I am thinking of going up to Lake Sunapee for an overnight Friday and was looking for any info I could get on the lake. Is it worth the 90 mile drive from central Mass or is there another place that would be better for Large Mouths.. I would like to stay about 2 hours from central Mass as I live just about 30 minutes east of I-91 and about 10 miles south of the NH border. Thanks for any info

I am curious as to where your going and when in May you are going?? I take it your pulling a boat?

Your probably right on that. It looks like I will be staying just south of Burlington and putting in at Shelburne bay. I plan on coming out of the bay and heading south and working the eastern shoreline. I am planning on starting down by Cedar beach and working to shoreline from there south..

Thanks and can you enlighten me, what is a bucket head? I am only looking for LMB I really have no concern for smallies

Thanks for the info. I think I want to be more around Burlington though, as I am taking my wife and that way she has things she can do while I am fishing!!

I am heading to Champlain late next week, though not for the tournament, and could use all the info and help I can get. Everything from licensing to what to use and where to go, IE north end south, east west. Also any info on where to stay, if possible I would prefer a place with their own ramp and maybe docks to leave it tied up at night. I dont know if they have that there. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. you can also e mail me directly at bluewingjb@comcast.net Thanks Wes

I am heading up there myself though not for the tournament. It will be my first time there, I understand the southeast side is pretty reliable. I am looking for LMB, no need for smallies. I could use and help at all concerning what to use and where to use it along with where to stay. Thanks for any help. You can e mail me directly at bluewingjb@comcast.net One other thing, I will be staying in Vermont so is that where I need to get my license? Will it cover me all over the lake? Thanks

I am thinking about watching the 4th of July Boston fire works from my boat in the Charles. I am trying to find a place where I can put in? Any ideas?? I would prefer to keep it on the brackish side and out of the Salty side... Thanks for any help

Ok so I was looking at my pond maps for Mass and see that Otis Reservoir is 1200+ acres!! Thats a nice size, now how is the fishing there?? Anybody have any info such as what part of the lake and what type of baits?? Its not that far from me but I would like to have as much info as possible before trailering the boat the 80 miles there.. Thanks Wes

Anybody have any tips or info on Lake Congamond in Southwick Mass?? I am going there Sunday morning and would like any info that is available!! Thanks Wes

Well it seems the fish are finally starting to bite!! Now can we all be a little more specific as to where we were?? I have had luck in the island areas at Whitehall reservoir in Hopkinton.. Caught 3 nice ones last Saturday afternoon, temps in the low 80s clear light wind. Black 5" yamasenko with NO weight. Just let it fall then bounce it along the bottom..

Personnally I wouldnt fish there, that lake is nasty dirty!! My boat looked terrible after coming out of that lake! Try Whitehall reservoir!! Its where the pike and 495 intersect!! Nice lake, clean, no skiers and good fishing!

Well tomorrow its going to be in the mid to high 50s and the lake is clear from ice so I am finally getting my new boat in the water and going to try out my new rods and reels!! Hitting a little local pond off RT122 out of Barre!!!

I am in Templeton and hit Wampanoag, also called Camp Collier, a quite a bit though last year wasnt as good as 2007. Another favorite of mine is Whitehall reservoir which is in Hopkinton right where the Pike and 495 cross. I also had some luck in East Brimfield Lake and Long Pond at Rutland State park.. Just outside of Barre on 122.. Also went to Lake Cochituate in Framingham and had some luck though didnt get to fish it as much as I wanted to due engine troubles. I really want to go back there at is has a lot of shoreline thats undeveloped and lots or points and coves. The only problem with it is the angle of the boat ramp, its very steep. The ramp is wide enough to launch 15 boats at the same time but the angle is a little steep though it could be due to the lake being down a little when I was there. Check it out on Google maps and you will see all the coves and points I am talking about.

A little clarification. Ok I have never fished this lake before so I have no idea of where to go or even where things are. Where would be the best place to stay? I will be staying overnight and could use some tips on a place to stay!! Also what kind of baits work well?? Black Yamasenko are one of my go to bait. Are the fish in the shallow or deeper, like crank bait deep. When would be the best time to go?? Spring or Summer?? Thanks for any help!
