LAKE GEORGE BS THREAD

[fishyfishes]

accuweather and weather.com say only WSW and W winds all day for LG village and Bolton Landing. The MDB area and Harris Bay ice could be pretty safe from wind I think.

All the way up to Monday. Hopefully in the next few nights it makes some good ice.

Some idiot is out there off MDB in a Jon boat breaking up the ice trying to fish open water. 

Good way to make friends!

How many others' keep refreshing this page hoping to see a post of more ice than we think? 
I'm driving myself bonkers in this office today.

[basshunter12748]

Yep... refreshing this page for the 5th time today... and I should be training

Ever see my post count....bonkers in the office is my life...I'd hate it if it wasn't so lucrative.  I have a goal of buying that house next to vets and demolishing it....

Maybe you should start a go fund me page!!

Oh boy...don't tease me!

Too bad someone couldn't start a law suit against that guy. That ice eater doesn't protect anything. He doesn't have a dock and I'm pretty sure the water doesn't come anywhere near his sea wall.

Hopefully someday Maureen Ferris will sell the property - at least thats the name for ownership on the tax documents.

[jeffro9023]

thats rediculous

Ridiculous too!

I'm told someone did and won 5-6k when their family dog died in open water created by his bubbler.  Not sure how accurate that is...

Two questions. Is there any ice at Hearthstone? And has anyone noticed if the gate is opened?

No, I'm not goofy enough to risk walking on the ice if there is any. I'd like to throw the row boat and the electric motor in the back of the truck and go out for a couple hours. The salmon trolling must be amazing right now. There are other places on the east side I could access easier, but i'd like to use the shore as a wind break to make it easier, and more importantly, safer.

Go back one page and read post # 6982.

[Wind Flag]

I see it now. I kinda just skimmed through the posts earlier when I was at the office and didn't catch it.

Anyone know about the gate?

[fishjerk47]

Gate was open today.

[ship of fools]

Gate was closed last Saturday

[mealworm]

Gate was open yesterday too

Always makes me nervous on the 1st weekend of some ice and out of towers try to walk or skate on it down at MDB.

We've got all kind's of local crazies chomping at the bit to get on with such a late start.
Combine that with a pile of out of towners up here for the winter carnival.
I seriously hope rescue teams are loaded and ready to rip before 7 am Saturday. I've got a bad feeling about the weekend.
I hate to be the dude to say it out loud. This is a reality.

In today's world it would probably be better to request an environmental impact statement on ice eaters in general. No one knows what pumping millions of gallons of warmer bottom water to the colder surface does to the ecosystem.  I always find it ironic that they are so worried about invasive species and they put mats down that kill everything and 50 yards away they have large underwater fans pulling the water from the bottom and spreading it all over the lake.

There's a big section of open water from the jacka$$ in the Jon boat. Unless it gets real cold it'll be pretty obvious the ice isn't safe

Sorry that was me. I was just trying to catch some perch to sell.

jacka$$ in a Jon boat?? oh man..

[Spoondangler]

If you can break the ice with any efficiency/speed, it's not very safe though right? I've broke through a hundred yards or so of 2 inch ice to get to open water and it was much harder then I thought. When it's gonna freeze, some dude in a John boat is not gonna stop it

[kingfshr16]

They were throwing a big anchor to break the ice and pulling themselves forward. Granted the ice wasn't very thick but that doesn't help.

[bigfish1212]

Yeah that sounds stupid and like a lot of work, but not going to be the difference between fishing or not unless they plan on doing it every day for the next week.

[Adkrs]

Was probably the guy with the bubbler stepping his game up to keep you off george in the winter
