Re: Champlain boat fatality eye witness report
WILL YOU GUYS PLEASE SLOW DOWN!!!!! Bass Boats are designed for Speed..........Not to go Slow I think that's the wrong answer, and quite insensitive. My 345hp Dodge Hemi will go 150 kmph without even trying but I don't drive that fast, and even if there was NO speed limit, I wouldn't drive that fas...

Always wear KILL SWITCH the boat (Boating fatality Champlain
Very sad news from Lake Champlain (Vermont and New York). I know both of these men, as they are members of the same bass club I'm in. I've fished with them a number of times. They went out yesterday to pre-fish for an Open tournament our club is hosting next weekend. This is a grave reminder to ALWA...

So what is the right thing to do.....throw fish back or keep it....?? Treat it no different than any other pike. Keep it if you want to eat it (yes, despite the awful appearance, the infection is dermal and doesn't impact the flesh, and the virus is non-transmissable to humans). Throw it back if yo...

Yep. As a fisheries biologist, I can definitely tell you it is Esocid Lymphosarcoma. It's a viral infection of the dermal layer. Transferred from fish to fish by direct contact. Not associated with stagnant waters, pollution or chemicals. Tumours will get reabsorbed eventually, but you can usually s...

Need advice on fishing resort in Ontario next year ...
I've been grounded for 2 years now from travelling with the boat to fish (I have a little one who's 2 1/2 years old !!), but next year, with our son at the age of 3, my wife and I want to finally plan a week's vacation and fishing trip with the boat and our son. I have a few criteria in choosing a p...

Looks like you should make a trip to Vermont to visit dear old Auntie ! Barrie is a bit of a trip from Champlain (~45min) but the catch-and-release bass season that starts this coming Saturday is NOT Champlain-specific. This regulation applies to all waters of the state, and there are some great sma...

Hi Andy ... I used to live in Ottawa and you're right. It's not far from Vermont at all. Most of my friends and family are spread between London and Peterborough and even they make it down a couple times a year, especially in the spring to fish bass ! Here are some pictures of some spring bass from ...

Hi there .... I'm Shawn Good - the fisheries biologist in Vermont that Bob taped the show with. I'm glad to see that folks saw the show and are interested in coming to Vermont to fish Champlain's catch-and-release bass season. The season opens the 2nd Saturday in April every year - and this year tha...
