LAKE GEORGE BS THREAD

[bigfish1212]

No Lakers some big bass I caught 3 bass one was probably 4-5#, had to fish through some sunfish too but not as bad as yesterday.

[TC5]

bite was on off of vets the lakers were there in good numbers and they were on the bite for a while.got a bunch through the hole and lost just as many at the hole.the conditions on the lake are the worst i've ever seen.

[ICE WANDERER]

              That area must really be getting hammered w/traffic, there should be good snowmobile paths to follow. Sounds like the fish are in good numbers still.

[TC5]

the walking out there is terrible you brake through in a lot of spots.even tough with snow mobile.

man, the lakers did not want to hit anything today. I was on the ice at PK by 6:30 and got off at 4pm. Early morning I had one chaser, and he never hit it. Stayed in 120ft of water. I have just about had it fishing for lakers.

I also went out Monday for Lakers at daylight and walked off the ice after an hour or two.  The fish just were not active either where I was and I was in about 60-70 fow.  Some days they just aren't that aggressive.  Went out later and the day and pulled some Perch.  In the old days I would have fished ALL day with the hope that they might turn on.  I don't like to walk off, but it felt good not getting suckered.

Last three weeks they havnt turned on until after 10 for me. And I havnt found an aggressive group either. Still getting then to hit just have to fish for them differently. Little tip for those marking fish that won't chase. Pay close attention for a tail slap. Iv hooked up with quite a few fish this year letting my bait fall to the bottom after a wack and just letting it sit on bottom with a little wiggle. Good luck. Ill me making waves Saturday morning.

Just curious. Does anybody know what you can't take smelt out of Lake George?

[Berkley4life]

Common Knowledge, its right in the dec regulations. Use or possesion of smelt prohibited.

I was out Saturday at daylight for lakers with tipups. No flags till 945 last one came at 2. They weren't to active jigging for them though either!

[jlaclair]

was just wondering what size suckers you guys use on your tipups, I dont want to buy to large and dont really want to pay a premium for small ones...thanks

[icedauber]

Try large hunts.  Laker candy

were you at Pilots knob?

atleast you are smart to leave if they aren't hitting. I am young and dumb haha. I have had way to many days where they will turn on for the last 2 hours or so and you make up for a lousy day of fishing, however this year, I have been getting my butt kicked with Hope!

Thinking about going out tomorrow again. Getting ready to go out plowing now and have the day off tomorrow.

Does anyone know of the closest access to Boon Bay would be??. I know you can get on at Cotton Point but was wondering if there is closer access. Thank you.

Hey KB it all depends on where you go out of.i was at vets today took the quad out about 9 inches of snow alot of slush pockets some where 3inches deeps.rough ride to laker grounds.

[ChefMcG]

I've had no luck with small suckers. Med 5-7 inch works best for me. I slit them to slow them down a little

[kb]

Thanks.  I'll be looking to hit up some perch.  Im hoping that the warmer temps will cut some of the snow down with out compromising the ice by the weekend.

[step2jimi]

im walkin out tomorrow no matter what the conditions are. might try a new location tomorrow been fishing the same spot for weeks but it might be a little too far with these conditions. Either way ill be on laker waters tomorrow morning.

[IcefisherSteve]

Slush pockets is understatement lol. We were walking in 6" of water under the snow by the end of the day. We made trails with the snowmobile that turned to streams. horrible idea. Feet were soaked. Bring high rubber boots or waders.

[perchinmybucket]

Went out on monday. Bite was slow but managed 1 26" laker. It hit my one tip up and stole my bait. Was rebaiting with a fresh sucker and my other tip up went off. When i cut him up i found 2 suckers in his belly!

[St Croix17]

Wondering if anyone can let me know if there's access off pilot knob rd? Private road public?

[Fidlerontheice]

Fished off of bixby today 2-6 decent perch bite lost a laker in 28 fow fun day good walking jet sled pulled easy!

[5watchman5]

Here's a blast from the past for Lake George Laker guys.Haven't used photobucket in a while and wanted to refresh.

[ICE WANDERER]

              That is 1 ugly shirt. Love the fish though.

[aj454]

Really   Get rid of the shirt. Keep the fish and enjoy. Nice one.

[JigSchtickGeorge]
