I think there is only 20 inches of ice left in upstate ny

Champlain, ny or vt

Bad reply, sorry. I guess first day after ice out is more appropriate.

I'll fish hard water for small mouths...

The focus on cost of living has effected replies to the topic. As I see it, my opinion on just fishing would be a state where multi species can be targeted. I live in ny and accessing Lake George and Champlain within an hours drive is the best. The cost of being an outdoorsman is unrelenting, but will not interfere with enjoying the beauty of the area I live in. I rarely think about taxes whilst reeling in a slounch. The government will get their percentage, just add it to the unit cost of fish caught.

x2 Maybe you can print them off?

I like suggestion #2. Add a couple of feet to a 3xd sounds good.

Love Lunkerville...Thanks Mike.

The best day smallie fishing is ANY day smallie fishing!!

Lets add Berkley Chigger Craw.

7 foot, usually no heavier than medium action.

An unweighted fluke will slow your presentation enough to be effective in water less than 50 degrees.

Keitech shad impact on dropshot, or scrounger.

I was recently made aware of the Reefmaster software. Anybody use it? I am thinking about adding it to a Lowrance elite 5.

Carolina rigged tube also an option.

I like the use of a jig for the weight...

Keitech shad impact, Strike King 3xd or 5xd, Rapala xrap and xrap shad, Zoom finesse worm, drop shotted.

Do you need a cell tower signal,or 3g/4g, or does the app operate off the gps signal like my lowrance chart?

Any body try the i pad with the navionics gold app installed?

As if the fish factory needs to be better, gobies have been confirmed.

They are sitting in front of the fireplace. with their longjohns on.

I fish Lake George in NY primarily for smallmouths. It is a gin clear lake and come around July, the fish start to move to 45 - 55 fow. I have found that the fish are very sensitive to any weather front that moves through. Most of the time, a front will negatively impact the fishing. When the bite slows, I know I need to adapt. Usually, I will size down the bait, and make sure the color is "natural"(green pumpkin anything). I have been considering painting the weight black or green, to reduce shine, or using a glass bead on the rig. I use 6lb line and Gulp scent products. Any ideas towards fine tuning?
