So i made my first of many visits of many trips to Newport, VT to fish maygog on Saturday morning. The fishing was slow from 7 to about 9:30 and i was not catching many smelt , so i figure i use one greatest tools and my new favorite toy i bought this year and that is my color and black/white Sony HD camera from vexilar that came with my double vision set up from vexialr. Once i put the camera down in the water i could see smelt hanging very close to the bottom of the lake and i was in 20 feet of water by the twin island where the shanty town is. I did not see massive schools of smelt which i was hoping only 10-15 smelt at a time. After watching the reaction of the smelt to my jig i could easily pick off the smelt from the bottom because i could see the bite before i felt the bite and i ended up catching allot more smelt because of it. From 9:30 to 12:30 i ended up catching about 125 more smelt . i love Maygog and i love going up there and i hope to come back real soon and fish the big derby up there for the first time.
