    Lake Champlain??

    Hi guys, I'm heading up to Lake Champlain for my first time ever, I'll be there June 10 - 14th just for pleasure fishing with a few friends. We're going to be staying in North Hero, Vermont area. Can anyone tell me what's working right now or will be in a week? Will the bass be pre-spawning or are they on beds now?

    Thanks for any info.

    Some pre spawn , some done , some on beds ,.... I would use tubes , shallow cranks , soft Jerk baits , spinner baits .. fish around the rocks and gravelly flats. It will fish good . The bigger bedding smallies will be in deeper water. Good Luck!

    Tony we fished Butler Island on the east side at northern point & into the bay. We caught a couple good ones in there using drop shot & Senkos.
