WELCOME TO LAKE CHAMPLAIN TROUTSCOUT CHARTERS

Your Captain is a native Vermonter and has spent years on the waters of Lake Champlain. Captain Pete lives on a tiny island called Isle La Motte in the Lake Champlain Islands Region.

United States Coast Guard - 50 Ton Master Captain/Peter Murray's mission is to provide a safe and productive experience aboard the Missy Jean.

Let the Captain's experience be your guide for not only a day of great fishing but fantastic views of our breathtaking mountains, with the Adirondack Mountains to the West and the Green Mountains to the East.

The Captain's obvious love and respect for the lake and its offerings is the driving force behind much of the activity on board.

AUGUST 21ST CHARTER


Here is Chris and his family.
The Missy Jean left the Coast Guard Launch (Burlington Waterfront) at approx. 8:00 am.
The weather was warm with an 8 mph wind out of the south.
A four line spread was set out and in short time the family had a release.





The family limited out and more on the fish caught for the charter.
Fun was had by all, specially this young man!





During one fish on, the Captain had to pull all the of the other gear in and back down on the fish in order to reel it in. 
At the back of the boat the line gave up and the fish was floating on the surface of the water.  The Captain was able to bring the boat about to net the fish.





The Captain thought this was one heck of a day fishing, and would like to thank Dan and his family for spending time with Lake Champlain Trout Scout Charters.

Thanks for stopping by.

AUGUST 9TH CHARTER


We launched the Missy Jean from the Coast Guard Launch (Burlington Waterfront) at approx. 10:30 am.
Thunder storms were predicted so we kept a good eye on the weather.
A four line spread was set out and once again we had a release in short order.



Mike and Joanne landed three lakers.
A warning came in from the Coast Guard, a storm was near by so we picked up and headed for shore.
We ate lunch while waiting for the storm to pass.




We headed back out for more fishing.





 We successfully limited the catch for the charter for the day and fun was had by all.


The Captain said it was a great day of fishing and wants to thank Mike and Joanne for spending time with Lake Champlain Trout Scout Charters.
Thanks for stopping by.

We had many more releases through out the charter, most fish caught turned out to be not the species (perch, white perch and bass) of fish we were targeting.
The Captain still thinks it was a good day on the water and wants to thank John for spending time with Lake Champlain Trout Scout Charters.
Thanks for stopping by.
