Lake Bomoseen (From The Banks)

[HeavyDluxe]

Hi, everyone...

My family is staying for a week on Lake Bomoseen in central Vermont the last week of the month... Last year was really the start of our fishing addiction, and so we just fished from the docks behind the house we rented. Caught a lot of panfish, and I managed to find one 2lb-ish bass and some pickerel in the mornings.

If money were no object, we'd rent a boat and hit the water. But, money's always an object. So, we'll likely be confined to fishing from the banks. Anyone here know any good spots you'd recommend that we hit?

We're staying in a place over on Rt 30 about halfway between Prospect Point and the Crystal Beach recreation area.

If you don't want to reveal your honey holes via reply, feel free to send a PM. I promise to leave your spot pristine and I'll even throw back your lunkers. ;-)

ed: We're willing to hit any other waters nearby, too, if that'd be better for us.

It's going to be difficult to get many lunkers from shore. I guess I would suggest driving a little bit north from where you are staying and take a left turn on float bridge road. When you come to the bridge there is a pull off there. There is not a great deal of fishing room there, but enough for a few people. I would try there early in the morning or in the evening. There is current there and access to some deeper water so you may find some bass there. Bomo is a tough lake to fish even if you have a boat, the good ones tend to be real deep during the summer months. I hope this helps some.

Nice to meet you, UPS. I know the spot, and appreciate the reply. Are there any other places in the area you'd recommend that might work better?

I don't want to spend a ton of time driving around when I could be just relaxing, and I'm sure my wife isn't going to love the idea of me taking a lot of family time to go off on a fishing jag. But, if there's someplace within 20-30mins that's worth visiting while we're in the area, then I can probably justify a little excursion.

Not a great deal of shore fishing opportunities near by because most of the lakes and ponds near there have camps and homes all along the shore line.
