NHbass'ntrout

I am buying a new Ascend D10T kayak this weekend/next week. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for bass ponds with the water still cold. I kayak fished lincoln pond amherst almost 3 weeks ago with half of it ice, caught a 1lb pick. Anyone been out yet in NH?

I recently went a small pond (mt. Williams pond) which only has smallmouth in it. I was wondering if there were any other bodies of water in southern NH that contained smallmouth and not largemouth.

I brought home a medium sized yellow perch today for dinner. I noticed the yellow grubs in it after i had killed it. Is it ok to eat?

Me and a friend took the kayaks out and headed along the shoreline to the left. Shortly after i landed a 5lb bass near a small cove, we headed out of the cove to see what i am 90% sure was a gator swimming(i would be 100%, but this is NH) across the lake. I coukd only see the head but i have seen and caught gators fishing in florida before. I followed it about 30 feet away to snag a picture but it went under the water.I know they pulled out 2 gators from this pond in 2012, someone must be releasing them every year since they dont live the winter.
