My brother and a buddy came up and fished again Colchester Point south towards Starr Farm Beach.
Laker bite has been red hot. I was due for a skunk because i told him the bite was good. Two mornings
this past weekend resulted in 17 lakers best 32 inches with a 30. Average fish was 26 all C@R.
Jointed rapala j13 has been hot but this weekend live target smelt was the go too bait. Fishing 15 to 22 fow.
Guy out in a 17 foot red lund was having a blast along side of us.
Incredible fishery

Re: Lakers
Thanks for the report TRT, glad to hear you got the laker bite dialed in... Way to many of them in the lake right now IMHO... They smoke up good, so maybe keeping em will be an option..
Fish on!
Fish on!

Re: Lakers
Thank you - happy to share information, I took neighbors out and hope to take some kids out.
Big strong fish in shallows, great fishing and just for perspective. I went out Deep Sea fishing on a cattle
boat (2 90 footers and a 65 footer Hampton NH) Monday before the great fishing on LC. An average laker would have won the
pool on any of the three boats 125 cattle fishermen 2 hours out for haddock. Yes slow bite, cod have to be thrown back and
no pollack around. 4-6 pound cusk won the pool on all three boats with 3-4 pound haddock being big..Uggh
Great fishing on Champlain

Re: Lakers
Charlie, is that you? Welcome to the forum and glad you got into the lakers! My son and I had a blast out off Colchester Point a couple of weeks ago. I've got a co-worker that wants to go fishing some time .... I'll have to bring him out there before the water warms up (which doesn't seem to be any time soon!).
Re: Lakers
HI Crayfish,
Yep same Charlie TRT from shanty. I fish a lot of different waters over the course of the year but
love the laker bite on LC. Hope you and pb are well.

Re: Lakers
Thanks, we are. Perchbait is finishing up his junior year at UVM, so he doesn't have as much time to fish as I do. I end up doing a lot of solo trips, which aren't as much fun but I still enjoy getting out. I'm hoping to take a buddy from work out to Colchester Point Thursday afternoon, work and weather permitting.
Good luck!

Re: Lakers
Sure I haven't been out in a week and a half. Glad to have you share my boat, let me know if/when available.
