  • "Late-Spring Riches on Lake Champlain: Bass, Trout, and Bonus Catches Abound"

    "Late-Spring Riches on Lake Champlain: Bass, Trout, and Bonus Catches Abound"
    May 25 2025
    Artificial Lure here with your Lake Champlain fishing report for today, Sunday, May 25, 2025. It’s shaping up to be another banner late-spring weekend on the big lake, with fantastic action for both bass and trout, and the weather’s lining up just right for anglers willing to put in the time.

    Sunrise was at 5:17 AM and sunset rolls in tonight at 8:23 PM. The skies are mostly clear through the day and winds are mild, with highs in the low 70s and a pleasant ENE breeze at about 6 mph—couldn’t ask for better conditions to get on the water and toss a line before the Memorial Day crowds pick up[3].

    Smallmouth bass are still dominating reports, especially on rocky points and around the islands. Several catches topping 4 pounds have come in, and the largemouth bite is hot too, especially in sheltered bays and weed lines. Plastics—especially green pumpkin tubes and drop-shot rigs—are getting hammered by both bass species. Topwaters and jerkbaits are working early morning and near dusk, so have a walking bait tied on if you like surface action[1][2].

    Lake trout fishing remains outstanding after years of restoration work, with many boats reporting 30-plus fish days out of Plattsburgh and Westport. Most trout are hitting trolled spoons and deep-diving crankbaits fished over 60 to 120 feet of water. Blues and silvers are the hot colors. With the wild lakers rebounding, you’re just as likely to tie into a trophy now as ever before[2][4].

    Other recent catches include some bluefish and even Spanish mackerel, which are notable for Lake Champlain and likely due to unusual water currents or bait movement—these were caught near deeper, open water structures and should be considered bonus targets this week[3].

    For bait, live minnows are still a solid choice for multi-species action, but don’t overlook soft swimbaits and finesse worms for bass. If targeting lake trout, stick to flashy spoons, and troll slow.

    A couple of hot spots right now:
    - The rocky shoals around Valcour Island and the drop-offs off Cumberland Head are stacked with smallmouth bass.
    - Deep structure off Westport and the flats north of Plattsburgh are lake trout magnets—set your downriggers and keep your spoons working just above bottom.

    No tidal swings to worry about today—just changing light and a steady wind—so focus on transitions: dawn, dusk, and areas with a little breeze pushing baitfish onto structure.

    Stay safe, keep your net handy, and tight lines from Artificial Lure. Now’s the time to hit Champlain before the big summer crowds arrive.

  • Lake Champlain Fishing Report: Smallmouth Blitz, Laker Lunkers, and Salmon Surge Ahead

    Lake Champlain Fishing Report: Smallmouth Blitz, Laker Lunkers, and Salmon Surge Ahead
    May 24 2025
    Good morning, Lake Champlain anglers! Artificial Lure here with your fishing report for Saturday, May 24, 2025. The sun rose at 5:13 AM and will set at 8:27 PM, giving you plenty of daylight for a full day on the water.

    Weather today is looking prime with temperatures expected to reach the upper 60s by midday. We've got light westerly winds this morning that should keep a nice ripple on the water - perfect for concealing your approach from those wary fish.

    Smallmouth bass fishing has been absolutely on fire the past week! These bronzebacks are in full pre-spawn mode and aggressively defending territories. Just last week, anglers were reporting 30-40 smallies per trip using Ned rigs and jerkbaits in 8-15 feet of water[2]. The rocky points and drop-offs around the Burlington islands continue to be productive, with numerous 4+ pounders being landed[1]. If you're targeting smallmouth, they're definitely headed to their spawning grounds now[5].

    Largemouth action remains spectacular in the southern sections, particularly around Ticonderoga. Spinnerbaits and soft plastics in watermelon or green pumpkin colors are your best bets according to recent reports[2]. One angler landed a true monster largemouth last week that had the locals talking for days!

    Lake trout fishing continues to impress with reports of some serious action off Plattsburgh and Westport. Anglers have been landing lakers in the 5-15 pound range, measuring 25-59 inches[5]. What's especially encouraging is seeing fewer lamprey wounds on wild lakers compared to stocked fish[3].

    For salmon enthusiasts, the waters off Willsboro have been producing consistently. DB Smelt spoons have been working wonders for trout and salmon anglers[3].

    Hot spots this weekend include the Burlington islands for smallmouth, Ticonderoga section for largemouth, and the deeper waters off Plattsburgh for lake trout. The Salmon River area has also been productive, with recent reports of "on fire" action for both smallmouth and lake trout in very clear water with 6-12 feet visibility[5].

    Water conditions are excellent, with clarity running 6-12 feet in many areas. Soft plastics have been the bait of choice for many successful anglers lately[5].

    With the end of lake trout stocking set to happen after this year, many local anglers are watching closely to see how our wild populations fare going forward[3].

    Remember to check your regulations, practice catch and release when possible, and treat our beautiful lake with respect. This is Artificial Lure signing off – tight lines to all of you!

  • Fantastic Fishing on Lake Champlain: Trout, Bass, and More Biting Strong This Spring

    Fantastic Fishing on Lake Champlain: Trout, Bass, and More Biting Strong This Spring
    May 23 2025
    Artificial Lure here with your Friday, May 23 Lake Champlain fishing report, coming to you at first light from the east shore. It’s a textbook late-spring morning—sunrise came at 6:15 AM and we’re looking at a sunset around 7:27 PM. The weather’s been holding steady with another cool, clear morning in the mid-50s rising to the low 60s later today. Winds are light, water clarity excellent, and water temps are still cool enough to keep both bass and trout hungry and on the move[3].

    Let’s talk fish. The fishing action this week has been nothing short of spectacular across the basin. Lake trout leads the headlines—just last week, boats targeting mid-lake humps and deep ledges between Westport and Cumberland Head reported over 30 trout boated in a single morning, with several over 10 pounds and some topping 15 pounds[1]. Jigging with soft plastics or dead alewife in about 20 feet is producing consistent results. Native fish are showing up in the mix—great news as stocking efforts wind down, and wild fish continue to thrive[1][5].

    The bass bite is also hot. Both smallmouth and largemouth are stacking shallow in pre-spawn staging spots. Smallmouths are thick along rocky drop-offs and gravel points in the southern end near Chimney Point and Charlotte. Jerkbaits, Ned rigs, and drop shots have all been putting up numbers, with some reports of anglers landing 50 or more bronzebacks in a trip[3][4]. For largemouth, the big news this past week was a monster near 8 pounds caught on a lipless Rat-L-Trap. Target docks, weed edges, and warmer backwaters with slow-rolled spinnerbaits, swim jigs, and Texas-rigged plastics for best results[3][4].

    Landlocked salmon are still cruising near river mouths, especially the Winooski and Ausable, hitting trolled spoons and flashy inline spinners. Pike are prowling the shallows in South Bay and Bulwagga Bay, where a big spoon or live shiner is your best bet. Crappie are active too, holding just off the weedlines and biting jigs tipped with minnows[3].

    If you’re looking for a hot spot, don’t miss the deep ledges near Split Rock for trout and salmon. For bass, Chimney Point and the Charlotte shoreline are loaded with hungry smallies—just look for rocky bottom and some current. Down south, South Bay is a pike haven right now.

    No tides to worry about here, just pristine lake conditions and plenty of biting fish. Best baits today: soft plastics for lake trout, jerkbaits and drop shots for smallmouths, Rat-L-Traps for largemouth, and spoons or live bait for pike and salmon.

    Tight lines and enjoy the day—Lake Champlain is fishing at its best right now[1][3][4].
