We kicked off the day at 5:13 AM with sunrise over a glassy lake, and sunset’s coming up at 8:17 PM—plenty of daylight to chase fish across these legendary waters. The weather’s holding beautifully today: highs in the upper 60s to low 70s, mostly sunny with a gentle south breeze at 5-10 mph. There’s no tidal swing to worry about, just classic Champlain summer patterns. Water temps are pushing into the upper 60s, and fish activity is hot all across the board.
Smallmouth bass are still the main act right now. Recent reports from guides and local anglers say the smallies are aggressive and plentiful along rocky points, gravel flats, and drop-offs, especially around Valcour Island, Willsboro Bay, and Shelburne Bay. Most catches are solid 2–4 pounders, with the occasional 5-pound bruiser making an appearance. Tube jigs in green pumpkin and drop shot rigs with finesse worms are still top producers. If you’re hunting cruisers mid-morning, tie on a PXR Mavrik 110 Jerkbait in metallic yellow perch for some explosive strikes, according to Omnia Fishing and daily updates from guides.
Largemouth are picking up steam, especially in sheltered areas like Mallets Bay and La Moille Bay. The last couple days saw good numbers on spinnerbaits—chartreuse and white is the ticket—and chatterbaits in blue, white, and silver. The trick is working the outside weed lines where dark water meets the grass. A Ned rig with a Helggermite or a classic Senko will also bring in some chunky fish. The central region from Crown Point up to Converse and around the Town Farm Bay has been a little tough, with muddy water reducing visibility, so best to focus on the northern stretches if you want that clear-water bite.
Lake trout action is holding steady as well, particularly from Westport to Cumberland Head. These lakers are deep—think 80 to 100 feet, right above the bottom, chasing rainbow smelt. Electronics are a must to stay on the fish, but when you find them, vertical jigs and spoons are putting plenty in the boat.
Panfish—especially crappie and perch—are lighting up the protected bays. Early morning and late evening are primetime on small jigs and live minnows.
Hot spots for today:
- Valcour Island for smallmouth on finesse rigs
- Mallets Bay for active largemouth with spinnerbaits
- Westport to Cumberland Head humps for deep lake trout
No tides to report, but with these warming temps and long days, expect fish to be most active early and late.
