Lake Winni Nh Summer
Shouldn't effect your catch there is tournaments in Winni constantly but there is a healthy enough population that it doesn't matter. As for where to go. There's so mny places where are you launching from? Bass will be in summer mode so I would target sunken islands and humps with deep water near by. Also boulder fields and boulder/rip rap banks as well as flipping and pitching docks ESP in the marinas. A good bet depending in where you launch wod be wolfeboro bay and the public docks. Also you can find tons of fishing reports and tournament results for winnipesaukee. Newenglandbass.com had some reports and tourney results. Good luck. Or me know how you do ill be fishing tuftenboro neck at barbers pole and cow island in 2 weeks

Abu Garcia Rod Snapped
So the other day I snagged a crankbait with 10lb flouro line. This was a month old abu Garcia hank Parker spinning rod. Granted its a cheap combo and cab be replaced for $50 I got it because I'm tight on cash right now but needed another spinning rod for lighter smallmouth applications. I love abu Garcia and use them almost exclusively but this rod has me bummed out. I'd think 10lb test would snap before the rod. I've heard of veritas snapping but my veritas has held up except for the tip guide which the insert fell out but that's an easy repair. This rod snapped in 2 at the second Guide down from the top and they want all kinds of stuff for a warranty replacement it's like they almost ask for so much as to discourage u from bothering. Has anyone else had rod snap and how did the warranty work?

Rebel floating minnow or original rapala minnow twitched on top like an injured baitfish trying to get away would have drawn quite the strikes

New To Baitcasting
You will have am easier time learning on one with more bearings. Smoother gears and an anti backlash system. I learned with a pinnacle balance. And it was difficult ur to te poor quality of it. I did find putting the baitcastig reel on a 24inch ice fishing rod allowed me to practice feathering the spool and using a gentle casting technique easier. With the longer rod I wanted to chunk te practice plug a mile and made a mess o the spool. The short rod I nailed the thumb down as well as using the wrist and got a basic pitching technique down too. As for a decent cheap combo. I fish almost exclusive Abu Garcia. And the black max and pro max are both available at walmart for under 80 bucks

Do You Tie Direct To Jigs/lures Or Use A Snap Swivel ?
There is a reason you're finding them junked along the shore.

They have a little info in fishing and a lot about their particular careers. I'm also checking to see if they have the Kevin Van Dam books in kindle yet. Then if u et to the book store of want to order amazon the big book of bass and the bass fishing almanac are incredible as are the In Fisherman smallmouth bass and in fisherman largemouth bass books

Massabesic Pre Spawn Smallies
I've been fishing the northern bank over near the public launch and landed a smallie with quite the belly on her 2 days ago moon phase was at 95%. Does anybody know a different area the spawn takes place on. Massabesic. I have quite a few different maps of the lake as well as my navionics map so simply saying a flat is too broad. Anyone know about the shoreline where the park is near the circle. Or the shoreline tht runs alongside 121?
