Hi everybody! I'm pretty new to this forum, and to bass fishing all together. I'm still in school and have just started taking intrest in fishing without bait and hook. Anyway, i need a little bit of advice.

I live around in NH, around the south-eastern border of Maine. Anyway, it's been getting pretty cold in the mornings, around 45 degrees, and getting pretty nice around the middle of the day to afternoon, about 65-75 degrees. Anyway, I fish the Salmon Falls River ( for those of you near where I am you know there hasn't been many salmon in it in a long time :'(.

Anyway, the river tends to get pretty shallow along straight runs, and I can catch a lot of different types of fish in it. Sunfish, Brown Trout, Some Largemouth Bass, things like that. Well, a bit farther sownstream from one of the bridges is a small isolated pond of water with barely any current. There's a little bit of current leading into and out of it, it has many rocks and weeds on the bottom to get caught on. I've tried a brown curly tailed grub the other day, but I only got 1 bit, and the thing got away too.

Any advice on different types of lures to use here? Oh ya it is like 2-3 feet near the stream openings and at least 7 feet in the middle.

Welcome to the forum. I would try the senko rigged wacky stile. This will usually get the attention of any fish that are around.

( wacky is when you insert the hook through the middle of the worm

with the point exposed.) Good Luck.

Welcome aboard!

Sounds like an in-line spinner could do the trick - I love using those in rivers.

WELCOME to the forums!

inline spinners definetly will work... a lighter color like yellow works wonders for me in those kind of situations

Welcome

I would go with a Senko and cast into the slow current that is coming into this pool and let the current push the senko in there.  Give it some small twitches and HANG ON!!

Welcome to the forum!

I probally couldn't help you very much cause really there are alot of things that will work but it has more to do with what will work for you.

I really think reading the articles from this website would be a great place to start.

Welcome aboard.

I wouldn't give-up on the grub yet, and the in-line spinners should do the trick too.

Falcon

is an inline spinner the same as a normal spinner? :-/ im a bit confused on that one

Sounds like a good place for a shallow running crankbait.

Welcome aboard.

Cheers,

Ahh i get it now. Well i'll try out tomorrow after school. any more advice until then is much appreciated.

Welcome to the site.  

If the water is that slow moving you might be able to go with some type of topwater bait.
