Lake Champlain United - Forums

I am coming up this week to fish, we are staying in a lake side cottage just north of Ticonderoga. I am going for Largemouth bass. So far the plan is:

Spinner Bait (bronze and silver blade, white and chartruish and mixture)
Black and Blue Jig
Senko (green pumpkin)
Creature Bait (green pumpkin)
Crankbait
Frog
Buzzbait (white/chartruish)



I am wondering where the fish have been holding lately and are they still close to shore? Grass and weeds and reeds? Some spawn still going on? I was wondering if anyone had any reports maybe you guys could PM me?? I mainly throw a jig and spinnerbait and frog when fishing Champlain.

I would love to just flip and pitch and fish the thick stuff and reel in some hogs (doesn't everyone? LOL).


Thanks for any help!!!

Also a chatterbait I will run..........

Just got back from 2 days at Ti. Fishing was very good. That line up will work for sure, as will flippin to holes in mats. After this cold front things may change - But the bass were cooperating for us. Water temps in the 70's mostly, even saw 80 degrees surface temp in one spot on Sat.

Sent you a PM, thanks!!!

So we were on the water for about 2 hours, me and SteveP.

Air temp: 51 degrees

Water temp: 64 degrees

Wind was at 15-20mph and a light rain in the beginning.

We threw jig, spinnerbaits, chatter bait, fluke, meps spinner, worm


We fished from 7pm to 830pm after making the 5 1/2 hour drive. Caught 6 fishin in that span of time, best one going at 6lbs.

I am 6'4 230 for size reference.......
