We had a great 2 days of fishing. Cabin temps on the 70s, good food and great weather. Sun- We fished barn rock north as barnrock south hasn't produced. We hit a nice pocket of fish out front of grog. We circled the area for a couple hours and managed 5 salmon a couple Lakers early morning. 45 down 50 back on silver and blue blades and swilly blues travelers. That little spoon is still kicking butt. Mon- same setup. We fished split rock south to grog in the south wind with missed fish and false releases. Picked up and moved to vermont side and fish Thompsons before the blow. We caught 4 salmon and few Lakers in the south wind rip. Biggest 22 inches. Good to see the boys out. Finish the year with relax off my starboard. Hope you got em ole boy. Great way to finish the year. On to new friendships and great fishing in 2019. I'd post pics but I cant seem to get it working. Happy new year to all my frostbite friends.

Great to see you guys out there Will. That cabin has great visability and looks like room for 6! It must be 14’ of covered and protected area under that top... we had a fun day, crossing in the dark in the waves we couldn’t see that had to be around 4’ was interesting. The spray was not freezing so I did it, otherwise we would setup in Vt, black ghost was on our tail so confidence was high. We picked away at them, but the biggest one of the day was this huge, 22.5” lamprey. Deano brought it up on the port ball from 40’ down!! Had to pull it off with a wrench.

Fish were all surface to 45’. We got a nice silver in front of Garden after we saw ya on a long lined doger and fly on the surface 200’ back. Blue and silver anything worked for us. (Thanks for the intel Jeremy) A CraZy Ivan hot hooker fired well till Deano busted the hook. A spoon Todd left in the boat 2 weeks ago, blue sheen also fired well...


We stayed another hr after you left really hoping to put my nefew into a 6+ lb fish, it it didn’t pan out. By the time we left, our counter was at 6, only 1 laker... 5 salmon... the longest being the lamprey... so I gues we got 7...

Warning... there was a 10, cedar log floating north on the NY side of the broad lake. It was near the unicorn at 1st light and north of split by noon. It’s headed for willsborrrow. If there is 1 there is more. River flows are high. Be safe....

HERE IS THR A GREAT 2019 on the lake!!!

Fish on.

Great post. The boat has alot of room. I'm surprised I like as much as I do. Floating shanty. blue and silver have been my go to the last month. That's the biggest lamprey I've ever seen. Glad you guys had a good day. The waves were a little more then noaa predicted lol. No worries of overspray on my boat. Lol. I cant wait to get out again. Tight lines and heres to another great year!!!
