wannabefisherman Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 Hi everybody! I'm pretty new to this forum, and to bass fishing all together. I'm still in school and have just started taking intrest in fishing without bait and hook. Anyway, i need a little bit of advice. I live around in NH, around the south-eastern border of Maine. Anyway, it's been getting pretty cold in the mornings, around 45 degrees, and getting pretty nice around the middle of the day to afternoon, about 65-75 degrees. Anyway, I fish the Salmon Falls River ( for those of you near where I am you know there hasn't been many salmon in it in a long time :'(. Anyway, the river tends to get pretty shallow along straight runs, and I can catch a lot of different types of fish in it. Sunfish, Brown Trout, Some Largemouth Bass, things like that. Well, a bit farther sownstream from one of the bridges is a small isolated pond of water with barely any current. There's a little bit of current leading into and out of it, it has many rocks and weeds on the bottom to get caught on. I've tried a brown curly tailed grub the other day, but I only got 1 bit, and the thing got away too. Any advice on different types of lures to use here? Oh ya it is like 2-3 feet near the stream openings and at least 7 feet in the middle. Quote
frogtog Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 Welcome to the forum. I would try the senko rigged wacky stile. This will usually get the attention of any fish that are around. ( wacky is when you insert the hook through the middle of the worm with the point exposed.) Good Luck. Quote

Tokyo Tony Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 Sounds like an in-line spinner could do the trick - I love using those in rivers. Quote

S I G M A Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 inline spinners definetly will work... a lighter color like yellow works wonders for me in those kind of situations Quote
dman Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 I would go with a Senko and cast into the slow current that is coming into this pool and let the current push the senko in there. Give it some small twitches and HANG ON!! Quote
CJ Posted September 20, 2007 Posted September 20, 2007 Welcome to the forum! I probally couldn't help you very much cause really there are alot of things that will work but it has more to do with what will work for you. I really think reading the articles from this website would be a great place to start. Quote
Super User MALTESE FALCON Posted September 20, 2007 Super User Posted September 20, 2007 Welcome aboard. I wouldn't give-up on the grub yet, and the in-line spinners should do the trick too. Falcon Quote
wannabefisherman Posted September 20, 2007 Author Posted September 20, 2007 is an inline spinner the same as a normal spinner? :-/ im a bit confused on that one Quote
Super User .ghoti. Posted September 20, 2007 Super User Posted September 20, 2007 Sounds like a good place for a shallow running crankbait. Welcome aboard. Cheers, GK Quote
wannabefisherman Posted September 21, 2007 Author Posted September 21, 2007 Ahh i get it now. Well i'll try out tomorrow after school. any more advice until then is much appreciated. Quote
eastkybass Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 Welcome to the site. If the water is that slow moving you might be able to go with some type of topwater bait. Quote
