loons when we had Alewives and the Gulls my little friends for years when we had smelt. Brian Gallagher just moved back in the area from Indiana and Arizona and he and I were of the first Frostbiters back in 1979 ....open boat 18 hp tiller steer and lots of liquid courage.... 
. It is Great to get back out with Brian and today was for sure one to remember...our fishing window was to be 10 -3. I headed south from our private launch in Ferrisburgh where John Fuller and I had located some bait and caught some lakers the other day. Well on the ride down we saw a Big Bunch of gulls diving into the middle of the lake.....
Time to set up here. Well it was a half hour before Brian was able to get the second rod in the water. Much of the day was spent hand lining in fish after fish pretty much even Salmon and lakers...Any lure would do and long line or mini disc, riggers at any depth did not matter either.My highlight came with a 25 inch 6 lb slab of silver that gave a epic battle. Took it on a hammered copper minigun
with purple stripe and black dots.. Available at Middlebury Beef on rt7 south.
Fishville is on the Vermont side, just line up where the Adams farm used to be and where Williams had a camp with the pine tree on the point and you are on it
At 3 PM our go time they still were biting anything that hit the water.
40 fish actually boated and many lost or just shook off to reset the rod. Brian got real good at hand lining e'm in but whined a lot about not bringing his rain gear and me keeping him on the back
Well, we drank no tea and had no lunch either but we both got a great day to get back together ....
Wonderful start on the first day of December!
