Lol I hear ya! Probably good to have some fish moved from that area,
otherwise overpopulatrion might kick in lol. Of course, a great bite can
stink if you can't get the fish back to the weigh-in. ask Chris
Baumgartner, he ran down to Ti on day 1, caught 23 pounds, and got back 35
minutes late. The water was tolerable early in the AM, but things broke
down quickly. O, he only left 2 1/2 hours to make the trip back. That's
why I told you that with only 4 days of practice that I couldn't risk taking
the time to practice down there, the lake blowing up & my plans screwed. As
it turned out it didnt matter, I was in way over my head just being 30 miles
north of the ramp with nothing but 6-12 footers between me & the scales.

When Champlain is good its good, but when its nasty its n-a-s-t-y. Frankly,
that's one of the elements of big-time tournament fishing that I'm not
especially fond of. Too much like work ;-)

Not down south it wasn't! The fishing during that period was great! I just
wish that all those guys in the BASS and FLW big events that come out of
Plattsburgh or Mallets would stop coming down south and transplanting my
fish 90 miles away!
