nhbassin Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Has anybody caught a bass ice fishing and soft water fishing in the same day? On wednesday I may ice fish in the Concord area in the morning, then head down to northern Mass in the afternoon to see if I can get a bass from one of the open lakes there. 1 Quote

Good luck, It would get me even more eager to get out and fish if you get a bass... Hope your successful Quote
Fly_Fisherman Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 Went out for the first time of the year with my father for a few casts. We hit a local small pond, I mean really small like less than a half acre. Anyways my dad put on an excalibur blue and yellow lipless crankbait that I had taken the back hook off and replaced with a small willow blade. Second cast he nailed a good 14inch pickerel. Spring is coming, I'm heading out this weekend and within a month it should be really heated up! Quote

unhbass37 Posted March 27, 2013 Author Posted March 27, 2013 Shane will top everyone on here. I believe 9 or 10 pounds. Honestly probably the best fisherman on here. He kills them all year long. I told him he should go pro. Quote
unhbass37 Posted March 27, 2013 Author Posted March 27, 2013 Nev and jitterbug those are some nice fish. I personally didn't get out much to due work and my sons hockey all summer. Biggest I caught was 4 plus. 1 Quote
Super User Shane J Posted March 27, 2013 Super User Posted March 27, 2013 I'm getting ansy, too. Here's my biggest from this year so far. 11.5lbs on a jig/Lobster. It's gonna be a good year, boys! PS- my PB from NH is 9lbs,1oz, caught last year early spring. 2 Quote
unhbass37 Posted March 27, 2013 Author Posted March 27, 2013 I stand corrected. LOL. Awesome Shane Quote

nhbassin Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 Highlights of bassin in Southern NH in 2011 for me and CLR9933. The last 2 weigh 6 pounds-11 ounces and 6 pounds-13 ounces. Watching it gets me fired up to go fish right now! 1 Quote
clr9933 Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 We'll have to top those two 6's this year nhbassin! Anyone have any experience with Lake Champlain? I'm in VT for school for a bit and live next to the lake. I fished from shore off some rock points in the fall and got a few smallies, nothing too big though. So if anyone has any good Champlain stories let me know! Unfortunatley the season doesn't start here until April 13th so I've been DYING to get out. Heaing to Concord on Friday, hopefully I can find some open water, even if it's the river. Quote
KlubbaT Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 I went on a trip 2 years ago to fish Lake Champlain. Very fun place to fish. Had more fun catching Pike there than Bass. Lots of areas to explore there. Quote

Lots of areas to explore there. Yeah, deffinitely a lot of places to explore. I can't wait to start fishing all the small lakes and ponds around here also. It'll be fun to fish some new water. Quote
HeavyDluxe Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 Hi, all... Live over on the other side of the line, but will be fishing in NH more this year as well. See you on the water! 1 Quote
NEjitterbugger Posted March 28, 2013 Posted March 28, 2013 My dad's friend has house on Lovell Lake in Wakefield... We are going up mid april and I know the trout fishing is good but how about the bass? Anyone have experience there??? He caught a 37" walleye while trolling for trout two years ago... Im trying to get the pic from him... Quote

MikeOGNR Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 I fish Champlain at least 4 times a year I usually take my truck with my boat up there I swear I've seen Champ but i might be losing my mind haha that's about the only story I got haha fishing is all around good. Quote
