The family and I went to the in-laws place on Lake Dunmore in Vermont. What a an awesome lake with no boat traffic! The house is right on the water so I could just wake up and walk out on the deck right into my boat. I got a few hours of fishing in Saturday morning from 5 am till 10am and that evening for around 2 hours. Caught over 50 fish in the 2 lb range with a few bigger ones. All fish came on jigs in 15-20 ft of water. The water temps were warm( around 78 ) Here's a few pics of the better ones.

This sounds like a nice place to visit... Where are you camping? Is it a state campground? Is there a launch?
Sounds like a nice place to go for the weekend...

| My wife and I and the Kids had a great time camping. The lake is nice. I got on the water late the first day and fished from 9:30 am to 1:30pm. It was HOT, 90 degrees plus. Blue skys with 82 degree surface water and no wind. Ended up cathing 3 bass (two smallie and one large mouth) and a pickeral. Not big fish at all. Seen a lot of floating vegetation, I figured they sprayed the Lake. Not much growth in that bay. Went seaching for water. The following day was on the water by 6 am (off by 10 am) and caught 6 smallies and my wife caught 5 smallies and a 2.5 lb largemouth. A combo of Senko's, Zero,s and surface Lures. These fish were caught in 5 - 12 feet of water at vegetation with a small stream or run off entering from shore. The final day I figured it out. Seen schools of smallies attacking bait fish. I went over to see and noticed that these bait fish appeared to be perch. I passed the drop shot course by using a green (perch colar) 3 inch Yum Dinger. Ended up catching 13 smallmouth in a two hour period and 3 to 4 more on a Zell pop. Once the sun came completely over the mountains (after 9 am) the bite slowed. I'am going try this lake again for the Largemouths maybe in the Fall. For those who camp with kids it is a A++ camp ground. Thanks Chuck again for the Info. Bob |
