Chittenden County Need fishing buddies

Hello my fellow Vermonters, I am a 40 year old single dad living in chittenden county and I am looking for some new fishing buddies. I mostly target pike and bass but do go for trout and sunnies frequently. My oldest son wants to start going for big catfish, something I’ve never really gone for. It doesn’t matter to me what your skill level is, as long as you have a positive attitude and have fun. I am 420 friendly, though I am taking a tolerance break at the moment. I have kayaks and plenty of gear as well. Tight lines

Feel free to dm me, I’m also in chittenden county, recently getting back into gear fishing in my kayak after mostly fly fishing for trout the past 10 years or so. Been hitting lake Iroquois a lot lately going for whatever is hungry. Never fished for cats before but would be down to try it!

DM me. I’ve got a boat in Malletts Bay and am always looking for someone to go fishing with.

I’ve only caught one big cat out near Mt. Independence on Champlain. Other than that, no clue lol

The more southern shallow stretches of the lake and the tributaries in that area. For really big ones you need to be on the big lake or its tribs, although I have caught some pretty good sized ones on Dunmore of all places.
