Captain Scott Thurber delivers exceptional Lake Champlain fishing experiences with impressive results that keep customers coming back.

Trip - Half Day Morning Fishing Trip On Lake Champlain - Trout, Bass And Pike on July 6, 2026

Took my 15 year old with me for a morning of fishing. It was going to be the hottest day of the year, but Scott was able to find us the fish. This was our second trip with Scott and we highly recommend him....

Hired captain Scott to take my son out fishing (while my husband and I tagged along for the boat ride). We all had an excellent time! My son can't wait to go again with Captain Scott next year!

5 hours of excellent nonstop jigging for lake trout. Captain Thurber put me onto fish immediately. Caught too many to count and left them biting.

An exceptional captain, a wonderful host, and an even more remarkable individual. Spending time with Captain Scott was an absolute delight – a sentiment that holds true even without the thrill of catching some impressive Lake Trout! I highly, highly recommend the experience.

Selecting a captain couldn't have been a wiser choice. Their extensive knowledge of Lake Champlain proved invaluable. I plan on reaching out to this captain again in the future. A definite 5-star experience, a truly exceptional individual, and remarkably personable.

Among the three of us, we caught more than I can recall—around 15-17 fish in just over 4 hours. It was an incredible trip, and I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Thanks, Scott! It was fantastic seeing my dad reel in a couple!
