Vermont-shelburne shore access?

[EdsBar]

Hey all!

 

My friends and I are going to Vermont this weekend (Burlington). They slated out some time for me to fish in the early morning both days. We are five minutes from Shelburne Bay. I won't have a boat or yak for this trip, but what's the shore fishing like there? Is there a hot spot I should look for? Is it busy at like 7:00am? Any help is appreciated because I've never been. I also never caught a pike either so I'm hoping for that. Also, is there a bait shop nearby? Thank you so much for the help!

Shore is pretty mich limited to the access area.  There are pike around there.  Water is 39-43 there now, should be a bit higher after the rain and sun.  If you can get 20 minutes north to Colchester and walk the causeway http://colchestervt.gov/358/Causeway-5K-15K-Race

 You can get a great walk in and get green bass, brown bass, pike, lakers and even salmon just walking and tossing jerkbaits.

Some pretty solid advice right there. Lots of places to fish along the causeway.

There's nowhere to park right near the causeway though, correct? I'd literally have to walk the trail to it with my gear?

If you pack light and can manage a bike you can get out there quickly. When I'm up that way we park at airport park/playground.
