Lake George report 5/24/08: Went out of Mossy point in Ticonderoga, water temps ranging from 51 in the main lake to 54 in the smaller sheltered coves. Air temp in the upper 40’s with bright sun. Started fishing the small sheltered coves looking for warmer temps. Caught a few small bass on jerk baits and tubes. No bedding bass found yet in the north end. I did find several cruising fish in the shallow coves but only one taker. Moved back into the main lake and started fishing some of the well known humps. Cloud cover and north winds picking up (@10-20mph) Several small mouth bass in the 2# range were found, however not in abundance. Most fish were caught in and around giant schools of bait. When the bait fish disappeared so did the smallies. The fish caught were fat as footballs. All were caught on drop shots rigged with Berkley Gulp minnows in white and Bass Pro shops tender tubes in green pumpkin. Fished several main lake points with limited success. Also talked to several others bass fishermen and they also found the fishing tough.
