Sacandaga Lake Ice Fishing

Anyone ever fished this lake through the ice? I talked with a gentlemen yhere this evening he said theres about 2 1/2 inches of ice and the walleye fishing is good on that lake. If anyone could let me know of a good ice fishing lake I would appreciate it.

Friends I work with live off of fishhose road they did great with the walleyes last year first and last ice.

O if your not talking about the great sacandaga i have no idea
 

Hi Yank:

Nice spending some time with you on Round Lake today.  If you go over  Route 29 toward  Broadalbin you will  come to a turnoff for  Route  30A  where you would normally turn left to go to Amsterdam.  Instead  turn right and be  prepared to turn left and follow Route 30A until you pass Route 349 and on the right you will see a sign going to Mayfield.  Follow that road until you come to a bridge with a falls on the right and a lake on the left.  The lake on the left is Mayfield Lake and has some large pike.  To the right is the channel that leads to great Sagandaga Lake by the marina.
Hard to find good access to Great Sacandaga without knowing someone on the lake or walking a long way from parking on Route 30 North heading toward Northville.
I still think you would have a better chance of catching a large pike on Saratoga Lake or Lake Lonely.  I have even caught pike up to 38" long at Spier Falls NYS Boat Launch through the ice.

Fish House rd is indeed on Great Sacandaga Lake. I hear the section  out from Wally's is good for pike.  rt 30 to Franks bait shop he'll give you directions.

thanks for Sacandaga info guys... MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL

I just went down to the lake ( Great Sacandaga ) to check the ice and seen where a shanty went through off Paradise Point. The back end went through and a half dozen guys there trying to get it back up. That says it all.

The bite was good on the lake last night. With the exception of a few snow machines, we had it all to ourselves.

Colddddddddddddddd weather on the way. It will freeze the shoreline up so we can get back at it. Hope this new storm takes it easy on us.

Good plan Ed, would like to have you come along. Just before the warm up I was doing well. One night they ran me out of bait. Lets see what the new storm brings. Anytime you want to come up I will show you where to access the lake, even if I can't make it on that day. I live just about on the lake.

Dakota:

Thanks for the reply and I look forward to hearing from you.

Thursday or Friday would be good for me.  Tell me when/where to meet you and I will be there.  Would just like to find a place on Sacandaga where I can get some eyes.  Haven't had any luck on Saratoga or Lake Lonely.  Let me know what I should bring, as I already have a sled, 10" Master Strike Power Auger and all the other necessary equipment.  Will also pick up some bait @ Saratoga Bait & Archery Shop on the way - just let me know what you would like in the way of bait.
Look forward to fishing with you and anyone else that would like to join us.

All set and looking forward to seeing you at Stewarts in Mayfield at 9am.
We had quite a bit of snow tonight in Wilton and flurries are predicted for the rest of the week.
If anyone else wants to join us - see you at Stewarts Friday.  I'll be driving a gold Dodge Stratus with sled in the back seat.
