big bay Hudson river

[moshpitbull]

Anyone fish big bay on the Hudson river in the summertime it seems there is hardly any current in there but I'm still a little sketch about it I've heard of people ice fishing it and I know there has to big slime darts in there

[Stuck-on-Seven]

Was wondering the same thing. I couldnt figure out where to access it so i didnt bother goin up. Wouldnt mind tryin it though if its safe ice.

[sparker]

Been fishn a couple of weeks

[sparker]

Not sure, but thats where they are all coming from

[Stuck-on-Seven]

Probly a stupid question but what is hudson pointe? Is it a rd? Easy to find? I know where big bay is and i know where the boat launch is.

[combsey]

many people are getting on at hudson point without problems this year     hudson point is off corinth road in queensbury if you are at exit 18 head towards corith and its maybe 2 miles on your left

Nobody mentioned how long of a walk it is

Nobody mentioned how long of a walk it is

about a 5-10 min walk from hudson pte. development. when the fish are biting well worth the walk. yes it is legal to park there and walk in.

[troutaddict33]

ice is super sketchy there. Will be 6 inches then take 10 steps and you're at 2 inches. I wouldn't waste my time since there's safer ice 10 minutes away where the fishing is 10 times better.

I had a few buddies fish it last weekend and the ice was again 5" here, 3" there and 10" over there. becareful and travel with friends, let your loved ones know where you are fishing and when your coming home incase the bad happens. BTW, they only caught 1 or 2 small pikerals and they didn't want to move around much.

Thanks dude. Now we're gonna have 30000 IS lurkers converging on big bay in the next half hour. Sometimes I feel like...somebodies watching meeeeeee. Kidding dude.

 you may be kidding about this but its the truth! now people will know how to access this little area and will pound it to death and the same people who post about it now will be whining when they cant catch fish there. Some things are better left off the internet.

[beaver1080]

it already gets hit pretty hard. besides i would rather help someone out on here rather than have them access it at a bad spot. i have done it several times and let me tell u that walk is bad enough make a wrong turn and it gets ugly.

[prchslyr]

I was kind of kidding but kind of not. I deleted my posts. We helped out a few of our own IS guys, good enough. We should learn to start pm'ing each other with nitty gritty dirt like that. My bad.

[combsey]

ok the fishing isn't good on big bay this year and the ice is bad    The walk is about 4 miles up hill both ways 

[prchslyr]

Yep. Now your acting like one of the old school IS guys. Good work combsey lmao. All jokes aside. The place isn't any better or any worse than anywhere else.

[gitthegaff]

I can tell you staight up, the ice is always Sketchy there. I have fallen through the ice there. The walk down from Hudson pt. is good going down , but a pain in the a.. going back up. Fishing isn't that great either!
I used to access it a diffrent way, But the landowner said its off limits now. Someone took it upon themselves to cut up his picknick table last year to use as a plank to get out to ice. Now no one can go through his property. If your on hear "Way To Go"  Hope your proud!

[combsey]

if your talking about the group of camps then some people still have access look for a red 4 wheeler then look for a blue shanty hub style   im not saying the ice is great  but what time of the year did you fall through? was it near the bog were you get on? i've been fishing the bay for at least 20 years now and the time i had a problem and fell through was when i was being dumb      and the fishing sucks if you don't know were to go on it           but can be rewarding when you find the right spot

[troutaddict33]

Sure to see 30 people out there next week after that picture

[prchslyr]

31

[troutaddict33]

31

and they can have it!

Why would you want to eat any fish that comes out of the Hudson? 

[moshpitbull]

Didn't mean to open up a can of worms here I just wanted a place to go icefishing where I could have a few beers and walk home just curious if river ice was safe

[troutaddict33]

Why would you want to eat any fish that comes out of the Hudson? 

Because the northern part is just as clean as any other PCB-free water

[prchslyr]

Its all good moshpitbull. It seems like every thread gets its share of razzing. My buddies and I throw shots at each other all day long on the ice. The only difference is. When its online you can't see or hear chuckling.

[combsey]

striaght foward    "if you don't know roughly were to fish  you might have a bad day"       the ice is good as of today  4 to 9 inches and stray away from the bog area

[TheRealFisherman!]

I doo. Fish it every weekend. for suree. been catching notta small ones but nothing to keep. 10 dinks a day. SUCKS!!! Try assembly point maybe heard they were slamming them up their.

[combsey]

Lake George is always better for perch I think everyone on here knows that

[TheRealFisherman!]

Yea my dad went today at lake george and caught about 15 nice ones too.

[TheRealFisherman!]

My dad went to the bay today and didnt catch anything
