NJBassDevil3254 Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 Hows it going everyone? This report was a while ago but it was my vacation so I figured I would tell ya guys about it. I'm not on here much but I'm looking to hang out here a bit more so I'll share with ya all my trip up to Lake Bomoseen, Vermont... To make a long story short, I rocked this lake. I got at least 100 bass and 50 or more were keepers. The worst day I had was 3 keepers (not including the last morning when I got 2 keepers. I only had an hour to fish). We got there that afternoon and I headed out in the kayak. 20 yards from our dock, I land a 2.5lber. Landed a few more keepers that night and I pretty much had them figured out by then. I had them so down to a science, I dont think it was fair to the fish. They were under boats that were attached to docks. They prefered the Pontoon boats over the other boats, they were on the docks that had weeds around them or deep water by them, and they would hit any plastic thrown under the boat. The first morning I shoved off at 6:00am (just like a real tourny) and had an 12lb limit by 8am. My parents called me at 8:30am and I headed in to show them my catch. The rest of the week was pretty much the same thing exept for a COLD front that moved in and cooled the water down 5-6 degrees. I had a bit of a slump but I still pulled some small keepers out. It was another great week at Lake Bomoseen. My parents caught a couple keepers and my bro, who stay for 4 days, caught some nice bass himself. Oh, we caught a couple small bass deep and my dad managed to pull one 14" keeper outta the weeds on a drop shot in 13 foot of water. My Brother lost a HUGE fish in the weeds on a DS as well. The thing was pulling so hard my bro could barly hang on. It got caught up in the weeds and shook loose. My 12lb limit the first morning(Pics of 4 out of the 5 fish. The one I didnt get a pic of wasnt doing well and was only a 12")... Nice 16"er Good yak bass! While I was messin around with my crankin' rod, I got a pleasent suprise! Another limit (again, I only took pics of the biggest 4 fish)... Dad's Drop Shot bass... Two solid fish... Thanks for reading everyone and I hope to stick around to chat with y'all in the future!

NJBassDevil3254 Posted December 17, 2007 Author Posted December 17, 2007 Thanks! Did you fish Bomoseen? Quote
Dean Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 Hey I use to camp on Lake Bomoseen when I was a wee tot. Then we moved down the road to camp at a small lake known as Lake Hortonia. I fished here for 13 years, slowly learning how to fish year by year. Then when the owner closed that place, we moved to a campground in NH, called Mascoma Lake Campground. Huge Lake, 5 miles long. Loaded with smallmouth and largemouth bass. But yeah, hearing the name bomoseen brings back memories. I used to go past that lake on the way home from camp every weekend in the summer. Oh how the times have changed. Quote
FishGeek Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 That's a great trip. Nice pictures! I usually go to Champlain when I get up that way. I'm going to have to try Bomoseen this year. I'll be the happiest guy alive if I have half as much luck as you did! Quote
