Lake St. Catherine Brown Trout

The Trout fishing on LSC is hit or miss....HERO or ZERO.....but when you connect they are big ones. They are well fed on Alewifes and almost all of them have been over 3lbs. This one below is a 21" football at 5 lbs.

Tons of safe ice

We fished Burr pond yesterday. There was over 14" of ice. Over the weekend, I was on Champlain and guys were driving all over it. The perch and pike are biting really good. Yesterday we did big numbers of perch and 5 pike. I smell a perch fry tomorrow night!

Lake St. Catherine Trophy Brown Trout

Lake St. Catherine is producing some Trophy Brown Trout. I would not want to have beginners or children on trout trips. For Trout, you need to be set up in low light periods and there will not be alot of flags. With family groups, I like to target perch, pike and bass.

We have a decent 7 day forecast....lets go fishing boys....some time this week I'm going to put the light down for some night bite Crappies. I have plenty of time and dates.....call me.

FAMILY FUN FOR EVERYONE

Father and son icefishing trip to Lake St. Catherine

My son Nick and I got a chance to actually icefish yesterday for a couple hours. Nick's pike came on a large shiner off a tipup and was about 32". This Pike was SKINNY....he must not know where the alewives are. We missed a couple flags with big bait and had "a run and a drop". I caught my Largemouth on a Hali spoon with mousie grubs fished off a 27" rod with 4lb test. The Bass was about 18" and was a challenge to get through a 6" hole with such light tackle.
