サマリー
あらすじ・解説
For November 28, 2024, the fishing scene on Lake Champlain is looking promising, especially with the fall conditions in full swing.
### Weather and Tidal Report
Today, expect partly cloudy skies with temperatures ranging from the mid-40s to low 50s, which is relatively mild for this time of year. The wind will be light, coming from the northwest at about 5-10 mph. Tides, although not a significant factor on Lake Champlain, will see a slight fluctuation due to the lake's connection to the Champlain Canal, but this won't drastically impact fishing.
### Sunrise and Sunset
Sunrise is at 6:53 AM, and sunset will be at 4:14 PM, giving anglers a good window to catch both morning and late afternoon bites.
### Fish Activity
Yesterday saw a mix of fish activity, particularly with smallmouth bass, trout, and walleye. The smallmouth bass have been active, especially in areas with rocky structures and drop-offs. Trout, including both lake trout and rainbow trout, have been biting well in deeper waters. Walleye have also been caught, often near weed beds and submerged logs.
### Types and Amounts of Fish Caught
Anglers reported catching several quality smallmouth bass, with some reaching up to 4-5 pounds. Trout catches included a few lake trout in the 3-4 pound range and some rainbow trout around 2-3 pounds. Walleye catches were fewer but still notable, with fish ranging from 2-4 pounds.
### Best Lures and Bait
For smallmouth bass, dropshot rigs with soft plastics and crankbaits have been effective. Jigs tipped with minnows or curly tail grubs are also working well. For trout, spoons like Kastmaster or Rapala, and live bait such as minnows or nightcrawlers, are good choices. Walleye are biting on jigging spoons and live bait rigs with minnows or leeches.
### Hot Spots
One of the hot spots is the area around the Champlain Bridge, where the rocky structures and drop-offs attract a lot of smallmouth bass. Another good spot is the northern end of the lake near the town of Ticonderoga, where trout and walleye tend to congregate around the weed beds and submerged logs.
Overall, it's a great day to be out on Lake Champlain, with the mild weather and active fish making for a rewarding fishing experience.
