Not for us walkers I walked well over a mile to our fishing hole last week and was it ever worth it ..... but i'm not sure if I want to attempt it with a foot of snow.
That snow is a blessing ! My pop up actually was warm this week without the glair ice ! I have kold kutter studs in my tires I was going 40mph no problem in that snow.
Thought the fellas that do all the laker fishing might enjoy this video from Canada. I'm not a laker guy and I still enjoyed it
Yeah I can remember you , that last video was the same day we talked. The ice anchors work really good. I got sick of bending the clam ones and it’s a pain in the butt to install them by hand. I just drill a hole down before you hit water and drop it in and pull up and it grabs the hole. I use an 8 inch auger. To unhook it I just tap on the top with my boot and pull up. I normally drill out the holes before I head out. Only down side is you need like 8 inches for them to work.Thank you. always looking for better and easier ways to hook to the ice. Those gusts that move the walls are not fun when your alone.
Well i take it there fishing it then....
Maybe, or maybe not. If you only live in Queensbury take a ride up and check it out. I did that twice previously and reported it here. Two weeks ago there was still open water just a few hundred yards form the beach. I did hear there were people out near the edge, but I’m not that daring. I was going to go up last Sunday and check again but that 1-3” predicted turned into 11” and I had to plow snow. I’ll try to get up there this weekend for another peek, weather pending, and unless someone beats me to it.
I just talked to DEC fisheries, Hearthstone will be plowed later today. I asked if they could plow out the lower parking lot in addition to the beach so there will be more room to park.Also, they closed the south gate and opened the north one because they have to cut about 60 pines down and don't want people parked in the way. So stay out of that area to the south.
Do you guys catch pike ice fishing in Lake George?
