just north of placid pines on North Shore Rd. Just be careful of ice up that way because there is a current from the river that flows through there. Use a spud and good luck!

I'll definitely be checking as I go. Does it typically freeze up pretty solid.

[Petercos22]

That is why I suggested the West Arm below the Northville Bridge-- I know it is  solid. Go down one more page for the other Sacandaga site.
Plenty of info there.

I've been reading through it today. This place is way bigger than almost everything we have in Massachusetts.

[Petercos22]

The only thing you have close is Quabbin  and we have a ton of that size here in NY

If this helps at all, everywhere we have checked from Edinburg all the way to mayfield has 10 inches or better,of clear black ice.

Thanks for the info I definitely appreciate all the help

Cross the road to the lake, right at Placid Pines. Then walk north, along the shore line. You will quickly come to a little cove. At the point of that cove is a nice walleye spot. It is over a large and long rock pile. Tons of structure that holds fish. Also is a great spot for trolling in open water. Then, both sides of the point, a ways in either direction are good as well.

Is that the point to the north side of the cove?
