Hit Crooked Pond in Loudon and Turee pond in Bow today.  Didn't catch anything at crooked, but caught a 1 1/3 lb LMB at Turee on a black and blue power lizard on a c-rig.  First bass this year for me in limited fishing time.

Got out today from 2-6:30pm. Caught 1 bass, a little under 2lbs, and about 15-20 pickeral (lost count).

I couldn't find the bass but the Picks were everywhere.

[unhbass37]

Thanks guys. I hope I'm back on track, but I never get to cocky.

Had an interesting day of fishing with my dad. After a couple slow weekends of bass fishing I went out trolling for salmon on Winni today. 3 hours after sunrise and still no bites, so I decided to try a little deeper and prmptly hooked into a nice lake trout. Then, around noon, after a couple passes near a rocky point I moved a little shallower. At first I thought I was catching bottom because all four rods in the boat bent over. Turns out we trolled right through a group of active smallies. We landed 3 nice smallmouth and the 4th threw the hook while we were reeling in the others. I've been told when smallies start to hit lures at a steady trolling speed they're gearing up for, or are already in, the prespawn period. After that we cut the motor and caught a couple more casting, but we had to be off the water by 2 pm. They were right in the rocks 20 feet down, and water was 49 degrees. They were all in the 2-3 pound range. I'll be on that spot next weekend for sure. Never did catch any salmon

I do not even fish there anymore becaue of how busy it is.

Glad to see people are having luck!

Got out today for a few hours. First place I hit was Hudson Speedway pond which was a waste of time. I don't believe there to be any fish in there. Then I hit OTTERNICK POND and caught 2 bass and one pickerel. Bass were decent 1lbs 14oz and a 1lbs 10oz. No pigs but it's something. Hope everyone else is doing well also.

[nashua fisherman]

i got to admit trout fishing isnt really my thing. still fishing with powerbait is pretty boring to me, although that trout tasted good. i might try slamon fishing next month.

i have a good feeling about otternic this year. it seems like the weed kill may have actualy helped the fishery. the pond used to be 2/3 weeds by summer so im hopping the extra room will allow the fish to grow a little bigger.

Started out at the CT River around noon today. Missed a few fish, caught a couple pics and a smallie which was in 4 feet of water a 1/2 mile back in a setback :-/ All bites came on jigs

Picked up and went to a lake a little closer to home around 4ish. Ended up with 6 smallies and 2 largemouth there. All but two smallmouth came on a Zara Spook! Can't beat the topwater bite.

2 days ago I fished the Hudson speedway pond and got nothing... Not even a bite..

[unhbass37]

Yeah that place is a waste of time. I could not even find bait fish on the fish finder and that is not a good sign. It also looks really contaminated. There are alot better place to try for sure.

Nice Smallies Fmoore.  What do you fish out of?

[Waylo]

Went out to Haunted lake last Thursday. We didn't catch many fish, i think it was 7 total but they were all dinks. However this did happen on the water....

Amazing!! For those who watch, there's 3 minutes of your life you'll never get back ;D

Thanks for sharing!  That was freaken hilarious!  I think my IQ just went down 20 points!

Is there any shore fishing I can do at Otternic..??

[SausageFingers23]

Is there any shore fishing I can do at Otternic..??

I think you're options are pretty limited from shore.  I have only driven down to the launch briefly though.  There are others on here who can probably provide a better answer.

[unhbass37]

Just the launch. It is not the best place to fish either. Personally the best place for shore fishing is Mill Pond. I would just wait a few more weeks though. I'm sure fishing will pick up there.

i caught a bass there once over by the inlet on the speedway side. i wouldnt waste my time there either.

the canal is good too. weve done best for bass at the mill yard entrance to mines falls. also, sandy pond off of lake st has some bass if your limited to shore fishing.

we caught a bass, a crappie and a few pickeral at otternic last night.

[fmoore]

Thanks guys! I fish out of a 1989 16 foot Deep V Tracker. Not my first choice, but my dad bought it new so it costs next to nothing (for me anyway).

And as to the pike, my tourney partner's 8 year old son just caught an 11 pound 3 oz...2 oz bigger than mine. Looks like I gotta get a bigger one

I agree, I've been up there twice this season with no luck..

I like you can fish almost that whole pond, then you also got the Merrimack as well.. Not to mention like you guys said, also fish the canal..

I have had good luck last year shore fishing Arlington pond.. Caught more from shore than out in the boat..
