White and chartruese spinnerbait in windy grass flats. Bites seemed to get bit more in clearer water. I don’t think the brand matters. The one I threw that day was a gold willow with a small silver Colorado. Work it through the grass and rip it through when it gets hung up. Hawg farmer spunk shad for a trailer.

Started fishing a year ago and finally caught my first 5 pounder! (5lb 2oz). Overcast, windy and cool afternoon here in Vermont. Caught this beauty on my second cast using a Megabass spinnerbait with half a plastic worm as a trailer.

The largemouth had really started relating to Champlains flooded bushes and trees and the no jack was the ticket today. In places they had the alewives pushed up into them. Did get a couple on a spinner bait but the alewives were chasing it and fouling the blades a lot. The switch to the swim jig was the deal.

The key of the day was to find areas of hard bottom in 4-6 feet of water with the start of new growth vegetation. Slowly creeping the swimbait along keeping it just above the bottom and even dragging it on the bottom sometimes was the ticket. If you didn’t make some contact with the bottom you would not get bit. If you thought you were reeling too slow then you needed to reel even slower. Killing the bait on the retrieve would also produce a bite here and there. Flashy Swimmer an absolute must. 30+ fish day! All quality fish!

Recently stocked with Largemouth Bass, this little hidden gem offers a fun day of fishing for anyone who enjoys kayak or canoe fishing. You won’t find anything over 3 pounds in here but the fish that are in here are highly aggressive and a range of baits can be thrown successfully. These fish tend to key on green pumpkin colors as well as black and blue. The summer topwater bite is next world here. Micro poppers and ploppers work best. Be ready though as these fish have no problem pulling you into underwater brush piles and breaking you off.
