Lake Champlain advice needed

[dremarquis]

Hi all,

i also posted this on the Lake Ontario section (i figured some folks don't check all parts of this forum):

 

I will be visiting Lake Champlain for the first time Sept 19-22 (camping near Plattsburgh - on Valcour Island).

1. Do you know how i can obtain a map with depth contour lines of the lake? (I don't have a navionics card)

2. Keeping in mind that will be in the northern half of the lake (west/NY side) in a 17' boat, any advice regarding trolling for LLs, jigging for lakers, or casting for bass would be GREATLY APPRECIATED! (feel free to PM me)

I am not able to get this far away more than once a year, so i won't be burning up any of your favorite spots

thank you very much,

Andre

anywhere south of the island in 80 plus feet of water jigging is great big fish a lot off 10 plus pound lakers

Just be aware a south wind is your enemy on LC in the Valcour Island area. A 15-20 kt wind can produce 3-4 footers pretty quickly. Keep and eye on the weather.
