Highliner Charter Fishing extends our thoughts to all those who suffered damage or losses in Hurricane Irene. Lake George took quite a lashing, but the good news is the weather has cleared and there is GREAT FISHING AHEAD ON LAKE GEORGE. Highliner Charter Fishing is booking trips for September and October, and we've got some great spots open in coming weeks. The waters are uncrowded and the fish are plentiful - especially lake trout and bass.

We are in the height of the fishing season on Lake George and are bringing in beautiful lake trout every day. In the evenings, the bass fishing is better than ever( catch and release) . Back to the lake trout: check out this beauty from just this morning:

Been off the blog for a while, but fishing has been good so has the weather. That means long days on the water. That's a good thing. July and Aug have been very hot here in the Adirondacks. Great for vacationers. Fishing has also been hot for most of the summer. Of course not every day is a banner day, but we have consistently boated fish every trip. Mainly lake trout and bass. Salmon have been few but the ones we've had have been good ones. Right now you should be looking for trout in the 100 to 150 foot depths. Try the waters around Dome Island. Troll Christmas tree rigs on the bottom with a flat fish or work spoons and needle fish on the suspended fish. This should help you put some fish in the box... Things will really heat up as we head into September. I'll keep you posted. Enjoy some photos from recent trips.
