October 10 - North Hero, Jig Fish Baby!
I wish I could fish northern Champlain more often, but it's such a long drive from where I am at the southern end. Anyways, I had an invite from a friend who lives in North Hero, so I headed up there yesterday morning. My hopes were to get a 19" Master Angler smallmouth, but the smallies wouldn't cooperate. Not surprising with the high skies. The day started slow in the Alburg Passage, but we found a few willing biters on senkos and dropshots. All were small, under 2 pounds. After a while, we decided to make a change, and go looking for firm bottom with scattered weeds, and when we did, the size improved. Crawling jigs on the bottom was the ticket, as long as you could feel a hard bottom. Ended up with maybe high 20's for numbers. These were the best of the day.

Wow, looks like a great day on the lake. Those are some nice LM's. Thanks for sharing those pics and info.
For some people it's "one more drink" or "one more bet" for me the lie is "just one more cast"
Re: October 10 - North Hero, Jig Fish Baby!

Hey. There aren't any LM in the North. They are down South.
Nice fish Shawn. That is the second good trip for you this year up North. Thanks for the report and pics.

That's just insane! A beautiful day and monster fish. Maybe some normalcy has returned to our universe. Good post.
