That’s kind of a cool tournament and would draw a variety of anglers

Wow.... sounds like fun

We all should be thinking about fishing this weekend...winter is just to long. Open on otsego is the place to be, smallmouth are chewing now. Hope to see a nice turnout.

Hit it various times thru day , they would stop id let it rest and go back. was there from 7 30 am to 415. Was slow in the morning. Bite really turned on about 1 to 2. We had 2 bass boats out there , I seen one other must have been you, seen I assume you, by the island at one point I just stayed away till you left it. Was triton trailer in parking lot when we got there. Did ya wreck them? Only had about 11 pounds at noon and never Culled up after 2. That 1 to 2 bite though was good, seemed like bigger fish moved in in the afternoon.

1st place 16.46, 2nd was 13.23, 3rd was around 10 pds. Fish were biting for those that found um. Water was 49 degrees at take off got up to 52-53. 8 boats showed with great weather.

[LittleIke]

Island had a few on the south tip...see um down there but couldn't get them to bite. Left and found some good ones not to far away.

throwin the A rig?

[LittleIke]

Just don't have luck with it on that lake...but I can say this, if your not throwing it..your getting beat by it.

Hows the Launch on Otsego?

[Alumicraft145]

Crappy parking. Gotta unhook your trailer. Free from Nov 1st- may 1st. The rest of year you pay, along with a vigorous cavity search.

[ECobb91]

Alumicraft hit the nail on the head. Parking sucks, ramp sucks, they check your boat like if you were fishing lake George (just without the boat wash) and Cooperstown locals are known for being snobby to outsiders so you got that to deal with too.

Haha sounds fantastic!! Everything I have heard

Stick with the Adirondacks

absolutely haha the Adk lakes are so much better. Better atmosphere and less pressure. Might not find the size like Otsego but never had a bad day up there

[Alumicraft145]

Right now my plans are all for the Hudson in the spring for catfish.
