So this was my first fishing outing on Lake George this year. Make sure you check out the water temperature tab. I was targeting Smallmouth Bass and Lake Trout. I took me about an hour and half to come across a school of Smallies. I found them after I moved from the Western side of the lake to complete opposite side on the East in the Northern Basin above The Narrows. The smaller fish 12″-15″ inches were up close to the shore line. The water is crystal clear on Lake George, so you can just throw a lure up against a rock faced shore line, and watch it drop on top of submerged rock ledge. Then pull the lure over the submerged edge. Not even ten seconds later you will get a bite. I knew to slowly move away from the shoreline to find a rapid drop from 20 feet into 40ish feet of water. That’s where the big ones where located. The picture above was not the biggest Smallmouth to hit. I sadly lost a massive one that I would put in the low 20″ range. I was focused more on boat control since the wind kicked up some. It crushed my lure, and I had performed weak hook set. It torpedoed to the surface and threw my jig :-(.
Make sure you check out the water temperature tab, I have a water temps for the full water column.
