When I went up early in the season a guy walked out with 2 trout in his sled. One was a little dark and the other one looked just like Lakers out of lg. Not as green but just as white. When he took the fish up was it dead or alive ? It would be a lot of work to jig up a good fish and transport it alive.
I have no idea if it was dead or alive when weighed in. Clearly I'm not the only 1 to not catch a fish with those colors on Schroon. The guys buddy appears to be questioning/wondering about it also. Congrats to the kid for catching it.
You certainly are not. Also depending on how a fish is handled after being caught it is not uncommon for the colors to wash out. Specifically on the side of the fish laying on the ice or if the fish bleeds out.Great shots RJ.
In the words of Chris carter...."cmon man"Definitely is not the case here.
didnt we go through the same kind of argument last year or the year before last, about the winning pike?
Don’t most tournaments require a live weight in? I don’t fish many but the ones i did fish did. If someone came in with a dead froze fish I wouldn’t think they would allow it to be entered
Just another reason why I don’t fish with tip ups. Lol.
You don't fish with tip ups because you don't want to pick up to weigh in a fish? How many tournaments do you fish?
Does anyone know the current ice conditions for Schroon lake? Want to head up this week if still safe.
I caught these Two fish on the south end on the same day this past january, in fact out of the 8 i landed 3 were light colored like the one pictured.
In exceptional years the lake starts freezing Dec 16-18th, and fishable north end by Christmas. Looking at some long range forecasts I'm seeing cold, but not super cold. So the process up here is to fish the smaller lakes and ponds locally while waiting for Schroon to freeze. Heck, on the way to my hunting spot over a week ago there were guys fishing a pike pond. Those places have been frozen for 3 weeks now.
