Slow spring for me, how about everyone else?

Hey guys, I moved out to Western NH and have been looking at the stuff in western MA. Any advice for some decent lakes would’ve great. The only place I know is the Quabbin, and I haven’t gotten there yet because my motor is too big. Thanks!

This is amazing. Thanks for the link!

Yeah, redmexican5081 is right. Most stuff is free of ice south of Concord. I think Stumpfield is free as well.

No but it is on my top 10 list to get to this year. I hear there’s some decent fish in there

Hey Martin, I don’t fish the Nashua river much but there is a lot of information in the southern New Hampshire thread about it. There are a few guys that fish that river a lot. Good luck!

I'm from North Conway originally used to always fish Keyzer when I was young. Thanks for the non-advice Mainebass. Helpful!

Nice fish guys. I got out on my favorite spring fishing pond on Friday in the Nitro and had a great day. It was kind of slow in the morning butreally picked up in the afternoon. Got out again yesterday to a small pond in the canoe and killed it around sunset. Lots of 2 to 3 pound largemouth bass. Everything came on a tube or one of the many rage baits I have thanks to Shane (you rock buddy!) on Friday and everything came on a jig yesterday. Very excited that the jig bite is on, and it seems like the big fish are already shallow. Gonna be a great spring! Tight lines all! Anyone have any advice for a great place to vacation in early June in Maine? Want to take a week and hit the water to find some big Maine fish! Why this is posted like this is beyond me lol

Nice fish Shane! I got out for a few hours in the canoe, but no luck. I was mostly throwing jerkbaits and squarebills. Tried a jig for a while, and still no luck. it was nice to be out there but a hog would have been better. Getting the Nitro out of storage this week so hopefully I'll be on the fish by Saturday. Tight lines!

If that was 4 feet bigger it would be in my yard right now. Good luck Shane!

Not a 10lb'er, but a decent 5lb'er I caught yesterday. For some reason, I cannot get the editor to rotate the image. I'll fix it when it is working correctly again.

Beautiful fish buddy! That is how you do it!

Hi Everyone. Got out to Spofford on Friday and hit Highland in Saturday. Spofford was great fishing, and we caught big smallies and LMB all day long. Highland was a little slower, but we still managed to catch some nice fish. I lost a 5 to 6 pounder at the boat right off the bat that morning, so that was tough to get over. Otherwise a great couple of days.

I will be. I have the next week off to fish starting...now! The smallies are gonna have a rough week.

I'm so so sorry to hear that. I've got a 90hp Merc. If you don't mind, how does that happen? I'm new to boat motors the last few years so I'm scared of everything. Good luck with the twins! Kids are great!

I'm curious how your trip went? I'm planning on checking it out next week. Did you rent a boat?

Nice fish everyone! I went out to Highland Lake yesterday. Water was 56-58 and there were not many fish cruising the shallows. Caught a half dozen decent fish, all coming on a square bill in bluegill, mostly smallies. My buddy also caught a few on a creature bait, all LMB. I would say that fish is 2.5-3lbs

Thanks Bob. I picked up a map of all the lakes around here a few years ago at Northern Bass Supply. I'm really looking forward to it.

Hey guys! I'm depressed that we have no good open water yet so I decided to start doing some summer fishing trip planning. I'm going to be staying on Squam Lake (Big) June 6-10. It looks like a great smallie lake, as well as trout and salmon. If anyone has any info they would like to share, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

Thanks mainebass.

Hey you guys. Anyone remember when major league fishing was taped up in Maine? I know I could search the forum but I'm trying to do this through my phone. Thanks'

I cannot say it better, so I won't. Well said Shane. Any idea if/when they draw down Highland? It's gotta be prime big fish time there now, but Saturdays have been horrible for me.

Spofford Lake in Chesterfield is your best bet There are monster pike in there.

My buddy has a camp on there and he told me it used to be a really good fishery when he was a kid. He feels like the quality of the fish there has really decreased in the past 10 years or so, but he is not sure why.
