The Sure Strike Fishing Report Lake Champlain Sportfishing Association Fishin' with Captain Rich Greenough Finesse Fishing By The Bass Coach
|
On September 5th, Jeremy Haas of Colchester, Vermont, 11 years old, became the Junior Angler of the Year for the Green Mountain State Bassmasters. He beat a 15 year old, who had been Junior Angler of the Year for the past 3 years. Both were tied for first place going into the last tournament. To break the tie, the youngster with the largest lunker (heaviest fish) would win. Jeremy’s lunker was a 3.35 lb. largemouth bass vs. the other youngster’s lunker of 3.10 lbs. Jeremy is also a member of the Vermont State Junior Bass Team which travels throughout New England to various tournaments. Having been involved in bass fishing for the past three years, this year is the first time he’s won with two 1st places and a 4th place. Jeremy attributes his success to persistance and lots of time on the water fishing with his family. When Jeremy is not fishing, he is involved in soccer, baseball, street hockey and sailing. He enjoys helping other youngsters learn how to fish. He attends Colchester Middle School and is in the 6th grade. Congratulations Jeremy, on a job well done!

Good Fishing Lake Champlain is a superior lake for both the recreational and sport angler. With a wide variety of species and numerous tournaments, there are many opportunities to not only catch fish but win a prize. The species that inhabit the lake are quite diverse ranging from lake sturgeon, and channel catfish to trout, pike and bass. Some incredible fish have been caught off the docks in Burlington. So, you don't need a fancy bass boat to catch a prize. Cold weather doesn't have to stop you either. Lake Champlain is very productive when covered with ice and is known as the "Ice-Fishing Capital" of Vermont. Give
a man a fish and he eats for a day; teach a man to fish and he'll
sit in a boat with a line over the side and drink beer all day.
