MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
Looks like another cold night tonight.I have plans on trying paradox in the morning tomorrow. Any current updates from today or yesterday?I will report what I find tomorrow.
Paradox had 12”-13” of ice on lake. Edges were sketchy as stated above. Got on and off with a plank fairly easily though. Couldve done it without a plank-just have to pick and choose each step a little carefully.Fishing wasn’t great, but not as bad as it could be...they seemed to bite when they wanted to and shut off randomlyDon’t know how it’ll hold up going forward, a couple good cold nights coming up but also 60* Friday...
What are the odds Schroon is fishable by Christmas?Forecast doesn’t look great. I’m going with 25%
0% water temps still a few degrees below 50.
Lg has been more fun. Imagine looking for lakers and finding an absolute pile of these.
Hoping to make a run up there between Xmas and NYE. Schroon seems unlikely to be ready so eyeing Paradox lake. Anyone willing to share general tips? Where to park/access? Are there really sufficient numbers of rainbow and lake trout to bother targeting them?
I’ve got a spy in Franklin County and I’m asking him to keep an eye on the ponds up Tupper/Saranac way.
I’ll inquire again. I stopped obsessing when last weekend’s forecast turned to upper 30’s and rain. Simond for sure before Tupper. I think Racquette Pond is an even better bet and there’s a “Sunset Cam” linked from the Adirondack Wild Center site right on it from the ball park/promenade. If you stay at the Sunset Motel you can’t find easier ice access in the whole park IMO. Tip ups for pike. If you’re just desperate to get on the ice, Little Wolf might be a good bet too. I get a lot of hammer handles out of there, decent perch, small walleye (rarely over 18”) but it punches above its weight big time if you get into the smallmouth. I wouldn’t keep anything though. Flip them over and look at the spots on their belly and you’ll see why. Please....anyone who’s got a foot closer to the region and would disagree with the ice prognostication...plea se speak up. I don’t want to lead anyone towards a dangerous situation. I, myself, can’t go exploring this weekend and I wouldn’t ask anyone to do my dirty work for me.
