Saw one person out there Saturday afternoon although they didn’t look to be fishing
It was a mess yesterday with both deep drifts and slush underneath. I am about to try out front of my place to see what affect the rain has done on the conditions. Raining pretty hard right now so it won't be pleasant.
Anyone ever get any consistent smelt near cowbanks? Tried outer mallets and only caught a few.
If there are consistent smelt anywhere on Champlain, I'd love to know about it.I got excited when I caught one smelt at cowbanks last year!
If Basin Harbor and Barrow's lock up this year I'll give it a try and will let you know. Seems like that area only freezes every 2 or 3 years these days. That's where I got my start at about the age of 5, (54 years ago!). I'll never forget losing my dad's friend's handmade jig stick down the hole. What about Shelburne Bay? That used to be another go-to spot.
