Champlain GPS Co-ords.
Due to my proximity I am considering a day trip to champlain. Anyone have
any Co-ords. for good LM spots, as I have never fished this area before? I
see many of you have fished there quite often. Any tips would be
appreciated.Thanks John C. French |

| I've got roughly 650 GPS coordinates on Champlain John. Do you want them
all or just the very best ones? Warren ;-) |

| Well, considering I'd like to make it a day trip, 650 waypoints are
a few too many, but heheh thanks for the offer. I would actually like some
of the good ones, located within a few miles of each other. Preferably near
what you consider to be the best launching area for Champlain. I live
Northeast of Plattsburgh.
I've been fishing since I was six, but only last year did I finally
convince my wife I needed a boat. I usually fish Chateaugay Lake here in NY,
and our local river, which empties into the St. Lawrence River on the
Canadian side, which I also fish. I've pulled in 75 smallies this year, the
biggest being 5-2 (Taken dig. pics of them all.)
I have yet to catch a LM, and think Champlain will be my best local
bet to do so. Any help anyone would like to contribute would be readily
accepted. Thanks. John C. French |

| John, If you're looking for LM, you don't need no steenking GPS co-ordinates. You
need to fish every milfoil bed in more than 8 feet of water you can find
within 3 miles either way of Ticonderoga. Or launch in South Bay, idle over
to the nearest bed of water chestnut and pick up your flipping stick. Oh, wait. I see you are up Plattsburgh way. If you want to wait for
September, the pilings from the old railroad bridge across the new York
side of the lake just south of the border will be so thick with LM that
you'll have to fight 'em off. But right now, it's probably thick with
hammer handle sized pike. If you've got a map (and you really do need one to fish champlain), find
Pelot's Bay and Carry Bay (North Hero Island, and the south end of Aulrurg
Passage). The two referenced bays meet at Savage Point. That's really all
you need to know. You'll catch plenty there. RichZ©
