Sunrise was bright and early at 5:13 AM, and you can expect the sun to dip behind the Adirondacks around 8:40 PM tonight. We’re looking at another classic early summer day on Champlain—expect calm mornings with a mild south wind picking up by afternoon. Water temps are creeping into the upper 50s to low 60s in most areas, with the shallows warming up fastest.
Fish activity is firing up as we settle into this June pattern, especially for bass. Reports from locals and guides around the central lake are confirming up to 20 smallmouth caught in a session, plus a few bonus northern pike when you cover water along those inside weed edges and rocky shoals. Most of those smallmouth are post-spawn, but you’ll still find some on beds in cooler pockets if you stick close to shore at sunrise or sunset. Largemouth are pushing into the thicker beds of grass and lily pads, especially at the south end past Ticonderoga, where you’ll want to pitch weedless frogs and Texas-rigged plastics right into the thick stuff.
For your best shot at smallies, grab a PXR Mavrik 110 Jerkbait in metallic yellow perch or a green pumpkin black Senko worm Texas-rigged—both are producing consistently. Chatterbaits and spinnerbaits have been getting bit when you cover water, especially if the wind’s up. Ned rigs in natural colors are catching both bass and a few big northerns, even one reported at nearly 10 pounds by anglers working the Converse Bay region recently.
If you’re feeling like chasing something a little deeper, lake trout are hot from Westport to Cumberland Head—drop your riggers down 80 to 100 feet and hunt those humps and reefs, dragging spoons or smelt imitators just off the bottom.
Tournament anglers are out in force this weekend, with both the FLW Inland Sea Bass Anglers and Champlain Valley Bass Club hosting big events Sunday. So expect company at the ramps—SWANTON and Larrabees Point will be busy.
For hot spots, Missisquoi Bay is turning up good numbers of both bass species, especially early in the day. Malletts Bay and the Inland Sea are also reliable, with clean water and less pressure. If you like working structure, target docks and rock piles around the islands, and don’t overlook grassy bays for a shot at a lunker largemouth.
Baitwise, if you want to go live, shiners and crawfish are always a Champlain staple, but most fish are being fooled on artificials right now. Topwater frogs and poppers are coming on strong at dawn and dusk.
