A Fine Day for Lakers

[thefishingweatherman]

Hey guys, VTMatt invited me out to check out the laker bite with his girlfriend today out on Champlain. It did not disappoint! I went 3 for 9 on lakers - enough to limit out! Not bad for my first time getting them on the jig! The weather was perfect too - 38 degrees, partly sunny, and no wind at times. A day to remember for sure! The only downside? Having a roughly 18 pound laker come off at the hole with clear ice underfoot... Heartbroken.

Anyways, here's the video; hope you enjoy it! Good luck out there! 

PS: Please don't ask me where this is - if I even gave you a hint, Matt would stuff my head down one of these holes in the ice.

Nice vid Chris!  I didn't realize that first fish had a pectoral clip until now - so not wild. As for lunt - you're you right man. Ice
texture, pattern, thickness along with the fact that we were in fact were on a body of water that had land in the background is an absolute dead giveaway as to where we were.  Can you also tell me how deep we were fishing by the color of the ice?

Great report/video!  I've only caught lakers using tip-ups, and would love to jig for some.  What are you guys jigging with?
