Randy Gardinier with a a reproduction of the record pike. The World Record Northern Pike was caught in the Great Sacandaga Lake in 1940 by Pete Dubuc The 46-pound, 2-ounce monster reigned as the planet's biggest pike until 1979, when it was nudged into second place by a European fish. While the odds of catching another 40-something pike in Great Sacandaga appear to be slim, numerous 30-pounders have been verified since Dubuc's time, and trophy specimens in the 20- to 25-pound class are hooked each season. Amsterdam pike expert Ron Kolodziej, who knows the reservoir as well as anyone, is convinced it holds dozens of pike in the 40-pound class. Certainly, the optimum time to nail such whoppers is in May, when many Great Sacandaga pike are still hanging around shoreline spawning areas; but summer fishing can be productive, too. The deeper northeast prong, with the village of Bachelorville on its east shore, is the deeper of the two and therefore the likeliest spot to prospect for trophy pike in summer Read Article Sacandaga Express by L.L.Decker	Dave's Bait & Tackle 24/7 Tackle Shop 247 Bunker Hill Road - Mayfield, NY, 12117 518-863-8318 \| web site	Fishing Forcast Gordon's Marine Web Cam Edinburg Marine Web Cam Lanzis on the Lake Web Cam Beacon Island Cam Ice Fishing Great Sacandaga Lake Fish Species The Great Sacandaga Fishing Cookbook * Note: Boaters and Anglers, please remember that you can help prevent the spread of unwanted aquatic plant and animal species by following these guidelines: Remove all mud and aquatic plants from all gear, boats, motors and trailers before departing from your fishing location Drain all water including bilges, live wells, and bait tanks before departing from your fishing location Do not transport fish from one body of water to another Do not release unused bait into a body of water Do not dispose of fish carcasses or by-products in any body of water Great Sacandaga Lake Fishing Federation DEC** GSLFF Fish Stocking Report NYS Fish Stocking Report Fishing Forecast Lunar Cycles CURRENT MOON moon cycle Fishing T-shirts The Fishing Line Fishing Supplies Boat Launches Marinas Fishing Net Game

	Big Pike Caught in Great Sacandaga Lake Area 2009 13 year old Mitch Akowicz - 22 lbs 46 1/2 inches Misty Morgan 46" 26lbs. Mark Roberts Jr. of Mayfield caught a 47" 29lb. 7 oz pike from the Mayfield Lake. An unusual catch from a small lake it is thought that the levels of the Great Sacandaga Lake were high enough to allow this pike access to it and was kept there after the levels receded last fall. Tim Tambasco of Mayfield caught a 46" 27 lb pike on the Mayfield side of the Great Sacandaga Lake.
