Thanks Fish. I guess the smart decision is to give up on next weekend. Hopefully, I can work something out for Feb.
Group of guys ice fishing off the boat launch on Schroon this morning.
Eagle Point launch in the South, or the Schroon Lake beach launch to the North? Hoping to head up there this coming Saturday and do a little investigating.
Going to be a lot of that with people chasing ice reports and not checking before venturing out. Hope they are ok. Dont argo's float?
I fished the north end of Schroon on Saturday. About 4 inches of slush / water on top and 6 - 7 inches of ice.4-5 inches of good ice / about 2 inches of snow ice.Managed 1 small Laker and about a dozen perch.Couldn't believe how deep the perch were!Thanks
Typical reports for this time of year from this guys perspective. Schroon was always a feast or famine fishery. Pressure is way up.
Hot Tuna,I couldn't agree more. I caught 12 perch out of one hole with a tip-up in it.I was getting tired of setting and resetting tip ups for perch in 55 fow, so I tried jigging unsuccessfully no more than 5 feet away.The flag kept going off all day so it kept me busy, and I am definitely not complaining about that.Just thought it was strange.
I disagree with this, ppl aren’t fishing perch here they are fishing lakers. Jigging for lakers will out fish a Tipup and bait 9/10 and I rarely set bait in the water for them certain instances and places maybe yes but normally no don’t drill one hole all day near the fleet go get away from the crowds miles away with a jigging rod the right baits presentation etc and things will start to click
I'll chime in here. Most of the times I've heard of guys catching numbers of Lakers during an outing, they were jigging. I remember an outing at the Narrows with JAGER61 and WEC and a couple other guys we had 25 tipups in, caught 25 Lakers total, only one on tipups. I'm not saying you can't have good days with tipups. Back in the 90's we had a small group fishing a "secret" spot south end, and we caught 78 Lakers that day, maybe 5 or 6 of us. I remember the number because my buddy had his hard shanty down there, and would mark off each fish we caught every outing. That day stood out!!! Thing about jigging, if you have a machine and can be mobile, and know the lake, you increase your odds. I'm not anymore, so I stick with tipups and cooking venison sandwiches in our pop up! A man has to know his limitations!
And this isn’t to gloat everyone has different definitions of a good day 1-3 lakers can be a good day! I don’t want to discourage people more to educate n show what’s actually obtainable
