2012 MHF Island Camping Trip to Lake George
I need to get a reasonable head count of how many members are going to make the trip. The number of sites/docks will be set in October. I've already gotten several confirmations, but I will need to know everyone who plans on attending. I plan on reserving the sites for Thursday July 12th through Monday July 15th. I will need to recruit more people to reserve sites, since they are limited to one per person. Wives/girlfriends and kids are welcome. With the amount of interest already I think we'll have to aim to get sites on the larger island. This will also offer some more space so that people with kids or who want to turn in early can have some separation from the main common area.
We will be about three miles from the launch so I also would like to know who plans on bringing a boat and the general size. It will be very helpful to have a few boats transporting people and gear to and from the island. More importantly each site only has a dock for one boat so we need to make sure we have enough docks.
If I could just get a running head count of each member the number in their party and whether or not they are bringing a boat I can get it better organized in advance. I know it's ridiculously far in advance, but it's the only way to ensure I can get it set-up right. If you're not sure who's going to come with you I would round up and just add a "?".
List of attendees counted:
STKA * 19' Cuddy
Bog/MOM * 18'?
Issiah +2 * 18'?
ShipOfFools
Joe Snag ?
Cheeks
Raquettedacker *
Drobs (+1)
eyehi *
Mookie and Mrs.Mookie*
* Confirmed (10/18)
? Uncertain
Everyone that's going to be camping is going to have to PM me first and last name of who's coming so I can preregister and tell you what site # to check in for. I can only list one vehicle per site but I was told we were allowed two, you may have to try to see if they'll let you register the vehicle to the site when you check in. If not I think it's $6 a day to park so it's not that bad anyway.
Directions
Texting your ETA is the best method of communicating since cell service is sketchy on the island.
Day Trippers use this parking spot at the town pier please. There is no overnight parking allowed here though.

Bog & Mom, I have an 18' center console that I can and will bring. If there are too many boat's I can leave it @ home and hitch a ride with some one closer.
-
I plan on goin and will help reserve a site I have a 16ft aluminum fishing boat Steve, perhaps you could send out a reminder when ur ready to reserve sites
-
Where is this taking place?
-
Where is this taking place?
Lake George
-

That was my plan, to start getting it organized two weeks or so in advance.
-
Question Steve. If Bog brought his boat for two days on the lake, does he still need to buy the lake usage permit??
I might come out for the day or something, but doubtful for camping.
-
Yes, they will still need the lake permit, but they sell some form of daily/weeky permits. No problem coming out for a day trip. We can pick people up at a state access where we met Issiah. It's an easy pick up spot with free parking right on the lake and pretty close. Can't park there over night though.
-
Does everyone that launches a boat need one of those permits,,even if your boat is registered in NY??
-
Yes Joe....one of the reasons a lot of locals don't fish the lake....
-
Send pictures... :'(
-
Does everyone that launches a boat need one of those permits,,even if your boat is registered in NY??
there are some size and HP exemptions.... under 10HP is ok .... there are lots of 15 HP motors with 9.9 stickers ;)
I'm in ... sounds like a blast
-
What are the details about this permit?
-
I don't have my laptop but of you search for "lake george boat permit" uou should find it.
-
Seem's cheap enough but NY sure does love it's fee's
http://www.lgpc.state.ny.us/boat_registration.html (http://www.lgpc.state.ny.us/boat_registration.html)
-
That one isn't the state. It's the Lake George Park Commission saying "if you don't have a house on the lake we don't want you here for a day/weekend". The state says it by not having a public launch on the south basin.
-
Seem's cheap enough but NY sure does love it's fee's
http://www.lgpc.state.ny.us/boat_registration.html (http://www.lgpc.state.ny.us/boat_registration.html)
So would a 16ft boat with a 9.9 hp (not 10hp)motor be exempt?
Aww, I guess $11.25 isn't bad anyways.
-
What island are you guys staying on? I'm speaking from experience when I say you may want to check the docks in advance. Many of the dockspaces are shallow and will not hold larger boats. I'd hate to see everyone reserve spots and get shafted because their dock space isnt appropriate. Smaller fishing boats will be fine, but cabin cruisers etc WILL run into issues.
-
I'm familiar with several of the docks where we'll be. Our 19' cuddy fits into them OK.
-
First on the agenda
the MHF 2012 Boxing Match ....starring Realtreeman and Drobs :o
-
I will pay to see that. Plus, put a dollar on Drob.....hunts2long
-
Bog--NY is Great,,reminds me of a song,,Another day older and deeper in dept,,,,saint peter don't ya call me cause I can't goooooooooo--
I owe my sole to andrew cuomo--------....
-
i hear u joe seems the fees are never ending. :o as for the boxing match my money is on realtree. i think drobs would be dq'd for kicking lol
-
Massachusetts isn't any better Buschy............ ::)
-
There is a state launch at million dollar beach Steve, next to the beach. Last I knew it was 10.00 to launch and 10.00 to park in the lot...
Which isn't that bad compared to some places. But still would rather go to places like 4TH where you can launch for free.... ;)
-
JoeSnag, are you going to join us for this one? It's going to be a blast.
-
Not sure if I can go for 4 days but I'll be up for a couple..
-
I might come out for the day or something, but doubtful for camping.
What's up with this? ;D ;D I drive 7+ hours and you throw in or something..........

I would be willing to donate the proceeds to charity in the name of MHF. ;D

Just not sure if I will be able to leave the wife for a weekend.....I've tried to get away this spring but haven't as yet. She needs someone around most of the time, as she falls regularly, and to cook for her. She can't stand at the stove or anything for more than 20 minutes...
I do think it would be a blast though....We'll have to see what happens in the next year as far as her health.... :(
-
Praying for her health there Upstate! Maybe she would be able to make the trip with ya for the day.
-
This is gonna be Kewl............ 8)
-
Thanks Otis... ;)
Believe me, there would be only one place I would rather be than where all our friends getting together from here... ;)
Have missed seeing Issiah and Dom this spring. But might make a drive out that way in the near future. I do have wheels now... :P

Hope the wife gets better soon.
-
Thanks DRob...she put her pics from the tooth extraction ordeal she is going through....on that other social network... ;)
She is still looking like she got hit by two buses.... :o :o :o
-
Scott, maybe the three of us could toss some lures around somewhere? Perhaps Dom could show us around on the canal near his place I have a boat if his is still broke...
-
That would be fun Issiah.... ;)
-
DOM??? What do you say??
-
I'd really like to say yay or nay but unfortunately I cant. I'm guessing this is gonna fall real close to the family trip. Wont know for a while. Sounds like a good trip tho.
-
DOM??? What do you say??
The way things are so up in the air right now I don't want to commit to anything.... But if all the stars are in line I will be there.... ;D
-
Ramrod and Raquette, I'm counting you both as going, just let me know if you find out your not coming for sure. Last weekend the fishing wasn't great, for the few hours we tried. Did keep three Sunday even with the constant east wind.
(http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/skabrehl/Fishing/DSCF3477-1.jpg)
Of course it's not all about the fishing, especially if it's real hot out. The water temp at the campsite was 78-80*.

-
I sure hope the island is bigger than the one behind you Steve. ;D ;D Nice lakers looks like you both enjoyed yourselves.
-
Steve I bet it was warmer right where you were sitting than the rest of the lake, thats what it looks like...
-
I will let you know Steve....
Sure looks nice.....
-
Steve I bet it was warmer right where you were sitting than the rest of the lake, thats what it looks like...
not that much warmer :o.
Friday night our neighbors brought us some fried SMB. They taste great out of there, not far from walleye IMO. May have plan a fry if we have enough bass guys to meet demand.
-
Nice, we are looking foward to this............
-
Looks like you had a good day Steve. Wish I could tell you for sure I was going but I'm just not sure yet. With the wedding coming up in 23 days this isn't the best time to be brining up fishing trips for next year. Know what I mean? I'll let you know as soon as I can. Cheeks out!!! 8)
-
I agree probably not the best time to bring that up Cheeks. Wait till the Honeymoon.lol ;D ;D J/K
-
He will end up bringing her in "her" new boat!
-

We know she can catch the smallies. ;D ;D
-
Well that's fine, I'll take you fishing in "her" boat next time. Then "she" can get a new depth finder, and "she" can get new rod holders and downriggers. It's always easier to be able to buy things for her than it is for me!!! ::) ;D Cheeks out!!! 8)
-
Sounds good to me Cheeks. ;D ;D
-
LOL!
-
sounds like cheeks has a plan.........
-
I'm in Steve definitely 2 people possibly 4 . we have a 14 foot v bottom boat with a 15 horse mercury if we need it.also have a reserve America account if we have to make reservations. this should be fun i have never caught a lake trout :o

It'll probably be your choice if you want to bring the boat. There's places around the sites that you can pull it right up on the shore if you're willing to. That could leave a dock open for another bigger boat. I'll definitely have you reserve a site, when the time comes we'll get it orginized.
I have some pics of the island that I'll post when I get a chance.
-
I also have the option of a 12 footer with the 9.9 that could be shore'd if that's the better route for me. We have plenty of time to figure that out.

It really depends on what we end up with for boats, your 19' would be ideal for helping to get people and gear to and from the island. I'd rather you didn't have to trailer it that far though if it's not necessary. It's a three mile boat ride and it can get choppy on the open lake. The small boats will be able to fish around the islands in the wind, once they're out there.
-
I will have a 1092' boat with twin engines 260,000 hp, I am trying to get it up there but I'm not sure if they will let me...I'll let you know...Maybe I can arrange a fly over... ;D

It's been trailered from Florida to Ontario so that's not a big deal.
I will have a 1092' boat with two nuclear reactors, I am trying to get it up there but I'm not sure if they will let me...I'll let you know... ;D
Going to nee a DEEP water launch for that one Sr Chief

Yeah but will it troll slow enough??? ;D Cheeks out!!! 8)
-
Probably not but we could do some stuff to the water make all the fish float up and then you could take your pick for your fish fry...heck the might already be cooked...
-
LOL, funny stuff Hunt.... ;D ;D You would be golden if the Hudson went into the lake....but doubt they have a trailer to carry it on.... :P
-
Hey Steve, what are the accommodations on the island? Cabins, lean-to's or tents. Mrs Cheeks is on board!!! ;D Cheeks out!!! 8)
-
They're tent sites, there are seven sites on the island. Some sites have tent platforms. There is a solar out house. Glad to hear she's in.
-
Okay cool. I'll let her know. Thx. Cheeks out!!! 8)
-
I wanted to bump this up top again before it gets much busier on the site. I'm going to need to know who is going and who will be willing to reserve a site. We can only reserve one site per person and I need a decent guess on a total number to know how many sites we need. The rate is about $25 per night, but with up to six people per site the cost shouldn't be very high per person. If you plan on coming and don't see your name on the first post in this thread let me know here or by PM. Anyone willing to make a reservation please let me know and I'll get that list together too. We will need to coordinate the reservations around October 1st.
-

-
This is all going down July 2012? I'm hoping to be either working for state corrections or Albany county sheriffs department by then so with either of those jobs I have no clue what my schedule would look like. I would probably make it out for a day though. Definitely too far in advance for me to give a definite answer but I guess it won't matter if I'm not going to need a campsite. Pretty good idea.
-
^
-
Bump
-
I'm still willin to reserv a site Steve,, won't be able to get up till Fri night or Sat morning that weekend but as long as some others help cover the expense I'll hold one for us
-
I' going to ask everyone to split the site costs evenly so it should be around $30 a head for the weekend. I was also going to have everyone bring their own food and drinks. Anyone who wants to bring stuff to share is obviously very welcome to and appreciated.
-
seem's like a good plan, I'll send you the money if you pm me where Steve. Just let me know when you want it. This is going to be a great time.
-
I almost dropped the ball on on this with everything else going on. We need to make reservations next week. PM me if you are willing to make reservations as I can only have one in my name.
-
Whoever is going to make reservations has to able to be on a computer with fast internet speed next Wednesday the 12th at 8:45am.
-
???
-
Bump?
-
i dont think i will b able to go. if its still planned for the 2nd weekend in july that is.
-
I was planning on the weekend of the 14th but I'm pretty flexible. The following weekend would be fine with me. I think Chucker couldn't go the weekend of the 14th either if I remember right.
-
my family camping trip really screws this up for me. we leave on the 15 n come home on the 21. guess ill stick w the colder outing.
-
I still cant commit 100% yet. Pretty sure I can make it but not enough to make reservations at this point.
-
We should be OK with just a few sites, we can get 2-3 tents on each with up to 6 people.

yes, usually they are gone in seconds.
-
It's starting to look like it's going to be a very small group. I'm fine with that too.

We are stii in..................... ;)
-
I knew you guys were coming. Looks like it might be a quieter time than I originally expected. No problem here, more relaxing for me ;D. It's going to be a great time.
-
I will need anyone interested in reserving a site to get in touch with me. You will need to be able to rent them at 9am (8:50) Wednesday, day after tomorrow. Most sites are already booked, hope we can what we need. Sites are $22 per night and I was going to reserve them from Thursday-Monday. We'll split the cost between everyone who comes so it shouldn't be to bad for each.
-
Tomorrow's the day, well morning. Hopefully we'll have three campsites. That should be enough for the people I expect to want to come. Hope we get all three.
-
I'm booking the second site today. Hopefully Abe is booking the third. There is one more site available (for now) if anyones interested. Three sites will allow us 18 people with six tents not counting day visitors.
-
im on the site and think i have it figured out just waiting for 9 am
-
Great me too, I made a second account for Heather to book a second site. Hope it works. We'll have the top flat of the island if we get the ones we want. It's a nice big grass/tree flat, plus a lower one on the point with decent swimming access I already booked. We should have docks for four boats since the one I got has two sides. I'm already looking forward to this trip.
-
Okay, anyone interested in attending keep the dates open We have sites from Thursday July 12th to Tuesday July 17th. Make sure you get on the list before we run out of spots. I have the list of people expected to attend on the first post or the first page. Otherwise I'm not doing much more with this until spring.
-

Probably nothing a thermacell and beer wont cure. Plus stka smokes so that will keep them away.

There easy, & it impresses a lot of people also! ::)
-

Get a metal 5gal bucket that had something nontoxic in it. Thats the hard part... Get a beer can holder for cooking chickens.... Lay out a big area of tin foil..Over lay it by making an X than lay more till you have it all filled in. Place turkey on open full beer can/holder in middle of foil.. Put bucket over it.. I like to put a big rock on bucket to seal it better... Place 10 pounds of charcole around bottom of can.. I try to make as even all the way around and stack it... Lite and wait till coles are done...
(http://i415.photobucket.com/albums/pp237/raquettedacker/101_1456.jpg)
-
Seems easy enough. Would be a good "deer camp" meal for Sunday's.
-
I have an old beer keg that was cut for that...works pretty good too...
-
And don't use a galvanized can..............................
-
Drive stick in ground , Cover ground with alum-foil , Place bird on stick , Cover with bucket , Place 10 lb. char-coal
around and on bucket , Light and come back 1 hr. 40 mins. done : Do it all the time even cook thanksgiving turkey
that way can't ask for more moist turkey :P :P :P ;)
Steel 5 gal. bucket burn it out before using

around and on bucket , Light and come back 1 hr. 40 mins. done : Do it all the time even cook thanksgiving turkey
that way can't ask for more moist turkey :P :P :P ;)
Thats right... Except I stoped using the stick part.. I find you loose aot of juice down the hole... Beer can holder/cooker is the bomb...
-
No better way to cook a chicken than with a beer can in it's butt. ;D
-
Nice! What happens if I use Galvy? I have one of those..........
-
Bad toxins in the galvy, wouldn't want to eat em after they burn. Must be a steel grease bucket over at the asphault co.

Or start a bonfire and roll it around in it.... ;D

Yes bucket will last a long time put it in your shed out of weather

I went to my friends after work to hang the time lapse camera. Dropped off a treestand and reseeded the food plot while I was there. By the time I was done it was starting to get dark and I was swarmed by mosquitoes :o. think I even saw a black fly :-\.

nice pics steve....still never caught a togue :D
-
We will change that in July Abe. ;)
-
Nice pic's you got ; You sure did catch some nice Lakers
-
Yep... Seen them before, and happy to see them again.... ;D ;D
-
Sure is a great lake to fish....Would have been great to get the group on it to ice fish this year....I'm sure you will do great this summer.
Skeeters and black flies have started Steve...Didn't take long to get water temps to 50 for a hatch some places....Add to that the treatment companies usually start in April most years, so they haven't gotten the chems in the water yet.....could be bad....
-
Haven't seen any bug's yet don't really want to either
-

Oh, I don't think it's going to be that bad, it's early yet, plenty time for some heavy frost.
-
The bugs usually aren't bad at all on the islands. Nothing like being in the woods. Worst bugs we get are the black house flies and the occasional horse fly on the boat. Scott you and Tyler have to make an appearance, even if it's just a day trip.
-
We will change that in July Abe. ;)
8)
-
I thought this shindig was in August?
-
Nope (Thursday July 12th through Monday July 15th) I put it on the original post. August the laker fishing wouldn't be nearly as good ;).
-
Oh..... ;D ;D
-
Still looking forward to the trip guys growing away from the internet these days, but took time off for this and plan on joining in on the good company
-
You need to come Issiah, you're the only trained mate I have ;D.
-
Someone is trying to book a wedding flower job for that weekend................ ::) Sorry other obligations. ;D ;D
-
Just tell them to reschedule for the following week ;D.
-
No kidding, Who get's married in the middle if July. ;D
-
Just have all your boys take care of the flower business while you are gone... :o :o :o ;D ;D
-
That's the plan..........Amy will do the work on wednesday night, Someone will have to put them on the Ferry (island wedding) friday afternoon. ;D ;D
-
As long as the kids don't deliver a bunch of Dandilions and other flowers around the farm... ;D
-
Ha,Ha.............you never know what this crew will come up with. ::)
-
Well since I wasn't supposed to be around and I didn't have a boat I wasn't coming...but maybe I can convince the wifey to make a daytrip now for this...Maybe Cheeks can bring his wifey too and we can stop by for a visit...
-
Didn't even occur to me until now, but there's a hotel and a B&B that both have docks too. Rates don't seem real bad either. There are cabins as well but they cost a lot more.
Hotel (next to town beach and launch)

Well boat's washed up, battery on charge. Probably start up Friday and check electronic's. I see I need a bow light. :P
-

ahhh the age of technology. :P
-
Well we pay all the darn $$$ for the stuff might as well use it...... ;D
-
There should be room for more if anyone else want to come. There should be plenty of boats to help get people and gear in and out.
-
OH..... Now it's all better :P
Damn skippy ;D
-
LOL
-
Boat's running, new light's on the trailer and tires soon. Found the downrigger rods and cowbell's.... haven't seen cannonball's yet though? :-\
-

If you don't find them let me know and I'll bring you some, we have enough to defend a small fort 8).
-
So is the list of attendees on the page accurate? I thought all sorts of people were going... maybe I'll swim out for a day
-
I need to verify who's planning to attend so I can calculate the price per each. We are allowed a max of 36 people and I believe nine tents. We have 3-4 docks spaces and an areas smaller boats can be pulled up on the shore. Anyone who wants to come out for for either a day trip or to camp will need to plan a time to arrive so someone can come pick them up.
-
This is the list I have so far, if there are any additions or cancellations please let me know. That includes if you're bringing someone with you and I see no reason not to with the low number of people planning to attend. There's e a nice swimming area right at the campsites but it is a bit rocky so I would plan on bringing footwear for the water. There is also a day use island that you can walk to from where our docks are. There is also a good mix of open and shade. At the current count the camping cost will be $30 a head for the weekend (Friday-Monday), that doesn't count food, gas, beverages, firewood or additional parking ($6 per night/vehicle after the six we're allowed). If anyone would like to come but doesn't have the gear let us know and I'm sure someone will let you borrow what you need. Please help me get this nailed down as soon as you can to help me get a more solid plan in place. I'm figuring that a few people will bring food to share as I will. This will be a great weekend, I'm really looking forward to it.

We are definite, I just need to nail down the meal plan. Do I plan for 2 and bring a little extra or are we eating as a group and doing a pot luck sort of thing? OR do we do our own meals and plan a Big pot luck thing for 1 night? (Saturday) It doesn't matter to me at all. I have a 2 burner camp chef blind stove I'll be willing to share as well as a 12x12 screen room/rain shelter we can use as community space.
-
I'm open to any form of food arrangement, we can have fried laker one night unless the bass guys bring back a pile of smallies ;) or if anyone knows how to catch perch in June :-\. I can all but guaranty having lakers, but not any other species. It would probably be easiest if everyone plans on having their own food and drinks and just bring a little extra if they like.
-

This is probably the best plan. However don't anyone bring Bacon.....I have about #100 in the freezer and will bring a bunch. (long story but I was in the right place at the right time.) ;)

Nice, bacon makes everything taste better ;D.

Yes it does. 8)

I have been cleared to go. Worried about my family though things have been rough lately. Mom wants me to fly but there is no way that is happening(drobs does not do planes). To be honest I am dreading 8 hours in a car by myself and was hoping to bring someone else but that got busted. By the way I think she is getting hers right now. ;) Sucks when you make wrong decisions. ;D ;D Bottomline is I am do for some damn fun and that is what I intend to do.
-
You can stay here if you need to... I'm just under two hours away...
And when I was your age (maybe younger) a road trip like that was nothing.... I use to leave Michigan after work on Friday and drive to West Virgina to see Mindy and be back to work on Monday.... :o :o :o Those were the days.... ;D
-
I'm with you Dom, when I was stationed down in VA, I used to come back to NY many a weekend...when I was in NJ I used to come home every other weekend...Drobs the trip is nothing and I don't even think it is that far...
-
81-88-Albany-87. Easy peasy. If you do it right, I bet you could drive it in 7.
-
In that little red sports car you could probably make it in five hours and that's counting having to stop for gas and a stack of tickets ;D. Hope everything works out with the family. I don't remember how long the trip took me.
-
Will have to see what the vehicle situation is by then.....Intake manifold is going now....only drive as far as I can walk home...LOL

haha No little red sports car on the trip. I already have to preplan my routes with that so I dont break the front end on it. ::) I was gonna take the Durango but the gas would be a killer. So my mother offered to swap me vehicles which would leave me with a brand new Kia Optima. I will take that plus is has built in GPS. Just hope all the gear fits in it.
Do you think it will be warm enough for Drobs?....hunts2long
If its not we are going to have issues.lol

OH,man this going to be cool............ 8) 8)

I'm not sure. I have never been al LG, might be nice. Matter of fact, my boat has only been on Sacandaga in the 10 years I have had it....hunts2long
-
Well this is a good chance to show her some new water. ;) ;D
-
We should have plenty of boats if you just want to have one of us pick you up at the dock too. We will have 3-4 dock slips, so we'll have to figure out what boats are coming.
-
Hope you make it Dave
Both are thinkin of comin
Amy said no thinking....They have to come. 8) 8) Seems that she and jon are an item on FB.... ;D ;D

I would prefer not to bring my boat unless I need it. Only has a 15 horse motor. I will be coming alone Steve Renee and her young ones have prior arrangements. Looking forward to seeing everyone again 8)

You're not going to bring any of your buds? You shouldn't need the boat, I'm guessing we'll have the docks full. I'm only sure of Bogs and mine as of now but no doubt we'll have plenty.
-

I'm hoping to get there Thursday night if my work schedule allows me to leave early enough......not sure if anyone can get Friday off >:(
-
I will have a 16ft Blue Fin fishing boat for us, just had it tuned up and it is running better than ever :)
-
That's a good sized boat for the lake, especially for bass fishing ;). You know the area a little now. The launch is about 3 miles north of the island where we were. You early birds can fish the smb or salmon in the morning if tou want. Lakers don't usually get hot for us until 0900 or so. Not that we can't catch them, just not as fast 8).
-
I'll count your boat as the third it will probably fit well on the second side of our dock. It's a little shallow if I remember right and yours should sit plenty high in the water. We'll figure that out once I get out to check out the dock. I'll bring plenty of bumpers and worse case we'll tie two together, its real sheltered on the two back side docks.
-
Man , I wish I was commin :'( :'( Got too much goin on around here tho ;)
-
Mine is aluminimum, Doesn't draw much. Heck I'll pull it up on shore if we need to. Boss is giving me a Noon departure time now. That should put us there around 5 I think.
-
Your boat will be in good company Bog, ours was new in '82 or '84, still catches fish just fine though 8). Like you said the payments are perfect for us, as long as it runs good and floats I'm happy with it ;).
-
Unfortunately I'm not going to be able to make it now. Sorry for the last minute but with my surgery I'm way behind on alot of things. Looking forward to pics though. Hope you guys understand. Cheeks out!!! 8)
-
Not a problem here hope you get caught, up deer season is coming ;D.

How do you cook the mylar bag to make it edible ;D.
I'm really looking forward to this trip, lots of work/planning left to do here. Unfortunately I'm not doing any commemorative hats like I hoped, just have to much tied up into it already and not enough time. We'll just have to settle for pictures, lakers, sunburn and maybe a hangover (if you're into that sort of thing 8)).
-
Never enough time, It'll all work out. I genrally am ready for bed long before the point of having a hangover for breakfast. ;D ;D ;DThe rest will be just fine though.
The secret to the Mylar bag is a secret............ :-X

The pile of camping gear is getting bigger every day. :D The Boss is pretty excited about this too. ;D
-
Yep .... Lisa is happy too , I have a Cabelas camp kitchen and a 10 man dome tent , is space an issue ?
-
Space for the tents shouldn't be an issue. I called the site last week and they were fine with three tents per site. Also I think I miscalculated, it's 6 per site so we're allowed 18 on the island. That doesn't include day trippers, just those of us spending the night. If anyone is into snorkleing it's a good area for it right at the sites, mostly rocky bottom and real clear water, always.
-
Sounds sweet ;D ;D ;D
-

Plenty of room then.
-
Just put fresh line on the downrigger rods..............
-
We have a pair of water hammocks, that's probably where you'll find Heather most of the weekend. I kind of prefer a folding camp chair in 2-3' of water with a beer or two 8).
-
I like the folding chair as well with the crab trap loaded with Pabst!
-
Nice 8).
-
Hoping the heat wave moving in bumps the water temps, it's only in the mid sixties from what few reports I've seen. It's typically in the upper 70's to 80* by then.

Whats the name of the island??

Wow... Didnt realize it was way up there... 3 hrs for me... :o

Best way from the northway is exit 25 (rte8) about a half hour from the exit.
Day tripper we will pick up at Dock Rd in Hague here:

ManI wish I could go but not with the baby due soon. ;D
-
Bummer Roy, hopefully we'll do it again next year. Maybe camp on the main land next year though to make it easier.

That would be great. I already have my packbasket set up to take her into the woods with me this fall! ;)
-
Nice ;D.
-
I think it is time I find out what kind of forage is in the lake for the bass. So I can limit the amount of tackle I am going to bring.
-
Smelt, crayfish, perch, sunfish, small bass etc.
-
They will most likely be 25-40' down on sunken islands and rocky points.
-
Sounds like some drop shoting will be done. ;D

Only need 1 secret lure....... ::)

Thats right and its me. ;D ::) ::)
-
LOL, No city fish up there...... ;D ;D
-
I have a feeling I know how they operate. ;D
Would you say this lake has a higher smallmouth to largemouth ratio?
-
Cold.....I would have to think far more Smallies.
-
I am packing a lot of bandages for you...... ;)
-
lol Thats probably a good idea. ;D ;D
-
Is it easiest to just get my Boat permit locally or can I get it online ahead of time?
-
Way more smallies in the north basin where we'll be, don't plan on seeing any largemouth. My boat will be trolling lakers most of the time, unless everyone has had enough. But having to cycle people through I doubt that will happen.
-
I'll probably be sleeping 20 hrs a day at my age anyway. Mine can fish for whatever, once I get the Bride a couple togue. ;D ;D
-
Is it easiest to just get my Boat permit locally or can I get it online ahead of time?
I don't think you can get one online. There's a small marina (Dockside Landing Marina) that sells them right on Route 9N after turning off rte 8 in Hague. You can mail order or call to order them from here http://www.lgpc.state.ny.us/formidx.html (http://www.lgpc.state.ny.us/formidx.html)
-
I am assuming you can just haven't checked but can you purchase fishing license online?
-
Parking lot for that marina is tiny and I wouldn't pull in towing a boat, better off to try to pull over on the curb if you can. It's also an on water gas station very close to the island so you can always run over after you launch if you have to.

We are up to 13/18 for campers 8).

Do we have the whole island reserved ?
-
Do we have the whole island reserved ?
No. We have three of six sites on the island. Two of them are on a large grassy flat on top of the island and the third is a little lower down on the west side but all three are adjacent.
-
Really looking forward to this. Hope to put some faces with names. Haven't been to NY in 10 years.
-
Okay, here's some pics of the island.
NW corner. The lower site is on the right, dock is behind pine in the foreground. The upper two sites are to the left and their dock is the one with the boat docked.
(http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/skabrehl/Fishing/Waltonian/DSCF3448sm.jpg)
A little more to the left (North). You can see the small gap to the day use island on the edge of the pic.
(http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/skabrehl/Fishing/Waltonian/DSCF3447sm.jpg)
Day use island on left (no campsites).

Gap
(http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/skabrehl/Fishing/Waltonian/DSCF3458sm.jpg)
Dock for the two upper sites, a short haul to get the gear up. Note the rock on the right, have to be careful pulling the boats in.
(http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/skabrehl/Fishing/Waltonian/DSCF3455sm.jpg)
SW side. Lower site on left and you can kind of see the opening on top where the two other sites are.
(http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/skabrehl/Fishing/Waltonian/DSCF3462sm.jpg)
Same from a bit more East.
(http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/skabrehl/Fishing/Waltonian/DSCF3463sm.jpg)
SE corner there's a site we don't have in a crevice behind the rock on the right.
(http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/skabrehl/Fishing/Waltonian/DSCF3464sm.jpg)
ESE dock for that site and a table for the next.
(http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/skabrehl/Fishing/Waltonian/DSCF3465sm.jpg)
E second site we don't have, third is on the right behind big pines. Other side of gap on edge of pic.
(http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/skabrehl/Fishing/Waltonian/DSCF3467sm.jpg)
NE Third site we don't have.
(http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/skabrehl/Fishing/Waltonian/DSCF3470sm.jpg)
Same as above with gap.
(http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/skabrehl/Fishing/Waltonian/DSCF3471sm.jpg)
Neighboring family wasn't fisherfolk but the son wanted to try, so we took him out for a quick run and got him his biggest fish ever. Putting new comers to the sport on fish is the best part of the sport. Unfortunately it was to short to keep so we gave them a few prefilet ones from earlier to take home ;).
(http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p265/skabrehl/Fishing/Waltonian/DSCF3478sm.jpg)
Money shot, probably fish they got to eat ;D. Must be the shirt ;).

There are usually two picnic tables per site. There are two outhouses in the center of the island but they are the solar type and the nicest least stinky ones I've ever seen.

Looks Squatchy to me... ;D
I hope to encounter the baby squatches that are in the area. ;D ;D

Looks like snake country to me.....I'll bring some Jerky to mess with the squatche's.
Amy love's it already.... 8)
-
I sure do miss that jerky Harrie, last night while pounding beers with teej on the docks lookin for stripahs we had about a 20 min. conversation about how awesome your jerky and Summer Sausage is and how we need to learn how to do it make entire deer out of it. I wish we got more tags up here to do more things with the meat...... You kinda gotta be stingy with it up here. I shared your jerky and some summer sausage with him a couple days after we went out because I am such a gentleman and a scholar ::).
-

Less than 3 weeks away now. Just about have everything together here. I know we can't bring it from out of state but what's the protocol on Camp fires and wood?
-
There are fire places on each site. In NY you can't transport wood more than 50 miles, and you have to self issue a receipt as well ::). There are some counties where you are not allowed to transport wood out of, and of course my house with all the maple I wanted to use is in one of them (Albany). So unfortunately we will probably have to buy it. As you head east on rte8 there are usually a few houses that sell it roadside and there's also a family that drives around the main campground selling it, I used to have his cell number but can't find it. He said he would meet us at the town launch a mile from the island if we called him, so we didn't have to make the 3-4 mile run back to the campground.

Does anyone that's coming have a turkey fryer they can bring?
-
Unless we can get one closer to LG I'll borrow one. I can cook clam's in it too. ;)
-
I have a burner and big pot I can bring, just figured if someone had one and was familiar with getting it to temperature it would be a bit easier.
-
I have one I can bring ....We may need a 20 lb propane tank though
-
That island is going to be very explosive before all is said and done...you guys have about 32.5 pounds of propane so far... :o :o :o

This is the regulation page.

Pets
Proof of a valid rabies inoculation must be provided before any dog is allowed in a campground.
The actual certificate of current rabies vaccination as issued by the veterinarian is required as proof that the pet has been vaccinated. Dated collar tags will no longer be accepted as proof of the vaccination.
Dogs and other pets are not permitted at the beach, in picnic areas, or in any building.
Pets must be confined or leashed to restrict them to the campsite of the owner.
Dogs cannot be left unattended. Barking or vicious dogs must be removed from the campground.
Dogs may be walked on a leash - no longer than 6 feet, provided they are under control at all times.
Dogs are not permitted on the Lake George Islands.
Dog owners must properly dispose of the animals excrement

I was thinking that too, there'd be a small heard on the island ;D. Would make for an interesting drive too.
-
All the reviews I read on the different propane trees weren't very good, so I got a tee, a 5' and an 8' hose. Just have to make a telescoping lantern pole for the 8'er.

They do seem well behaved.

Good news and bad news to report.....bad news is my friend brad hurt his arm bad he may have detached his bicep muscle he says it hurts so bad he can't fish :o never thought I would here him say that.....good news is he's off work for a while and wants to come along for the campin trip unless he needs emergency surgery
-
Just had a guy at work do that Abe, looked pretty nasty! I litterally could see the bicep tendon snap and then the muscle just curled up like a tennis ball. he was out for almost 2 months and needed suregery for sure. I hope your bud is on the mend soon. it Looked damn painful!
-
He's comin over for a few beers soon said it sounded like someone cracking there knuckles :o can't imagine the pain
-
Beers always help, that is exactly how I would explain the sound when I heard it as well. Sounds like surgery is surely in his future :-\
-
Beers always help
Yes the buds are working well tonite........is George Washington in the house ???

I just got a jury duty notice for monday the 16th >:(. Hoping I can reschedule? Haven't been called for jury duty in probably 10 years, if not more. Never went since I was working up to 72 hours a week at the time. I was actually looking forward to going finally :o.
-
Bad timing, they let us reschedule once I think.
-
I got picked when I was 19, I decided to brush it off, guess what? That is a major no no I learned real quick. Sheriff showed up with cuffs in hand after many notices. I litterally lived at the time in my apt. 200 yds. from the courthouse and 300 yds. from the jail. I chose court ;D. I was filling out the paperwork and one of the questions is how many miles will you travel so they can pay mileage so I told the truth and wrote 200 yds. the guy was pissed thinking I was being a DB, I had to point out the window and say that's my house bro. I rode the wheeler over every day 8). I was fortunate enough or unfortunate enough to know people in every case I got picked for and never had to sit through any of it ;D. What did they think that 10 bucks a day was gonna get me anyway? ::)
-
I never had a problem 10+ years ago. I was always honest with them and they seemed like they were just happy I called. But that was a long time ago.
-
Just want to thank Bogman and MOM for letting us invade their yard for the weekend. Sam and I had a great time (and I kinda needed it). The tour was great too, I learned more than I expected to.

Glad you had a good time Steve. I will be trying my hand on the water down there in 2 weeks in the land of Oceanspray OZ ;D

Glad you had fun bro , lookin forward to my trip to the Bog ..... someday ;) Lisa and I have alot going on , this weekend's wedding was :o :o :o to say the least .

I heard, hope you have a great time. But there aren't actually any stripers in the cape cod bay ???. We are a very sorry excuse for striper fisherman, pretty sure it's me though Sam has caught them without me.

We will get on the bass 8)

We will work on this next time your down here. ;)
-
Not a big deal, it's kind of nice to work at something new. Gets a little old catching fish at will ::) lol. I caught my first mackerel ever today, first ones I ever saw and that was cool by itself. Plus now we have spots we can fish in any weather (except lightning ;)).
-
Lot of that here last night. :o
-
Problem solved, jury duty postponed until the end of the month ;).
-
Just a little over a week left to wait......Thought we may want to not duplicate to triplicate some camp items so I'll start a list.
I have the following to bring.
Wife and Boat.Fishing gear.
2 burner stove, griddle, coffee pot,cooking tools, several pan's, Turkey cooker pot and burner.
Screen tent, 4X4 folding table, several camp chairs.
Usual cooking items,zip locks,paper towels trash bags, foil,dish soap,
I plan to bring a bunch of stuffed quahog's, Steamers, Frito bag tacos and BACON!!!!!!! as community contributions.
Is someone bringing the Oil for the deep fry Steve? And what about a #20er ?
-
I was going to bring both, a jug of oil and a full 20lb tank with the splitter and hoses. Are you sure it's okay if we use your pot for oil? I don't want to mess it up for your future boils ;).
-
I'll bring flour, eggs and bread crumbs too.

There had been plenty of oil in that pot already.

Doubt I'll be able to swing up. We'll be in Copake Falls and Churchtown for the weekend (SE Columbia County).

Dislike...... :-\

Just too difficult to manage logistically with two small kids, and the sites out on the island.

I think logistically I could bring enough lobster and keep them alive for everyone for saturday night if I have a head count.
12 people I think?

I've been trying to keep the list and count current on page one. Had a good time tonight but doubt I'll be +1 at such short timing. I think I'm going to make a batch of venison meatballs for mini parm subs.

Hate to post this but I am not going to make it. :( Sorry guys I know I said I was coming but sometimes we cant predict the future. My father has a neurological exam in DC on Friday the 13th. He will also get another cortisone shot in his back. It was supposed to be scheduled for tomorrow but the doctors office pushed it back till next week. Last time I had to pretty much carry him inside and he couldn't walk for 24hrs. This mixed with a busy work schedule my mother cant handle it all herself. Hope you guys understand I truly was looking for to it.

That's to bad Dave was looking forward to meeting you in person. Got to take care of you family first though.

We understand Dave......family first
-
Directions are up on the first post.

Everyone that's going to be camping is going to have to PM me first and last name of who's coming so I can preregister and tell you what site # to check in for. I can only list one vehicle per site but I was told we were allowed two, you may have to try to see if they'll let you register the vehicle to the site when you check in. If not I think it's $6 a day to park so it's not that bad anyway.
-
Thanks for understanding guys. Now I will be jealous when I see the pics of the good time everyone had.
-
OH............ :o :o :o Well this stinks.....Hope he turn's out ok Buddy.

I guess I better pack my stuff then :o
-
68 meatballs in the oven doing their thing now. Had a problem with the propane and propane accessories though. The 8' hose and tee work fine but the 5' hose was the wrong style. Returned it to get another 8' but they didn't have any with the right fittings any size. Tried two more stores with no luck. Will try another store or two tomorrow.
-
Just finished packing my tent sleeping bag air mattress and pillow.....just need to get some close together and grab my fishing gear before departure 8) I have a portable power pack I will be bringing as well as an air mattress pump
-
Glad to hear it, is the power pack fully charged? Does it have a 12 plug to charge on, if so we can keep it charged with the boat. My uncle "fixed" his so I have minimal faith in it if we have a battery issue in the boat.
-
It has a 12 volt plug in , jumper cables, air pump and 2 120 plug ins on the front.......should I bring my dewalt radio for tunes ?
-
Not for me, I'm perfectly happy without the music.

Was just talking to a guy in the bait shop and he showed me a pic of a 7+lb smallie he got this summer. Thing was a monster, you'd have to cut that into quarters to get it in the fryer ;D.

Got the second propane hose too, now we can see and cook at the same time 8).

Shouldn't be any problem with the young group, but we only have the one boat so it'll be tough to get them all out fishing at the same time if they want to go. Do you have another tent or something, it will be very tight if you all try to use the one.
-
Not too late for me to add a boat..... ;)
-
If someone closer was coming I would have them bring one, but just seems like a waste for you to have to tow yours that far.
-
Just checking. ;)
-
Foul Anchor?
-
Foul Anchor?
If you bring it......tease...... :'( :'( :'(
-
Ok My boss has spoken and I am bringing mine. ;) It's been towed from Tampa bay to Ontario. A little trip to Lake George ain't no big deal.

LOL Nothing will surprise me with this crew steve. It's a done deal, I just went and put the downriggers back on and Laker gear back in the Compartment. I can load half my crap in the boat for the ride and won't have to move it twice whe we get there too. It's no big deal at all. I promise. 8) 8)

No Touge in NY ::) ::)
That's a Maine term. @ least that's what they call lake trout.
-
Looks like you guys had some good fishing and some good eats. ;D But my question is did eveyone forget their cameras? ::) ;D Where are all the pics? Cheeks out!!! 8)

I had a great time, so did a Heather. Glad we got everyone a nice fish, I didn't reel any up but everyone else got at least one nice fish. Average size of all boated by sunday noon time was 26.25" for eight fish I think in maybe six hours of fishing.
-
Ok, I see Amy is on.. Maybe she will post some real good pictures and make me feel real bad I couldnt make it... ::) 8)

We had a great time once again with a great group of friends !! thank you to all for making it worth the trip!!
-
I'm uploading some but they aren't very good. If you wanted pics so bad you should have come taken some ;). Just kidding Dom, we all missed you and were hoping to hear you were at the dock waiting for us to pick you up. I even had to buy a coffee maker for the trip :'(.
-
Hey Dom,first they have to use up all the film in the camera,that will be thanksgiving,then they take the film to the drug store and it's sent away for 2 weeks,then it comes back with red tape over the front that says CENSORD........LOL

Looks like a great time everyone. 8) Nice pics stka.

Nice pictures. Blue water, blue sky, bluebird weather, I would guess blue pictures. I think they come out great. Thanks for sharing....hunts2long

Thanks guys. The weekend wasn't without it's quirks, had a few over heating issues, a towed boat and this little problem (not the reason for the tow).

Ouch! What'd ya hit?
-
Looks worse here than it did in person Steve :o
-
Great pics, looks like a good time. 8)
-
Great pictures Steve.. To bad about the prop...
-
Ouch! What'd ya hit?
Backed into a rock not 5' out of the dock, front of the boat hadn't cleared the dock yet. Abe can tell you this too, but we had gone over the exact same spot many times already. I don't open my eyes under water so it took twenty minutes to get the spare prop on. Bending out the lock washer tabs took me a while with the distorted view.
Great pictures Steve.. To bad about the prop...
Not a big deal, that's why there's always a back up in the boat. Will drop this one off to be fixed tomorrow. I was more worried when the temperature gauge pinned out and the smoke was coming out of the engine cover. That was the tow back to the dock. But once the temp dropped a bit the water pumped fine and no more heat issues. Did have to have Bog tweek the idle after that one though.
-
Sorry to hear that! It happens.............
-
Checked the oil and trany fluid before the trip, but spaced out on the coolant in the truck (The one thing I know leaks slowly ::)). Stopped at Fish307 for lake passes and my truck was way over it's happy temp. Gallon of water at stewarts fixed that one fast and easy.
Sorry to hear that! It happens.............
One of the few things I have going for me is that I don't stress out over that type of stuff. It happens and everything can be fixed, just a matter of how much time and money it'll take.
-
Right on!
-
Things like that happen. The bottom is sometimes close to the top.....hunt2long
-
I'll admit I was a little worried after the over heating. Once the temp dropped a little I checked the oil which looked nice and clear, hit the key quick and the engine turned over. Once I knew it wasn't seized I figured I could get her running again, especially with Bog there as well. Very, Very glad he brought his boat. Would have been a long paddle job in our boat :o. When I finally got to try to start the boat again it wasn't kicking over but the temp dropped like a rock from the water pump turning off the starter, that was a big weight lifted too. Was just flooded so I opened the carb gave Bog the ether and right back to happy boat. The smoking temp did mess up the idle speed somehow so Bog tweaked it while I watched the tachometer and got it from 500 back to the 900rpms it's usually running.

Great pic's Buddy. Amy is working on our's.
We again had a great time in NY. If you guy's would get rid of the Yankee's I could like it lamost as much as Maine......almost. ;)
We had a great time too. Glad we didn't have to spend to long fishing to get a few fish. Left a lot more time to relax around the site. As far as the yankmes go, I think New Hampshire needs a team ;D.
I think we could have gotten by all weekend with the tools in my pocket...... ;D
We could have, but your leatherman may have taken a beating getting that lock washer off.
-
A NH team would be awesome! Will never happen though :(.
-
You do realize that is the second pic of me being towed in a boat in about five weeks ::). Also the second rock I hit in as much time. The last rock wasn't the prop though had the boat teetering on it ;D.
-
A NH team would be awesome! Will never happen though :(.
Even if the NH Yankees?
-
LOL, if we had a team called the yankees I would root for them 8) until them I will keep hating yours ;D
-
The good pic's are coming I promise.....She is photoshoping the swirls in the background on a couple hundred pic's.... 8)
