Any Black Lake advice??


Recommended Posts

Whats up boys? Haven't been here in quite a while.Too much workin and not enough fishin!!! frown.gif

Me and the little Lady DID decide however to close down the shop and take a much needed vacation for a week... wink.gif

I've always wanted to fish Black Lake and thats where we're headed,I always figured I'd hit it in the spring but We'll be there the last week in July going into august,(A bit more enjoyable time to go for woman folk).

Just hoping To maybe spend a little less time putting the search on for my targetted species (Walters and Crappolas),A week goes by mighty quick and with my luck I'll finally find what I'm looking for the day before we leave smirk.gif

Thought just MAYBE some of you fine gents might have some advice to share on where to find theese fish in the HEAT of summer,awfull lot of delicious lookin' structure on that lake, just tryin' to narrow it down..

THANX.

John - I have only ice fished it for craps, Mile Arm Bay between 22' and 25' of water. I think there maybe a Black Lake board you may be able to get some information on it, google Black Lake, NY. Nice to se ya poking around in here.

John I have fished rollaway bay late spring before coming out of rollaway to the left there is Drury point. There is a nice drop off there we used fatheads drifting and small microtubes(white)doubled on one line I hope this helps.

    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
    • The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
    • It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
    • We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity. 
    • I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
