Nice to see you out there. We started off with the usual shakedown fun courtesy of a newly installed fuel water separator.

Thanks for the great pics.
After 2 years of waiting, we are ready to fish South of the Border in April.

Glad to have you back!

Be Safe.

Has anyone checked conditions at the inland Sea? I haven't been out that way

Locked up as of yesterday. A few leads forming through Keeler.

Some shots of Keeler and Malletts from the air during this morning's flight lesson. Keeler is coming along nicely and Malletts Creek is doing its thing. Gonna be a bit for Outer and Inner Malletts Bay although the cut was open with a clear brown water line from Winooski river being pushed north. Sor...

Anyone been out of the Converse Bay launch yet? Is it ice free? Thanks!

Wonder if I can get under the bridge from the Outer Bay.
I'm a couple feet taller with new top.

GAS IT!

Worst case you'll be back where you were... a couple feet shorter.

Thanks - will do!

Here's another video I shot earlier in the year that you folks might like:

Fished yesterday AM (4/19) out of South Hero. Docks still not in at Guilmette launch. Ice still present from just east of the sandbar bridge to Georgia shore. Some ice present southeast of Keeler bay mouth. Water temps 36-38 through Keeler. No hookups, but did see a silver jump clear behind another ...

Working on that... now to catch some fish. Hoping to get some topwater fly fishing shots.

Monster!

Just an FYI for you guys who like to listen to baseball games on the radio: pretty much all modern cell phones have an FM radio receiver built in, you just need to connect it to an external speaker through the headphone jack, and the 3.5 mm jack cable functions as the antenna. It works really well ...

So where did you launch from? Last I'd seen the Lamoille was open, but the inner bay still had loads of ice, including Mallett's launch. Winooski is open, but way too much debris coming out. Would like to get out and do a shakedown run after putting up all winter... Winooski River launch. Wasn't to...

I have fished that area a few times but am not familiar with the buoy what does it mark? It's most likely the green buoy (51) indicated on this map (red arrow) marking the shallow edge of the Otter Creek mouth. DiamondIslandOtterCreekGreenBuoy.png Can anyone confirm?

I have a bluetooth speaker that I always bring that gives the crew a chance to play any music they like off their phones... I absolutely don't think it hurts the bite at all... Conversly we always say " this is a good fish catchin song" when specifics tunes play, and they work! IE: "...
