took a ride to see some local ponds today and there were people ice fishing :'( but around salem there were some lakes with open water. looks like southern NH should be ice out with a couple more weeks of warm weather. anyone out there fishing yet? what are you using? bassmaster6

fourbizz you really sound like you know what your talking about, if this bait sucks what do you recomend? what are some of the good swim-baits that you have tried? i would like to know before i go wasting my money on a swim-bait that is no good. thanks bassmaster6

ok so maybe the spinnerbaits with the lightning rod and extreme thanks for the link nick some good stuff!! bassmaster6

the first boat i ever fished out of was a 10ft flat bottom with a deck and as long as your carefull you will be fine. i now use a old town canoe me(250lbs) and my buddy(290lbs) with all of our gear, a trolling motor, battery and we stand up to fish so as long as your are carefull and dont excesivly move around it should be good. bassmaster6

tackle warehouse has it here is the link http://www.***.com/descpage-MSFA.html Bassmaster6

Hey, i was wondering what techniques i should use for the combos i have and what line to put on them braid mono or fluro. here is what i have and my thoughts. #1 Baitcasting-Daiwa Mike Iaconelli 7'2" H Pitch and Skip with Shimano Citica E i was thinking 20# braid use for flipping and pitching jigs and texas rigs maybe frogs? #2 Baitcasting-Berkley Lighting rod 6'6" MH BPS Extreme reel. i was thinking 10-14# mono like suffix swimbaits, topwaters maybe? #3 Spinning-Shimano Compre 6'6" MH shimano stradic. I was thinking Berkley 100% fluro 8# for finnese worms, crainkbaits, spinnerbaits. any input would be great!! Thanks Bassmaster6

His show can be annoying but it is nice for me because he often fish's lake's i fish up here in NH. I met him on lake massabesic last summer, he was not throwing the infamous fleck spinner-bait but he was throwing a wacky rigged worm and he had far more success than i was having. so i wouldn't say that he is a bad angler. i would like to see him fish tournaments tho to see how he does, and who ever watches the show is an idiot may be a little harsh don't you think? Bassmaster6

is it possible that he used different rods on the day of the tourny i think those pics are from practice right? i dont see ike lieing in an interview about what he used. i also talked to ike at the worcester fishing and hunting show and he said he would be using his line of rods in the classic. bassmaster6

Nice looking boat! i hvae a 14 foot v-hull and im going to start my deck build this thread will really come in handy. about how much did you spend on it? how does it go with the 15 horse? thanks bassmaster6

Here is the video where he talks about using it. http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-videos/iaconelli.html Bassmaster6

i have the Mike Iaconelli 7'2" pitch and skip version havnt been able to use it yet tho, still all ice up here in Nh ike used his 7'2" pitch and skip version in the classic. he used it with a steez reel and was throwing a tru tungsten tube Bassmaster6

Is it transom or bow mount? i have a 40 thrust on the bow and unless there is extreme winds it pulls my boat along with no problem at all, i have left my gas motor at home and just went all day with the 40# and it worked awesome.

My Favorite tackle shop is about 10 minutes from my house, northern bass supply. It has just about everything you could need. they also know the area lakes, they know whats working in the area, and also it has great customer service because its a small tackle shop. i do take the 2 1/2 hour trip to bass pro or cabelas once and a while, just to see what they have. Bassmaster6

how does the Black widow hold up against the citica e there in the same price range?

I just bought one of the tru-life baits, although i have not used it yet i have seen the action of it and it looks very real. here is a link, it shows the action of it http://www.***.com/icast08.html?ccode=TRUISH if its to small i think they also have a 7,8, and 9" models.

Hey i went a fishing expo and picked up one of them 4" tru-tungsten swimbaits. if you are familiar with these they have the pin that comes out to add weight. my problem is i cant get the pin out!! > any tricks or maybee im doing something wrong? any input would be apreciated thanks Bassmaster6

Anyone using the new Mike Iaconelli baitcasting rods? they look nice, how do they perform? thanks Bassmaster6

It's going to be Christmas soon, and I am looking for a new baitcasting rod and reel set-up. I am looking to spend less than 150.00 on a rod and 150.00 on a reel. I am going to mostly use this set-up for flipping and pitching. I was looking at the E21 Carrot Stick and the Shimano Citica. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, BassMaster6

Thanks for all the info!! I am not sure of the year or brand of the boat or motor. There is a trailer for the boat but it was a home made one that the person i bought the boat from made, it is in good shape tho and all lights work and wheels are good. both motors are going the trolling motor is a motorguide i think its a 1998. what would be the correct hp to push a boat like the cajun that i showed? i have seen other bass trackers with 25hp and 40 hp on them is that enough power? thanks, all the input is greatly appreciated Bassmaster6

I have a 14ft v hull with a 4hp motor and a 55# thrust trolling motor. both motors run strong and the boat has no leaks and is in good condition. i am looking to upgrade and get a new boat but i have some questions. 1. Would i be better off with a bass tracker alluminium boat like this http://nh.craigslist.org/boa/865992700.html or a glass boat like this http://nh.craigslist.org/boa/851898834.html? 2. how much could i sell my boat set up for? any advice would be greatly appreciated thanks Bassmaster6

Well i have been fishing out of an older 14' alluminum v-hull, it has a 4 horse motor and a 55# thrust trolling motor. Ive been saving up some money and now its time to upgrade so i can fish bigger lakes. I have about $2000 saved up so far so i would like to stay around that price. any information about what i should look into getting would be greatly appreciated. i did see this boat on craigslist: http://nh.craigslist.org/boa/831898313.html thanks Bassmaster 6

Hey guys im a fellow NH fisher. I fish the smaller lakes in southern NH. I fished long pond in danville today. Caught 4 small ones around 1 pound and 1 good size one. I caught all of them on a texas rigged worm.

The recoil spring for the pull start on my 4 horse evinrude broke and i am trying to replace it. I bought the part from napa today, i heard you only can put it in one way or it will break. any tips or information to do this would be greatly appreciated. thanks Bassmaster6

i think the model is Motor Guide Brute 750. Here is the link http://nh.craigslist.org/boa/641239777.html thanks Bassmaster6

I am planning on buying a bow mount trolling motor for my 14" v hull. the trolling motor i am looking at has a plug on the end, i want to connect it straight to a battery. there are three wires can i just cut the plug odd and connect directly to the battery? any input would be great Thanks Bassmaster6
