Good morning everyone. We were on a bucket list lake for almost everybody today. Lake Champlain put in in I don't know about halfway between Platsburg and Taikon Roge. I can't remember the name of the little town I'm in but it's something with a W boat launch. So anyways we are it is just ticking over to time we're allowed to get out there right now so we can take off 30 minutes before local sun rise. So I think local sun rise is like 538 this morning it's like 508 right now so by pulling some rods out to get out there and go fish a little bit a lot of little matted grass around where I'm at right now. I'm gonna try to find some little cuts and stuff with some more high percentage stuff in it you know maybe some man-made structure somehow drill a mix in with that or else I graph around some of these sand flats for some rock piles or something like that so I'm gonna mainly target largemouth this week 100% I'm not 100% committed but I'm like 95% committed to largemouth. I'm gonna also graph around for a couple smallmouth places and see if we can find something like that. Primarily today we're gonna look for that because the structure that's offshore is gonna be a little more consistent for days out you know if I could find some rock piles or you know some kind of a rock vein or a big slate rock somewhere that's gonna be more consistent for a long time whereas if I find a largemouth on a shallow flat they might be gone tomorrow but you know they might so I don't want to wait till close to the tournament to find that so let's get out there right down see we can find anyways. Alright so we didn't have a camera on but try to turn on actually while fighting the fish you can get it to come on but just call like a two-pan small mouth on the little proper plopper set. Keep it rolling. Small little smallmouth. We found a little bit of a brush pile out here. It's really just one tree but pretty tightly packed. I mean it could be a couple trees. I don't know if it's man-made or it float out of that creek and just kind of got large right here but it's about nine foot. I guess I'm over a little deeper than that now. Probably about nine foot. Pretty tightly packed so it looks like he can have one on it. Little bit of a smallmouth. When I graph that border I didn't expect to catch that off of it but oh well. Oh there's a bunch of little bitty ones there. 33 foot on a big old boater. A boat sitting in 38 but that right there is actually like 33. 30 some of that. I hear a bull runing. So I feel a little bit better. Nope, hunk for me. Well, it is a little bit better. It's just a big old rock bass. Big old rock bass. What else is down there? Need to get into the school of four pounders like this. Or at least three. I just give one of these pads right here. Wrong, scary one. Two in a quarter probably. Pike. I'm gonna sit there, hook on and go. I thought I had me some. I did. A pike. These suckers look bigger than they are. I think they're not way but like three pounds. I think they're probably, but he looks big. Might weigh three and a half. But in the past like literally six or seven minutes, this is my fifth one. They're all small like that. Still about to leave them just in case I need them. I mean we're like 80 miles away from takeoff right now. And we're not catching any three pounders. So probably not gonna come here. So I might as well catch a couple more I guess, but I mean there's a lot of keepers right here. I'm gonna weigh it just to make sure. I think it's gonna be down a little bit smaller than two and a half. I'm gonna hang out like a tin-fah. Two and a quarter. Biggest bite I've had so far today. 288, almost a three pounder. It's like a, I don't know, 214. Finally got a big enough there. There's about a million of them over there too. I'm gonna go there for a big ol' champagne, small mouth. I was gonna st. Lawrence all last week. Hardly caught any of this big. Can move here, I still be fishing for Lawrence, man. Find me a good little rock pile and catch me one. So I just had two about this size. Follow up a little bit when I caught. Be 70. That's a good one. When I said local net one I knew it was a big one. Alright guys, so obviously back at the hotel now. This is my first day ever on late champagne. I tried to spend most of my time from, I guess it's called Westport down to below TyConNRoga. And that's a big section of lake. But I'm really looking for something that fits my style where I feel like I can really catch a lot of fish out of one area and really find a pattern or something like that. So I went down to TyConNRoga, fished a lot that day. The mill full of really bad, the water was really low. There was a lot of slime. There was a lot of bad kind of grass. I just didn't like, couldn't find very much good mill full. Did it up catching, I don't know, 14, 15 pounds, maybe 16 pounds all day. Which is not a lot of weight on champagne. So after day one, really had me kind of second guess in my decision to really fish around Ty. So on day two I decided to do something a little bit different. But day one, fish around Ty, didn't do very well. You got to see that. Missed a lot of fish catch some video called a bunch, cranking and stuff like that. Just didn't get them on video. Because I was mostly trying to figure what was going on in this lake. If you all enjoyed the video, leave a like, leave a comment, hit that subscribe button.
