Lake George NY is iced out by the end of April and lake trout are feeding on top near the feeder streams and brooks gorging on smelt. Also salmon in the mix but verry spotty.
Capt JJ on Rod Bender I have used a few times and he always has put me on fish.
He runa a trip motel combo which the hotel is on the lake but not sure of the dock fishing at this area.
I have a time share up there and do quite well off of my dock with lake trout primarily because there is a feeder stream along the property line that holds smelt and the trout stage in front of that stream.
200 miles and 3 hours from NJ.
April is off season so hotel can be found easily and reasonably cheap.
Mabey hit a few rivers and streams along the way and heading back.
Roscoe NY has a good river trout fishery as well as many others rivers in that area.
