Lake Champlain Ice Fishing
Any of you guys ever been up to lake champlain fishing???? You should try it some winter, it can be a lot of fun especially in the end of Feb. beginning of march. Go for Northerns in the shallows. We caught more that 5 fish just like this in a half day!!!

Yes!!! They're very nice sized northern pike and I've gotten them that size also. But when I go further north like into Quebec I've gotten them a bit bigger and I wish someday I could get 1 mounted along with a muskie also.

Those are some nice pike, AJ...Also EXCELLENT eating if you know how to remove the y-bones from the filets...
I've lived in upstate NY all my life ( Finger Lakes Region) and never even SEEN Lake Champlain...Just never got up around that part of the state.... I understand it is an excellent, diverse fishery...I'll have to make it a point to get over there and fish before I die...

I have lived and fished here all my life and never even seen a musky much less caught one. They are here but not in great numbers. F&W is looking at establishing a fishery for them but I think they have a long way to go.
