Great pic and congrats on her 1st King laker!

Jake! How come she always gets a bigger fish...I don't understand that. She must be a little more lucky I guess. How is the fish progressing?

If you're an ice fisherman, most people already consider YOU a redneck...   And anyone who would treat you like that isn't a redneck, they are a jerk.

Also, just like in the rest of life, no need to be afraid to talk to people.   the jerks really are few and far between.  sorry you had to run into people like that.

congrats on your first laker!

So true we are almost all rednecks show some respect and willingness to help were all out there to either get fish or get awat from our wives!

[combsey]

Why are people you don't like rednecks?     Do you even know the term?   Don't like farmers?       Your going to meet rude people on the ice and people that don't like people around.  But there are a lot of us around that will strike up a conversation and try to help.  I have stopped fishing to help out people fishing and try to put them on the fish      And I do ( along with some of my friends) concider myself part redneck.

Rude people, it doesn't matter if they are on ice or land, they are just Rude People. We should live by the Golden Rule and that would help everyone out there and then we would all  just get along. Redneck or not, and yes I probably have some of that in me.

Here's a question for the mods. Is there going to be an IS gathering this year I didn't see it as a topic this year? Last year was at mdb any thoughts or ideas for this year jw?

[uglystickjake]

I'm gonna have to start leaving her home to work on the fish carving ..... Haha ... .... Oh yeah and 31.75 fish looks healthy as heck ... That's a great catch ... Congrats ...

[bluemountainlaker]

combsey your more than part rednek! I met a guy on south bay who try to used  of my holes I drilled for my tip -ups. how lazy can you be that you would use someone elses holes when there 50 feet away! and he was a jerk he told me t f off. so I moved and landed on a big school of crapy so sometimes it dosent pay to crowd people when theres a whole lake with no one on it. you did the right thing and they were just being plain rude to you. keep fishing bud cause youll meet more nice guys than you think! cobseys a perfect example he let me borrow his vex for half a season once. great dude and deff not afraid to spark up o conversation with just about anyone.ol

[Eagle Ed]

Funny thing about South  Bay (Whitehall is my wife's hometown) and some of the people you meet out there.  I had the same experience of drilling holes for jigging last year on a nice warm day.  Two guys came out from their parked cars and started jigging in holes I had just drilled.  I said "I just drilled those holes and the reply came back - You can't use all of them since you are just jigging!".  I decided to move on the other side of Route 22 and when they saw me catching fish over there they came to join me.  They asked "How come you aren't keeping what you catch?".  I replied "I'm a C & R person to which one replied "I don't care what railroad you work for if you catch anymore fish throw them over to us because we eat everything we catch.".  I continued to return what I caught back in the hole and they kept on complaining.  Finally I decided enough was enough and left.  Needless to say "Most of the people I meet fishing are very nice/helpful people and I have many on the IS website to thank for the success I have had fishing.

LOL Whitehall!
Look up Guilder on Wikipedia.  The description matches the people you described from Whitehall.

They seem to be congregated up there.  I think it has to do with eating all the fish in South Bay.

[EasternCentralNY21]

Out all day off pk lots of chasers not a lot of takers had a few bite on the way up but not hard enough to get caught better luck next time..the jealousy is almost overwhelming... Someone get out with me and help me get these fish.. I swear if I tried any harder I would have to crawl off the ice from exhaustion... Are you guys really getting 25 a day ?? That's UNbeliveable... I had like 4 bites all day all in about 80 ft of water and all on the silver pimple.. Buddy came over and let me use his vex we were marking fish all day lots of chasers but I just don't know what's up.. I would have at least liked to hook on even if I lost it on the way in

[combsey]

I got a buddy that would love to meet you with that comment.   And I eat fish out of South Bay.      Ignorance is in the person not where they live.

Wooo!  It's hard enough gettin through work after a three day trout bender and now this.. Ug. I may have to use more PTO. 

[Brower07]

Well I just typed for the last 15 minutes explaining how I caught my first two lakers jigging saturday, but it said someone replied when I was writing and it deleted my novel. Long story short, buddy's father taught me, i caught two 24" and about 29"

I wonder if a ten fish day is even possible without electronics? I had my best trout day ever with 7 iced yesterday at the spot.  Before that I was very happy with a 2-4 fish day.  I also believe there is some inflated numbers especially with sizes.  I guy from work said he got a 8 lber.  It was only 24". Maybe..  Same with bass fishing everybody has caught a five pounder LOL.  Next guy that tells me he caught a five pounder my response will be ya right.  I only trust serious fisherman now.
There was a  supposed 23.5 incher posted here with a pic and I don't buy it for a second.

its the same thing with the perch on the lake.   "i got a limit of 13"ers", and his bucket isn't even full   

its kind of funny though...your talking about inflated numbers, and you don't even use a flasher?   7 without a flasher seems pretty inflated to me...

[JigSchtickGeorge]

Lol I forgot some of these

It's just my preference to not eat fish that are exposed to PCB's.  Don't get me wrong I've eaten plenty of eyes out of there but my wife likes fish too so I'm very careful now with what I serve.  Basically panfish.
It's pretty sad reading the NYS fish advisory.  Women and children advised to eat no ADK fish.

[combsey]

Inflated numbers.    Yup.  Your right that puts your 7 at a true 2 ?     Sorry that you can't get good numbers so that means other people can't.     I have seen first hand Jon ny and icewander hit double digets and I'm feet away with only 2 for the day      Presentation is key   Finding the right water is something to not all of the lake holds good number of fish.     My 27 incher only weighed 6 lbs on my scale

[combsey]

The advisory is for all body of waters in ny all spieces for women under 50 and children

Ahem you taught me how to use my FL-18 Vex on Schroon.  Now I need a lesson on getting 13" perch

Won't say my name but I'm Jimmy's buddy...

[bluemountainlaker]

some people just cant stand being outfished! ive seen combsy pull 18 and I put 17 on the ice 40 feet from eachother. its all about presentation and being in the right spot at the right time. boy that ice is hard! I really need to get a power auger! I was drilling holes for 3 people the other day and I was beat!

[bluemountainlaker]

I fished for years without electronics. you can put up big numbers but it takes a lot of luck and concentration. my best day blind was 8. and that's after some guys felt bad that I hadn't caought a single fish alday and showed me where they where fishing and let me and a buddy use there old holes. if you don't believe guys r putting up double digits then your just ignorant or jelouse!
