Archive for June, 2010Northern Champlain June 27thTuesday, 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.

I noticed that everyone was bank fishing. I spent the two days fishing deeper. I found plenty of good size largemouths in 9 to 12 feet of water on drops and around large weed clumps. Large northern pike were also mixed with the bass. I had fished jig and pigs, and stick worms. Majority of the better fish came on Jigs, smaller fish on the stick worms. Best 5 fish on Saturday was 17 lbs, Sunday easy 15lbs, all same size fish, no huge lunkers in either bag. Pike were aggressive, the best 5 pike ranged from 10 to 12 lbs over the weekend. Total fish for the 2 days was 38 bass, 12 northern pike. Lake conditions may come to a change soon as the lake is being treated for milfoil; Hortonia will be closed on June 21st for the application. Just for the record- I am 100% against such treatment on this lake. Posted in General, Hortonia | 1 Comment » Early June on HortoniaTuesday, June 8th, 2010 Went out in heavy rain on Sunday witha young lady ( 13yrs old) to have her catch some pike and bass. She fished hard with a chrome and black rattle trap. Fishing from 6 to 14 feet, she caught 10 pike and 8 Largemouth bass. Larger pike was 6 lbs, largest bass was 3lbs. Despite the cold front a very successful day in the rain. By the end of the day there was no more chrome left on the rattletrap!! Posted in Hortonia | No Comments » St Lawrence & St RegisTuesday, June 8th, 2010 In May I went up to the St Lawrence and St Regis on the Mohawk Reservation. We caught over 40 pike on rattle bugs (chatterbaits). We fished feeder creeks and feeder bays off the main river. Swim baits also produced in shad color. Largemouth Bass were mixed in with the Pike, holding tighter to cover-cover being reeds and Tules. Pike were out away from the bank in reeds and scatter milfoil-cruising the creek channels.
