Everytime you sign on here its all about Central NY lakes and ponds...How about a thread for those who fish northern Ny waters. I fish the st. Lawrence, black lake, Butterfield, Cranberry, Lake of the isles, grass lake, and red lake. I look forward to talking with you local anglers more than what is happening in syracuse or buffalo. December 15th last year was my first outing on Black Lake for first ice, lets hope these temperatures drop and we can hit it soon! Tight Lines!
I am pulling this thread back up for the season, its getting to be about that time. I've got a few deer killed and I'm starting to shift gears.Long time no talk for me and a lot of you guys, is ICE DOG 69 still around?? FISHFORPIKE? nypike??
Oh ya! I'm here - skim ice spotted in the bays and coves of Black Lake this AM. Looking forward to another great ice season. Vowing to make it to HP this season.
The NYS Ice Pro-Am is coming to Chaumont Bay and Black Lake this year. Check out the tournament schedule and website for specifics. We're also looking for some high-placing fish to come from our northern anglers in the NYS Winter Classic Tournament! We'd also like to get a weigh-in station for the Winter Classic in far Northern NY - any suggestions??
We've got some skim ice going, too. But we got blasted with the outer reach of that storm and got nearly a foot of snow in Colton. Go just north to Norwood and its a couple inches!!
Man this cold weather is getting me excited. If things keep going this way I'll be on the ice when I come home for Xmas maybe even thanksgiving. Like to fish the at Lawrence again.
Thanksgiving will be pushing it. But Xmas should be good to go if you plan on fishing the same spot as last year.
You had anymore luck during gun season ?
i shot a decent 8 on the 19th. The tips of his main beams were bladed and kind of went out flat like spoons, pretty cool.Kill any big ones down there? That half rack was pretty awesome.
congrats ! I shot a 8 at the end of October with my bow. He been hit by a car was all messed up. If your over my Chateaugay lake around Xmas give me a shout. Go chase some dink perch lol
Well my two older brothers dumb and dumber were on there way down to work in Poughkeepsie area early this morning. Somehow they managed to roll the car, totaled it. One of them managed to make it out with bruises and scrapes, the other broke his neck. Waiting to get an MRI result to see if he needs an operation. Any decent place to eat around Poughkeepsie?
Sunday, 11/23 I traveled from Northville to Tupper Lake and was amazed at how many lakes were ice covered. Every small pond & lake I saw were ice covered. Even Long Lake was mostly iced over. Indian and Blue were not. Not sure I would have ventured out on the ones that were ice covered, but the ice was there. I came back down last night so don't know if they still hold ice or not. I'm sure the warm spell, rain and wind took most of it out. A good cold snap should put it back though.
