Lake George Outing 7/31/08

Well I haven't been able to make any reports this summer because unfortunately I haven't been able to get out fishing much at all.  My wife is recovering from a pretty hefty surgery and will be for the next 10-12 weeks.  So although the Snyder's Lake tournament seems right up my alley, I will not be able to attend.  However, you can pretty much count me in on any such "get togethers" in the future.
 
Anyway,  I do have this to report.  My father made it out on Lake George yeasterday and did very well- 8 fish, 2 keepers.  Apparently this fishing was real good, but as seems to be the case all too often this summer, I wasn't there!  Nonetheless, thought it might be useful to some of you.

    All the fish were lakers.  Another monster was supposedly lost at the boat as well.  They were trolling lures using a downrigger.

    I enjoy trolling for landlocks and big trout, I am going to use these small dipsey divers called (Big Jon)  they can be adjusted for both diving and plaining off to the side. I find them to be very useful in getting lures  25 30 even deeper when stop and rowing  in a small boat. I like downriggers but these things are so much easier to manage when carrying tackle through a trail is an issue. When going solo, it usually takes me two trips back and forth from my truck  through a small trail to the rowboat. I use a small school backpack as a fish gear bag. Usually can fit everything I want to bring such as plano boxes for some terminal tackle/ a portable fish/dept finder/a rain jacket etc. two fishing poles / my two titelock clamp on rod holders and a certified seat cushion flotation  which fit in my net. Now I  can carry my net and my two rods  in one hand/  my backpack on , I can  manage a small cooler and velcroed together oars in my other hand. usually thats it unless i'm bringing a bait bucket or nighttime latterns or extra fishing equipment than I got to make an extra trip. I try to keep it as compact and simple when fishing solo.
