Just recent moved here to Vermont and it’s been super exciting to have Champlain not too far from home. Getting my first bass boat I’ve hit the lake a few times this month, with that I’m struggling to find fish. I launch out of St. Albans bay, fish all around ball island, woods island, butler island, pretty much that whole area. Fishing shallow to 30 feet deep can’t seem to put anything together. I’ve noticed there’s a lot of short weeds with some taller on most of these spots with some rock mixed in. There’s perch but no small use, only spots I’ve been able to get a bit is in rock with no weeds or hardly any where there’s zebra muscles. I seem to get discourage when I see the bottom covered in weed and am already thinking the spot isn’t worthy enough to fish. Any pointers on becoming more consistent would be greatly appreciated on this lake. It’s hard walking away from the place because I know the kind of fishing it can produce
