Hey guys, loving the forum. Let me introduce myself.

I'm from London in the UK and i'm currently over visiting my parents in Montreal. (As it happens, i'm stranded by the volcano!). I do a lot of fishing in the UK, but its all fly fishing for salmon and trout, which i've been doing for over 10 years.

My parents live right on a lake, and i was desperate to do some fishing here. But what did i find when i looked online, the season was closed!

I was absolutely gutted (pun intended), because i really wanted to do some bass fishing to see what all the fuss was about.

So i desperately looked to see where i could fish legally, and ended up taking a trip down to Champlain in Vermont and went out on a fantastic charter trip.

I caught 6 smallies (biggest 3.5lbs), and a small largemouth.

I had such a great time, and i can totally see why you guys go crazy for these fish! When you strike into one of those babys, there's nothing like it in the world!

So now i'm totally hooked, and i can't wait to go again, although it probably won't be for some time. Pity there arent any bass in the UK :(

    There aren't any bass in the UK? You should probably move. By the way, welcome to the forum.
