Late Fall Transition Tactics for Lake Champlain Bass
# Lake Champlain Fishing Report - Sunday, November 16th, 2025
Well folks, Artificial Lure here with your Lake Champlain fishing report for Sunday morning. We're looking at a brisk fall day on the big lake, and let me tell you, the conditions are shaping up nicely for some serious bass action.
**Weather and Conditions**
We woke up to chilly temperatures this morning, so bundle up before heading out. Sunrise was around 6:47 this morning, and we're looking at sunset around 4:31 PM, so you've got a solid window to work with. The water temps are dropping as we transition deeper into late fall, which means the bass are getting concentrated and active.
**Fish Activity**
Late fall transition is prime time on Lake Champlain right now. We're in that sweet spot where both smallmouth and largemouth bass are feeding aggressively as they prepare for winter. Bass Pro Tour pros have been crushing it during this exact seasonal window, and our local anglers are reporting solid catches. The fishing day rating is looking "Better Plus" with major feeding times from roughly 11 AM to 1 PM, so time your outing accordingly.
**What's Working**
Spybaits are absolutely shining right now, especially on these calm fall mornings. These finesse reaction baits work beautifully when conditions are too calm for traditional jerkbaits. Throw them on spinning gear with 5 to 6-pound fluorocarbon, and work them with a slow, steady retrieve. Let them sink naturally and count down to find your depth. You can also throw crawdad-colored lures—the color science goes way beyond just red and olive, so experiment with different shades to dial in what the fish want.
**Hot Spots**
Focus on the deeper structure and transition zones along the Green Mountains to the east and Adirondacks to the west. The cliffs and mountain backdrop create excellent drop-offs and current breaks. Charlotte and Shelburne areas have been producing quality smallmouth, and don't overlook the rocky points where Lake Champlain's famous foliage backdrop meets deeper water.
