Northern Champlain June 27th

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.
