Lake Champlain

Hello everyone, I have a 3 day fishing trip planned on Lake Champlain in a few days. Since I’ve never fished that body of water, I was wondering if anyone has tips regarding techniques/locations for this lake that could help make this trip memorable. Thanks!

Yeah!! Keep an eye out for Champ, the local sea monster!!

Sorry I couldn't be more constructive, but I've never been there, and couldn't pass up the opportunity to crack wise,

What are you targeting largemouth or smallmouth, or both? I have a house around Ticonderoga so that the only places I've fished on Champlain. There is a whole bunch of lily pads, grass etc. around there and its mainly largemouth. So any technique you would normally use for fishing around grass and pads..frogs, flip n' pitch, etc. will work there. When they had the Bassmaster Elite series there a few years back thats where a lot of the anglers brought in some big bags.
