I fished with only Joe today as Brian took a little too much sun yesterday. We decided to head to the trophy lake again this morning for a few hours and try our luck once more. Well, we shouldn’t have! I personally missed at least 6 lake trout and Joe missed some as well. Several large smallies were seen once more as we covered plenty of water looking for some takers. By 11:00 we called it quits on this lake and headed for Memphremagog. The weather was a beautiful sunny day with the temps reaching into the 80’s by the afternoon. No wind and surface temps as much as 73 degrees in some places made for aggressive fish. Over 100 smallies and close to 75 perch were caught in a five-hour period. Quite a change from yesterday!

I fished with Brian & Joe today on a trophy lake and saw over 100 huge smallies just swimming around throughout the day. The weather was spectacular with the high reaching into the lower 80’s. Winds were non-existent and the water temps were up to 65 in some areas. The fishing was rather slow & we only caught about a dozen or so bass and lost a few lakers. The pre spawn fish are really traveling around and not really feeding at the moment. Hopefully in the next few days they will pair up and start to become aggressive. I think I’ll try another lake tomorrow.

I fished with Bobby & Francois today on a local lake nearby. The weather was a mix of sun & clouds and the temperatures went up into the mid 70’s by the end of the day. Winds were from the S/SW at about 5 MPH and the water temps went to 60 degrees in some areas of the lake. We missed several lake trout and managed to land about a dozen smallmouth ranging from 3.5 to over 5 pounds. The largest went five & a half even! Most of the fish are so near the spawn that they refused to take most offerings. Overall, we must have seen more than a hundred bass just cruising the drop offs. All things considered, a great day for viewing, but a little slow on catching!

I fished with Dave & Jeff again today, but on another lake for trophy smallmouth bass. The day started with a light drizzle and got worse later. Air temps were in the mid to upper 60’s by the days end and the water temps were close to 60 degrees. There was little to no wind and the sun actually came out in the afternoon. We started out the day with a 5.3-pound smallie and managed to get two more the same size a little later. We also caught several in the 4 pound range and a few over three pounds too. There were also a couple of lakers around 4 pounds caught and a few other missed fish including a brown trout of about 7 or 8 pounds. All things considered, it was a great day on the water with plenty of quality fish.

I fished with Dave & Jeff today on Lake Memphremagog for smallmouth bass. The air temps went to 60 degrees by days end and mostly sunny skies were what we had. When we took off the water, storms were all around us. Electrical skies were lighting up from every direction as we drove back to the motel. Over 50 smallies were caught & released, mostly on jerk-baits. Water temps were up to 60 degrees in some places on the lake and the winds were non-existent. All in all, a great day!
