Lake George info

North end (north of Hague) wide open as os 3-10, doubt it will lock up this year.

The lake was really high this fall, and is still dropping I believe. There is a good current this year, making the ice thinner or nonexistant in spots. Like the point of Tongue, for example; also people went through the ice yesterday between Speaker Heck and Assembly Point, lots of current there. I also wouldn't go between Fourteen Mile Island and shore.

I don't know if it's current so much as the wind and the warm period we have had prior to the middle of January. The Lake normally does not vary more then a few feet per year and the north end always has a hard time freezing over. There hasn't been any period of time where the wind has not been blowing so I would blame the wind more then any current.

The reason the north end has a hard time freezing is the current, which is strong this year. Which like I said before is resulting in open water in the high current spots like Montcalm Point, the narrows, etc. Machines went through Sunday by Speakerheck, also strong current there. Reminds me of a story told to me by an oldtimer; he took his mother's new '56 T-Bird for a ride on the Lake. It ended up on the bottom off the tip of Assembly Point; it's not very deep there so they hooked a chain to it, cut a long thin whole in the ice and dragged it to shore on a small beach. He claims that after drying out the car was fine, wouldn't happen today with all the electronics in cars.

Last report I got was on Feb 7th saying the North End was still wide open.

Fished Burnie yesterday. 2" of ice. Blairs Bay is all froze but open water at the nose and around the point by the boy scout camp. Few small spots of open water in the bay also. Didnt get out to far. Pressure ridge forming about 300 yds out, didnt look too safe. Nothing but wind flags, need to get out farther. Heard about a 28" laker caught yesterday afternoon in 20' of water.

35 1/2''  Laker  ?!?!?!?! Come on  , give me a story or a pic or something!

I don't know about 35 1/2 " but I talked to a guy in Bobs bait shop that had a picture of a 14 lb laker and I believe he caught it at Hearthstone. I saw the pic and it sure was a nice fish. so if you stop in to see Jackie she might still have the pic.
