My father was a graduate of West Point, class of 1953. He passed away in Nov. of 2020 and the final thing I had to do when settling his affairs was to return his class ring to the academy. Last...

What a strange week I just had near Clayton. First morning out about 15 minutes in to fishing I get a huge hit on a drop shot. I'm thinking it's the small mouth of a lifetime, but when it kept...

Thanks Frank. Yes, we're staying at Mil's again. We've been getting better at catching them each year and have found quite a few good spots between Clayton and Chippewa. The weather and wind...

There's plenty of places to hide from the wind around the islands in Clayton. Since you've never been there, go to the river. It's not as easy as the pros make it look on TV, but you'll figure it...

Thanks AJ. I have plenty of waypoints deep and shallow, looks like I'll go shallow to start. I get 5 days a year up there and try to make the most of it.

Thanks for the replies Big-Bass and AJ. I'm surprised the water temp is that high. Other than a couple of days, it really hasn't been hot. Are they still in shallow or did they move out to deeper...

I'll be up there all next week. Anyone have a recent fishing report for the Clayton area ?

Paradox and Eagle Lake fit what you are looing for. It really depends on where in the Adirondacks you are staying.

I drilled a goose one time. He was in the middle of the fairway, so I figured he was perfectly safe from me hitting him. Boy, was he pissed.

Good job, Dad. He's learning valuable skills. Now when the dealer tells him his car need brakes and it's $500 per axle, he can do it himself and save a bunch of money. The one problem with modding...

My neighbors kid did a build on an Infiniti Q50S. The base motor of the Infiniti is a 3 Liter, twin turbo, v-6. I followed his build because he had to borrow tools from me on occasion. It doesn't...

I was going to school in Boston in '86 and was a huge Mets fan. When they brought Steamer Stanley into pitch, I announced to the room of Red Sox fans that the Mets would win the game. People...

We fished Chippewa Bay on Friday and it was spotty. Caught some in 8 FOW and others at 20 FOW. The bay itself is completely grown in with water depth only around 5 foot or less. Be mindful of...

Thanks for the report. I'm headed to Clayton tomorrow (9/2) for 4 days of fishing. What depth were you finding them at ?

I understand your point, however, our legal system is based on a series of precedents. In the New Mexico case, the driver was twice the legal limit. There are people who can appear sober at that...

I live 30 minutes from Lake George, and sadly agree with this statement. Haven't put my boat on that lake in years. To the OP, you're better off traveling a little bit north and fishing Champlain. ...

I fished there this past Friday (7/16). Water level is lower than normal, but not bad. I was seeing water temps 72 - 75F. Oddly enough, I landed on a wad of small mouth by accident in about 9 FOW...

ECobb91 pretty much just gave you everything you need to know. If you don't care about a fancy room, Mil's Cottages in Clayton is great. He has docks with power if you're leaving the boat in. If...

Too funny. I was there all last week. The bill for the 1000 islands bait store was about $150.

I fished the St. Lawrence all last week. Caught some nice large mouth in Chippewa Bay near the municipal launch. Find the weed line at 6-7 FOW and pitch in. Word of warning, there are some sizable...

I've done this myself, but just remember, you are pot committed once you drive that screwdriver through the filter.. That vehicle is not moving until the filter is off and replaced. Best to try a...

You had trees ? We had to walk 10 miles (uphill both ways) to get the seeds to grow a tree. Then we carved the boat. You guys had it so easy.

This made me laugh. I used to be in a golf league and it amazed me the amount of complaining that went on. Now, I've said a few choice words when I hook one into the woods, but these guys would...

I think you guys had the most in the state. 31 inches at my house. My driveway is 300 feet long and it took the better part of the day to clear it. All that work to reach a road that didn't get...

Iron on patches.... my daughter bought a pair of pre-ripped jeans recently. I told her about patches on jeans growing up and I hated them because the color didn't match. Her only reply was, "You...
