Onthefly_25 Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 I'm new to Plattsburgh NY and have been chucking baits from shore for 3 weeks with minimal results. Currently without a boat but the Yak is coming up in a few weeks. Nailed a 5 pound Smallie at the mouth of the Saranac on a Slammer but other than that not even a follower. I'm looking for advice on the lake and baits that work here. Large mouth are more my wheel house but I'm looking to catch both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshPerkins802 Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 Big glides. But if you also throw conventional. Drop shots are the magical bait on champlain. Onthefly_25 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevro1et Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 Heard a few examples of guys catching big smallies on glide baits and Magdrafts in Jersey and Michigan. Onthefly_25 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GerikMeyers Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 Not a smallie expert by any means but I have done pretty well on my negotiator in the rainbow color up here in northern california. Onthefly_25 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynem Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 Head south to the Ticonderoga section of the lake. Great fishing and its more conducive to kayak fishing. Onthefly_25 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
