where would u commonly find a place taht sells contour maps like would a hardware store sell them

so really i shouldnt look for the fish alot i should just use it to identify weed beds drop offs stumps and floats and all other cover and fish those even if their arent any fish there. also anyone no where i can get free good contour maps and such or is their a book or a store where i can get some?

Where would i get one of these handheld gps and navionics maps chips for nh lakes if you could post a good fairly cheap one with the navionics chip it would be great something around 100-200 dollars for the whole setup

Thanks everyone one more final question i have a fish finder and im wondering how do ppl use it to find fish and such do they just use the fish finder or do they get maps along with it also i would like to know how to identify underwater structure such as drop offs and shoals weed beds and such like on a depth map and on the fish finder i have a eagle cuda 300 portable and am looking to utilize it more to find fish

Okay every tournament angler and every angler basically now has a fish finder and i understand the concept of how it uses sonar to show bottom structure and such but my real questions are 1. How do i determine where to go with my fishfinder and how to tell what areas i should fish 2. shouldi get a depth map of the lake first off and how would i read this to determine where i should start fishing 3. what would i see when i spot fish on it and also how would i determine whether a spot is worth trying or not like if i see one fish arch go by shouldi try fishing for that fish 4. if a drop off comes up or some type of structue should i fish it nay way if i dont see any arches of some sort 5. how would i determine bait fish on my fish finder 6. on a depth map what would like drop offs shoals undercover structure and things look like so i coulf figure out where to go Last i have an eagle cuda 300 portable fish finder it may not be high quality but i heard they were pretty good for 130 bucks also if there are any articles on this topic or other forum questions it would be aprreciated if u coulds post them here thanks

Im just wondering how would i be a good non boater for the person using theri boat to fish like what are some tips i should use to actually be a help in the back of the boat also should i use about the same thing my partner is and what are some of the main category baits i should bring with me?

Thank you for all the help also i would like to know where i could find these nh bass clubs cause tahts where i fish

Okay thanks for all the help guys and what are some good practice tips for in the yard like any sort of drills or things i should use to improve my casting techniques?

Hey i wanna know what is your top 3 largemouth baits in your opinions the ones you have the most confidence in to catch largemouth also i would like to see where you use these baits and around what types of structure do you fish them all response i would like to see in list form like this here is my top 3 JerkBait (Rapala Original Floater) - Used near docks and weed beds Zoom Curly Tail worm - Used near docks rocks and sometimes deep structure fishing Willow/Colorado blade spinnerbait about 1/2 oz - Used around docks and retrieved fast near points drop offs weed beds and rocky structure also near sunken trees usually instantly i catch a fish on these

Ive fished behind stellos and had no luck i belive its called mines falls? , but anyways you would think it would be a great fishing spot with all the seclusion and no boats really also their is alot of weeds in the area with a lot of cover youd think it be great for largemouth but i guess not. I usually fish at Northwood Lake in Northwood, NH and last year the fishing was slow but its really been making a comeback this year this weekend i caught 10 fish 5 bass and 5 pickerel all exceeding over 2 pounds and the 2 biggest bass were a 3.5lb smallmouth and a 4lb largemouth it was really enjoyable if you guys ever get the chance try it out the lake is good for jon boats and v hulls all the way up to bass boats kayaks and canoes probably to i fished mostly around docksthis weekend and also alot of over hang cover and caught pretty nice fish also jerkbaits such as rapala floaters rubber worms and spinnerbaits were the hot ticket this weekend well i hope you all enjoy yourselves and hope to see you on the lakes Keep Rippin Lipzzz

One more question when im fishing a tournament what fish should i aim for largemouth or smallmouth?

Where would this faq be located ?

Huh?

Hi im just wondering i have about 8 bags of diffrent colored senkos going from black to bubble gum pink and i really have no clue how to use them but i here they are really good ive been fishing for about 7 years now and ive never seen or used them im used to fishing jigs spinnerbaits lizards and jerkbaits so if you could just fill me in on how to fish them how to rig them whats the best way to rig them i should say and also are they good for particularly largemouth or smallmouth? thanks any help is aprreciated

So wut im using now is pretty good i see also what is a good strtegy for pre fishing

So i really should join as a non boater first ive been fihing since i was six and i understand the concept and alot about bass fishing when i fished my first tournament i really loved it and i just want to get into it more also what gear shouldi get and about how many rods persay also im just wondering if you all could share what baits you all use during tournaments like your top 3 or 5 about any help would be greatly appreciated.

So really confidence is the key here so my main baits would be a rubber worm a jerkbait (rapala orignal floater) and a spinnerbait also some lizards and senkos but i also want to get into crankbait fishing

Most likely i will be a non boater joining a club i do have a little john boat so i can get out on the water but its not tournament material also what is pitching a flipping and when should i use it? also what baits to use it on please respond
