  • July 7th Lake Champlain Fishing Report: Smallmouth Crush It, Largemouth Lurk in Weeds, and Walleye Bite at Dusk

    July 7th Lake Champlain Fishing Report: Smallmouth Crush It, Largemouth Lurk in Weeds, and Walleye Bite at Dusk
    Jul 7 2025
    Artificial Lure here with your July 7th, 2025, Lake Champlain fishing report, bringing you the sweet and salty news from both the Vermont and New York sides of the kingdom. Settle in, because it’s early summer prime time and the bite’s popping hotter than a cast iron skillet on the Fourth of July.

    Let’s talk weather. Today’s been classic July—warm afternoon highs around 82°F, partly cloudy, with a gentle southerly breeze nudging five to eight knots across the main lake, calming down some of that midday chop. Water temps are up in the low 70s in most of the bays and stretches, perfect for both smallies and largemouth to stay aggressive. Sunrise hit this morning about 5:17 AM, sunset’s sliding in at 8:36 PM—long daylight means lots of fishing opportunity, especially for you after-work warriors.

    Now, the Champlain fish activity has been stellar this week. According to the Lake Champlain, Vermont/New York Daily Fishing Report podcast, smallmouth bass are still on a tear, with post-spawn wolfpacks cruising shallow rocky flats and points. Recent derby numbers show three-day totals topping 60 pounds, and multiple bags over 20 pounds per day—Cortiana just locked up a Major League Fishing win with 64 pounds of smallmouth, all caught within the past 72 hours.

    Largemouth are lurking in the weedbeds on the east side near Sand Bar and Missisquoi Bay, with topwater frogs and Senkos drawing strikes in the slop, especially early and late. Panfish, especially yellow perch and bluegill, remain active in deeper weedlines—perfect for families and beginners working around the islands.

    Best baits right now? For smallmouth, it’s hard to beat a mix of the Berkley PowerBait MaxScent The General wacky rigged on a 2/0 hook and the Berkley Flatnose Jerk Shad on a light jighead—major winners in the recent tournaments. Crankbaits are back in style too, with the Berkley Frittside 5 in ‘lone ranger’ color tempting big smallies off mid-depth rock piles and transition points. For largemouth, go with a hollow-body frog or a classic Texas-rigged creature bait pitched into those thick weeds.

    If you’re into topwater, try a Berkley J-Walker or your favorite spook-style bait right at sunrise and sunset over shallow shoals and docks—explosive strikes have been the talk all week. Minnows and soft plastics are also pulling in some quality walleye at dusk, especially south towards the Crown Point Bridge.

    A couple of hot spots for tonight and tomorrow: The Inland Sea’s southern edge near Burton Island has been loaded with smallmouth, and around the Willsboro Bay area on the New York side, decent numbers of smallies and the occasional bonus salmon are coming on tubes and flukes. Don’t forget the mouth of the Bouquet River—it’s running a little low right now, but always holds a mixed bag, especially when the wind lays down at sunset.

    No tidal swing to worry about out here, but watch the wind—it can push warmer surface water and bait into certain shorelines, so follow the birds and you’ll likely find the big ones.

    That’s the scoop from Artificial Lure for July 7th on Lake Champlain. Thanks for tuning in and don’t forget to subscribe for daily updates and hot tips. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

  • Lake Champlain Bass Bonanza: Lures, Tactics, and the Latest Fishing Action

    Lake Champlain Bass Bonanza: Lures, Tactics, and the Latest Fishing Action
    Jul 6 2025
    It’s Artificial Lure coming to you with your July 6th, 2025, narrative fishing report for Lake Champlain, straddling the Vermont and New York border.

    Bright sunshine dominated most of the day, with temps sitting in the comfortable mid-70s and a gentle northwest breeze keeping things fresh. Sunrise rolled in at 5:21 AM, and sunset will dazzle at 8:38 PM, giving us a generous window to work the water. After a recent cold front, the lake was finicky in spots, but the bite stayed steady for anglers willing to adjust.

    Let’s talk fish. Bass are the current stars of Lake Champlain, both smallmouth and largemouth showing up in numbers and size. Yesterday, just up north, pros and locals alike hauled in bags over twenty pounds, with Bryan LaBelle landing a five-bass limit topping 22 pounds, 15 ounces to clinch a win in a weekend derby. The shallows have held plenty of action, and bites were reported consistently from north to south, especially where milfoil and rock mix close to drops or current seams. Mixed bags included the odd hefty walleye and even a sturgeon or two for the lucky few, but bass are the big draw.

    Bait and lure selection has been crucial. Locals in the know have been rolling with a few top producers:
    - Texas-rigged soft plastics like the 4- to 5-inch Damiki Stinger or perch-colored Senko worms. Go subtle on those pressured spots—natural greens and browns outperformed flashier colors.
    - Drop-shotting goby-hued shad shape worms or Roboworms around 12-15 feet of water found shy smallmouth hugging the bottom, especially as the day warmed.
    - Carolina rigs, especially with a short, 1-foot leader and a green pumpkin Zoom Speed Craw, delivered when fish weren’t chasing. Drag slow across gravel or sand.
    - For surface action, the brown SPRO frog was unbeatable in heavy weed mats, and a Strike King Sexy Dawg or Lucky Craft Gunfish produced those wild topwater strikes during the early morning calm.

    Don’t forget the swim jig paired with a craw trailer—green pumpkin with a dash of orange claw did best—when working transition areas where weeds thin out into bare bottom.

    Hot spots today included the mouth of the Bouquet River where current and bait meet, and the milfoil lines off the mouth of the Missisquoi Bay, particularly at first light. Both regions coughed up numbers and some real bruisers. If you’re hunting for consistent action, don’t overthink it—work windblown points with healthy grass and swap between finesse drop-shots and heavier jigs as conditions shift.

    On the tidal front, Champlain isn’t tidal, but keep an eye on wind-driven current and inflows like the Bouquet and Ausable rivers. They’ve kept fish active and bait moving, especially after rains.

    Overall, today anglers reported steady catches, with several describing it as “another day in paradise” despite some tricky wind and the lingering effects of last night’s cold front. Expect the bite to get hotter and more aggressive as the week progresses and the water warms back up.

  • June 22, 2025 - Smallies Dominate Champlain as Summer Patterns Emerge

    June 22, 2025 - Smallies Dominate Champlain as Summer Patterns Emerge
    Jun 22 2025
    Artificial Lure here with your Lake Champlain fishing report for June 22, 2025, covering the heart of Vermont and New York’s premier big water.

    We’ve got sunrise this morning at 5:13 AM and sunset holding steady around 8:40 PM—plenty of daylight for long drifts or a few hours of evening dock casting. The forecast calls for bluebird skies and a gentle northwest breeze, with morning temps in the high 50s rising into the upper 60s by late afternoon. The main lake is running cool for June, with surface temps near 54°F, but the sun is warming up those shallower coves—exactly what you want for a variety of summer bites. Lake Champlain, being non-tidal, lets you focus on wind and sun cycles without worrying about tides.

    Smallmouth bass are the main event this week. Reports from mid-lake—especially around Valcour Island, Willsboro Bay, and the Inland Sea—are lighting up with catches of 1-4 pound bronzebacks. Crews in the central basin bagged up to 20 smallies in a session, plus a few bonus northern pike. The bite is best early and late on topwater frogs, then it shifts as the sun rises: switch to jerkbaits like the PXR Mavrik 110 in Metallic Yellow Perch or a classic 5" Green Pumpkin Black Senko, Texas-rigged. If you’re targeting beds or rocky flats, tube jigs in green pumpkin and drop shots can’t be beat. Some anglers are finding success with sight fishing, but stained water in a few north shore bays means reaction baits could put more fish in the boat.

    Largemouth are showing but not as thick as the smallies right now. If you want to hunt them, hit the weed beds in southern bays or try Shelburne Bay and Town Farm Bay, both known largemouth haunts. Spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, and soft plastics are the go-tos here.

    Northern pike season is still productive, especially with those cooler lake temps. Pike are hanging around weed edges and submerged timber—throw big chartreuse or red/white Pike Bunnies, or drag a classic Clouser Minnow on the fly rod if that’s your jam.

    Lake trout anglers are working the deeper ledges from Westport up toward Cumberland Head. The lakers are mostly deep by now, so break out your downriggers and troll narrow spoons or plugs that mimic smelt, the lake’s primary forage. Early risers have been rewarded, but a steady troll throughout the day can yield nice multi-fish boxes.

    A couple of hot spots for this week:
    - Valcour Island’s rocky points for smallmouth early and late
    - The weed beds just outside Shelburne Bay for largemouth and bonus pike
    - And for deep-water action, the stretch from Willsboro Bay north to Cumberland Head is prime time for lake trout

    That rounds out today’s report. Thanks for tuning in—don’t forget to subscribe for the latest on bite windows, tactics, and all things Champlain. This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease dot ai.
