Round Lake
« on: Jan 22, 2015, 10:00 PM »
I'm going to Round Lake in Saratoga County for my first time tomorrow (1/23/15).  Does anyon have any tips or pointers?  My dad and I can't agree on what spot to try on the lake.

Did you happen to notice if the livery was open for parking or is it a roadside only deal?

you can't get on Lake Lonely that way, the ice on the creek is never safe - too much current



FYI - bass season is wide open, you just need to C&R

Nice fish man.
The angle of the dangle is directly proportionate to the heat of the beat.

Awesome bass! The fact that she is against your body and looks that big says it all. It's hard to judge pics sometimes. Great catch!

x2.  I don't always agree with ssmokinss and may give him hard time but he is right when he said some guys over estimate weight w fish, especially bass. Not a lot of guys catch 5-6lb bass enough and may have hard time estimating once they get over that 5lb mark.  Years back  the 1st time I saw a 5lb bass I thought it was like 9lbs. They we weighed it. It happens. Not saying there is no chance of that bass being 7-8lbs but seems it doesn't have the girth or characteristics that a 8lb bass would have. It is bad angle though. Nice fish none the less. Good catch!

I have a picture I took in November of a 5.0lb bass next to a 7lb 4oz bass. I will post it later for comparison. I will say the 7lb dwarfs a 5lber. It's a awakening photo of actual bass size for people who are just in aware of how big a 7lber actually is.
