VT. trip

[gdn443]

Sat: Hit the water at 5:30 as we did every day to try and get a topwater bight. Went to St.Catherine and only managed 5 bass for the day. Watermelon sencos worked for us this day. Sunday: we headed for champlain on the VT side and got into a topwater bite that got us 6 fish by 9:00am with poppers and sammys. Found a crib by the paper company and pulled another bass. Found two more useing white crankbaits. Monday: Hit Champlain again, but the wind picked up. After getting three on poppers, we headed to Bomaseen and dropshoted one more[#ff007f]. If you launch at the Vt side of Fort Ticondaroga watch for the pileings summeraged in a south wind. [/#ff007f][#000000] Tues: Back to Bomoseen and lost a nice fish at the boat useing a sammy at 6:00 am. Came aropund the south side and smallies were jumping 2-3 feet out of the water straight up. Caught one on a sammy, but no more. Did see a school of pickeral or pike cruiseing, so that may of had them jumping. All this while an eagle chased a hawk. This is why I go to VT. We maneged to get 10 bass for the day, but it was tough. Wed: We fished till 10 at St. Catherine and could only get 2 bass, 2 perch and a small pike. Over all a good vacation, but all fish never got bigger that 14" I've had better numbers up there, so I was disappointed. We'll try again in the spring. [/#000000]

Not that bad as here. The grass is green and they have had rain. Champlain I'm told loses water in a south wind, that it pushes the water north. That must be why we got stuck on the pilelings. LOL
