nashua fisherman

been thrown out of there several times. there are a tone of small bass in there. there are also GIANT carp. plead ignorant if you get caught. dont waste your time at horseshoe. weve got skunked the last few times we were there. theres carp in there too. round isnt much better but weve caught bass, pickeral and sunfish there.

thanks, please keep me updated. we went back tonight and caught 2 bass, a perch, a crappie and a bluegill. i aslo caught my first pike. also, the boaters on this river have alot of class. we must have had atleast 6 big boats go by and none of them waked us. this was a first for me. it can get scary in a 10' boat when the 2-3ft waves come.

good job everybody!!!. we went to the concord river again and caught 2 bass, a perch, a crappie, and MY first nothern pike. i caught him trolling with a shallow babybass crankbait on the way back to the launch. this is the first time in a long time that i actualy outfished my wife. all she caught was a bluegill on a spinnerbait. i lost a BIG perch at the boat. derek, you need to get your mass liscence. i heard there are some 6-7# bass in there. theres suppossed to be a hotspot about 2 miles south of the launch.

last sunday me and my wife decided to fish the concord river off of rt.225 in carlile/bedford. we caught 5 bass averaging 1.5#'s and my wife caught a 3.5# northern pike. this was our first time there and we didnt remember our depth finder so we just casted towards the shore from about 20-30ft out. does anybody have any recomended spots or technics/lure suggestions for fishing this river. we'de love to catch a bigger pike. using anything other than a t-riged senco just dredged up algee. thanks in advance.---tom

ill call you when i get out of work after 3:00pm.

thanks.

got out from 10am to 1pm with my buddy rob yesterday. we caught several bass and pickeral. i caught my biggest this year(so far) and so did he. mine weighed 4.4 and his was 3#. most bass were caught in submerged trees and cove inlets.

have you tried horseshoe pond in concord? we shore fished it once and caught a few pickeral.

if you dont mind taking my buddy i bet we could get the tracker in there. when you go down to check it out, stop by the convenience store with the launch. they have a wall of pictures of 5+ pounders on the wall. theres smallies in there too.

thanks. we also found a spot to launch after B&H Oil. a guy i work with has a brother who has water rights to the pond so we'll probably launch from his access too. heard marine patrol is there quite often. wonder if i can get a ticket for being a non-resisdent?

im in but i need to give 7 working days notice to take a vacation day.

there are a bunch of kids fishing tournys for trout. they just had one in hampstead and sandown.

wow. thats a big hornpout!!! did you weigh it? were you fishing at the launch?

it was too windy for to take the boat out so we fished this bridge at arlington mill pond in salem nh while looking for a place to launch next time. we were only there for a short bit but we managed a few bass on senkos. this would be a good spot for someone who is shorebound. <http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=&daddr=42.835668,-71.226001&hl=en&geocode=&mra=mi&mrsp=0&sz=18&sll=42.835389,-71.22649&sspn=0.002895,0.006845&ie=UTF8&ll=42.835389,-71.22649&spn=0.002895,0.006845&t=h&z=18>

we only had a couple hours to fish today so we fished below the d**n behind margarita's in nashua. i caught two rock bass(first time ever seeing these) and one small mouth. then we went the mouth of the nashua river behind the skate park and my wife caught a couple nice smallies. all from the shore using senkos.

last time we were there i was wondering if it was even possible for them to spawn in those coditions. nice catch.

just got back from hopkinton pond. we caught 9 pickeral and threw everything too, senkos, spinnerbaits, crankbaits and even swimbaits. the other guys did better than us but we still had a great time. it was nice meeting you guys. nice boats. were ready to do it again when you are. nice body of water and not as big as we thought. anyways heres the first two fish we caught. did you guys get any pictures? any stump marks on the nitro?

np. weve had our best luck for crappie using charctuce(yellow) strikeking mini-king 1/8oz spinnerbaits. you can also float a charctuce jig/grub under a bobber when its windy. that drives them nuts.

thats the place. im not advocating breaking the law, but we used to fish there quite a bit before we had our liscences. never seen any cops there, just people walking there dogs. the best spots are near the beaver dams. watch out for the black water snakes, there pretty aggresive. lots of sunnies in there too.

we get 99% of our gear from sports authority and walmart. theres also a guy in nashua, nashua rod&reel i think, that has alot of good stuff. if you are really just targeting bass you might be wasting your time at lovewell. i have fished there quite a bit and never caught a bass there. it is a great crappie pond though. if you follow the road lovewell is on a little further you will see some boulders on the same side of the road. there are some trails there and if you follow them down the is a small pond that has easy access all the way around. it is full of small bass. it is in dunstable, ma. although it doesnt have a name, we call it "bass pond". you will know your there when you see all the dog crap from people not picking it up when they wlk there dogs there. <http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=lovewell+pond+nashua&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Lovewell+Pond&ll=42.700573,-71.523507&spn=0.011606,0.02738&t=h&z=16>

got out to flints pond in tyngsboro with the wife today and we caught 5 bass and 4 pickeral. everything was caught on senkos in the pads down back. we could actualy see the wake as they were going after our baits. pretty cool.

we wont be able to make it to the launch until 8:00am. we will definetly be there though unless its windly like today. we went ther today to check it out. threw a couple spinnerbaits from the launch and pulled up some weeds. we have actualy fished here before from the shore. looking forward to meeting everybody. who's going?

went to flints pond in hollis withthe wife yesterday and we caught 11 fish. 3 bass, 3 perch and the rest pickeral. all fish but 2 were caught down back about 40-50 ft. from shore in about 5' of water. didnt see any beds, water was 60-61* and the milfoil is already starting to take over.

i havent put a boat in there yet, but we should take mine there sometime. if i were you i would check it out first. its gonna take some effort to get back up the hill. me and my son fished it from the shore. it was one of my secret spots, but we got skunked the last few times we went. like i said, theres some big'ns in there. heres one i caught from the other side by the drain;

i usualy park in the dirt lot facing the canal by the gate. my son caught a 4 pounder there and i caught a 3 pounder. if you follow spine rd to the end youll see the river to the right and the pond to the left. theres a chainlink fence around the pond but theres a hole somewhere with a maze of trails that access the pond. wear your boots, theres alot of marsh. also, if you follow the trail along the river youll see a drain the goes from the pond to the river. fish the pond there. thats where i caught my 3 pounder.
