A tube bait brought me to the B.A.S.S regionals 20 yrs ago and it's still catching them for me. Black, brown or green pumpkin. 1/16-1/2 oz weighted hook depending on the wind. On a cloudy day you can't beat this for water over 20 ft deep for the smallmouths.

Doing a lunker tourny tomorrow hopefully not in the rain.

Hi Benjamin, Welcome to BassResorce. This is where all the NH people are at if you want to share stories and learn what other people are doing in NH Don't forget to click follow on the upper right. http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/100208-anyone-have-any-luck-in-southern-nh-yet-4612/ I think we just hit page 87 now.

Lee Mills leading to Greens Basin would be my top stop. The Basin located in the Winter Harbor and Paugus Bay are next in line for good frogging largemouth action in my opinion.

Haven't done much NH water fishing these couple weeks mostly Maine except for Winnie last Sat fished along Rattlesnake before heading back to Winter Harbor it was a rough windy day Swells between 2-4 ft. Did get about a dozen smallies between the two of us the biggest about 2lbs. The cold front just stayed the whole day instead of moving out like the weather guy said. 1/2 ounce green pumpkin tubes were the winner that day.

Will join in. Hitting Lovell again this weekend.

No fishing for me this weekend, far to many fools on the water getting in one last beer while riding their jet ski or boat. Been on the water long enough to know when to stay safe on shore.

Sorry hear that, I have done that more then once but this was before we carried phones with us (yes the old days) but the most important part "yourselves" is safe.

One fish this week not even 12 inches, the lake I went to let the water down early by almost a foot and messed up everything. Even got to watch a Bald Eagle out fish me.

Did Lovell Lake in Wakefield NH for the first time time today, caught 23 including this fat one I don't count any fish smaller then tourney size. 12 inches Three quarters of the fish caught were smallies and all the bass were well fed fish. I will be back on this lake when the tourists are gone for sure

Did Lovell Lake for the first time what a great lake but a pain to park a trailer. Never fished this lake before but caught 23 with this one weighing at 3.42 what a big belly on it. Smallies were on fire with Yum June bug worms. This one I got with a bass pro tourney pumpkinseed green 6 inch worm wacky rigged weightless. I would go back to this lake when the tourist season is over.

I know you will see many great types of lure presentations here and structure ideas. A good pair of polarized glasses do wonders, what is working for me is looking for bright green grass at the 6-8 ft range then I cast to the deeper side of it and bring it to the shallow side. texas rigged worms or wacky rigged is getting all my fish over the 2 pound range. I like to look at what color the dragon flies are, and my go to color are watermelon green with red specks, pumkingseed green or any of the junebug colors on sunny days, black with either blue or red specks on cloudy days. I like to punch through the healthy lily pads with a lizard baits or a short fast retrieve on top with a floating frog. I only use my depth finder when I have the big motor on and turn it off once i hit the area I like, hence the glasses. I bring lots of gatorade because I will fish alot in one spot because theres no such thing as just one big fish at good structures. But this is what is working for me on my boat.

Going to try my luck on Lovell lake Sunday I have always driven by it but never fished it. Probably because I was always at Poor Peoples Pub across the street. A good friend told me several 6 and 7 pounders have been caught on it already this year.

I know just hard when going solo and rushing to get the fish back into the water in 25 mph wind and a well used lake with boat renters running all over the place

Did Milton 3 Ponds today everyone said that this lake is dead for bass but they are out there, 4 total each averaged over 2 lbs and one awesome pickerel.

My 2 twins on Milton 3 Ponds everyone keeps saying the big ones are gone and there's nothing but trout, but patience works for me finding them.

I live in Portsmouth also, most times I will be on Great East and or Mousam in Maine I try to make trips to Winni as much as I can. When the weeds aren't to bad at the ramp I hit Swains during the week, weekends during the summer the lakers take all the boating parking spaces. This Sat I will be on Milton 3 ponds.

Did LeeMills on Winni today, what a wacky day of fishing, to many fronts coming in scattered the fish everywhere. Manage to catch over a dozen for the three of us but nothing over 15 inches. Just had to throw a lot.

Hitting LeeMills on Winni in the morning with my dad and brother, first time this has happened in over 20 yrs should be interesting.

KTP has a thin measuring tape that sticks onto your fishing pole $3

Just fishing for smallies this week. Mousam Lake, ME

I'm in.
