Northern Champlain June 27th

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

Fished northern champlain for a few hours for Pike and then shifted to largemouth bass. Pike were cruising the shallows in 4 to 6 feet, then we moved to a hump with scattered milfoil. The pike were more active on the hump due to the bait fish activity. Caught 10 northern pike and 1 large pickerel. Had a huge Bowfin come up after my clients chatterbait but did not get hooked. All pike came on a chartruese and white chatterbait. Shifting to largemouth we fished stick worms-(green pumpkin) and flukes-(white/silver) through the milfoil, caught 23 bass, largest being just shy of 3 lbs. Weather was a bit breezy with sunny skies. Water temp 72 degrees. Watch a bowfin attack and injure a large sunfish. The sunny floated to the surface where the bowfin made a vicious attack and swam off with the large sunfish in its mouth.

Champlain in November

Friday, December 4th, 2009

November trips on Champlain were quite productive for smallies. Expect to deal with some wind and rough water. A sea anchor was  used a lot to slow drifts. Smallies were bunched up on humps and points, typical places you would expect to find them, however not all humps or points were holding fish. Tubes and jigs produded best. Banged a few on lipless cranks. Fish were holding in 18 to 25 feet. best action was late morning with low light conditions (cloudy)  and a slight chop on the water.
