Several competitors spun tales of thrilling rides in 5- to 8-foot waves, but the most exciting moment for Scott Siller was weighing in a 20-pound limit to take the pro division lead in the Bass Pro Shops Northern Open at Lake Champlain.
The Bassmaster Elite at the Delaware River, Aug. 7-10, 2014, promises to be an historic occasion in a couple of particulars.
Last time I said we’d talk this week about how Lake Champlain fishes. When I thought about it, though, I realized that it fishes pretty much like everywhere else except that it splits the smallmouth and largemouth populations.
Although the smallmouth don’t grow quite as big as Champ is purported to be (20 feet long, thick as a barrel with the head of a horse), the fish are certainly easier to find and catch.
Perhaps one of the most serene and remote places where both smallmouth and largemouth lurk in the state, you are as likely to stumble upon a moose here as another angler.
Some call this area of the St. Lawrence River the most beautiful place on the planet.
There is nearly 80 square miles of water to angle here, and fishermen get to choose from both smallmouth and largemouth.
For anglers who prefer largemouth, target the shallow, weedy sections of Cayuga, Otisco and Consensus lakes.
Local anglers ply these waters for the world-class muskie fishing found here.
Anglers can catch bronzebacks from the rock jetties just outside the marina harbors to 40 miles out in Lake Erie.
