Mother’s Day!Fished Lake Memphremagog with Norman & Rod today. Morning temps were 42 degrees & the water temps were up to 50 degrees, by noon. It was a sunny day with light west winds. We only fished till about 1:00 PM due to a family lunch. Some big fish were caught and about 20 or so were landed on Jerk-Baits & Fin-S baits. Good day overall!

Fished with Andre & Jim today. The morning air temps were 38 degrees & the water was 43. Calmer water gave way to winds from the N/NW at 15 to 25 gusting to 35 mph afterwards. Waves became 3 to 5 foot in the afternoon. Over 50 Smallmouth Bass were caught mostly on Jerk-Baits, Rat-L Traps & Fin-S baits under extreme conditions. Good day overall!

Fished with Andre & James on Lake Memphremagog today. Water temps were 41 degrees & the morning air temp was 34.Rat-L-Traps & Fin-S baits fished slowly on the bottom accounted for the 25 Smallies caught. N/W winds of 10 to 20 mph made for a cold day. High reached about 42 degrees with overcast skies & occasional sunny periods. Excellent results for these conditions.Plenty of snow still left on the mountains!

I fished with Darren & Al today on Lake St-Francis for Smallmouth Bass. The air temps were in the low 70s & the water temps were in the upper 60s early going into the lower 70s by days end. It was an overcast day with very little sunshine. Soft plastics were used most of the day to catch the 20 or so bass that came aboard up to 3.5 pounds. All fish were released unharmed!
