Amber's epic lake trout adventure on Champlain waters!
Hot bite and happy crew! Amber and her son joined us for an early morning summer run on Lake Champlain out of Cumberland Head NY. We launched at dawn with partly cloudy skies overhead and perfect water conditions on the lake. The Island grind was definetly worth the early wake-up call as we set out for our 4-Hour Guided Beginner Fishing Charter with Captain Scott on Lake Champlain through Irish Raider Outfitters LLC!!
With our gear rigged and ready, we worked the waters using jigging techniques to target the lake trout. Lake Champlain is great for these methods since the deep structure and varying depths let us cover water efficiently and find where the fish are holding. Amber and Blaine landed some solid lake trout during our session, and the regular run kept us on fish throughout the morning. The bite slowed down after a couple hours after the fish developed lock jam. We wrapped up the trip with great catches and fish smiles all around - totally awesome having this crew out on the water!!
Fish On!!
