  Theres a tackle shop in merideth just off rt3  not far from the winnepesaukee boat ramp,... heading south its part way up the hill,..I think its maple st,. and mill st's connection. They had some maps there. and some of the general stores in the area might have some as well.  

  As for largemouth? the western end of little squam, and squaw, and deep coves.

Smallies? they are everywhere. potato and perch islands area, and anywhere around long island is usually decent,

  But again, be careful. even on the trolling motor, trim the primary motor up some. The water is usually crystal clear and the shallow rocks that are submerged can be decieving.

Awesome. Thabks a bunch, Keith! I'll let you know how I do

I got out last night from 5:15 - 7 and caught 10 largemouth. The notable fish were a 3.2 on a zara spook, which hit while the bait wasn't moving, as well as a 4+ on a jerkbait, also hitting on the pause. Water temps were down to 63 and it seemed like the better quality fish were a little hesitant to hit faster moving baits like spinnerbaits and squarebills.

That's a bummer.  BPS's prices are higher than Cabelas.

True but just like Dick's sporting goods Cabela's could never order the right product for us bass fishermen they always ordered the junk stuff and ran out of the good stuff. at least bass pro they were always full. But I really miss northern bass supply.

I Just spoke with her about a wk and half ago, she sold to tackle supply depot and still handles some of the sales.  It was easy to drive up to No. Bass Supply and usually get what you wanted. Still bummed about Cabelas,  I hate BPS, the place is poorly lit, and a lot of times they are sold out or don't have the color you want, and they're always pushing BPS brand.  I try to do my business with Granite State Rod and Reel, Joe Catalano is a straight shooter and a wealth of knowledge.

Nice water, Rust pond next to it has a good size bass population because of the lake smelts but expect to fish 20ft of water when the water cools down.

Will look into rust yea I've come to find out the offshore in 8-15ft of water is where the bass are

Just fished Moore reservoir today fished. It hard with red and white gigantic paddle tail swimbaits for pike. Had 1 pike netted he was roughly 33 inches and we had a big follower. Definetly a fun trip all fish were caught in coves or inlets roughly 10-15ft of water in 58 degree water temp range. 

[MikeOGNR]

Went out today in the 25 mph winds fished rattle traps and swim jigs and absolutely slayed them. 9 fish total all within 3 hours. FALL FISHING IS ON TODAY 

[MikeOGNR]

Went to one of my favorite fisheries in lyndeboro small little hard to get to pond where the big ones live and the fish are always Biting. Well today we had 3 fish all on lipless cranks. My favorite the spro arkadu shad in golden shiner color. Was a good day bass fishing still is hot so get out there and rip lips

[MikeOGNR]

Went out today another pretty good fishing day had 8 fish buddy got onto atleast a 4-5lber and right at the boat spat his lure. All fish were caught on the spro Arku shad lipless cranks. In golden shiner, yellow perch, and crawdad color these baits have been money this October and November. Get on out there there still biting

I got out on the water yesterday for 2 hours and had nothing to show for it. There was a steady breeze and water temps were 49. I started with targeting the few remaining pieces of live vegetation on the lake with a slow-rolled spinnerbait. Next I moved to a jerkbait on a large shallow flat where sunfish were present. I then focused on downed trees with a jig, and finally a spook in some backwater areas and I just couldn't put anything together. I did mark a few fish about 2 feet off the bottom in 14 feet of water, so if I make it out again this week I may try to entice them with a drop shot instead. Anyone else in NH getting out on the water still?

[Nashua Nev]

A few in a small pond down here in Nashua. Nothing bigger than 3 lbs but they are there. Weightless rage craw in pb/j color bumping it around really slow on the bottom in 8 to 10 feet where it drops from 4 to 8 pretty quick.   I did not get water temp.

Threw some slow rolling spinners and a stanley top toad really slow.  I small hit on the toad but no hook up fishing where the bright sun was warming the water.   Much like us they like to bask in the sun and warm up. Keep the sun in front of you so you dont spook them with your shadow.  Water tends to get really clear with so much not growing.

 I was in NH smallie fishing  a week or so ago. I was catching quality 3-4 smallies fishing a silver buddy in 15-25 ft of water along the drop off of a rocky hump that was way way off shore. Biggest 5 went 18 lbs 9 oz with a 4 lb 1 oz lunker.

This past weekend the silver buddy bite was on in VT too, a bunch of 3s. Lunker was 3-9.

In Maine yesterday a crankbait got it done. Water was stained, fish wouldn't touch a jig. I caught 6 bass in 5 hours, 4-7,4-4,3-0,3-0,2-15, and 2-9. I lost a good one at the end of the day.

I have good luck this time of year getting away from the shore line. Deep off shore isolated structure and cover.

Well, they're still biting. This one was yesterday in northern MA, but this November has just been out of this world. Between my spots in NH, Maine, and this one in MA I have half a dozen that have gone 5 or better just this month alone, with plenty of others in between.  This one went 7.21 LB

Last Friday I ventured to my favorite smallmouth spot in NH, the weather and fishing was amazing. The silver buddy bite was on fire. In 5 hours I caught 6 largemouth, 2-12, 2-13, 2-13, 3-5, 3-6 and 4-0. I caught 12 smallmouth, 8 over 3 lbs and 1 over 4, 3-3, 3-1, 3-0, 4-1, 3-0, 3-10, 3-10, 3-4 and 3-10. The smallest smallie I caught was 2-11. I was fishing a silver buddy in 15-40 ft of water. I was catching them casting and video game fishing. It was dead calm which really helped with the video game fishing.

Sadly after 6 inches of snow and a long term forecast only in the 30s I'm not sure if I will be out in my boat again.
