What are some decent spots to park on the south end of the lake to access?

Wally’s

Vandinburg beach Wally’s bar, parking lot,, 
State boat launch Broadalbin.

Just curious does anyone even bother jigging out there. Went off broadalbin boat launch and had tip ups and my girlfriend got a super nice pike. But I’m planning on going next weekend to try for a 40 incher, but how can I pass time we didn’t mark a thing all day

Definitely can jig the walleye but should focus on walleye if your gunna do that and set pike tipups while walleye fishing

I suppose I will try again we didn’t mark a thing all day when we went out so hope it will be a little more eventful while waiting the the pike

Fished of Beacon yesterday, great ice slow action. Where to you park to fish Edinburg area?

Take the North Shore Rd. north, to the Town of Day Launch. With the poor amount of snow that we have gotten, you should have no problem getting in there and park. For reference, you are a little over 3 miles from the Batchlorville Bridge.

Is there parking available at sport Island pub to fish?
Has anyone been fishing up that way?

Thanks in advance,

Jeremy

[Petercos22]

Yes Jeremy there is parking right near where you get on the ice

Here’s a couple from this past weekend , all on dead bait

[Raquettedacker]

Nice👍👍👍

[hunts2long]

There have been some nice ones caught and released this year....h2l

[iceman260]

Those are some nice pike Deadlake.

Anyone have any ice conditions updates?  Might have to dust off the fly rod as I'm guessing the water level is way up and the shorelines crap.

Dead bait at the dead lake, beautiful fish bud!

[Goose97]

As far as an ice report,we have been fishing from the mayfield spillway all the way out to beacon and Wally’s, 10 inches of good ice everywhere, with a couple ice heaves to contend with. The shorelines aren’t bad down here yet.

[fishyfishes]

Has anyone fished out of town of day?

[Petercos22]

Where are some good places to set up for pike?

[hunts2long]

I see the Food-N-Fuel contest has been cancelled...h2l

[Petercos22]

Slow start with the weather this year. Please see my entry above and let me know of good pike locations.

[Petercos22]

Say goodbye to any safe ice again after these next few days

If the ice is leaving I reckon you don't need to bother people for their favorite fishing spots

As he asked for other people’s pike spots earlier in the thread LOL!

[hunts2long]

With the lake being as high as it is, the pike could be just about any where. If I were fishing I would be setting up over a "hump" that now has water on top. Most years they are out of the water at this time of the season. Peter I think you may know of a spot like that close to where you fish on this end of the lake. Don't wait too long the lake will be dropping.....h2l

Please post exact coordinates. 

[hunts2long]

I don't have the "exact" coordinate's and I would hate to send you in the wrong direction but right now there is about 10 feet of water on top of the hump and weeds from last year....h2l

He was joking lol but yes black river is gunna drop the lake 10 feet almost they announced yesterday just in time for the warm front and to ruin everyone’s safe ice!

[hunts2long]

They are going to have to take the lake down before Spring rains or snow melt. If they don't there may be some, not so good, issues up-stream....h2l

They usually do it earlier tho if I recall correctly?

[hunts2long]
