Hope everybody had a great Thanksgiving! It won't be long before our lakes and ponds freeze up and we head out onto the ice. Make sure you're ready for winter fishing on Lake George, New York. Where to start?
. Change your tip up lines, put on new hooks, tune up the ATV and get yourself ready for first ice. This is some of the best fishing of the season. Please be careful and make sure the ice is safe before heading out. Start out fishing the North Country ponds first then work your way to the big waters as the season progresses. Dress for the weather. bring the right gear and enjoy your day on the ice.

While many of us are hanging up our fishing equipment and heading into the woods in pursuit of game, some will be taking advantage of the great fishing that occurs before the lakes and ponds freeze up. Salmon and lakers will be moving inshore and up close to the surface ast he waters cool. Use the same tactics I told you about in the spring, and you'll be rewarded with some nice fish. If you'd like to try for something different head down to Saratoga Lake and you can cash in on some good fall walleye fishing. Try using crank baits and large stick baits around the deep water edges of the dying weed beds.
Shad wraps , bombers and jigs will all produce. You can troll or cast to these tasty fish. Try the areas around Chinatown , Snake Hill, and up inside Fish Creek. Put your time in and you'll be enjoying these tasty filets all winter long. Good luck and tight lines.

Great fishing on Lake George, and there's more to come. Still some lakers out there, but as weather cools, the fish will be closer to surface so you'll want to adjust accordingly. For the next few weeks, we'll share some of the "best of " photos from the summer on the lake, then we'll move into some ice fishing tips for those hearty enough to brave the Adirondacks winter at the lake. There are some great days left , so keep fishing!

2011 fishing on Lake George, New York has been awesome. Columbus Day weekend typically marks the wind-down of fishing and the Highliner is off to the marina to be cleaned and stored for the winter. We will be reporting here all winter- the Lake George Fishing Report runs year round- there's plenty of news about fishing equipment, ice fishing and fishing travel , so check back weekly. Meantime, if you own a pleasure boat, take full advantage of the beautiful scenery on Lake George. Autumn along the shores of Lake George makes for magnificent viewing. Enjoy- and send me your photos, happy to post them here.

It's hard to believe the summer is over but the fishing is far from it. September is a great time to be on the water. Not only is the weather good- the crowds are small and the fish are big. The first week of September has lived up to expectations and has produced some of our biggest fish of the year. Take a look for yourself. Check out these fish that range from 10 pounds to 13.5 pounds. If you'd like to tackle one of these behemoths yourself, try trolling spoons or a dodger with a big minnow on it between 110 and 130 feet. You can have one of these too. Book your trip today. Don't miss out.
