Is anyone up for a gathering on Lake George?

[tankdelivers]

ill be there at 530   the wheeler is a maybe    just going to tuff it out and hope im better in the morning     

oh man,I'm all plugged up and sick as a dog too.  i'm gonna tough it out though. stop being a lil mangina and get out there.

[prchslyr]

Yeah man! That's what we wanna here. This is probably going to be my last hurrah for the king. Then its on to some of the smaller stuff for the next 2 weeks. Get it in while you can. We're going to be blessed with some of the best ice fishing weather we've had all year. Ill be rockin shorts under my snowpants.

[tankdelivers]

I know this sounds retarded.  But lets all try to keep in mind that we are in the wilderness and need to respect the lake buy pickin up all of our trash.  I haven't come across any the few times ive been out, but I once went to a gathering for earth day at crandall park that was left a huge mess and spent the rest of my buzz picking up everyone elses trash. ON EARTH DAY....go figure. just thought I'd throw that out there.  No disrespect to anyone.

[prchslyr]

Did you just post that on an IS thread?
This site is made up of some of the more upstanding outdoorsmen in the woods and on the water. Keeping these places clean is something we pride ourselves in. Even if it means cleaning up after other people.
The area I have been fishing this past week is already clean. I think I've only found a few soda bottles.

[tankdelivers]

like I said, just had to throw it out there

[prchslyr]

Yeah I know man. Once you bring up littering on one of these threads all heck breaks out and the whole thread gets hijacked.

[FishinJenn]

Been hearing bad things, saw a bunch of folks out on the ice today by MDB, but heard DEC was escorting people off the ice...anybody know if thats true? We're looking forward to one more hoo-rah before ice out? Any updates??

[step2jimi]

ok i need to hear some solid word here man. whats the deal is the ice ok. i tore up at turning stone last night and would much rather go back there tomorrow then join the polar bear club. i know its going to be warm but not that warm. if the ice is safe im in if its not ssshhhufffllleee up and deallllll

[prchslyr]

Oh no. Don't tell me that. I will be at 307 at 5 and MDB by 530. I'm going to plan on fishing. 
I'm going to be optimistic and say this is a dirty rumor. They were running quads all over that area just Thursday. That's not intended to discount your source fishingjenn. I just don't want to believe that is true.
 

[troutaddict33]

supposed to get cold tonight in the mid-low teens. Hopefully it firms up for you guys to get out tomorrow. Good Luck, I'll be working 

[uglystickjake]

Im all sunburned up....was out all day  at Harris...with the 4 wheeler....few nice lakers 29 and 27 and a big old fat 31 in pike.....bucket o lake george gold also...my 10 yr old caught the big laker....12 inches of ice very slippery in the am !!

[prchslyr]

After checking the reports and conditions thread, I am confident its fine where we will be. Disregard my previous post if you read it before I get home to delete it.

[prchslyr]

That's awesome uglystick. Its not to often you get to enjoy a sunburn on the ice. Heck yeah! Good to go in the AM.

We'll be eating good, fish or no fish. Hopefully we'll be doing more flag chasin than cookin.
Step2jimi- Do you think my laptop can get a connection on the ice? We could be running $5 sitngo's on Stars and slayin' perch at the same time. Best of both worlds man! That is, until my battery dies while holding rockets.

[step2jimi]

haha it could probibly work and rockets are over rated i lost two hands last night AAs and KKs go figuer. Me and my buddy will be there at 530. he just got a aqua view from a guy he knows so well be playing with that thing too much to play cards anyway. is there any last minut things that are needed we can stop at our 24hr wal mart on the way and pick up anything we need. let me know by 11 i gotta get everything together right now though ill check back in just before i crash for the night,

The last time I was there I was on fire. I had a guy flip a lid on me for sucking out with 99 on a 100 no limit table. He called my raise preflop with 1010 but never once reraised me until after the river came down. But, the fool just called each bet on each street. Of course, I sucked out the set. The idiot FINALLY makes a push on the river. I tell him, "It's not worth it for me to just call here. I might as well just go all in. Dealer, can you stack me up another benji in nickle chips? I'm all in." The dude called before my chips actually made it to the pot lol. I swear it was Emmy worthy. We had both been at the table for a while. Nice lil pot! Who's got a camp table. I've got a decent set of chips. We can play for fatheads lol.
We never thought about some plates and forks. I didn't grab any beverages at work so everyone might want to grab something for the day.

[step2jimi]

ill grab plates and forks on my way. i usualy bring a few bottles of water with me and im good. allthough with the socializing vibe i think a rack is in order for tomorrow. just for the  record here guys, dont take it personal tomorrow if i do more fishing then chatting, i cant stand on ice and not want to pull fish out of it. so ill be trying to catch some fish. but im pumped to meet some new diehards see ya in the morning.

[zdake1]

Macaroni salad on the stove right now! should be decent enough to pretend it's good. (humor me people). I'm down for 5:30 (ish) on the ice. I'm a damn slacker, ended up riding the bike today and didn't get my $#!T together today. Gotta happen early tomorrow. I'll try to hit 307 for my spikes bright and early. Leaving the tip-ups at home. I'll be at stewarts bright and early for drinks and some ships. Any last requests, speak now or forever hold your piece! see y'all tomorrow!

[JJ]

I'll have fixxins for breakfast sammiches and some OJ(no vodka). I won't be there at 5:30 8), sometime after 7am.

Hope I can use someones stove, will have propane and cookware.

[zdake1]

when i said stewarts for ships, i meant chips. you get the idea. I'm tired. Bed time. CaptJJ, let me know if you need my stove, I'll check this before I go and bring it if need be. looking forward to tomorrow!! finally faces to names!

[prchslyr]

We're looking at a pretty good day out there guys! 45 degrees. Lots of sun. Very little wind.
I'm going to have a full size grill on the truck (Small Weber). I'm also going to bring a coleman suitcase stove.
If someone can give me a hand getting the grill out there, we can use the Weber. If it's going to be a big PITA to get out there, we can use the coleman.
The only issue I have ran into is a lack of camera, of course. The celly can snap some good pics though.
For anyone that checks this thread at the last second. Don't forget about our lil idea captJJ and I were pm'ing around. I don't think "He" is going to be showing up but we will make sure he get's it.
Time to slay some fish and have fun!
See you guys on the hardwater!

[uglystickjake]

skipping the bait shop but me and the boy will be at the beach  at 5 30 ....If you see a beat up old 92 f 150 and a zztop looking fella  who looks like hes arriving by valai service ...dont be afraid ..my inside door handle doesnt work...you  prob seen me parked at harris for days...(broke down)..little 125 is coming with us ...definitely a stud..i  mean the tires are  studded...haha ...lets go get em..

[oletimer]

Haven't seen any posting from the ice yet???

[prchslyr]

My bad oletimer. We've got 12" of ice out here. Zero slush. Conditions are beautiful and the quads are all over. There's plenty of good safe fishing to be had in certain spots on the king.

[oletimer]

And the fish???
I saved bait from yesterday, and was contemplating coming down... Just reading the posts and not really being a perch jigging fool, thought maybe I'd go rabbit hunting instead.

[prchslyr]

The fishing is pretty slow to be honest. We've only caught a few perch and a couple pickeral. We're eating better than we're catching but having a good time. These are the best conditions I have fished in all year.

[gitthegaff]

Good to meet you today step2jimi , I was the guy with the yellow Can Am next to ya ! Hope they picked up for you guys!

ill grab plates and forks on my way. i usualy bring a few bottles of water with me and im good. allthough with the socializing vibe i think a rack is in order for tomorrow. just for the  record here guys, dont take it personal tomorrow if i do more fishing then chatting, i cant stand on ice and not want to pull fish out of it. so ill be trying to catch some fish. but im pumped to meet some new diehards see ya in the morning.

[tankdelivers]

hey, i just got home.  the ice sagged a lil bit when i got close to shore, but i think it was just one of the layers saggin.  I still picked up my step just in case. only a few feet of water under me anyway. Carefull pullin that grill off or ya might lose it.

[FishinJenn]

Hope you guys had a great time, sorry we missed it, the boys n me had a few too many last night, and they wussed out on me! Hope you all had fun and got some pics!
