Anyone have any luck in SOUTHERN NH yet?

I caught about a dozen Smallies at Pawtuckaway with a white spinner bait. It was fun , there are no smallmouth bass where I'm from. They hit the spinnerbait almost as soon as it hit the water, it was like I was hitting them in the head.

I took a bicture with my blackberry but the file is too large to post . i'll work on that

got out on Massesecum at 8:00am this morning. Winds were blowing at least 10-15mph when I got there, and cranked up to what felt like 30 mph by the time I eventually left. I managed to catch a lot of good quality fish in boulders around the islands and surrounding points. The biggest was a 4 lb 9 oz beauty LMB that I caught in very shallow water just off a large rock at the point of a cove.

Nice job Jay. 4 pounders are nice fish. I am going out on Friday in the tracker with hopes of catching a few myself.

Nice job Jaystraw.Fishing in the wind can be a double-edged sword.Boat and lure control can be very challenging in a strong wind.Despite the wind you had a good day.

I hesitate to take my rowboat on windy days but often have success when I do.

Today the wind was blowing very hard all day on Turee pond.I arrived at 6pm and the wind was still coming pretty hard from the NW.I found LMB along the shoreline that had been pounded by the wind all day.I landed 4 bass in 15 min. on t-rigged senkos.The largest was 20 inches long,my biggest of the year so far.

Thanks I was just coming back to edit the post to add the pic, but I'll just post it here:

I'll tell you, I'm pretty sure I need a new scale. It looked like a five pounder when I caught it, and the pic makes me think it might be.

[unhbass37]

Looks like a five pounder to me.

Should have said 5 right from the start. Nobody would have questioned you! Good to see everyone doing well lately. I think the post spawn blues may be beginning to wear off in most bigger lakes. I caught 13 Friday night with 4 over 3 pounds and I've been off the water since then.

Our boat needs a new trailer and since it's an 89 we decided to upgrade a little to a ~10 year old boat in the 18 foot range give or take (If anyone knows of anything I'd appreciate a heads up).

On a side note, if anyone's interested in a 1989 16 foot deep V Tracker with new power, let me know. 2 fish finders, GPS, everything works, just needs a trailer.

june 9th in the turtle pond in concord nh , my 11 yr old son , out of the lilly pads 25 feet from the boat launch

that was it for the 4 hours we were there

Got out to BIP again today with a friend from work and did well. I caught 7 in about 2 hours. 3 smallies and 4 LMB. I also caught my PB smallie at 2lbs 3oz 8-). Very excited. He on the other caught the big O. Kinda stinks when you take someone out fishing and you catch all the fish. I will say he is new to fishing and I'm sure he will out fish me soon. Fun time none the less. Here is a picture of the smallie.

Tom let me know if you want to go out tomorrow around 4pm

[Shane J]

My biggest of the year so far 6lbs 5oz, caught with weightless Rage Tail Lizard (junebug dipped in chartreuse JJ's)

Check out the above link deak...They don't look like the most durable baits.

Shane - Nice pig. Was that fish caught today?

[Shane J]

Yeah Fmoore, out today in the rain! Caught a bunch of nice fish today while it was raining, then when it cleared up, the bite slowed way down.

another beauty Shane. Congrats 

[Shane J]

Thanks guys! My wife caught a nice 3 pounder, too on a jig with Baby Craw on it, then she left me to fish in the rain, and my next cast got that beauty.

[deaknh03]

thanks fmoore, They are probably going up for sale very soon.

[228TO603]

I'm going to go fishing somewhere early tomorrow morning. It will have to be somewhere from shore. Anybody have any suggestions ?.  there are houses all over the place on Baboosic so thats out, I could go back to Weare and fish Everett Dam? I have had enough of Pawtuckaway State Park (it looks like you could do some business in a boat though), the Manchester ponds are nasty looking...anywhere else that might be worth a shot ?

[Shane J]

What, you guys been sleeping? I'll be out with a few guys in car toppers tomorrow on Crooked pond in Loudon if anyone wants to help break this pond down tomorrow between 2:00pm and dark.

[unhbass37]

I got out today, but just didn't post.Had a slow day and only caught 2. They were both in the mid 2 pound range.

[bwillis]

Hey Shane, how's the fishing on Crooked Pond?  I went out there sometime in late April for like an hour and didn't have any luck, and I haven't had a chance to get out there since.

[Shane J]

Well, tell you the truth, I've had a hard time there, but hoping to reverse that tomorrow. My friend who will be there tomorrow caught a 7lb bass there a few days ago. Don't tell him I told you.

[unhbass37]

I'm sure you will find her Shane. Good Luck.
