First trip of the 2025 seasons was a success! These guys are from Pennsylvania and are going home with some great meals of Lake Champlain yellow perch. Double rigs with minnows where key to success on this outing. The addition of a buddy heater was great to warm your hands up from time to time.

It has been a fun couple of days for me! Normally I drive the boat and let everyone one else catch the fish. We are mostly doing scouting trips right now and I was lucky enough to get a 24.5in -6.65 LBS landlocked atlantic salmon yesterday. Went back out today and got a 24.75in - 6.30# salmon today!! Give us a call to get on the 2025 schedule!!! 18023242289Image attachmentImage attachment+7Image attachment
