thanks for the advice guys, it's appreciated. David, I know you have a lot of experience fishing in the adirondacks, where else within a half hour of Tupper is better? If there are better places within driving distance, I'd love to chck them out that week. My entire future in-law side of the family live in the adirondack park, and they all fish like it's their jobs. They have taken over a dozen 10+ lb walleyes over the years at Tupper, and they all claim it to be one of the better walleye lakes in the area. The DEC also has it on their website saying they have found multiple 15+ lb fish there, and that they feel the next state record is in Tupper lake. What other adirondack lakes would you go to??
