Don’t waste money on a guide. Read posts and you will get info. We have a new sponsor on the by board this year, anchorage cabins in south hero. They are right on the lake and have plenty parking for trailers etc. Puts you in a good spot to go find fish as well. Perch bite can be had in a lot of places. St. Albans bay, cowbanks, keepers bay, tabors point, Papasqash island, basically anywhere in the inland sea will produce perch. The locals fish with bibits, but Hali’s, tungstens, and other assorted jigs will catch them. The local bait shops will give info on where the bite is on, bayside bait and tackle in St. Albans is a great resource as they buy perch so they have a vested interest in helping people catch them. Dockside will give info on catching salmon (hit or miss), pike, walleye (very elusive in vt)
If u have tip ups pike fishing in the inland sea can be great in the area north of the bridge between Swanton and alburg, but bait prices here are outrageous and u can’t get anything worth a damn because of the bait laws, and the fact that all bait comes from hog island bait, and they are pretty terrible. But anyway the past posts will help u find fish and we are all willing to give advise. Search the board for a species or post a question and people will give hints. Also it’s a big lake, navionics on a phone will be helpful in finding structure that holds fish, but they can also roam featureless areas so it’s a crapshoot sometimes.
