Lake Champlain DNA strand?

[VTgooseman]

Came across this cloud of bait yesterday and thought it was strange but very cool! Has anyone else ever seen anything like this before?

[browntown]

That is cool and strange.

Did you pick up any fish over it?

[VTgooseman]

Yes, Lakers were hugging the bottom of the bait. At first I thought I was getting a funky reading so I went back over the same spot and same thing showed up.

[raz]

That's the coolest bait I've seen.

[Ludo]

Champ ?

[karl]

Surprised to see almost 60* water temps so early...practically swimming temperature...

Was this the Southern part of the Lake?

[sanman]

that's great! textbook double helix.

[VTgooseman]

This was down south near Converse. Any thoughts on what kind of bait would school like this? It was a huge school of bait, I would say it was easily 30 yrds long {I took waypoints at either end of the bait} of the same pattern. I wish I would have shot a video so you guys could have seen it.

my guess is they were alewives and the pattern is indicative of them being chased by gamefish
