2 bass yesterday on the Nashua river above the generator station.. 11 bass today.. working the weeds/muck hard with mud bugs and frogs.. but the patience paid off with 2's, 3's and a sweet 4lb'er..

Hi Nev, I was one of the other guys fishing the river that day in my 12' rowboat with a 10hp outboard... My fishing partner and I were on the river for about an hour before the "great bunch of guys" bass club came roaring up the river in a line of 15(+/-) Some of the group could have used more discretion with other boats (smaller) around in their attempt to "get there first"... I have done the fast boats / fishing clubs scene before (riding an old Cajun with a 150hp on the Nashua river back in the mid 80's when the new launch was nuthing but a mud ramp), and as much fun as the blast off is and the race to get to your favortie spot is, we always used common sense and courtesy with other boats already there that obviously got up earlier than we had.. My partner caught a 4lb that day.. working the weeds/pads hard with a mud bug.. I caught a 3lb myself with a weedless frog.. Food for thought.. I never caught a bass yet that gave two shakes whether the two dollar worm it had the mis-fortune of chomping on was getting pulled in by an angler on a $200 boat or a $30k boat.. you can spend what you want on the fancy stuff.. but ultimately.. your throwing a $4 lure at the fish.. same as the next guy.. Take care.. have fun fishing and boat safe!!
