JQ-92

Raging owl, I live in Amherst so not far from Milford at all. I do a fair amount of bank fishing and could help you out as well. PM me and I can share with you some great shore fishing spots in the area and could meet up with you and show you what works for me.

Has anyone ever fished Lake Horace in Weare? Or Clough state park (Everett lake)

There is a warm water dishcharge in the merrimack river at the bow power plant I believe......not sure if it’s still running either.

Just did some research because I was curious myself to do some open water fishing. It looks like they aren’t discharging anymore. I couldn’t find anything too recent but this article might help. https://www.reformer.com/stories/vermont-yankee-shutdown-drastically-changed-river-impact,503639

Skunked Saturday not even a bite. My brother fished a smaller body of water that morning and caught tons of bass on a black and blue 1/2 oz chatter bait with a craw trailer. I tried jerk baits, chatter baits, Texas rigged worm. Couldn’t find the fish from shore unfortunately. Just winterized the boat might try taking the kayak out sometime this week but the nights are getting pretty cold. Anyone have better luck?

Appreciate the feedback guys. I’ll be heading out Saturday I’ll let you know how I do.

Has anyone been out recently? With the cold nights into the 30’s I’m wondering if the bass will still be shallow on fall patterns or starting to head out deep.

Fished a a decent size pond in Manchester on Wednesday. Fishing was pretty slow for me. Texas Rigged 5 inch yum Dinger is what I caught all my fish on. Caught 4 In about 3 hours from shore. All probably around a pound. Had some great blowups on my frog but they missed it a bunch. Yesterday fished a small local pond and caught 7 bass in about 2 hours. None of size really but they were hammering the frog and didn’t really care for my weightless Texas rigged worm which is usually money. In the small pond they were definitely very active chasing bait and shallow. As for the bigger lakes I couldn’t really figure it out. I was fishing on shore so limited access to deep water. Don’t know if that helps at all. Goodluck!

Fishing has been pretty good lately. Caught these two over the past couple weeks.

Appreciate the feedback I'll give it a shot!

Looking to do some small mouth fishing tomorrow in the southern NH area because I figured the waters warmer. Any suggestions? Is canobie any good? Massebesic?

Caught my first bass of the season yesterday in southern NH. Caught it on a white Weighted tube.

Appreciate the help thank you very much!

Heading out tomorrow to fish Dublin lake for some small mouth. Figured I'd have better luck fishing for small mouth than large mouth this time of year. Any tips on how to catch them so late in the fall? what kind of depths I should be fishing? I've always struggled catching fish late in the season. I'm thinking a weightless texas rig, Hair jig, and jerkbait? Any tips are greatly appreciated!

I was going to try and fish it from shore or drop my kayak in. Wasn't sure how the fishing was but theirs only one way to find out!

Has anyone fished Everett Lake in Weare NH?

I've fished all those lakes and they are great! But echo lake has shore access all around it where as those big lakes you need a boat. I'd be fishing from shore I should have specified but thanks for all the feedback! Appreciate it tight lines.

Was wondering if there were any good shore fishing spots in southern NH or places with trails along a lake, river, pond? I know of the heald tract in Wilton, NH and the rail trail in Rindge, NH. I'd appreciate the help!

Has anyone fished Echo Lake in Conway, NH? fish and game says it has small mouth and was just wondering if it was worth the 2.5 hour drive.

Thank you so much for all your help!

where in Lincoln would you suggest? if you don't mind sharing.

Looking to go vacation in Maine around July, 4th and I want to stay somewhere with some good shore fishing for some large or small mouth bass. Are there any lakes or ponds that have good shore fishing access or trails? thanks!

I don't know how far you are willing to drive but Pawtuckaway Lake is pretty good and has both large and small mouth. Turkey Pond in concord, Nh is good as well as messabesic in Manchester.

Has anyone fished the Pisgah Reservoir? Thinking about heading over after classes today and was wondering if it would be worth my time.

Going out fishing in the Rindge area today. I'll let you know how I do!
