I've had them cough up sculpin a few times, usually ice fishing. One day by Paulist Fathers we had a couple lakers spit out well over a dozen little ones. But we never saw one on the north basin though and most of our fish have been caught there.
hey baitbox? 11 lakers through one hole! what type of jig setup were you using.
Grubber to bad you can't get a serious answer. All the guy asked was what kind of set up he was using and everyone think's that's a wrong question. Nice guys make him feel at home.
Well, was it any good? For perch, that is.
A jig pole, line, lure. For all we know bait box sent him a detailed pm. Multiple lakers come from many set ups. This thread has 100 pages of info that I'm confident a kid could comprehend what works. Read back especially if a guy specifically tells you the info is here. Not only does the entire site hold the answers but this thread in its self, could sell as a lake George lake trout jigging manual. It's an open book test yet some get discouraged that they are asked to spend time looking through this site for the answer. Thing is grubber understands I bet, it's the ones that don't get the desired conclusion that chime in, usually to whine about not getting spoon fed.. I did 25 one hole same area as bait box. 12 on a rainbow buckshot. I'm not saying what the others came on. Why? So they get to look at something different that works. And to ensure the lurkers don't rush out and buy them out. I don't work for a bait shop, no need to advertise hot lures.
Oh the dramas. Love it. You going this weekend andrew?
No. I have been home all week with a bug that has had me laying on the couch, puking my brains out with uncontrollable shakes, sweats and sore muscles. Just starting to recover now but in 3 days the most I could hold down was a bowl of soup. Going to wait until next weekend to get back out. I just got a new fish finder too, so no more broken transducer that was "brand new".I do want to get back out with you guys for real next time tho. We kind of ventured off, looking for deeper water in hopes of fishing blind to find a bite. I am anxious to see if Pilots knob locks up this week.
No. I have been home all week with a bug
The 90'-110' vast featureless flats like the lake has from the base of the drop off at million dollar beach, past Pfathers up to hearthstone and on have plenty of fish, but they ROAM. ALOT. The action out there can be killer, but you have to find the fish. Its not like other parts of the lake where you can go back to one general area and kill them every time. You need to cover big chunks of water to find the fish. I usually end up drilling 15-20+ holes when I fish those areas. Look for multiple fish. I don't usually fish a hole for more than 10 minutes unless I'm seeing 2-3 fish at a time or the single fish are aggressive, striking fish. And If you find a school of smelt, alot of times its going to be game on.
Same bug I had man bad stuff. Get well bud. Lots of time left.
Sucks dude. Everyone has been getting it. Seems like its hitting the 20-45 age bracket the worst for some reason. I was glued to IS and FB and all the other sites when I was down for about 10 days.
true story, I have never stepped foot on lake george but I have followed this thread and read every post from the time it started. all the info is in here.. Crap I could probably go down there and jig some up.. but I have to much fun slammin them on tip-ups up here..
10 days?!? man thats rough!
yeah...it seriously was. Had to see all the texts from my friends as they caught 10 freakin' million trout on the king there before I could even get out. Patience was a virtue though. We hit the lake hard last weekend, and I felt great.
Oh on another note, I finally ran into and got to say hello to bigredonice for a bit this past weekend. I felt in the presence of greatness! Shook his hand, haven't washed it since!
to be fair, we only caught like 9,999,999 trout. No need to exaggerate
If you intend to release the laker, try removing hook while fish is still in hole. I changed out most of my treble hooks to single hooks on my jigs and you can pop the hook out quickly with a pair of pliers or forceps. A friend of mine is really good at doing this and he shamed me into doing it. Never had to touch the fish and keeps you hands a lot warmer and drier. Give it a try. Takes a little practice.
No matter what though, its tough to avoid the stink of lakers on your bibs after a long weekend of catching.
