I lived in Merrimack for 1 year, the river and railroad tracks ran 75 yards from our backyard, i always walked the tracks along the river and wondered what kinda fish were in there. I was in my Harley Davidson phase of life after just gettin out of the service and wasnt into fishing at that time.

Lots of big carp amongst other fish in the Merrimack. But these are from Charles River. That dirty water. A lot prestigious institutions round here:

I've been on a roll this year with the crappie. I got this one on a Pop-R cast straight out from the bank.

They were chewin this morning. Chunky little 30.75" absolutely smoked a mid Medussa, and the 39.75" came on one of my homemade double 8's. I also lost one around 40" on the spinner, because I'm a dummy. I tried horsing it into the net with it's head out of the water, and it shook off. I know better, but did it anyway because... I'm a dummy.Ā šŸ˜‚šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļøĀ 

Ā I also had a mid 40's smoke my spinner about 15' from the boat, in about 3' of water. It was an awesome bite to watch, but it didn't turn and I had to set the hook with the fish coming straight at me. I didn't get a good hookup and it came unbuttoned after a few big head shakes. So... 2 for 4 today.

Ā I had 8 other follows including another mid 40's. I found the bigger fish way in the back of a couple bays that have creeks entering them. Things are setting up like they were last August when I started chasing these slimy critters, so I'm hoping this deal is gonna hold up for awhile.Ā 

Ā I ran around and hit some other stuff today and eliminated a bunch of water. I feel like I have a solid game plan for tomorrow morning.Ā šŸ¤ž

We've been getting down in the low 50's at night lately. Water temp has dropped 5 degrees in a week on the back side of that heat wave.Ā

Thank you for the compliment Katie. I'm making progress. Since I didn't start chasing them outside the cold water seasons until last August, these past few months have been a learning experience for sure. I now have a solid foundation to build on next spring though.

Ā The fish are now moving into the same summer pattern where I found them last August, so I'm expecting my numbers to pick up soon.Ā 

Ā I set a goal of catching 100 of them slimy suckers this year, and I'm only a quarter of the way there with half the year gone. I have my work cut out for me for the rest of the year, but it's still doable with a bit of luck.Ā šŸ¤ž

I'm gonna give it my best. If only the water wasn't quite so clear... I've hooked up on and lost a couple dozen of those dang nippers in the past month. It'd be nice to get some storms to stain the water up a bit. I could really go on a tear if that happens.

Got out for about 2-1/2 hours Monday with the ultralight setup and caught a mixed bag.IMG_3190.jpeg.fa1ebbafe987e878e712dd00aae8d672.jpegIMG_3189.jpeg.f70cf4b73743a6ad18e25233e7dbd11a.jpegIMG_3186.jpeg.82cb0cbff1d0f02e7e2137737a514d85.jpegIMG_3183.jpeg.e339a40c388ee4629844869fe6e5dce1.jpeg

Shore fishing this morning - almost skunked, but I'm not too proud

Ā 

Also tried a Finesse-Jika with a few different plastics...3" Tiny Brush Hog (GP), 3" Rage Bug (GP), 4" Zoom C-Worm (Wtrmln Seed)...something wanted it, lots of 'tap-tap-tap', but it never committed to any of them.

Yeah man come cold water season Im gonna go pretty serious for trophy trout. Last cold water season I had a lot of luck. So much so Im just kind of kickin it thinking about cold water season. I had a huge brown trout come up to shore behind a spoon, swirl, swirl, take! After a short struggle I lost it on a bent treble. It was very savage and it turned me. Turned me to the cold water.Ā

One good carp. They were being real shy. The slightest misstep could spook em.Ā

The fish continue to be finicky in the clear water. I lost one yesterday and had 6 more follows. Today was a bit better. I was fortunate to go 2 for 2 today as both fish just had the rear treble. I also had 8 more chasers. It was a short bite window, with both fish coming about 15 min apart.Ā 

Ā Hopefully Beryl helps me out and stains the water up tomorrow.

Well... Beryl didn't do me any favors. It largely missed us to the west. All we got was a few showers and a little wind. It's not gonna be enough to stain the lake. It did kill the bite I was on though. The chunky little 31.5" below kept the skunk out of the boat. It absolutely choked the mid Medussa I was ripping over a weedy point. I only moved one other fish. It was a mid 30's that lazily followed a crank in.Ā

The game plan for tomorrow is to move out of the bays, and spend a bunch of time ripping rubber on main lake points.Ā šŸ¤ž
