LAKE GEORGE BS THREAD

[wiredstone]

   This was the best ice we found today. 3" of black stay off any thing with snow on the black ice 1.5"

Spud spud spud. Scary ice indeed

[hunts2long]

I have to give you credit. You wouldn't want to bring any big fish up on the ice with you....h2l

[hairbone]

Looks great from my arm chair....

[SSmokinn SS]

Yeah.... no thanks.

[wiredstone]

There was about 50 guys out there today, but only about 8 of us went on scary ice. Every other step I took cracked.

Not to start a big debate but, i have to question the wisdom of continuing to walk out on to ice that is cracking at every step! Keep in mind that if you go in, someone has to come and help you.

Agreed Mike. The king is an awesome fishery but taking
That much of a risk not only to yourself but to the ones that have to rescue you is not worth a limit of 8-9 inch perch at least in my book. So many other ponds/lakes with plenty of ice around that you can still catch plenty of perch in and have the peace of mind doing so. Please stay safe out there!!!

That's why I didn't bother...not worth it.

I agree . There was good ice out to about 20' But it was spud and go out to 30. We where trying to get to laker water. not perch.My buddy and I are used to going on skinny black ice. We have Styker suites ,picks throw ropes and spuds. I did not post that to say it was safe ice . 3" of black ice is ok for me but not everyone. I spud twice before I step. With that said be safe out there . MDB only had 1.5" to 2.5" on it Sunday morning.

We had a decent day were we did end up anyway.

It was cracking on the way in . Plus I am 295 lbs plus gear. I stopped when it got iffy on the way out.

Much better than doing that...I have a lot of cutting to do after work.

[fullThrottle]

Maybe that guy will blaze a trail with his John boat again.

[Neil McCauley]

^not funny! 

Some brave soul out on MDB right now



Long range forecast



Maybe the 18th? I am planning on the 25th. If I have to canoe then sobeit !

[lowaccord66]

After seeing how little the ice grew from Saturday am to Sunday am it's going to take a lot more cold than that. 

[prchslyr]

I'll just be glad to get some of the other bays next weekend to spread the crowd out.

I had strangers closing right in on my 12 year old because he lost a nice fish at the hole and yelled about it.
It's perching. No harm in it, but I was a little proud to watch it. 

[JneedsNY]

we need some nights in the low teens and single digits and to not break 32 for at least a week! which usually isnt uncommon for February.
I wouldnt go booking any trips in the next immediate 2 weeks.

[Buckmaster7600]

Good day on the lake today, looking forward to heading out in the morning! Be safe bring a bar!

[tonebea]

[fishyfishes]

I heard about those. A couple of nice ones for sure.

[fishjerk47]

Anybody have any word on Vets. How is the shoreline? I can't get out to check and would like to fish there maybe before the weekend.

Bring your boat 

[lowaccord66]

Bring your boat 

Next thing you know I'll be spudding another old boat path in the ice....

[Buckmaster7600]

I am so ready for the north end to freeze, 2 days and I'm already sick of the south end of the lake.

Wide open up here!   I dont think it's gonna hapen this year.  I dont see any weather coming that's going to lock it up

[SSmokinn SS]

looking at the webcam, Huddle bay is wide open now.

[touge30]

Can i launch the boat from mossy?

[bigredonice]

Can i launch the boat from mossy?

Looks on the satellite from today like its been locked up there for a while.   Ice looks to be covered in snow from rogers rock north.

[Rather-B-Fishin]

Lots of nice water to keep top secret!!

[sameoljets]
