MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
Looking for any free advice anyone can offer. I have a ten year old son who found his passion for cast fishing 4 or 5 years ago. Because of that, 3 or so years ago we decided to make it a four season hobby. Thus, we tried our luck ice fishing Schroon with little to know luck. Lets just say the little luck was because of the wind. Last year we started to get serious about jigging and did break down and buy a sonar machine. So by the end of the season we did wind up landing two small lakers. We have a camp near Schroon, so it is our go to location. Before my son gets anymore discouraged, I am looking for any advice on what to invest in for jigging lakers or perch. Last year, the two we landed were on a white 1/8 oz jigging head and 3" Gulp Smelt. May of just been luck, because we are not getting squat this year. Marking something down there. Just cant get anything to bite. Any advice on what to try or an improved technique would be much appreciated.
Always stayed at the leaf also. Not familiar with how that works. Good, bad or indifferent ? Do you really need to do research and recommendation from actual live people or is the network pretty accurate ?
How’s ice looking on schroon? I fish out the town of Adirondack if that helps
narrows and north end have 9-10 guys just flying over that big section of open water we had couple weeks ago between narrows and south basin with no care in world
Thanks. Since its spring like and things are shot on my lake. Figured I'd cut some free roadside wood. 4 loads today. Next weekend I'm just gonna truck on u to shroom lake. I always do a vacation presidents week just for shroom and lake George so thanks for the info.
Really slow few days on the north end but stuck my PB laker off the island yesterday. 27" to the tip of the tail. Watched it on the sonar come in behind a school of smelt and hammered my lure. 25ft down over 80 fow, white rattle bait on a trout rod with 5lb braid
How many inches of ice did you have on the south end? Wanted to bring my sled up this week out of the south end, thanks
Anybody know ice thickness in middle of Lake, between Clarks Island and Grove Point ?
