I don't know how these things work not being a fan of tournaments, but according to the VT fish and wildlife website there are 110 tournaments already scheduled for this summer on champlain, by my count almost 40% of them are on the northern and central part of the lake. I know not all will be open to anyone and a few are based on the NY shore, but it seems there are plenty of opportunities already? Chittenden county bassmasters appears to have almost their entire schedule out of exactly the launches you are talking about.
