Port Henry - Nov 8

[ChessieMan]

Before I regale everyone with today's escapade, I have to confess to a compromise of the "Frost-Biter's Code" - I fished Lake George yesterday - after 5 less than stimulating trips to Fishville - with the exception of Don's salmon last Saturday, I yielded to temptation, spent $40 for a LG registration - I picked up Don at 5:30 Sat AM and said - I got Plan A, B and C - Plan A is Fishville, Plan B is Whalon's to Essex and Plan C is LG - needless to say we were at the Roger's Rock launch by 7:15 - in summary - Should have gone with Plan A - 5 hours and not a single release.

Not taking kindly to another shut-out, I woke at 4:30 this morning and, having left the boat attached to the truck - I was off in a FLASH to PH - started off Potash Pt on the hard bottom - 5 minutes - Pow! Laker #1 - already better than yesterday, 10 minutes - Pow, POW a DOUBLE! and it went like that until 1 PM when I finished the day on another DOUBLE!

Definite pattern - black/purple HB and Sun Rise Speedi - 15-20' down over 45-80 FoW - speed was critical - every bite was 2.6-2.9 knots - ended the day 18 for 22 - all lakers - but who's complaining - they have fins, gills and tug!

These guys are in the brine now and will be in the smoker tomorrow

Awsome ed. Keep chasing and keep some Lakers every trip they need thinning. Did you hit my humps. Beautiful weather were having when are you coming back up

Hey Matt - Yeah, seems to be a lot of lakers around - did my share - 3 are heading to the smoker this morning - the smaller one (16"-20") actually taste pretty good - the bigger one 24+" aren't worth the wood chips!

Weather is the determining factor and right now, I don't see me being back up until Friday.

you probably already know this but just in case.

You can purchase a one day Lake George boat registration for $12 or a week for $20.
