where is the bay????? well let me point the way
West of the Crown Point Bridge, no close launch on the Vermont side so you need tio drive over to port henery and launch there.... If you need directions just call me. this launch is less than 5 minutes from the hottest salmon spot on the lake.
Now once you get there it gets alittle tricky. I highly suggest a good gps with nav chart.... There are many bad things in the bay, those hazard markers are there for a reason!!!! Be smart do not troll over them.... I watched a boat hung up on them for 45 minutes on Wednesday. If you are the type of angler that is just looking to get your two salmon and go home then just have at it.... But the 50+ 70+ salmon day runs have a trend to them..... They do not shut off at ten, they get spooked and move out and in like the wind. You just need to change up your game alittle.
So here is run...
Notice the light area.... This is the deeper water that holds the majority of the bait and salmon.... If you want to catch the stragglers, then wonder all over. The pencil is pointed at the sweet spot.... over 200 fish right there this year aloan.
Here it the bigger photo of the run...
If you look closely there are tacks in the photo..... those are areas that ever time you pass over them.....WHAM! Fish on.
Now the whole light arae is wher i fish, I dont often bother with the shallower water.... there is not as much bait and i am looking for big numbers of salmon not just one or two.
On the water with rods down by 530....Do you really want to get there behind 30 other boat all trying to fish that little narrow area around the point (which is sandy and holds monster browns and salmon all day).
I start out with 1.5 or two colors of lead, a mini dipsi 90 feet back and riggers set at 6-8ft down 68 feet to 115 feet back.
Now if you dont have gold backed spoons with some white in them i do suggest it.... Noisy Boy, white russian and happy hooker have been on fire.... Sikler and chartrouse speedys are great also.... Sausage Gravy Milkshake and fat Ivans... all good.
I dont use sticks or plainer boards.... I dont need them. But just about everyone else does.
Keep working that narrow point area...... back and forth.... You will be into them big! It may take a coupkle couple of passes to dial them in but you should have a 30 fish morning here.
As the crowds show up run allittle deeper, 12-14 feet down 117 on the dispsi and 2 or 2.5 color of lead... fish closer to the deepest part of the channel.... just work that are back and forth... If you dont have board you can make tighter turns and more passes.... which mean more fish...... also the south winds bring weeds out from the swamp, check your lines often.... i pull them and look every turn in a south wind. As teh day gos on.... start loking at some white backed spoons, white and red mossy, rainbow needle fish, frostbite orange..ect
In a north wind the numbers 6 thru 10 are hot with ten being the honey hole, there is an old cement piling on the bottom that comes up like 8 ft off the bottom... (30 feet deep here)the bait stacks up around this and it can be killer.... all rods firing at the same time.
Not sure of what to do give me a call... i will help you out.
