Frostbiting the day before the NorEaster on Lake Champlain trolling for Landlocks! 12/15/22

Picture perfect day in December to get out yesterday. Everyone knows the day before the big storm the fish start chewing! Regular guest Mike Morin joined me at the ramp at 9 am. Setup at 9:15 and fished till sunset. Randy and his guest shortly after us joined us. We split up and fished two different areas. When the day was over we had over 40 bites! Hard sticking them there are so many 15-16" salmon showing up at Fishville lately. 50/50 mix of lakers and salmon. We lost a few decent fish but that's why we keep trying! LOL .. Randy did very well with his guest as well! Blue Moon was the best lure with 2 Lite Bites and 2 riggers with free sliders running and the riggers parked at 40 and 45 ft. Lite bites 120 ft of line out to run at 40 ft. 7 hours of fishing and 27 miles on the GPS for the day. Randy's boat and mine were the only boats out yesterday.
