Super User Shane J Posted October 1, 2013 Super User Posted October 1, 2013 If you don't have a crap ton of milfoil where you are fishing, then do this. Lights out! 1/4oz Jika Rig with a Rage DB or regular Craw. So money, it's silly. Quote
Mainebass1984 Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 If you want a good quality reliable Crankbaitt I would suggest the Koppers live Target crawfish paterned silent squarebill crankbait. I usually try and bump into whatever I am fishing when fishing crankbaits. The koppers live target craw are expensive at 11 buck a piece but they worth it. The KVD 1.5s are also a really productive crankbait again I would suggest the silent squarebilled version. Right now with the water temp in the low to mid 60s it is crankbait time. 1 Quote
Beverly Bassman Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Shane, I never knew the name of that rig with the free swinging weight. I saw Stacy King fishing that on a program that I watch on YouTube call Southwest Outdoors. It's a Texas-based weekly fishing show. I have learned a lot from that show. The host, Barry Stokes, will even respond personally to emails. They had Stacy King as a guest when they fished Table Rock. He was killing it on the same rig you have above. I notice your Curado is left hand retrieve. Are you left handed, or is that your flipping/pitching setup, in case you hook a fish immediately on the fall and don't want to take time to switch hands?

Super User Shane J Posted October 1, 2013 Super User Posted October 1, 2013 No, I reel lefty all the time, but I'm right handed. Go figure, huh? Quote
mhtranger Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 Went out for about 3 hrs today and caught about 15. Only 4 nice ones and the rest were very enthusiastic little guys. Not sure how the baby smallies even thought they could eat the crank I was throwing?? All but the smallie were caught on a Live Target pumpkinseed crank and the smallie was caught on a senko. Quote
MikeOGNR Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 Can anyone give me some good places to fish from shore around Milford NH. Really looking for some responses Quote
Nashua Nev Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 I dont know Milford very well , But Melendy ? pond (be aware of where you park, please dont block driveways and access , and Lincoln Pond. Both offer some shore fishing. Wilton reservoir , Baboosic lake has some good area to fish from shore also, right at the public beach Quote
Super User Shane J Posted October 2, 2013 Super User Posted October 2, 2013 Wish I could help, but I barely even know how to get to Milford, and I haven't shore fished in a dog's age. Sorry. I'd just start running around on Google Earth, and find some water. You may just discover a secret spot with some lunkers in it! Quote

Hopefully I might try some trout fishing as well I hear the bites good in october Quote
MikeOGNR Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 Any of you guys fish Potanipo lately in Brookline? looking maybe to fish there because I bet there's another 10lber in there. Quote
Super User Shane J Posted October 3, 2013 Super User Posted October 3, 2013 Doubtful. Probably the most over fished piece of water in the state. You want a real shot at a 10 pounder in NH? Fish Highland Lake in Stoddard. I have personally seen a 10+ in there. 1 Quote
NEjitterbugger Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Last time I was there I saw a good 5.5 or 6 jump right out of the water.... No tens in there, and if there is it is just going to sit at the bottom of the lake Quote
Nashua Nev Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 wilton reservoir , wilton water supply, just dont walk in the water, canoe kayak is ok. just dont get wet. you can walk a lot of it. , google it. i cannot remember how to get there. The backside to the right is where i found the best fishing. Quote

Super User Shane J Posted October 3, 2013 Super User Posted October 3, 2013 Gotta be some small, out of the way places you can find, and have pretty much all to yourself maybe. Quote
nhbassin Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Gotta be some small, out of the way places you can find, and have pretty much all to yourself maybe. My 2 biggest largemouth have been out of small ponds that dont get much pressure at all for bass. Bing maps is also a good tool to use along with google maps for finding spots if an area doesnt come up clear on google maps. 1 Quote
YungAngler Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 So i pulled the trigger on the NuCanoe. Picked up a trolling motor and battery today. I'm taking her out for the first time tomorrow. I usually hit Mendums or Swain's - I live in Portsmouth. Anyone have any other rec. of lakes off 16 with good boat access? always get great advice on here. Quote
mhtranger Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 What time are you going? I will be on Mendums around 2pm. Quote
YungAngler Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 What time are you going? I will be on Mendums around 2PM I'm heading out in the AM, but I will be on the water all day. Not too often I get a day off from work. Where can i put my boat in at Mendums? I always go to the UNH rec. center and I believe they are closed after Sept. Quote
mhtranger Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 There is a dam on the far end off of Mendums landing road not to far off of 4 that you could park on the side of the road and carry in. It is right in the middle of a left hand corner. Other than that I'm not sure. I was out on the 1st and UNH was open about 3 for sailing. Quote

The rec. center is open to UNH students only after Sept. I don't mind carrying in, but I may be solo, so I hope its not too far of a hike. Quote
bobh64 Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 I talked to someone who owns a camp on Swains, he said the association is lowering the lake later this year then normal. Now just have to wait for all the weeds to get away from the ramp. On the good news fish are biting and rage craw black with blue was preferred bait today over 2 dozen total for the day. I'm in Portsmouth also but my boat is full size so I have to have a ramp accessible lake. Good luck all. 2 Quote
MikeOGNR Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Anyone know of any good ways of how I could put a fish finder onto my canoe? Quote
