wow, sounds like a great day out there for everyone. Did you catch that one in the second picture out in the maine river instead of the normal spot directly at the outflow?

Thanks Shane. I can see the stacks from the end of my street so thats actually really helpfull. It stinks to get the boat all the way up the river to find out they arent pulling.

We struck out today in about 2 hours on the river. Not a bite. The other boat that we saw out there didnt catch anything either. Shane, do you know of a way to see if they are pulling water other than just going all the way out on the river?

I plan on being out there on Sunday with clr8899 as well.

WOW Shane, that is a trophy smallmouth for New England! The biggest smallie I got out of there this winter was only around 2 pounds, but its good to know there are some monsters in there

After our first sucessful trip to the powerplant on the merrimack, me and clr9933 have tried 3 more times and have not gotten a single bite. There was very little current the past few times and the water was real cold.

I didnt post any pictures this year on the forum, but here is a slideshow of all of the 3 pound or larger bass that me and clr9933 caught in 2010. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmgN1wr1FbM

haha, you beat me too it then. I thought that was crazy getting them to hit topwater in these temps.

Shane, We did pretty well today on the river. clr9933 got a 2 pound smallmouth and a little largemouth both on a bitsy bug jig with a trailer. I got a 2.5 pound smallie on a jig with ragecraw trailer and even got just under a two pounder while "walking the dog" with a topwater. I bet I am the first person in NH to catch a topwater bass in 2011! There was a decent current today and despite our lines freezing and our reels getting all icy, it was a good trip.

Hey troutguy, the powerplant we are talking about is in Bow on the Merrimack River. I believe it is legal to fish there. Unfortinately there is nowhere to shore fish around it because the shore is all fenced off.

Hey Shane, Is the parking lot downriver of the powerplant usually plowed or do you have to drag your boat through the snow and park on the street? Im probablly going to take my jon boat down there real soon.

I know your "name that spot" Shane. Its only a mile or so from my house. I plan on trying it this winter a few times. Ive been told to use live shinners there in the winter. Do you still go with artificials over the winter time when fishing that spot?

WOW SAUCY! That is a monster day for that lake. I havent had great luck there, but I have been doing really well after these hot days on the top water frogs latley tho.

Fishing on the edge- Some other places in the Concord area that I used to fish from shore were Hoit Marsh in Concord on Hoit Road, Turtle Town Pond, Under the Hannah Duston Bridge in Penacook where the Contoocook River and the Merrimack River meet (SMB mostly), and at the end of 2nd street in Concord behind Beaver Meadow Golf course on the Merrimack.

Impressive fmoore, that is a solid limit for the day. What lake was the tourney on?

Nice fish wagn! I went out fishing from shore this past Saturday just north of the lakes region and reeled in my personal best 7 pound 1 ounce Largemouth using a black 3/8 oz spinner bait. Ive been jealous of all the monsters you guys have been posting so far this year, but now I finally am posting one of my own:)

WOW UNHBASS!!! That is truly a trophy nh largemouth. Congrads on the PB.

Thanks unhbass and sausage fingers. Ive been using ribbit frogs and getting a few hits at Mill Pond but none of them are staying hooked. Also been walking along the channel and throwing senkos near bass when I can see them swimming by, and they want nothing to do with it. Only luck ive had has been with soft plastic swimbaits. Ill try the jig and trailer next time and hopefully have some more luck.

Hey guys, I just started fishing Mill Pond in Nashua during my lunch breaks for an hour or so and was wondering if any of you guys have fished there lately. If so, what have you been doing well with?
