That's a great fish Jay, looks like a football  

wow! nice fish.

Thanks guys!  I'm still psyched today.

Me and my buddy went last night and caught a bunch of fish,.  Nothing huge, but really steady action until we got rained out around 8:00PM.

Hear Ye'! Hear Ye'!!

When: July 12th, 7am-2pm

Where: Piscatequog river, Goffstown NH.

Winners and losers will be recieving dumb prizes, garuanteed!!!

Hey guys. Me and some friends are holding a tourney, really just a for fun get together.

Looking for a few more people interested. Right now we are looking primarily for boaters. It's an no-gas motor tourney (trolling or paddle only)

You don't need a livewell or anything fancy. Were going to be going by lenght of fish not weight.

There's gonna be cookout after as well

If your interested or have more questions, PM me.

you should create a new thread for this. im intersested but both my fishing partners may have other plans that weekend. is it open to teams or just individuals? if no livewell how do we prove the fish we catch? pictures? you going unhbass?

Jaystraw, What areas of halfmoon pond were you fishing? I've been there before a couple of years ago.

nashua fisherman  I may go, Do you want to team up? I just don't think my inflatable will be enough room for both of us. From the looks of it they all have crawdads and canoes. I could bring my Bass Tracker, But I don't think outboards are allowed.

The tracker is fine, you just have to use the trolling motor only.

It's not a real big lake, I'll be fishing out of my tracker as well.

If you guys want to team up or come seperately that would be great. The more the merrier.

Got out today on the Piscatequog. (where the tourney is being held). Man was there alot of rain. We still managed 9 bass a few pikeral and a perch. It was a fun day. I love fishing in the rain.

i was going to say we should team up and use my boat, but my wife is going to break her plans(bridal shower for ex-coworker) and go with me. me and you should definetly go fishing sometime though. ide like to learn how to fish for bass other than pounding the bank and fishing the pads. maybe we could follow you up or prefish the spot together before the tourny since were both from nashua.

anyways, in an attemp to find a new fishing spot we tried to get on ezikal pond in derry. the access is overgrown with weeds and it would have been impossable with our boat. we went to scobie pond in londonderry for a second time with no luck. found out from locals its more of a crappie pond. we also tried beaver lake. this place is huge compared to what were used to. the whole shoreline is developed and we forgot the fishfinder so we were just overwhelmed. we tried everything from crankbaits to spinners and my wife caught two small pickerals on a small jig/grub.

Great fish Jaystraw.  Just curious what size senko you were using.  I'm finding that bigger is better, but wondering about what others are doing.

Yes we should fish together sometime. I may head up there to check it out, But not sure when.

spin king I use 5" senkos and even the little fellas hit. I have caught 5 pounders on them also.

I caught her not too far from the launch off the shore on the left side of the pond.  It's funny because it was my first visit there.

I almost exclusively use 4 and 5 inch senkos.  I think i am going to try going a little bigger though as I've heard some good things from other people just recently.

Yea I watched ur video and I think I know where u were. There was a camping area with a little opening in the woods for launching boats right?

yup, that's exactly where I was.

Right place at the right time, and toss in a little luck as well.

nice. Im going to have to try that place again sometime. Did you catch numbers in there or was it mainly just that mosnter??

I think I caught around 6-8 bass between 6:30am and 9:00am.  Pretty good for a short trip, but nothing big except that giant.

My buddy and I wernt out two nights ago and had a great trip.  Big smllies were hitting topwater and senkos.  Here's a pic of the three pounder I caught:

Nice smallie Jay.

How much do you think all this rain will affect the fishing? I was at powder mill pond the other day and there was a stronger then usual current. I could not find any bass. Powder Mill Pond is an impoundment on the contoocook river if you didn't already know this. Anyone know how an increased current flow would affect the bass behavior?

I have no problem catching bass in the rain. I went out today and caught 5 bass. I have fished many days in the rain and done well, Bass feed good then. Now you said a strong current, That is where you won't find bass. They will look for a place with no current, But this could close to where the current is also to ambush there prey as they swim by. Hope this helps.

The rain seems to be pushing the fish a lot shallower thn usual where I've been fishing.

Yea it definitley seems that rain will push bass shallower. But I heard thaton reservoirs, the current can affect the food in the water that baitfish feed on. Like it will push it down "stream" and the bait fish will follow and so will the predators such as bass.. does this sound somewhat right? So if it is true maybe Ill have to find banks and other current breaks where baitfish might be gathering?

Got out today. Me and a buddy caught 25 bass. The largest was 3.5lbs

Once the rain stopped the bite died down real quick.

Hope Everyone else is enjoying the rainy weather like I am  ;D

Updated the NH tourney thread with a sweet vid as well.
