I've been quiet - haven't been fishing since 7/19. Not gonna get a chance to go this weekend either - headed for Watkins Glen for the races.
Maybe next weekend.......(i hope!)
Is there any one doing any fishing at all these days? Been real quiet lately on here.

camofish,
I was up in yur neck of the woods (sort of) last week in Lake Placid.. No fishing but we had a great time AND it was a nice break from the heat!
Joe, Have fun this weekend! What part of the track do you usually sit? We always liked turn 9 because everyone there always sat ontop of their RV's and you can walk right up to the fence and sit in your chair and have a great view of the cars as they go through the turn
camo521.. Not Crappie, but my Dad has been doing Ok on the yellow perch in the Oswego Harbor.

Yea, Lake Placid is about 3 hours North of me, LOL. Still some beautiful county and mountains.
Been catching lots of perch and smallies up at camp over vacation, but look forward to getting back on my local rivers and lakes after the panfish and maybe find those late summer crappie. Really looking forward to the fall crappie bite on the river, cause I'll know that ice fishing haven is near.

WOW, nobody is out fishing for crappies? I can't believe how quiet it is here. Or is it that I'm new here and nobody wants to talk to me? What ever, just trying to get some one to go fish with and maybe some info on the crappies, where, how, and what, to use this time of year. If any body would like to give some input on this I would be very grateful. Thanks, Big Bob.
I plan on hunting some crappie once Sept gets rolling, Oct and Nov are great crappie months with the cooling waters and winter coming.

Not being tight-lipped, just nothing to report on the crappie front (other than pulling a bunch from the freezer and frying them up yesterday).
Hunting crappie is tough during the summer, the fish tend to be scattered rather than schooled like they are in the spring and fall. A lot of us switch to other species (bass & pike in my case) during the summer, just to keep things interesting.
We always get the Turn 1 Tailgate Zone package. Park in the infield (inside turn 1), set up lawn chairs along the fence right at the exit of pit road. From there, we can see some of the front straight, all of turn 1, most of turn 2 and the part of the "S"s. Right behind us is a jumbo-tron, so we can see the coverage of the rest of the track. They've cut way down on the number of cautions by paving the outside of turn 1 instead of the gravel pit that used to be there. Now all you get when someone spins there is a blue flag instead of a full course caution. Turn 1 and turn 9 are probably the best two places to watch a race from - they're the two main places for passing.
