Planning a trip in early April 2020 to Merrimac NH. I want to fish for smallies on the Merrimac River. Any tips or sections to float? I fished Horseshoe pond when i was little but want to get in the river.
Im guessing the sandy bottom to the river i was fishing is to blame. This was taken a few years ago. I was going threw some pics and stopped and said i think this is a smallmouth .
i have never fished the James. Would i be able to launch my boat (Gheenoe) with 9.9 at the Watkins ramp ? Is the smallmouth fishing good in that stretch?
Thanks!
Went out this morning with may dad we had a good day 9 bass, 1 bowfin, 1 racoon perch, 15+ bream.We fished a section of the river that we havent fished in years. REBEL pop r's were hot .
Fished today with my dad, we fished some fast shallow water 6 bass all small was hoping for smallmouth, 1 red eye, 20+ bream .Caught the bass on strike king bitsy jig/rage tail chunks and rebel crawfish cranks. We had a blast.
Went out to the river fished a few hours . After heavy rains the night before the river was in good shape.Caught 7 bass lots of bream.The boys had a blast it was my 2 year olds first real fishing trip.
