I'm taking some time in late June to bass fish Lake George in NY. I'll be fishg on my kayak. I was wondering if anyone out there who has fished this Lake around the same time, and if so any tips or pointers that might help me catchem. Thanks

I’ve fished George a few times, June and July. I remember having a lot of success with the smallmouth around islands. It’s been over a decade ago so I don’t remember which islands, but I think the majority of them should hold smallies, and if there are a bunch of islands grouped together that’ll be money. Poppers, specifically a 2.5” Chug Bug, and 4” wacky senkos were what I was throwing. Lake George has all kinds of structure, drops offs, islands, flats, ledges, rock piles and sand bars. Water is clear, too. Visibility can be 8-10’ or more. 

Here’s a link to a contour map, as you can see it has a ton of structure, and every shoal and sand bar isn’t even on the maps. Shouldn’t have to paddle your kayak very far to find fishy spots.

Also should add, Lake George is smack dab in the middle of vacationland USA, and it is loaded with camps, marinas, and lake houses and during a nice day the lake will be an absolute ZOO with pleasure craft. Luckily it’s a big lake and the north end gets a little quieter, and there are islands, points and coves to hide behind.
