Fishing George's pond in grafton tonight. I took a small preview mid day and there is a tiny launch with hardly any shore access so I'll wade around. I've heard good things so we shall see.

The wife and I are going on our honeymoon to Maine the first week of July. I'm looking for some good productive ponds or lakes for bass. Around or near Portland. We'll need some type of shore access. Any help would be great. Thanks

I was there this morning. Too windy

Hey gang it's been a while! First trip! out this am and I'm looking forward to it. How's the action around Concord .I'm planning on hitting up. NHTI pond, the river over by the Nhti ball fields and maybe horseshoe pond. Any one been to any of these spots? Any luck? What worked for you?? thanks!

Hey guys long time. Took a couple weeks off and just moved over to Boscawen. Walker lake/pond is close. Also a small pond off elm st, and a larger pond/lake next to a wildlife preserve. Cant find the names of these places. Anyone ever try them? One more I see is pillsbury lake. Any info helps. Thanks

Yea I hate that. I fish late till 8:30 or so when it starts to get dark and I'm right on the shoreline in little walk down spots along my pond. The noises I hear freak me out. I had goundhogs/rats/something small running around me as I was fishing /going back to the car. I startle easy haha

Yup. It's been so consistent there lately, where I'll go from 6-8 and get 4 fish. (walking around switching spots takes up a bit of time. Found another spot today. I may fish the other side of the pond tomorrow to see what it's like.

So tonight, I went back to the pond that's got active fish. Proud to say I have my new PB a 4lber I got right after sunset. Encouraging to see bigger fish than the 1-2lbers I've been catching. and a little video I took on my cell phone. He was trying to hide

Nothing, there was a group of 10 non english speaking people with 6 kids fishing for bluegills. Kids throwing stuff in the water. Screaming running around..After an hour I decided to to my the NHTI pond (guaranteed action as of late) got 4 including my new PB 4lber just after dark. Nice to know there are bigger fish than 1-2lbers in there. I'll try it again but later on in the evening around 7pm or so or first thing in the AM

I saw them there the other night, like I said got a couple of hits with frogs but the amount of pads and vegetation is so much that it can be tough to get a plastic to the bottom. that's what's been working for mefor the last month. I'll Throw a pad crasher out tonight and work him in between the pads slowly and see how it goes. I shall let you know Nev, if it sucks I'll go back over to NHTI and get 1 or 2 small ones to make the effort worth while.

I've only heard of drop shotting. How is it for weeded areas because I have shore access only and sometimes the cover is pretty thick

Heading there tonight in hopes of getting a slob (or at least something bigger than 2lbs) I went there for a short spell the other night and parked down at the dead end. and there is a path that seperates 2 parts of the pond. Of course it's got a crapload of lilypads. Since I"ve been slaying with soft plastics as of late. Any ideas on how I can make these hogs bite, they were slow as hell chasing after my ragetail toad the other night. Any advice on this pond is greatly appreciated.

A little backstory Grew up on the ocean, fished I disagree off as a kid and teen, never had a lot of great freshwater fishing spots. So now that I'm older I've moved to New Hampshire while the fishing here from the shore isn't easy I have a couple ponds that I go to for bassin' . All ponds I fish have a decent amount of lilypads, milfoil, downed trees, etc. I can reach this cover from the shore easily. My Arsenal: I've caught EVERY bass since early june on rubber worms (Mostly Senko 5") started using a Havoc 8" juice worm (while it's lighter than the senko's having trouble getting it to sink faster/cast farther. Fishing them slowly, let it drop, bring it up and let it fall. I have tried some topwater frogs (Stanley Ribbitt, Boo-yah Pad crasher, Ragetail toad) but even with the really thick padded area. Getting a few swipes but not hooking up. (don't use any crankbaits because there is too many weeds out there) How else can I present my soft baits in these areas. Regular shoreline and super weeded areas? Trying to get my plastics to drop down better between the pad openings or at least find a different way to fish. Any details, ideas or reccomendations would be greatly appreciated.

Up here in New England it's been hot in the mid 80's -90's. But we haven't got a lot of rain so the ponds I fish are lower than normal. I've fished a few times in the am and mostly after work (5:45-8:30 normally) but I've been getting them casting straight out into the open water and then some by pads or logs near the shore. SLOW is how I've been working them and I've only been using plastic worms (if it ain't broke, don't fix it) But I have been getting steady numbers of at least 2-4 an evening. While I"m trying newer ponds, stick with what you know works at your particular location.

I've only caught bass on worms since I started fishing in early june. Got a couple aggressive ones running the worms across the pads slowly. But ever since the vast majority have been in open water and all the way up to the shore line. Weedless senkos and recently recycled my senkos (when they get all hacked up) I've been using them wacky style and jerking it a couple times reel in the slack. let it fall and repeat.

I fish from the shore and I have quite a few ponds with lily pads. However topwater has been difficult. I've used the frogs (I use the ribbits, ragetail toads and even the boo yah pad crasher. I haven't gotten a fish on any of them but I"ve gotten some swipes. I've got them by slowly moving the frog along the pads. But as of late I've been getting my fish out in the open and a few by the cover. One pond I just started fishing has so many pads that you would think it'd be perfect but they aren't as active on top as of late. Plastic worms weedless have been all I've been getting them on.

Tried sending you a pm and it wouldn't let me. Anyways I can do early mornings on weekends. During the week I only fish at night because I don't do well getting up early on work days haha. Shoot me a message on here when you think you'll want to go. Really appreciate the offer too! Thanks!

Went to old reliable at NHTI today. Got 2. One was 2lbs....still not seeing any size, they all seem the same between 1-2lbs. Worms are the only thing I'm getting action on there. Then god got angry and the wind, rain and lightning rolled in so it cut me off a little early.

I'd love to catch something over 2 friggin pounds....I thought I had a decent one on last saturday morning but he got snagged up on a log and he was gone. We shall see. been bored at work this afternoon. Looking for a boat/trailer on craigslist lol....I need to get off the d**n shoreline!

I'll go for a bit after work tonight, even though it's hot as balls out....ugh

May be fishing tonight. Have to go home and get a change of clothes...it wasn't fun sweating profusely yesterday but it was really just the humidity. I was catching fish at 5:45-7pm last night.

I work till 5 and I'm in Pembroke so I can be anywhere in the area within 15 minutes after. Let me know be nice to fish with someone. Tired of having all the fun by myself haha.

Went to NHTI Pond and Horseshoe Pond (for the first time) last night. NHTI gave me a lot of action but nothing sizeable. Caught 4 and All were between 1lb-2lbs. Using senkos weedless. Then I experimented for the first time using the wacky rig and was not dissapointed. Was just jerking it in....let it drop but keeping the action going and I got 3 of the 4 that way. Then I hopped the bridge and went to horseshoe. I had never fished there before and MAN is there a lot of pads. Fishing a worm was not in the cards...weeds every time. So I switched to a ragetail frog. Got a couple of swipes but that's it. I'll give it a try again and hopefully get better results. I got there around 7:40 so I didn't have much time to work with.
