LAKE GEORGE BS THREAD

[JAGER61]

Just got off the phone with the town of Bolton.   According to Ron Conover, Bolton town supervisor, that only applies to summer time.   We had a good conversation.   He did say that he is concerned about how some people are cutting around the play area and through the main part of the lawn when it gets warm, tearing up the grass.   As long as we stay on the path all the way down the lake, we are good to go with machines once the ice gets thick enough.   As we were speaking, he sent one of his guys to take the sign down.   

Thank you for that piece of great news Red! You just made everyone's day!

For those heading out, take it easy and be smart.  I don't know why, but there's "snow" on the ice.  I'm guessing from the steam rising, then freezing and falling as snow?  Never seen that happen before.  You won't be able to read the new black ice like usual and see any transition lines.  Still wet spots on the south basin, one big one just north of paulist fathers.  Woke up this morning thinking I'd be on it Friday but I'll let bigred lead the way and follow his tracks Monday instead.

Hey, does anyone know if there are lake trout over in Huddle Bay ive only perch fished over there.

You get lakers all over the lake. Literally.
You won't see the big numbers of trout as you do in some of the deep water, but it's worthy to fish for them in the bays too.
I've seen plenty of big trout come out of some of those bays.

Another question, any idea where to find crappies in Lake George.

[JigSchtickGeorge]

The crappies can only be found after you catch a golden lake trout

[adktony]

I have to beg to differ I still can't catch me a crappie out of lg
Jon I was thinking the same thing. Drove up to fab after work and every step I took cracked on the 1.5 2 in I spudded through... guess I have to loose a few lbs now

I need to lose more than a few.    I did see a pic further north, that didn't have the "snow" on it.  I may have to do that instead.

[step2jimi]

guys im having a hard time finding the web cam of mdb that was listed. anyone still have the link or know where to find. I know some guys were out today just curious if you can look back at it and see how far out they made it?

[adkRoy]

Its on the R & C thread

[step2jimi]

haha duuh thanks roy

[JigSchtickGeorge]

I know crappies are in the south end of LG in spring time, I'm guessing if guys find them they are not telling, ESPECIALLY in a thread with over 100,000 views.

does anyone know if huddle bay is completely locked up? I thought it was, but my friend, whose family owns chic's marina sent me this picture this afternoon... and I looked at the algonquin camera this AM and that "wet" spot looked like black ice, but I dont know...she said this was open water.

[bird21s]

Honestly I don't know for sure but black ice tends to look just like open water. I wouldn't imagine it's open considering all the rest of the bigger spots that are froze. Odd it doesn't have snow cover though.

Huddle just set up last night.  Not more than 1" on it.

[Barebow]

I was sent a picture of a guy on Huddle today with an auger, he told my friend who owns a local motel there is 3 inches on Huddle late this afternoon..just not sure where the pic was taken on the bay though...Barebow

yeah I figured that...It should have 5" by sunday tho given tonight's temperature, and friday nights temps. I would assume anyways?

[blt]

South of Hiawatha is what has been frozen.  Sweet Briar and Leontine is what just froze last evening.

beautiful

[Eaglecrg]

With the cold temps, I would think you would see steam rising off if it were water and not ice. 

[SSmokinn SS]

its ice for sure. You can see it clear as day today through the algonquin live cam cause its straight out.
