Mainebass1985 Posted November 7, 2017 Posted November 7, 2017 3 hours ago, JQ-92 said: Heading out tomorrow to fish Dublin lake for some small mouth. Figured I'd have better luck fishing for small mouth than large mouth this time of year. Any tips on how to catch them so late in the fall? what kind of depths I should be fishing? I've always struggled catching fish late in the season. I'm thinking a weightless texas rig, Hair jig, and jerkbait? Any tips are greatly appreciated! Drop shot, silver buddy, jig, underspin or a spybait fished near rocky offshore structure in 15-25 ft of water near a steep drop off. That should work for ya. I personally favor the jig for largemouth and the silver buddy for smallies right now.... 2 Quote

nhbassin Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 Hey NH guys, It is still going to be a few more weeks, but the ponds and lakes in southern NH are beginning to open up. What are the first baits you guys plan to throw this spring when targeting icy-cold largemouth? Quote
Phil_NH Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 Well, going to be heading out this weekend onto the Nashua River to check out some spots and run some electronics and see what I can see. I will report back any info I got. Usually start finding Pickerel and the some smaller bass with a jerkbait around this time of year, but we'll see. Anyone ever fish Otternic in Hudson NH? Is it any good? 1 Quote

Is it any good? I fished it probably 7 years ago. Not worth the time. I'm pretty sure they kill the weeds often there. Quote
Nashua Nev Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 Otternic is on the rebound, let me know how you do. Nashua river is big and tough to learn. it has a lot of hidden underwater structure. It has some really nice bass. 1 Quote
Phil_NH Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 Well, I went out Saturday onto the Nashua, and not surprisingly it was pretty quiet out there. Didn't expect any thing really, so I wasn't let down. A day of bad fishing is better than no fishing. Spent most of the time running my electronics around the Tilton st. area, heading down towards the dam and going up and stopping near Bartemus Brook. Water temps were at 35. Was nice to get a better look at the river floor, seeing where the drop offs are and I even found some new structures way down deep I didn't even know were there. Got a nice collection of waypoints for spring. Fingers crossed this next storms the last winters got lol. 2 Quote

Phil_NH Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 Not a bass, but a good sign I'll be on them soon. Last few years its been Perch to start with, then Pickrel and then the Bass. So at least things are moving right along. Spent a few hours Friday, on the Nashua River, searching around with a jerkbait (Rapala shadow rap). Quote
kroberts9 Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 What lakes are open in southeast Nh if any right now. I live in raymond nh and need to get some practice in before my trail starts in tr he end of april Quote
MainelyBASS Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 No giants yet in Maine, but I caught my first fish in February, and caught 5 yesterday. The string of mild days pulls fish up out of the winter holes very quickly. 1 Quote
JQ-92 Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 Caught my first bass of the season yesterday in southern NH. Caught it on a white Weighted tube. 1 Quote
Phil_NH Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 Enormous Bass!!!! Almost flipped the kayak over !!! New PB!!! lol Seriously though, lots of these little guys in the Nashua. Lots of fun. Got em all on Rebel Pop R. 1 Quote
kroberts9 Posted April 1, 2018 Posted April 1, 2018 Starting to open up in southeast NH. My 1st trip will be 4/8 on massbessic man I'm stoked Quote
RMcDuffee726 Posted April 3, 2018 Posted April 3, 2018 Happy Spring gentlemen! I was going to do a big write up with all the fishing that I have been doing and my results, but I opted for the lazy way out; I am going to just quickly post a screenshot of my log thus far for 2018. The fishing hasn't been too great, but I cannot complain! 1 1 Quote
Nashua Nev Posted April 3, 2018 Posted April 3, 2018 nice log greag info. i still use pencil for mine, but you forgot the important stuff. what were you wearing and what beer did you drink ? i assume you also log name of pond but left it off on purpose. Quote

Very true, Nev! I did leave the locations of where I fished out of the screenshot, but I can tell you the first location which accounts for my first two log entries. Round Pond, Nashua NH. It was the only place that was unfrozen at the time. The third log entry is from Robinson Pond, Hudson NH. The last entry is a place that is close to my heart Quote

I believe NH Fish and Game have it at 130 acres. I have never personally put too much time into it so I cannot say too much about it. I have no doubt that some of the guys within this forum have put some serious time on Robinson though. Does anyone have any information on Robinson Pond in Hudson NH? Quote

Bummer on the pressure, but like you said it is fairly large. It does give a little more of a challenge too. Quote
