Keep it going Captain Adam

Way to go Captain Adam!

We had a day to remember. Both my trips today started out plaque with banana’s! 🤦‍♂️ fishing started out not so good. After getting rid of them,  things still didn’t seem quite right. Ahh “ we have banana sandwiches”!! We cleansed the boat and the fish began to bite. So well, I would probably make sure I didn’t bring bananas fishing!!!🤷‍♂️ This was times two, identical situation on both trip. We end both trips with nearly 20 fish landed.Image attachmentImage attachment+Image attachment

You need to put up a sign saying No. bananas. Allowed

Bananas will ruin the trip for sure!

Rookie move with the banana

The bass and pike were biting good on the casting and jigging boat today! Always fun to get multi species in one outing! Call to get a charter scheduled, you don’t wanna miss out on the action. Image attachmentImage attachment+5Image attachment
We had another great morning trip today! This group did a trip on the Small Boat casting and jigging earlier this week. They landed lots of sheepshead and some smallmouth bass. Today they tried out trolling! Lots of hookups today. Several Lake Champlain lake trout were landed. Thanks for choosing Sure Strike Charters for your Lake Champlain charter fishing experience!Image attachmentImage attachment+6Image attachment
We had an awesome sunrise this morning! The lake trout ran a little bigger on average today. Two separate times we went 5/5. We were also lucky to get another landlocked Atlantic salmon.Image attachmentImage attachment+Image attachment

Got three lines in the water this morning and a landlocked Atlantic salmon struck the line. We got our biggest trout today on a northeast troller spoon. We have been using them daily and they have been holding their own in the spread. The lake trout fishing has been phenomenal!Image attachmentImage attachment+Image attachment
