サマリー
あらすじ・解説
Today, November 1st, 2024, Lake Champlain is offering a mixed bag of fishing conditions, making it an exciting day for anglers.
### Weather and Tidal Conditions
The weather is partly cloudy with occasional light rain showers, similar to what we saw yesterday. The temperature is around 50°F, with a gentle breeze out of the northwest. Tides are not a significant factor on Lake Champlain, but the water level is slightly higher due to recent rains.
### Sunrise and Sunset
Sunrise was at 6:43 AM, and sunset will be at 4:33 PM, giving us a good window for both morning and late afternoon fishing.
### Fish Activity
Yesterday saw a decent amount of fish activity, particularly for cold-water species. Lake trout and landlocked Atlantic salmon were active, especially in the deeper waters. For warm-water species, bass and northern pike were also biting, particularly in the weedy bays and submerged structures.
### Catch Report
Anglers reported catching several lake trout in the 3-5 pound range using deepwater jigging and downrigger trolling. Landlocked Atlantic salmon were also caught, with some weighing up to 6 pounds, using lead-core lines. Bass fishing was productive as well, with both largemouth and smallmouth bass caught on a variety of lures. Northern pike and yellow perch were also common catches.
### Best Lures and Bait
For lake trout and salmon, spoons and deep-diving lures worked well. For bass, soft plastics and crankbaits were effective. Northern pike were caught using spinnerbaits and large minnows. Yellow perch were biting on small jigs tipped with worms or minnows.
### Hot Spots
One of the hot spots today is the Willsboro Bay area, where the sheltered Corlaer Bay and the open water of Lake Champlain meet. This area is known for its diverse fish populations and convenient boat launch. Another spot is the Monitor Bay area in Crown Point, New York, which offers access to the southern portions of the lake and has been productive for both bass and pike.
Overall, it's a great day to be out on Lake Champlain, with plenty of fish to target and beautiful scenery to enjoy. Just be prepared for the occasional rain shower and cooler temperatures.
