LAKE GEORGE BS THREAD

[Jake1]

my phone just went crazy with squall alerts and they we not kidding gusts had to be over 50mph. felt like we went through a tornado. these pics right before we got crushed

[Raquettedacker]

Cool...

[DerekF_17]

Don’t go through there. There’s bubblers on the town docks that weaken the ice. If you walk near there, you will go through. If you want to get to Bolton Bay or Huddle Bay, go through Bixby Road. It’s just a little bit south of it. Be careful.

Thanks. Went out of Vets today and almost ended up in Oz. Will try Bixby tomorrow

[rbud3]

Yo......OZ, what the heck happened?

How was the walk out of vets. Wheelers still getting out of the bay ok?

[DerekF_17]

Wind got insane around noon.
The shore wasn’t great. I imagine machines could get through but definitely jagged and some open water

[pixleyken]

Any luck getting to Long Island from Hearthstone or is it not the year for it

[DerekF_17]

I caught a crayfish today in Bolton. He was determined to not give up my bait

We fished that general area w quads mon and tues w no issues. Not sure if anything changed since but had good ice. Always use your own discretion. Bottom half of hearthstone rd was iced up. We parked up top.

[pixleyken]

sounds good, thanks for the info

Probably just about the same size as a typical LG Perch too.

Unlike the brant crappies landed in the 2003 snow squall blitz of february 14th.  Those were larger than hubcaps.

Anyone ever catch a laker with copepods? On laker I caught over the weekend was loaded with them.

Quite often

[markduffy13]

I didn’t see a lost and found board, so I’m posting here.  Lost my chisel.  Brand new Eskimo ch12 64 inch.  Lost at Bixby.

Once i trip i feel like ill see a fish with some copepods on them. Pretty common to see i feel like

[lowaccord66]

Yes all the time with the copepods.

Access at Vet's is almost gone.  There's a barrier across the path to the lake with a sign that says "NO MOTORIZED VEHICLES" and something about towing.  People are just ignoring and driving around it.  The 4 wheelers have broken through the ice immediately next to shore.  Happens every year. Hopefully we get a good a freeze to build up the ice bridge again.

was there today didn't see sign. saw half dozen wheelers. walk out no sweat coming in I got wet feet not sure how the wheelers will get off.

Fished PK today. Lake was pretty empty, not sure why? Few large ridges on the ride north. Make sure you spud before crossing. Have been fortunate to get some frigid temps after the snow, but still can be treacherous. About 4-6” of powder I would say. Gorgeous day but fishing was sluggish. Couple trout. Rose a bunch but they would not chase. Responded better to bait falling more than rising but still would not bite on fall. Few we got were aggressive chasers. Headed to narrows tomorrow to try some new grounds. Stay safe, catch em up.

[Hardwaterhungry]

Fished the north end yesterday with similar results.  The bite was on fire before 8am.  I caught 3 in a hurry, but after that it shut down with fewer marks and then few of them chasing.  Agree that it was a beautiful day out there - about as good as it gets!

[adk iceman]

Anybody pull any of those elusive LG crappie through the ice yet this year??

[theTUGistheDRUG]

Sunday fished narrows. Wind was brutal and made moving a chore. Managed 1. Monday went south of pk and had 9 between three of us by 11. Had to head home from there and now I am in in Texas for work.

Been real fun LG. See ya open water.

Go to the king and chase ghosts or head a little further north to Brant and slay slab crappies....
..tough choice. 

[iceman260]

Fished vets today 25 perch one laker and this salmon.

Is the shoreline access holding up?

[iceman260]

Is the shoreline access holding up?

Yes it is as long as they leave the bubbler off.

[Jake1]

went to vets today no issues getting on or off. 5 cars in the lot . left by noon it was terrible wind and no perch bigger than 5" for us. just enough snow to make walking a pain. well over a foot of ice

[jlkachina]

Are you still able to get a 4 wheeler onto the ice at Vets Park???
