SausageFingers23 Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 Im going to see if I can get to Heads Pond in Hooksett this evening. I bought this inflatable Kayak I want to give a spin. It makes it so much easier to get into places that arent readily accessible for larger, heavier boats and I can carry it myself. If I do get out, Ill let you know how I do. Good luck today if youre fortunate enough to get on the water. Quote
unhbass37 Posted July 28, 2009 Author Posted July 28, 2009 Yes let me know. I am always up to try a different place. Good Luck. Quote
SausageFingers23 Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Hit up Heads Pond in Hooksett last night with some friends. Did well. We caught a number of bass in the short period of time we were there, all pretty good size and they fought exceptionally well. Lots of lilly pads in there. They were tough to punch through. We were dropping plastics in the small gaps. Fish were boiling deep in the pads but none of us had a weedless frog to pitch in there. I will be heading out to get one or two now though. We did get a couple of strikes as our lures were sitting on pads but the fish clearly missed them. Pretty cool to watch anyway. Access is a bit tricky, as you have to carry down a gravel path to a trail in the woods where you can put in. No formal launch. The inflatable I have was perfect. The pond doesnt look to get much pressure. I'll probably be making more trips out there. Unfortuantely I didnt bring the camera in the inflatable. I didnt want to chance getting it wet. Quote
unhbass37 Posted July 29, 2009 Author Posted July 29, 2009 Way to go SausageFingers23. Thanks for the info also. I hit up Rocky Pond today and caught 7 largemouth biggest was 1lbs 10oz and 3 Smallmouth. I was very happy to finally catch some smallmouth. Biggest smallie was 1lbs 7oz. Boy do they fight and I had one heck of a time tring to weight it. I will say one thing about the fish I caught they were very thin so I assume there are not alot of bait fish. I did not get any bluegill hits on the senkos and that is very rare. Here are some pictures. Quote
NHfroggin Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Nice fish UNH! I got out this morning to kingston lake, i haven't fished there all season and I'm glad i went. caught 10 bass and a ton of pickerel. The biggest lmb was 3lbs 4oz!! all fish were caught on watermelon trick sticks. here are a couple pics! -matt- Quote
unhbass37 Posted July 29, 2009 Author Posted July 29, 2009 Thats a nice pig bassmaster6. Good job. Is Kingston Lake big enough for a Bass Tracker or would the inflatable be better? Quote
SausageFingers23 Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Great job UNH and bassmaster. Im glad we all had success with out latest outings. Just a general question - have you guys noticed how warm the water has been in the lakes? The water in Heads Pond was actually hot. It felt like bath water. I was amazed. The bass were still pretty agressive, though they were buried deep in cover. Ive experienced this on a couple of other ponds as well recently and I cant remember the water ever being this warm. Quote
unhbass37 Posted July 29, 2009 Author Posted July 29, 2009 Ya I can. Water was 79 where I was today and that's pretty warm. I have seen it up to 82 last year. Got to try to fish early or late now for the best luck. Quote
NHfroggin Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Thanks unh and Sausage. UNH-you could go either way, if it was my choice i would take the bass tracker, i took my 14' v-hull with just my 50lb thrust bow mount and it was a longgg ride back to the launch prob 20-30 minutes, In clarks its called Great Pond, if you end up going let me know!! ill meet you out there. Sausage- Some of the smaller lakes i have been fishing have been warm i would guess water temps 75 maybe closer to 80, i wish i had a fish finder to tell. -matt- Quote
NHfroggin Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Ya I can. Water was 79 where I was today and that's pretty warm. I have seen it up to 82 last year. Got to try to fish early or late now for the best luck. Deff true today, most fish came before 8am, after that it slowed alot but they were still agressive and up in the shallows. -matt- Quote
nashua fisherman Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 got out for a few hours after work with unhbass and we each caught a boatload of bass. we each caught a couple two+ pounders along with at least another 25 bass a peice weighting a pound or less. i got lucky and caught a 4.10#'er. this has to be one of the best fishing trips ive ever had. thanks again to unhbass for braving the rain. sorry i got us lost on the way back.

unhbass37 Posted July 30, 2009 Author Posted July 30, 2009 Thanks for asking me to go. I agree what a fun time. Glad you were able catch the hawg this time. Quote
baboosicbass08 Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 Great job unh and nashuafisherman, sounds like a heck of a day. I got out for about an hour then it started getting really dark and because I have the soft top on my jeep now i can't stay out in the rain because the only way I can transport my boat is with the top down or it will tear the top, so that kinda limits my fishing when it starts getting dark and rains on its way, I ended up going to Melendy pond again and managed a few decent ones, no pics today discovered the camera batteries were dead when I got out there.

catchbig0bass Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 Nashua fisherman nice bass. I got out last night and tried a new spot. Over at the bk in londonderry on 102 in between that and the cracker barrell restaraunt. Looks like a really nice spot thats just loaded with bass although got skunked. Quote
nashua fisherman Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 thanks. me and unhbass got out again for a few hours this morning until it started raining. the fishing was real slow but we each managed a 3+ pounder. altogether ide say we caught about 12 fish. unh also caught a 2+ pounder. Quote
unhbass37 Posted August 2, 2009 Author Posted August 2, 2009 Got out today and caught 11 Bass. Biggest was 3lbs 11oz and quiet a few 2+ pounders. Here are some pictures. Great day on the water. Anyone else get out this weekend? Quote
catchbig0bass Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 got out last night up to massabesic had a great time. walked about a mile in off of 28. found a perfect spot. I got skunkrd however the gf caught a small crappie about a 10 inch catfish which was really cool. and about a 13inch lm bass. she was really happy seeing as she never catches anything but the sun fish. coming out of there about 1am was a little scary with only 1 led headlamp. gf is petrified of the dark so it was funny for me.

unhbass37 Posted August 3, 2009 Author Posted August 3, 2009 Nice catchbig0bass . Catfish huh, we haven't caught one of those since last year. Is she hooked now? Quote
catchbig0bass Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 yes shes officially hooked. heres a 2lber i got over the weekend. pick looks funny becuase he was actually just done flopping when she took the pic. Quote
nashua fisherman Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 nice fish guys. unhbass, where did you go? catchbigbass, did you build that bridge? Quote
catchbig0bass Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 I didnt build the bridge that is there presently I built a different one but after it fell apart I removed all the wood and stuff and I walked back there a few days later and the bridge their now was up. Pretty sturdy actually just have to mind the last board it sinks in and u just have to quickly walk off. One of these days I am going to build a really nice one there. Take it you have been fishing over their? Anyluck? Quote
catchbig0bass Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 Just an idea! We should probably consolidate this thread and the shoutout to NH fisherman. Seems like we are all posting around the general area! Maybe start a totally new one thats just NH fishing and lock this and the shoutout thread. Maybe make things a little more organized. Quote
unhbass37 Posted August 3, 2009 Author Posted August 3, 2009 We have been through that subject already. I just post on both. It was my mistake. All NH people are more then welcome to post here also. Quote
catchbig0bass Posted August 3, 2009 Posted August 3, 2009 Alright so then we get everyone from NH over to this thread lol. Quote
