Lake Champlain United - Forums

For a minimalist experience my boat is on stand by, otherwise looking forward to fishing on my partners!

Hey Guys,
Thanks for organizing this again. It's always a lot of fun.
As others have posted, I signed up as a "no boat", but can change if necessary.
My vessel is open and can get a bit chilly early in the season. I may also be hard pressed to get it out for a shakedown run prior to the event.
I look forward to seeing everyone again getting another season underway.
See you then. Tim Bird aka:Early Bird

So you can see by the number of posts I'm sort of new here. I do have a boat and I did sign up with a boat. I'd prefer that I go on someone else's boat though or that someone with some good experience comes with me on mine. I've been fishing for about 50 years which only leaves a few that I haven't been in my life. I know lake Champlain fairly well I think I've hit everything that I could have by now. BUT I do not know where the salmon are and at what depths etc. So salmon fishing is new to me although like I said I have been fishing my entire life for species like Bluefish, Bass, Trout, Lake Trout etc. I do have down riggers and and some electronics so really it's a knowledge thing that I need and am looking for. I am trainable as I learned how to use the toilet at an early age and recently learned how to pickup after myself. So someone who wants to dump some knowledge would be a perfect fit for me even though I know it's a random pick.

Welcome aboard dw61!!! Either way you go, if you launch from Converse and have a VHF radio, just turn to ch68 and you will hear what is working for speed, depth and lure colors... We are a bunch who like to share to get everyone on the bite!

I will usually have the draw two weeks before so you can practice and no you dont have to be present but it is fun.

Thanks.

deadline is the tenth when we draw.

Signing up as 'no boat', but can use mine if need be, (small).

Dean, due to a late planned trip to Lake Ontario the week before the derby I will not have a chance to do a shake down cruise on Reelax before the derby, so I had better go as "No Boat" for this time around to be safe...

Thanks,

I signed up as no boat but can easily break it out if needed.

I'm hoping to make to the drawing this year.

Fixed !

But there is a problem: more "No Boat" than "Boat"
