I was back on the water once again with my wife Christiane today on Lake Memphremagog. We met Jeff, from Mass at the boat ramp while getting ready and decided to show him a little bit of the lake. As the new owner of a beautiful, Ranger bass boat, he was eager to learn the lake, having never been on it before. I thought it would be a good idea to have him follow us around for a while, get a feel of this body of water and catch a few smallies. The weather wasn\u2019t too good as we had a light drizzle with low visibility and 15 knot winds from the north for our run across the lake. The air temps were in the mid 60\u2019s and the water temps were 57 to 61 depending on where we were. Christiane landed the first bass of almost 4 pounds on a fin-s tipped jig, but the fishing was real slow for this area. There were only a few more bass landed in a half hour or so, so I decided to relocate to an island nearby. Both boats split up as we went in opposite directions around the island. There were about 10 fish hooked between us, but nothing great. Another area across the lake amongst big boulders and rocky shoreline produced about a half dozen or so fish before we parted ways. Christiane & I headed north and managed to get into another 20 or so bass before calling it a day at 3:30 PM. Most of the fish were caught on jigs in slightly deeper water of 15 feet, but there were plenty of others taken on jerk-baits once the sun came out later in the day. The high water and lack of visibility has definitely slowed the fishing as the total numbers at the end of the day have shown. Hopefully with all the nice, sunny weather on the way, the fish will become more active. Still a good day with over 30 bass caught & released today!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
