Hey Big Jim: Thanks for the detailed and informative posts! Ever get the scoop on using sleds out of Glimmerglass? I sent the NYS Park Authority and email today posing the question but so far no reply. How much snow cover is on the lake right now? Thanks- Mike
Mike: I didn't get there today, dang work got in my way until 5pm! I did see a guy and his dog out fishing just north of 5 Mile Point this morning around 10am. Had tip ups set in a line out in 50-60 FOW. Nobody was out at 3 Mile Point at that time. I hope to get out off of Glimmerglass in the morning. I will stop in the park office and check on the snowmobile situation, and post later tomorrow.Stay safe out there!BIGJim223
Bigjim,Before I say this I want you to know that I am glad to see some people on here try to help everyone else out. I think it is great.
I can't believe the Debbie downers haven't started harassing ou about posting information on here,
Can't wit to get out there myself! My jig pole has been feeling neglected
"quote" I can't believe the Debbie downers haven't started harassing you about posting information on here,Let's see here.....I gave info on ice thickness and warned it was scary. 9.2 miles of lake, 1 mile wide, I checked 2 places that have access. I hope I didn't give away anyone's secret spot! Some of my best fish are caught in the middle of Glimmerglass's West Parking Lot! If your good you won't even have to get out of your ride.......Next.... I gave requested info on sled/ATV access in Glimmerglass State Park. Anyone could pick up a phone and call the park for the same inf. Here's the # (607) 547-8662 I just happen to live next door. So much for that state secret! It's out! Oh yeah, don't forget that I was asked how much snow was on the lake and what the temperature was.... big deal!Anyone want to know where they keep all the big Lakers and browns in Otsego? HINT! Not in the West Parking Lot! How about the price of gas at the local stations? I have all the top secret 411! Just ask........I must have been mistaken when I thought this site was all about SHARING information. Some history: I have been fishing (ICE and liquid) for give or take 52 years, 47 of them within 7 miles of Glimmerglass SP, well before Glimmerglass was even proposed. Owned my first boat on Otsego when I was 13 years old (13th birthday present), and my father had a boat on the lake well before I was born, and up to the day he passed on. So pi$$ on "The Debbie Downers" if I gave to much info! Hate to give away any info on "their" lake.To all that would like some honest answers to their questions on Otsego, I will gladly answer them to the best of my ability. Just ask!BIGJim223
HOW THICK IS THE ICE ON 3 MILE POINT ]
were could i find some lake trout on the lake and big perch
BigJim, I have followed your posts and can tell you are quite knowledgeable about the lake. Although I don't post much I do spend alot of time on here reading. I was wondering about your impressions for perch on Otsego. I use to run tip ups many years ago on Otsego and had a lot of fun chasing lakers but then the perch bug hit me. I have been hooked ever since. I usually hit Candarago once or twice a year and then make a trip to Chaumont or Sandy Pond. I just thought maybe I should try Otsego for Perch...it is closer for me since I am a local from the Oneonta area....anyway...any comments or thoughts about Perch in Otsego...Thanks.
