Sunrise Bass Bonanza: Early Morning Thrills on Lake Champlain

One for the books today! I took Devin out for a fantastic summer morning of fishing with Irish Raider Outfitters LLC.

As we headed out, I could already tell it was going to be a great day for chasing some smallmouth bass.

With our gear rigged and ready, we got straight to work. I decided to mix things up and use a variety of techniques to give Devin the best shot at landing some fish. 

Throughout the morning, we focused our efforts on targeting smallmouth Devin got to experience the thrill of battling these hard-fighting fish. The clear conditions made for some exciting visual fishing at times, as we could occasionally spot bass following our lures. We wrapped up the trip with smiles all around, having enjoyed a productive morning on the water.

Awesomer run with a great couple this evening.! The fish were on every way point and starting to stack up. However, they chased our presentations on every spot with only a few willing to take a bite. The water temps are increasing and the fish are setting up on the summer grounds.

Smallmouth Smashes and Scenic Vistas: An Unbeatable Day on Lake Champlain

We had a fantastic afternoon on the water with Jennifer's crew for our Seasonal PM 4 hour trip on Lake Champlain. Even though the weather started a bit cloudy, by the time we got out on the lake, it had cleared up nicely - perfect for an afternoon of fishing.

We started out with some lake trout jigging but the fish failed to clise the deal. Switched it up to some small mouth bass haunts an closed the deal on a few smallies on top water and jerk baits. Water conditions were stained from recent rain storms making the sight fishing on spawning beds tough. These lads are definetly fishermen!!

Fish On!!

Thank You Jennifer!!
