Adirondack Fishing (Fulton Chain) 7th and 8th Lake??? Anyon

[scramp]

I can't find any useful information on fishing the Fulton Chain, up in the Adirondack Mountains. Heading up to 7th/8th Lake this Friday for 5 days and really want to give it a go. I know the species include: SM Bass, Trout, and Salmon. The lakes are somewhat deep and I know from others a little challenging.

Anyone got any advice on either lake from any vacation trips? I would SO APPRECIATE it.

We are so lucky for this site, for this area.

My nephew who lives north of Rome has fished and camped at 8th lake.....He said there are some quality lakers in the lake....There also is a state boat launch

I paddled through both lakes on a canoe trip last month. Both were pretty big by adirondack standards. We didn't fish 7th at all but did a little on 8th at the south shore and caught a few little smallies. Best bait I found to work in all the lakes on the trip was a little rapala. They both seemed like great lakes to fish and you should have no problems with bass but I don't know about lakers. If you have downriggers, probably just find the deepest water and troll the bottom. Good luck!

THANK YOU to both of you. I leave tomorrow, so wondering if anyone else has any advice.

So Corey, I assume with a little rapala you're talking shallow water casting, correct?

Thanks guys!!

Yes sir, any rocky area seemed to be productive.
