Hit me up if you need spots up here.

Live on Champlain soooo.

 

St Lawrence river for 2 weeks

Oneida

Potomac

Smaller inland VT waters

Perfect! I haven't done Champlain in a few years, but I had an absolute field day at Button Bay walking to the point and catching 4+lb bass on literally every cast one night.

 

Maybe I will go back there this summer.

@Big Hands I know it’s easier said than done. I’d move. That’s just mind blowing to me. 

 

I'm about a year and a half away from retirement. One year, five months, and twenty days. . . . three hours, and ten minutes. Nine minutes now.

Friend of ours wants to catch a marlin on her bucket list so off to Cabo in Feb to fill her wish.

The only new place I'm sure to be crossing off my list is Lake Tenkiller, OK in March for the Bassmaster Kayak Classic. I have a few local lakes I've been wanting to get to, maybe this will be the year.

Since I live in Huntsville AL, I’ll hit the big ones around me…wheeler lake, lake guntersville, nickajack lake, TN River (nickajack is furthest at 1.5 hrs) Might go west to Picwick (I think it’s 2ish hrs). Have an opportunity to go to Hartwell (I think 6ish?) with a veterans service organization, so I’ll probably take that opportunity. My daughter lives about 3 hrs from me, but about 20 mins from Dale Hollow, so I’ll hit that up this year too. Might do some trout fishing in the caney fork river.

Locally, there are 4 bodies of water in my rotation with Lake Michigan in NW Indiana my most preferred place locally.  For trips I always go the last week of March to central and southern IL.  I'll spend a a couple days on Newton Lake in central IL (always makes BASS's top lakes list for the Midwest) and then a couple days in extreme southern IL messing around on a small, picturesque Shawnee National Forest lake.  

 

The trips that get me excited the most are my northern Michigan summer trips.  In early June I'll visit Lake Charlevoix and Grand Traverse Bay for a couple days each on a solo camping and fishing trip and then will return a few weeks later with the family and will sneak a few days of fishing in at many of the same places.  I often take a late July trip and this year I am thinking about hitting Door Co in Wisconsin.  It's been a few years since I've fished up there.

 

So overall I'll probably fish 12 or so different places this year.
