5-Days Fall Canoe Camping In The Adirondacks - Long Lake Pike And Bass Fishing!

What better way is there to celebrate your birthday, than in the woods? In this video I set out solo for a few days on the beautiful Long Lake here in the Adirondacks, before being joined by my buddy Zeke for the last few nights. The Pike bite was not as hot as I originally hoped it would be, but we still got into a few nice Northerns and a slew of Large and Smallmouth Bass. Filmed September 2023.

Another great video. Turning 70 this July, going first solo in spring. Afraid past canoe mates too old, too broken down or unfortunately passed away. Maybe I'll see you in the ADKs this year!

[@DaxWoodsWanderer]

Thanks for watching Greg! If you ever need a guide to help out, let me know!

[@milkmansalamander]

Love your channel. Just got up to long lake yesterday for the week. Hopefully we can get some nice pike!

[@DaxWoodsWanderer]

How did you do on the Pike fishing?

[@dogmom6010]

[@DaxWoodsWanderer]

Sorry for the late reply, when spring kicks off it's a busy time for me. I appreciate you following along!

[@jimwilliams9491]

Dude we were just talking about going up the Cold river in Rondeau territory and seeing what the lean too was all about. We will be there in July for 5 days.

[@DaxWoodsWanderer]

I definitely want to get up into that area with my fly rod this year, get a bit of practice casting at the very least!

[@alanbierhoff6831]

Jay, Texas Rig a Mann’s grape jelly worm on a slow troll in cold deep water for lunker smallies in the bigger lakes

[@DaxWoodsWanderer]

I am going to have to keep this in mind! Thanks Alan!

[@518outdoors6]

33, wow your a young man living the dream! Good for you. I’m 53 and went the way of a desk job. I won’t say I regret it but I’m hell bent now I’m spending as much time as possible in the outdoors while my body still works. Here’s to ice out! Cheers!

[@DaxWoodsWanderer]

Ice out cannot come soon enough! Thank you for watching, and the kind words!

[@davidaustin2093]

You continue to impress, Jay. Just love your content and style, buddy. The best.

[@DaxWoodsWanderer]

I appreciate that! Thanks for watching!

[@Putt-Putt-Vroom]

Happy Birthday, Great video and thank you for sharing. I have to checkout Long Lake and looks very nice We moved to the Lake George area 5yrs ago. So far checked out paradox lake, trout lake, luzerne, Fourth Lake, glenlake and did some island camping on LG. So much beautiful scenery and cool lakes up here to explore.

[@DaxWoodsWanderer]

You should! The whole area out Long Lake way makes for great exploring! Thanks for watching!

[@ADKAddicts]

Great trip and got some tank bass. Can’t wait to get out with you soon this year. It’s coming quick.

[@DaxWoodsWanderer]

Can't wait!

[@adkhiker46bill14]

Happy belated birthday Jay! Another nice video and it looked like a great trip.

[@DaxWoodsWanderer]

Thank you, Bill! Looking forward to ice-out!

[@gobblersroostadventures1388]

Cool video! I really enjoyed it!

[@DaxWoodsWanderer]

Glad you enjoyed it! Cannot wait to get back at it this year!

[@TheTazeric]

Nice. I’ve done a lot of canoeing in my 20s back in the day up your way trout fishing in all kinds of different weather for sure every spring. 52 now and work way too much watching these videos on my breaks. Just ordered one of those mule coolers and I’m going do my first solo trip this spring. ❤ 🏕️ 🎣. Blessed buddy 👍🏻

[@DaxWoodsWanderer]

Very cool! Thanks for watching! You will like the cooler, it works great!

[@geraldpiacenza8942]

The fact that you are in the Adirondacks is totally cool. Like your channel and style. I know you like the lean 2’s any suggestions pre Memorial Day where I could grab one? How do you know you have a small mouth on the line?

[@OutdoorAdventures197]

Sweet video! What’s your biggest pike out of long?

[@Sailor-Man-Dave]

Happy Birthday!! We'll be on Long Lake in mid-July. How to contact you about guided fishing trip? I know what you mean about your birthday. I'm still 22 in my head, and it's scary to look in the mirror and see 66. If you like Nessmuk, you'll probably enjoy "An Adirondack Passage: The Cruise of the Canoe Sairy Gamp" by Christine Jerome. Tight lines!

[@DaxWoodsWanderer]

Thank you! If you are looking into a guided canoe trip with me, give Adirondack Mountain & Stream a call and talk to Jamie. He owns the outfitter I work for and can get the basic details down before we plan anything. www.adirondackmountainandstream.com/

[@lastofthebohicansbowles5262]

I hope Zeke brought the whiskey

[@DaxWoodsWanderer]

He was a life saver!

[@jeffpiester3221]

Hey. I am a subscriber and this may sound like an odd question but did you used to travel up long lake in a canoe and power it with a little gas motor to take you up into raquette and cold river?

[@DaxWoodsWanderer]

No that is not me, never put a motor on my canoe before. Thanks for watching!

[@River.Rambler]

What do you use for the transducer mount? I have struggled to find something with a retractable arm like that. Would love to know make and model. Thanks for the content!

[@myronbenware4452]

Where do you park your cars when you are out on the lake for so many days?

[@DaxWoodsWanderer]

Stephanie and I actually live close enough that she can just drop me off and pick me up wherever the canoe takes me.

[@alanbierhoff6831]

Jay, check out an article in the Adirondack Explorer publication (online) titled: *DEC mulls baitfish restrictions to protect brook trout habitat By Zachary Matson March 22, 2024*

[@lastofthebohicansbowles5262]

Jay where did you get your cooler backpack?
