Do you guys think that any bass that were shallow are retreating back to the deeper water as this cold front and rain moves through?

I'll let you know tomorrow. I'm gonna try to wack'em with a big spinner bait or a deep driver crankbait. If that don't work I will try jigs or Senkos. Hopefully it won't be raining hard.

I think youre right. The fish that were shallow may slide back a little deeper with the front moving through.  I was out on Wednesday and they were buried deep in brush.  If I were able to get on the water today, my plan would be to hit the deeper water pockets on the fringe of that cover.  I dont think they'll be moving to far though.  The water temps are really climbing and the nights aren't really getting that cold anymore.

Got you yesterday, Managed only 2 bass. 2lbs 3oz and 2lbs 10oz. Lost another smaller one by the boat. We did get about 10 pickeral and a perch. Spinnerbaits seemed to be the only thing that worked with the wind.

I went out a work for 15 minutes on tuesday and did manage to land this pig on my last cast. I had no scale (Being on my lunch break) I can comfortably say it was around 4lbs.

Definitely the best bass I've ever caught in 15 minutes of fishing!

I wish my lunch breaks were like that.  :'(  Nice job!

wgn, where were you

I cant wait until this crappy weather passes by. Sunday looks like the next potential nice day.

Haha. I was thinking the same exact thing. Then I realized that we had an 80 deg day in early April and I decided to cut mother nature a little slack. I think Im hitting up Silver Lake in Harrisville on Sunday morning. Im doing a little trout fishing. Im bringing my bass gear just in case the trout fishing is slow so I can go after some smallies.

wgn, where were you

Honestly, I have no idea. It's some little pond in merrimack. My buddy asked if i wanted to run out at work for a few minutes and he drove me there. He caught also caught a little bass and I caught a crappie.

I don't think the place even has a name.

I have been following this thread since early last year, figured it was time i joined. I got out of Harris Pond in Pelham Friday after work. It was rainy all day, got on the water around 3:30 and ended up leaving around 6:30, rain just got obscene. I managed 9 bass, 2 pickerel. My buddy only landed 1 pickerel. Largest was 3 lbs. All were caught on a Perch colored Rapala crankbait that I cant even find on their site anymore. It has a strange L-shaped lip, so you can adjust where it dives to depending on speed and type of retrieve, I think it was 4-6ft depth. All 5-10 feet off the shoreline.

Nice fish wagn!! You're already hammering them this year!

I think I know that pond by looking at the shoreline. It's actually some sort of small state/town park right in Merrimack. It's pretty easy to find and I think there is a real launch there as well depending on where you enter the park. That is unless I'm confusing it for somewhere else.

I got my new truck and bass rig yesterday (2010 Toyota Tacoma V6 and a 2001 Nitro NX 750DC with 90hp Merc). Here's some pics. I'm always up for fishing on fridays, and most weekends.

Dude, nice boat! Hey, Fridays are good for me too if we want to get a larger group together sometime! I fish every Friday, one way or the other.

Awesome rig Jay. I have off Fridays also. Let's go fishing. PM me boys if you want some company.

Fished Canobie Sunday 7LM bass biggest was 3lbs. After that windy front moved through the shallow bite died. Not to shabby, for 9am - 3pm.

Wow, looks like everyone has been doing great! I spent the last two weeks in Florida so i haven't got out yet. Nice boat and truck Jay! I am also off Fridays so let me know.

-matt-

Jay, that's awesome!

Can't wait to get out on the water with you soon. Looks like alot of people who have boats fish on friday's this year. I usually fish Thursday's but also have every friday free.

I'm laid off and can get out on Fridays.. I don't have a boat but I do have gas money and the urge to fish ..

UNH, I met you last year @ Mill Pond, I wne there Friday but got skunked again..

Nice boat Jay!  Looks like you're all set for many seasons to come.

I got out Sunday morning for a couple of hours on Silver Lake in Harrisville.  Managed to do pretty well despite the winds.  Here's a picture of the rainbows we pulled in.

I hear ya. I have only been able to get two small ones out of there so far. Fishing is tough right now. I know some have been lucky another to catch some big ones, But not me.  :-[

Nice rainbows Sauagefinger23. Your doing well so far. Congrats.

Nice trout dude! I'm going to be fishing Silver lake a lot this year I think. I've never been there, but with the nice launch and good fishing, I just have a feeling about it.

Thanks everyone!! I'm psyched to get out. I have not gotten out there for a couple weeks due to my hectic schedule and crappy weather on Friday, but I'm hoping this week brings me the fish with the new rig.

I'm already fishing this friday with wagn, but maybe next Friday guys!  Or we could all meet up at Franklin Pierce Lake and just have a mini tourney!

I've never fished there, but I'm down!

Fished Canobie Sunday 7LM bass biggest was 3lbs. After that windy front moved through the shallow bite died. Not to shabby, for 9am - 3pm.

The bite most definitely did die after that front came through on Sunday. I caught a few on the CT River, came home, ate lunch and went to a small local pond. Ended up with a couple bass and an accidental 11 pound 1 oz pike on a little bluegill swimbait

Holy crap. Nice catch.

Get outta here! That's a cool accident! Nice job, man!
