Lake Champlain Fishing

Smallmouth Bass

Great having Pete out for a few hours this morning. 
He’s on the Jameson board with a 6.69 lake trout. Sorry Pete for catching the double digit fish you needed to catch to clench the number one slot.. 🤷‍♂️ 
The small mouth were mixed in with the lake trout again feeding on the bait balls off shore. They’re both putting on the pounds in those huge schools of bait. Fat fish!!
Ronnie Reyome it’s up to you tomorrow to unseat NYSP Jim from the top slot…
