Happy New Year!!!!
Scott and I launched from Westport - we decided that we'd give the Fishville lakers a break. Ran straight across the lake to SB and set-up on the south end - just got #4 rod out when dipsy went off, as a nice laker came over the rail the starboard rigger fired - another feisty laker - "Hey, this ain't bad, two fish in the first 10 minutes"
We made several north/south runs - most of the fish coming on the south side - getting 1-2 laker bites each lap - Blue Moon was hot to start, but Mooselook WB, Speedi SunRise and CI Belly Dancer soon caught up.
Around 11, we went prospecting up around Diamond Island and to be honest - we should have stayed on SB - we landed a few, not the rate we had earlier to the south.
Ran across to NY side and worked south - a lot fewer fish so back to Basin Harbor and SB - landed several more lakers; to 28" and finished with this 18" sliver that put on quite the aerial show.
Two weeks ago I was on Champlain, Last week I was ice fishing - what does the weather hold for our future - not sure, but - I will be FISHING!

Nice! Now I’m wishing I didn’t close up the house.
