bobh64 Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 Fished Arrowhead lake in Maine for a fun lunker tournament a few ounces from taking the money but that's how it goes. Lots of 1- 2lb fish, my big fish was a hair under 3 that I was able to show. I lost a big one by thinking I could lip it next to the boat it ended up freaking out when it saw my hand and snapping my line the wacky rig was attached to. So rule of thumb if money is involved use the freaking net Hope everyone got to enjoy this cooler weather outside. What worked anything that had red from worms, d bomb jigs, jig trailers (rage) and chatterbait trailer, Quote

llPa1nll Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 Any chance any of you local guys possibly selling a 24 volt trolling motor? I maybe in the market for a newer one as mine is currently being tested to see if it is worth fixing. Quote

Mainebass1984 Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 Fishing this past weekend was great. It sure did feel like fall out there. Saturday was real cold to begin the day at 34 degrees. The wind was calm and it was overcast. I was a bit underdressed for 34 degrees but I was fishing. The bite was a bit slow but productive. The jig seemed to be working best. About id day the bite started to pick. I went to one of y favorite spots around noon and the fish were there and biting. First cast on this sunken tree my jig never hit bottom. A big bass slammed it before it could hit bottom. I set the hook and the fight was on. After a couple strong surges it went completely airborne. It was a big bass. After a couple more surges I had it boat side. It pulled under the boat and when it came next to the boat again I had the net ready. She weighed in at 6 lbs 10 oz. I continues to fish the tree and catching some fish on a jig. I took a few casts with my favorite crankbait Caught a couple fish on that, biggest was 3 lbs even. I went back to the jig and on the first cast hooked into a decent bass. It weighed in at 4 lbs 12 oz. Once I had it in the boat I noticed it had a chartreuse rapala sticking out of its mouth. It seemed new. That fish had broken some ones line and the heart in the process. The fishing remained some what slow but productive. It started to rain. It was a bit cold for this time of year. It only managed a balmy 57 degrees for the high temp of the day. I fished until dark and boated a couple more decent fish, a 4 lbs 5 oz and 3 lb 0 oz. Sunday it was cold in the morning again. This time it was windy and there wasn't a single cloud in the sky. Fishing started off really good. In the first hour I boated 10 bass mostly on a jig and weightless worm. On my third cast of the day I hooked into a chunky largemouth on a weightless worm. About 10 minutes after that fish I was flippin some trees with my jig and hooked into a 4 lb 8 oz. It was pandemonium getting that fish in the boat. I hooked it way back in the tree, pulled it up an over 2 tree branches and got it unwrapped before I got it in the boat. Great start to the day. After the first hour of fishing the bite pretty much died. I went to the same productive main lake sunken trees that were so productive the day before. I couldn't get a single bite on a jig. The weightless worm wasn't producing well either. I caught a couple fish but nothing good on the worm. I did catch a 3 lb 0 oz on a crankbait. The fishing was slow. The wind was blowing. It wasn't warm. I figured it was going to be a tough day. After struggling for a couple hours I picked up another decent fish on a crankbait a 3 lb 10 oz. The crankbait was producing best it seemed. So I stuck with it. Went back to one of my favorite off shore spots I had already fished with a jig and a worm. I anchored the boat. First cast with the crankbait I feel it bump off the tree and then a huge fish loads up on it. The rod bends over double, the drag rips out and then snap. Gone. Busted my line. That was sad. I like an idiot hadn't retied after catching a pickerel. I told myself it was a pickerel that had just broke my line. I sat down and was eating my lunch when I hear something 15 feet away. It was a very large bass trying to jump and shack my lure fro its mouth. I got a pretty good look at it. It was big. I was disappointed. I know better I should have retied. Bummer. After I was done with my lunch I pick up the crankbait and cast it out. A big fish slams it. After jumping a couple times this one makes it in the boat. Not as big as the one that broke my line but a nice fish. Weighed in at 5 lbs 10 oz. A long somewhat skinny fish. I thought I had figured something out with the crankbait. I started spot hopping. I would catch a couple fish at each spot on a crankbait before moving on. Started catching fish on a more consistent basis. The biggest fish the rest of the day was a rather plump 5 lb 7 oz largemouth. The bite was good right up until dark. Before the end of the day I caught a 4 lbs 5 oz and another 3 lb 0 oz. Fall fishing is here. Now is the time to get out on the water and catch some. Big fish are biting now and will be biting until ice up. I am itching to get back out on the water. I a feeling a bit sick cough cough. Maybe a need a sick day or two ? 5 Quote
YungAngler Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 Anyone on the board fish the Lamprey River in Newmarket recently? I haven't been there since the spring for trout and was curious how the bass fishing has been? Thinking of dropping my kayak in tomorrow afternoon for a few hours. Quote
NEjitterbugger Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 This was from Saturday morning but never had a chance to share... Cold front was coming in and the fish were on fire, caught tons of 2.5 and got a nice 3.5 and 4.5 on spinnerbaits.... Here's the 4.5 5 Quote
NEjitterbugger Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 High School Qualifier is coming up on the 2nd! Beyond pumped for it! Last year we got 3rd at the quali and finished 6th or 7th at the championship... Our goal is to qualify again this year, and get 1st or 2nd at the championships which would give us the chance to fish in the national championship in TN! 7 Quote

Fly_Fisherman Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 I broke my collar bone last week so no fishing for a bit. However I will make sure I'm fishing by October 2nd to help Jitterbug and I qualify! Hopefully the fish cooperate. Quote
InfamousBG Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Fishing Pawtuckaway this coming Sunday. Any reccomendations as I have never fished this lake. Thanks Brian Quote
bobh64 Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Fishing tomorrow but I just don't know where yet, so many lakes to choose from. Quote

NEjitterbugger Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Nice fish Jitterbug. The fish were definitely biting on Saturday. The fall bite is heating up. Did you try a crankbait at all ? Good luck ! Where is the qualifier this year ? Have confidence, you get em ! The tournament is designed the same as last year... Qualifier on Winnipesauke and the Championship on Winnisquam And I didn't try a crankbait at all on Saturday... The last time I really fished a crank was on the 7th with Shane, nailed some pretty good smallies in the 2-3lbs range 1 Quote
bobh64 Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Did little ossipee ME today my friend didn't feel like fighting any NH traffic in the early morning hours. Caught about a dozen and a half. Most of the fish were caught on any wind blown points on the main lake. Inside the coves didnt produce anything. No big sizes all cookie cutter size but still fun to catch. Texas smoke worms wacky rigged. red/purple flash skirted chatter bait with a shad kietech gold flash swimbait. Don't know why but this produced the hits. Black jigs with berklys chigger craw (pumpkin seed green) All in all a good day no mater what. 1 Quote
Mainebass1984 Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Fishing yesterday was a grind. The fish in the lake my friend Brandon and I were fishing weren't very active at all. We did catch a few topwater fish on horny toads and frogs. The biggest fish came off of isolated off shore structure. We landed 18 bass for the day. Biggest were 4-12, 4-9, 3-14, 2-12 smallie and 2-12 largemouth. The wind and white caps were tough to deal with. Heading back out again today. Its much colder today and windy. Not a cloud in the sky. Not ideal conditions but you cant catch em if you don't go. Quote
mebisho Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 Had a good morning, about 15 lmb, 10 pickerel and 1 humongous bluegill. Then the wind kicked up and then things shut off 1 Quote
unhbass37 Posted September 20, 2014 Author Posted September 20, 2014 Anyone fish Canobie lake lately? Also do you know what the fine is for parking at the launch? I am not a salem resident and don't want to park at the pumping station. Quote
Super User Shane J Posted September 21, 2014 Super User Posted September 21, 2014 If I remember right, it's 15 bux. Worth it, if that's where you wanna fish. Quote
