Get out on the water, catch fish, and enjoy the trip
When you book with Last Cast Bass, you’re heading out with Captain Dave Morrissette, a local guide who has mastered Lake Champlain. He keeps the day relaxed, and makes sure beginners feel comfortable from the first minute.
“We caught way more than expected. Perfect trip for our family because none of us had done this before.”
“Felt like fishing with an old friend who happened to know exactly where the fish were.”
“Best part of our trip to Vermont. Easy booking, all the gear ready, and nonstop action once we got out there.”
Lake Champlain is one of Vermont's best bass fisheries, with rocky points, island shorelines, weed edges, and open-water structure that can produce steady action. Whether you're chasing smallmouth, largemouth, or just want a fun day with the family, Captain Dave sets up the gear, reads the water, and helps every angler get comfortable.
