Black Sea Bass
Targeting Black Sea Bass near Diamond Point, NY, requires understanding the unique conditions of Lake George and its surrounding waters. While technically a freshwater lake, its size and depth create varied habitats. Focus your efforts near rocky structures and drop-offs, particularly where the lake narrows. Black Sea Bass are most active during the warmer months, typically from late spring through early fall. Pay close attention to water temperature, as these fish tend to prefer stable conditions. For access, the Diamond Point public boat launch is a popular option, but be aware it can get crowded, especially on weekends. A key local tip: Black Sea Bass in Lake George often feed on crayfish and smaller baitfish, so mimicking these with your lures or bait can significantly increase your success. Vary your presentation to find the depth they are holding at.
