Always worth the drive!.!.!

Made the trip over to Champlain from NH with a buddy. Was a little nervous with the events I had heard about during the past week. My thoughts go out to those families..

Once we found a safe place to get on the lake there was a good amount of ice. We had no issues with the quads.

Fishing was great! We caught 8 lakers total. 5 were over 10lbs and the best was just over 12.
The jumbo perch bite kept us very busy. Almost too busy to eat... I have caught a few here and there in the past but normally the size of the bait deters bites and/or hook ups. Not today!
