Still Fishin'?

Jimmy, I been bumming out having lost most my retirement stash in Bush's strong stable economy.. aside from that, it is icetip freezing out there! My last brown was a hen with eggs , it was grilled but really was kinda mushy for whatever reason.. got some nice eggs should i go to SR ..all depends on the weather and if my friend who says he has off will want to drive. My truck needs all new tires...work if getting tough as a handyman by trade. You might have met me on the nev jimmy if you say you fished that alot in the past. Would like to meet up for ice fishing this season.. today I ordered a replacement throttle control/governor for power auger. Hoping the governor spring comes with it. Anyway, let me know if you remember that  black ranger pu i use to park almost every weekend at a cove on the nev.

I fished Round Lake from shore the other day. Chucked some minnows under bobber out there. Caught 2 perch and a baby pike. Little bit of ice around the edges. This  is the first lake to get safe ice close-by to me. I'm gonna be slammin' Ballston real hard this year.
 
Say hi to Richard Gere for me Jimmy.

Hey Jimmy:

You know me, for well over a month now all I have been doing is sitting in a tree. Fishing has been on the back burner. It's been very tough finding those bucks this year,well the right ones. I'm sick as heck with a head cold but at least I do have fresh venison in the freezer and good management is harvesting doe. yesterday driving out Rt. 145 on the way to Oneonta there was plenty of ponds ICED over and locked in . As long as things hold out it won't be long before we walk on water. today I have some butchering to do then I'm going to play with the shanty ant tip-ups. Tomorrow , back in the hardwoods.
Talk with ya soon and keep us posted on that home water-ice.

Jimmy:
i'll reply here , to many eyes over there (lol)
Lakers & salmon eh ? As you know early ice is always best. I usually fish mid lake area and know that structure best. My friend lives in the Adirondack area (south ,east section) and has a hard sider once there is 8" of good ice. there is an inlet there which he does well on salmon.
I have found Schroon is more a tip-up lake using med suckers , I do have a secret bait this year that I was told drivers Lakers & Salmon wild. If it works out well we will have to keep it to our tight little group (lol)
 
Lake George is the jigging lake for BIG lakers. It's so strange that 1 place does so well on tip-ups and the other on jigging. humm....
It won't be long and honestly I'm looking forward to some panfish out of your little spot, Perch Inc has got me hooked on that sweet meat....
