I am hitting Lake O this year for some spring action. Really wanted to last year and just didnt make it and what a banner season for browns! I will this year!
I live on the great Sacandaga and have fished it all my life. You are right, it used to be an exceptional walleye lake 30 years ago but now it's marginal. Yes, if you catch 5 walleye if your lucky in one day 3 of them will be 15 " maybe one 17" and the last still under 20". There are big ones in the lake though most of which are caught thru the ice. Same for the northerns. Every winter I catch several 40" plus northerns thru the ice. I have been fishing Sacandaga lake near speculator for walleye. Been doing very well many are over 23" biggest was 29"
I am going to pick up 2 to 4 level wind reels most likely line counters for spring brown fishing. I do not have any reels other than my salmon rods where are 30 class reels and big rods. Anyone recommend a reel class? the 15s or 20's? I would have these setup exclusively for browns
Tell u one thing, I hunt the Adirondacks here and bucks like that are hard to come by, I am very jealous of those western ny and central ny bucks! Of course, the adk bucks tend to outweigh them
I have a Lowrance Elite 7. I installed the Navionics Platinum plus chip and qI love it. been on Lake O with it and my home lake. excellent contours, nav aids etc. I highly recommend it
Well I am glad to hear I wasent alone on thinking the salmon fishing was less than average. I never landed a salmon for the only three days I fished the lake the end of july
I have a leaf river. It takes still shots, multiple shots and video. It's ok, it's not infrared though and it's about 10 years old now so there has been allot more technology in them. My first camera used a 35mm camera in it
Where will people be fishing this coming weekend? Will the salmon be running into the rivers by then or still staged up? Looks like it could be a great weekend if the weather holds and thinking about making the final trip out..4 hour drive.
