Just Got off the ice from there, lost 2 ciscos on the way up and marked probably 6 lakers, only 2 chased it, and the others were hugging the bottom something fierce. got frustrated and went to work... lol!
I agree and know people like that as well. Perchinmybucket I never thought id see the day where the cape cod canal could be full of guys at 2am in the morning. 10 years ago maybe a two dozen of us on any given weeknight. Fast forward to today and because of social media its insanely packed. Some of which is great...the local businesses are happy, people catching are happy. Cars getting broken into more, more violence, more drama and many different types of people from ALL walks of life became aware of the fishing and now partake. Any reasonable person can understand that even natural resources have a limit. In the case of the canal its fishing space and fish. Lake george no different. If the few guys who caught constantly posted publically it would be natural for others to try for salmon when they may have never had the thought. Much like I would have never started fishing LG if I didn't read this thread one day. Any good sportsman should want to foster participation. We need it terribly. However times have changed and being careful about how much limelight we put on a specific area or species is part of being a good sportsman, at least that's how I feel. You take nothing away from the beautiful salmon if you don't name the spot. Its still a beautiful salmon.
Dead on. Accurate. This should be stickied somewhere for everyone to read.
Come on man, you know and I know it's to late. The damage has already been done . Facebook is just another leaky faucet as well. Why do you think oneida is being bombarded and people are getting into bad situations other than sheep following a wolf in disguise
Thanks guys. RE the Cisco's. Of the 17 lakers I landed the other day only 2 chased. The rest did not. Something to think about. If the bait is paving the bottom and staying there why would you expect the lakers to chase a jig away from where the easy meals are hanging? Instead I saw the opposite. A couple of times groups of 5-7 lakers would bomb down from 20 fow to 70 and hammer those ciscos on the bottom! They were coming in on a good angle and using the water column as structure it was really cool to watch.
Yep there are sheep everywhereYou have two choices be a follower your try and find your own fish , Tuna you are correct but Oneida has handled big pressure for years
Nice job SS. I may bring my daughter to LG for the first time Sunday. She said this evening "I dont mind a long car ride dad"She used to call lake trout lakermouths! People who take kids fishing are the coolest and I am definitely biased.
Yeah bring the kids up. Rowan had a blast this week. Out fished me lol. Just remember snacks and drinks
Lol yeah jerky keeps the yapping down. The bathroom situation is little bit tricky with the girls tho.
Do it man !!
You know I was thinking maybe a few exits up and a big hill might be fun for her too. As for the bathroom situation she is fine. We had to get tactical a few times trolling. She loves when I cook hotdogs on the buddy heater.
