I do believe there was an x-files episode involving Lake George. A UFO crashing into the lake or something like that. Does anybody know about that one? Fishing after dark can be spooooooooky! Last fall a large barn owl came real close to me swooping down from a tree at night. That got the blood pressure up a bit. I do a lot of night fishing though cause it's quiet and in the fall when the days get short it's the only time I can fish with this dang job and all.I think it was Sacandaga or Great Sacandaga...
i have a friend that was nightfishing and a giant beaver made a big splash in front of him near the shore. he doesnt really go fishing after dark that much any more
Yup those darn beavers. I to thought someone was throwing rocks in the water. After walking the shoreline a million times to find who was being a jerk I finally realized it was just a beaver. man is that sound lound at night when all is calm.Big Walleye,
Used to fish the Cannonsville Res. in NY at night for bullhead. People that would fish there during the day for browns would toss any carp they caught onto the bank. Well, this would draw the black bears in to feed on the carcasses. They were always pretty good at sneaking up close on us in the wee hours of the morning!! The slightest snap of a twig would scare the tar out of us!
Yeah we bears like to scare dogs like you ;D , too tough to eat though ;)
It dosen't have to be late at night for the creepy crawlers to hit. Was out earlier this evening for some catfish. I got plenty but that not the story. It had been one of those days when you see a guy backing his van into your truck and you just say go on you A hole bam, sorry I didn't see you, well pay attention! and that was a good part of the day. So I'm out gettin cat after cat and drinkin' a beer. I opened 4 cause I figured that I might need a few +1. The cats have made the switch from cut bait to chicken livers that's why I opened the beers before I baited up. Don't want to accidentally ingest anything worse than medical waste, come to think of it, you should have to have a lisence to use chicken livers. Anyway, I get the lanterns lighted in between fish and finish a beer before tossing out the next round.
The first rod goes fine but, just as I am about to fire the second a big a$$ mosquito bites my neck I lurch and feel the fragile liver pull off my hook, I vaguely hear it land behind me but am too annoyed to pay attention. Before I rebait I get out the Cutter. Probably a bad move because it acts like mosquito viagra and the little pricks were worse than ever. Loss of blood was beginning to take its toll. I flirted with changing my screen name to Wes Nyle for a moment but was brought back to reality by the rather large peice of debris in the huge swallow of beer I undertook. I immediately assumed that it was a garden slug, no problem, a little slimey protien isn't lethal is it? It was right about then that I remembered the chicken liver that flew off on my cast. So here I am getting ready to write my last will and testement, hoping to make it to my 50th birthday. Meanwhile Oprahman is sitting under some tiki hut drinking Sloegin Fizzes watching mosquitoes get zapped in the bug zapper.
How Was your Day?

Their baaack!! I swear this is real. I was out last night catfishin and set my camera on its self timer and shot this pic of myself waiting for a bite. I was stunned when I loaded the photo files onto my computer and saw casper hovering over me like willow-the-wisp. Thank god I didn't see the beastie thing I might have fainted away or run madly through the woods in fear.Ya'all better click the link under the photo. I spent an hour getting it to work. Thanks to webguy for the guidance. Scary ain't It?
