walleyes, crappies and more champlain canal

[beaver1080]

decided to try some new spots today on the canal. my cousin kenny, my friend tom and i got out arounf 6:30 this morning and within 20 minutes tom got the biggest catch of the day a nice walleye. took some time before kenny got a few nice crappies then a walleye himself. myself well i lost a decent walleye about 4 hours into the trip my first catch about 5 and half hours later got 2 consecutive eyes. i also lost the 2nd biggest fish of the day around 4lb walleye near the boat. in total we got a bunch of rock bass, smallmouths, walleyes, perch, and a pike. tom also lost a large sheephead probably the biggest fish of the day on a rapala at least 6 lbs... all fish were caught on rapalas and kenny was slamming everything on rubber crayfish.   enjoy:

That Canal had me hooked on catfishing for years.
I'm like an old man now and turn into a zombie after 9.
I miss the days of fishing the canal until sunup.

slyr u gotta get back out there man, the fishing has been great the last couple yr's for me there. that was my worst day in a long time there. 2 caught and 2 other lost in 12 hours is not good but at least the other 2 had better luck. best part is we didn't buy the boat till memorial day last yr and have already been out 4 times and it can only get better as bass season is not even open yet
